"Wow, this is the Sphinx. It's bigger than it looks in the photo."

Xiaoyu seemed very excited.

He left the team directly and trotted to the side of the Sphinx.

She had long wanted to see what the Sphinx looked like from the side.

Usually, you can only see its front side in photos.

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Because although the front of the Sphinx looks rough, at least it looks decent.

But its body looks very cheap.

It was a long rectangular block made of stone bricks, with no polishing or filling on the surface.

If the front half of the statue is covered, some people would believe that it is construction waste that needs to be removed from the construction site.

Although it is a bit disappointing, overall, there is a reason why the Sphinx is so famous.

When you meet it for the first time, it will still give people a lot of visual shock.

It looks like this place will be fenced off soon.

At that time, tourists will no longer be able to get close to the stone statues.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Mu ran to the hind legs of the statue and took a look.

There are many legends about ancient Egypt.

Various unsolved mysteries.

Many of them can be related to mysterious aliens.

There is a legend about the Sphinx.

Legend has it that there is a secret chamber hidden in its hind legs, which contains information about Atlantis.

This legend is definitely false in the main world, but if it happens in this world, it might be possible.

In particular, Tom remembered one thing.

The palace of Basha, the water demon among the eight demons, seems to be the legendary Atlantis.

Inferring from this, it is estimated that Atlantis in this world also exists in reality.

It was with this problem in mind that Tom wanted to go and see whether there was a secret room in the hind legs of the Sphinx.

If Atlantis can really be found, Jackie Chan will have another adventure to write a book about, and its side quests will be able to go a step further.

I just came to the hind legs of the stone statue and looked at the bricks piled up in front of me.

Tom wanted to stretch out his claws to push.

Suddenly, Jackie Chan's voice was heard from behind.

"Tom! Xiaoyu! There's a call from the Cairo Museum. There's something urgent going on. We have to go back first."

Hearing this, Tang Mu looked back.

When Xiaoyu heard this, she felt as if all her energy had been drained away, and her face was full of disappointment: "Uncle Long, we just got here, and we haven't even seen the pyramids yet."

Jackie Chan was also a little embarrassed, after all, they had agreed beforehand to visit the pyramids together.

But Jackie Chan also knew the main purpose of their visit to Egypt. Now the museum said they had something to do, so of course they couldn't stay here any longer.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu. I promise, when I'm done, I'll go with you to see the pyramids. By then, the work will be done, and we'll have plenty of time."

Jackie Chan clasped his hands together and apologized to Xiaoyu.

"Okay, just this once."

Xiaoyu sighed.

"Thank you. This is for you as my apology, Tom. And yours."

Jackie Chan waited for Xiaoyu and Tang Mu to climb out of the pit where the statue was and took out two small ornaments for them as an apology.

Both trinkets are very Egyptian in style.

One of them is a small pendant of a pyramid, and the other is a pendant of Bastet, the ancient Egyptian cat goddess.

Xiaoyu likes pyramids very much, so the pyramid was naturally given to Xiaoyu.

As for Bastet's pendant, Jackie Chan didn't know whether he took into consideration that Tom was also a cat, so he gave it a pendant of the cat god.

To be honest, Tom had a pretty average feeling about the Bastet pendant. He didn't like it that much, but he didn't hate it that much either.

If you ask it to pay for it, it will definitely not buy it.

But this pendant was given to Tom as a gift, and Tom liked it very much.

Tom is the kind of person who rarely receives gifts.

Of course it will feel very happy if someone gives it a gift sincerely.

Jackie Chan bent down and put the pendant on Xiaoyu first, then on Tang Mu. He also tightened the rope and adjusted the length of the pendant.

Tang Mu took out a mirror and looked at himself. He immediately smiled with his big white teeth showing and felt very happy.

He took out the camera and took photos with Xiaoyu, Jackie Chan and others.

"Let's go, let's go back first. I also bought a gift for Dad, I hope he likes it."

Jackie Chan shook another Amon pendant in his hand and left with Tom and the others.

Listening to Jackie Chan's words, Tang Mu was also reminded.

When I go back, I can indeed bring some gifts for my dad.

Egyptian black tea tastes ok.

Oh!

correct!

You can also bring some gifts for Sui Sui and her parents.

When I return, I will say I was on a business trip abroad and bring it to them.

The driver who had brought Tang Mu and the others here hadn't left yet, so he picked them up and went back.

At the entrance of the Cairo Museum, Evelyn, who had called in advance, was already standing there waiting.

