While he was on the phone, he also saw Evelin and Jackie Chan coming over.

He raised his hand to Evelin in a fake raise, motioning them to wait until he finished the call.

Evelin nodded and stood aside with an excited look on her face.

She knew many experts and professors at the Louvre, all of whom were authoritative scholars with extensive research on ancient Egypt. For Evelyn, this was no different from a star-chasing little fan girl facing her favorite idol directly.

Terrence finished the call.

Although no one heard what was said at the British Museum, everyone present could still hear something from Terence's words.

Dr. Thomas's expression suddenly turned grim.

"Have people from the British Museum arrived here? Is it Mr. Cheng? I heard that the British Museum invited him to participate in this archaeological operation."

Dr. Thomas said this and looked at Jackie Chan standing aside.

Jackie Chan smiled awkwardly and waved hello to the group of people.

He always felt as if everyone knew him, which made Jackie Chan feel a little uncomfortable.

Terrence also looked at Jackie Chan and nodded at him.

But it can be seen that he doesn't seem to have much affection for Jackie Chan.

This made Jackie Chan a little puzzled.

It was clearly the first time we met, and I had no idea why he was hostile towards me.

Terrence looked back at Dr. Thomas and said with a smile, "Mr. Jackie Chan was indeed invited by the British Museum, but he is not the only one. Other scholars from the British Museum have also arrived. They said they will work with you."

"What? They're here too?"

There was a sudden commotion among the people in the Louvre.

Dr. Thomas's expression became even uglier.

This was totally unexpected for them.

If it was just Jackie Chan, it would be fine. But if there were any real results in archaeology, it would be difficult for the people in the British Museum to fight for it, and they would not be able to snatch it away even if they did.

But if people from the British Museum also arrived, there would be no point in them secretly coming here in advance.

The calculation is completely wrong.

Jackie Chan and Evelin stood aside, watching the developments in the field, not knowing what to say.

Director Terrence was happy to see this, and was completely in the mood to watch a show.

Sure enough, not long after the call was made.

Someone came from the British Museum.

The leader of the team was Dr. Bo Yang, whom Jackie Chan saw yesterday.

Dr. Bo Yang came in and greeted Jackie Chan and others enthusiastically, especially Jackie Chan, who was a little too enthusiastic.

He completely ignored the people in the Louvre.

This made Dr. Thomas's face even uglier.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's move up the archaeological operation."

Dr. Boyan shook hands vigorously with Jackie Chan, patted Jackie Chan's shoulder enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "I have read your research on ancient Egyptian over the years and benefited a lot from it. You have to make more efforts in this operation. How much you can gain depends on you."

Jackie Chan was made somewhat uncomfortable by Dr. Boyan's enthusiasm.

Finally, I was surrounded by a group of people from the British Museum and walked out.

From beginning to end, Dr. Boyan and his colleagues ignored the group of people from the Louvre.

Being ignored, Dr. Thomas and his group looked even uglier.

I was already in a bad mood because my plan didn't work out.

Now that this has happened, their mood has become even worse.

But the people looking at the British Museum had already left, so they had to follow suit.

Regardless, this archaeological expedition cannot be missed.

The people at the Louvre also knew that they were not invited, and they found out about this through some small tricks, so it would not be very tactful to sneak in first.

Now that we have been caught by people from the British Museum, the situation is even more embarrassing.

But so what.

Anyway, the Egyptian ruins do not belong to the British.

We are all not good people, the eldest brother doesn’t talk about the second brother.

Chapter 180 It’s natural that there is Ultraman in the pyramid, right?

The ruins discovered by the British Museum are just northwest of Aswan.

There is a lot here in Aswan.

Temples and tall obelisks from the Ptolemaic era.

In addition to Elephantine Island, continuing south along the Nile River, there is also an island called Philae, on which is the ancient Temple of Isis.

However, after the construction of the Aswan Dam, the temple was moved to Agalkai Island.

After more than ten hours of travel, Jackie Chan and his group finally arrived in Aswan.

By the time we arrived at the place, it was already very late.

The night is not suitable for archaeological activities, so everyone finally chose to stay at the Rehen Hotel in Aswan.

We will wait until tomorrow morning and be led by the locals to the newly discovered ruins.

Originally, Tang Mu didn't think too much about it and just thought it was an archaeological activity that would broaden his horizons.

After all, Tang Mu is not a professional, and perhaps Jackie Chan and others will have different feelings about this event.

But Tang Mu and Xiao Yu came here purely for the purpose of traveling and having fun.

Tang Mu estimated that once the initial novelty wore off, he and Xiaoyu would get bored.

That's exactly what happened.

The location of this new ruins is quite remote, some distance away from the banks of the Nile River.

It takes four or five hours to drive there.

Originally Tang Mu and Xiao Yu were full of expectations.

At first, I thought that this so-called relic would be a majestic building like the Temple of Philae.

The result was completely different. It was just a very small abandoned ancient building, and most of the main structure had either collapsed or was buried under the soil.

Just as Tang Mu had imagined before, he and Xiaoyu felt bored after staying at the archaeological site for a while.

Archaeology is undoubtedly a very time-consuming and labor-intensive job that requires a lot of patience.

Especially working in such a hot environment as Egypt is a torture for people.

It was also thanks to Tang Mu that he kept a dark cloud over their heads, which made them feel a little better.

People from the museums in Britain and France also benefited from this.

Based on their preliminary investigation, this group of professionals has already made a rough assessment of the ruins.

This should be a castle left over from the Mamluk era.

This place is close to the Kharji Oasis and was probably originally built as a fortress.

It was subsequently abandoned and used as a residential house, but was destroyed again decades ago and has remained abandoned ever since.

There are many ancient buildings like this in Egypt.

The reason why the British Museum and the Louvre are so interested in this site is mainly because it still contains a lot of well-preserved texts and reliefs.

These all have certain research value.

In particular, due to the lack of building materials, in many cases, ancient people would often dismantle building materials from other buildings and reuse them when building a new building.

Therefore, even some earlier ancient Egyptian stone tablets can be found in this ruins.

If Jackie Chan's research direction is correct, he can really translate ancient Egyptian.

These stone tablets with inscriptions are all the best materials for studying the history of ancient Egypt, and none of them can be missed.

In fact, it is not just ancient Egypt, but Rome also has the habit of reusing building materials.

For example, the famous Roman Colosseum.

Most of the missing part of that thing was pried away by local residents.

"Mr. Jackie Chan, could you please help me take a look at these things?"

In the castle ruins, Dr. Boyan called out to Jackie Chan.

This sound immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Everyone present knew Jackie Chan, and they were very curious whether he could really translate ancient Egyptian.

Hearing the greeting, Jackie Chan walked over without any stage fright.

Looking at the hieroglyphics carved on the wall, he said, "It should be a stone tablet left over from the Ptolemaic Dynasty during the Hellenistic period of ancient Egypt. It mainly praises the donation made to the temple by Arsinoe III, the daughter of Ptolemy III."

A group of scholars who gathered around looked at each other in confusion, not knowing whether Jackie Chan's translation was correct or not.

But nothing was said at this time.

As for Dr. Boyan and Dr. Thomas, they have done in-depth research on Jackie Chan's thesis and have their own understanding of his method of deciphering ancient Egyptian over the years.

After hearing Jackie Chan's translation, they translated it themselves and found it to be almost the same.

I suddenly felt that maybe Jackie Chan’s research direction was indeed correct.

Jackie Chan and his team are working hard over there.

Tang Mu and Xiao Yu sat on the ground outside the ruins, sighing in boredom.

The novelty has worn off for both of them now.

There is not much interest in their archaeology either.

I felt a little regretful for a moment.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have followed him out.

There's not even any cell phone signal here, let alone anything fun to do to kill time.

Now if you are in Cairo or Aswan, you can at least find something fun to do.

"Tom, I'm so bored, do you have any fun ideas?"

Xiaoyu leaned against the thick wall of the castle ruins, feeling very bored, and hoped that Tang Mu could have some good ideas.

When Tang Mu heard this, he twitched his ears.

Looking at the endless loess and sand ahead, he turned his head to look at the group of experts and scholars working behind him. I don’t know what he was thinking about, but suddenly his eyes lit up!

A bright, glowing light bulb appeared above its head.

Xiaoyu also saw the light bulb popping up above Tang Mu’s head and suddenly became happy.

"Have you got an idea?"

Tang Mu nodded happily and jumped up from the ground.

He took out a bucket and a small children's toy shovel from behind him.

"This is?"

Xiaoyu looked at the shovel and bucket handed to her by Tang Mu with curiosity, and couldn't quite understand what Tang Mu meant.

Tang Mu took out a bucket and a small shovel, and happily took Xiaoyu to an open space a hundred meters away.

He poured the water in the bucket on the ground, and when the soil became soft, Tang Mu squatted aside and shoveled the ground with a small children's shovel to shovel out all the wet soil.

The wet soil was quite plastic, so Tom just squatted there and started playing with the mud.

In a short while, he had molded a clay statue of Xiaoyu out of the mud.