When they saw Jackie Chan and his friends getting out of the car, they hurried over to greet them.

It’s not that Evelin was so enthusiastic that she had to wait here to greet Jackie Chan.

The main reason was that the incident happened suddenly, and Evelin was also afraid that something might go wrong in the end.

The plan was to understand the current situation in advance before Jackie Chan met the people in the museum.

"what's going on?"

Jackie Chan looked at Evelin, still confused.

Evelin called Jackie Chan, and several people walked into the museum together.

When entering the museum, Tom also noticed a sign of the Cairo Museum.

It says [No photography allowed inside the museum unless you have purchased a photography ticket].

Well, it seems this situation is everywhere.

Tang Mu ignored Jackie Chan and the others and ran to buy a ticket first.

It doesn't matter what others think, Tang Mu just wants to take a photo as a souvenir.

This is its first time at the Cairo Museum, so it can't just be there for a quick look.

On the other side, Evelyn took Jackie Chan to the inside of the museum and explained to him what the current situation was.

"That's right. I told you before that the Louvre has also sent people here, and they will probably participate in this archaeological operation as well."

"Originally they said they would come next week to coincide with the British Museum staff. But for some reason, they may have learned the detailed location of the archaeological excavation, so they planned to go there to conduct the investigation before the British Museum staff."

Jackie Chan couldn’t help but widen his eyes as he listened to Evelin’s explanation.

My goodness, the British and the French are really worse than dogs.

The time had clearly been agreed upon, but everyone ended up rushing ahead.

I think I am still too honest.

If I hadn't wanted to come here in advance and travel at the same time, I probably wouldn't have been able to get first-hand archaeological information.

However, this time the people from the Louvre put in so much effort, both to obtain information about the ruins and to find out their location.

I thought I had succeeded in getting ahead of the competition.

What happened? The French didn’t expect that the British would arrive in Egypt earlier than they thought.

If they knew this, I'm afraid these smug Louvre scholars would be unable to hold back their curses.

But this has nothing to do with Jackie Chan.

Because it was the people from the British Museum who invited Jackie Chan.

In Evelyn's opinion, although Jackie Chan was an invited scholar, he could have contacted the people from the Louvre before the people from the British Museum arrived.

She obviously didn't know that people from the British Museum had also arrived in Egypt first.

If Evelyn, a young girl who has not experienced much in the world, knew all this, I am afraid that the tall and majestic image of scholars and professors in her mind would be destroyed.

Following Evelin, they walked inside and soon arrived at a large library.

The bookcases here are very tall and form a circle in the spacious room.

At this time, there was already a group of people talking in this circle.

Most of them are young people.

But it was obvious that they had no say and just stood aside, watching their mentor talking to an old man.

The old man was Terrence, the director of the Cairo Museum.

The middle-aged man who communicated the most with Director Terence was Dr. Thomas, the director of the Egyptian Museum of the Louvre.

The name Thomas is used by quite a lot of people in France.

Considering his age, he can achieve such results now, which is outstanding.

"Director Terrence, I have already told you the details. I hope you can assist in this archaeological operation."

When Evelin and Jackie Chan approached, the group’s conversation seemed to be coming to an end.

Director Terrence was silent for a while. What else could he say?

The other party was not easy to get along with, and the previous conversation was not very friendly.

There were many warnings in their words.

Anyway, I have already promised the British Museum, so it doesn’t matter if I agree to the Louvre this time.

However, this still requires some skills.

Curator Terrence smiled and said to Dr. Thomas, "We are very willing to help your museum. After all, it is for the archaeological cause of Egypt. But we promised the British Museum first. They were the ones who proposed this archaeological operation, so we have to tell them first."

Dr. Thomas frowned when he heard this. He just wanted to conduct the archaeological work before the British Museum and obtain first-hand information, so he secretly came here a few days in advance.

He knew in his heart that this was not very authentic, but in his mind the opportunity to be the first to conduct archaeological research was more important.

He also knew that Terrence in front of him did not want to get involved in their fight, and the reason he wanted to tell the British Museum was just to get himself out of it first.

I was unhappy, but I knew that things would have to turn out this way in the end.

After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Okay, you tell them."

A smile suddenly appeared on Terrence's face.

Just like Dr. Thomas thought, he really didn't want to get involved in the affairs of those two big museums.

If they really want to quarrel, just let them do it on their own and don't drag yourself into it.

Anyway, England and France have already fought the Hundred Years' War, so there is no need for a small conflict like today.

In front of everyone at the Louvre, Terence called the British Museum.
