"Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
Abuli pushed Beni.
He also planned to achieve some results before his tutor came, so as to gain some impression points in front of his tutor.
It was because of his understanding of Abuli's character that Dr. Boyan chose to let Abuli come to find Hamunata.
After entering the ancient tomb, I found it very dark inside.
There are many mirrors next to it, which can illuminate the interior of Hamunaptra by refracting sunlight.
But this method is not sustainable and will become useless after a while as the sun moves.
So based on their previous archaeological experience, they also brought lighting tools and generators with them.
A group of people began to install lights in Hamunaptra, and bundles of wires were spread all over the ground.
As the generator outside started running.
With the sound of "click, click", the lights were turned on one by one.
The gloom in Hamunata was immediately dispelled.
Now that there was lighting, everyone naturally started working.
Their work is progressing quite quickly.
In other words, some things are placed not far from the entrance, and they can be the first to discover them.
So, while Dr. Boyan and the others were still on the road.
After a thorough search, this group of people have gained a lot.
With everyone's efforts, some of the things found inside were initially pulled out.
A black book, a small box, a large chest, and five canopic bottles, or rather, five canopic jars.
The largest object among them was a coffin.
The coffin was very heavy, and the group used various means, including dragging it, to finally pull it out of Hamunaptra and place it in the camp outside.
Hamunaptra is huge, and there are still many places that we haven’t explored yet.
But these findings alone are enough to make them excited.
Especially the black book.
Abuliko still remembers that his mentor, Dr. Boyan, had reminded him many times that their goal was to find this book.
Although I don’t know what’s so magical about this book that makes my mentor care so much about it.
But compared to the black book, Abuli was more interested in the coffin.
"Come and help us open the coffin."
Abuli called out and several people came over immediately.
Everyone tried hard, but the coffin remained motionless and could not be pried open.
Since brute force doesn’t work, Abuli can only use his wits to defeat the enemy.
He lay on the coffin and examined it carefully for a while.
He suddenly made a discovery.
There is a sun-like concave shape on the coffin lid.
This pattern is also in the black book.
I remember Dr. Boyan once said that Hamunatta's book is locked and requires a key to open it.
Abuli guessed that the coffin should also be locked.
That being the case.
Abuli took the small octagonal box found in the underground palace and twisted it lightly, and the box popped open instantly.
Its shape fits perfectly into the depression on the coffin.
Seeing this, Abuli didn't think twice and just pushed the box up and twisted it hard!
With a "click", the coffin opened.
"Roar--!"
But as soon as the coffin was opened, the mummy inside suddenly bounced up like a spring and even let out an extremely terrifying roar!
It was broad daylight, but suddenly a strange wind blew around.
The high temperature of nearly 40 degrees dropped instantly.
Everyone felt a distinct chill.
"what happened!"
Abuli and others were so frightened that they took two steps back.
The timid Penny hid far away, his lips trembling.
When he came here before, he felt that something was wrong.
Now the feeling is even stronger.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a mummy!"
Abuli leaned over to take a look, and after seeing clearly the situation inside the coffin, he immediately shouted loudly.
Hearing this, everyone approached tentatively.
They found that there was indeed only a mummy inside.
I just don't know why it suddenly bounced up just now.
Now it lay back down again.
Mummies are quite common among people.
As we all know, mummies are one of the ten most valuable treasures of the British Museum.
Anyway, the title of the British Stolen Goods Museum is not unfair to them at all.
At first, everyone was just shocked by the sudden situation.
After confirming that the mummies in the museum were not moving, everyone became much braver.
In the early days, Europeans were very fond of mummies.
They not only transported the mummies back for collection, but also ground a large number of them into powder and ate them.
I have to say that the Europeans' operations are very consistent with their characteristics.
At that time, mummies were a hot commodity in Europe.
At one point, it was sold out.
They firmly believe that eating mummies can cure diseases and even prolong life.
Of course, there are definitely fewer people in modern society who can still think this way.
But most Europeans do not shy away from death.
The mummy was their old friend again, and at this time they no longer had any fear in them.
They lay beside the coffin and carefully looked at the mummy in front of them.
Abuli took a look and suddenly reached out and poked the mummy's body. He frowned and said, "Something is not right."
"What's wrong?"
A companion asked.
"We have all seen many mummies, but have you ever seen such a fresh mummy?"
After hearing what Abuli said, everyone realized something was wrong.
The so-called mummy is an artificial dried corpse.
The craftsmanship of its production and the long time between ancient Egypt and the modern times eliminate the possibility of the existence of such a fresh corpse.
Egyptian mummies are arguably the most famous mummies in the world.
The ancient Egyptians believed that humans have souls.
So when an important person dies, people will make him or her into a mummy to keep the body intact and wait for the return of the soul one day to achieve the purpose of resurrection.
The mummification process is also quite complicated.
The ancient Egyptians would remove the brain of the deceased from the nasal cavity and the internal organs from a small incision in the abdomen and store them in funeral urns for permanent preservation.
The body was then wrapped in 180 kilograms of a salt mixture called natron, which acts as a preservative to keep the body dry and reduce odor.
They also placed an amulet over the heart, the only internal organ left, before wrapping the mummy in fine linen and covering it with prayers.
In addition to amulets of various styles.
One of them is the scarab, the target of Jackie Chan’s trip!
If it were an ordinary world, the scarab would be just a simple dung beetle.
The ancient Egyptians believed that the sun was pushed by a giant scarab, like a dung ball, rising in the east and setting in the west.
Therefore, the scarab became the messenger of communication between humans and the sun god Amon.
The ancient Egyptians believed that by placing a corpse covered with scarabs inside the body of the deceased, the scarabs would protect the deceased's soul from inspection by the underworld and allow it to pass safely into the other world.
They have discovered many similar scarab amulets.
It’s just the situation right now…
Abuli's face looked a little solemn.
He reached into the coffin and picked up a dried-up black beetle corpse.
This thing looks a bit like a dung beetle, but it is very different.
This black beetle has a pair of ferocious-looking mouthparts.
Abuli touched it lightly with his hand and was pierced by the sharp mouthparts and blood came out.
Looking at his bleeding fingers and then at the densely packed scarab corpses in the coffin in front of him, Abuli's mood became more and more solemn.
Although the scarab has the effect of a talisman.
But they had never seen real insects being buried with people.
And there are so many bugs!
"Abuli, look at this!"
Suddenly someone called out and motioned Abuli to go over and take a look.
Upon hearing this, Abuli walked around the sarcophagus in front of him and went to his companion.
What his companions asked him to see was not something else but the lid of the sarcophagus that they had just pried open.
There were several sharp scratches on the inside of the coffin lid.
There was also a line of deep hieroglyphic writing scratched by fingernails.
As soon as he saw these things, Abuli took a deep breath of Turkish kebab.
The bad feeling in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Abuli looked at the situation inside the museum and then looked at the coffin lid.
As if he remembered something, he turned the coffin lid over again.
Turn the lid of the human-shaped coffin toward you.
I was so excited just now that I didn't notice it. Abuli just discovered it now.
The holy law of this coffin was actually chiseled off.
This means that the people in the museum will be cursed not only in this life, but also in the next life.
Then he remembered that they had dug out this coffin from under the feet of the stone statue of Anubis, the god of death.
Those who were buried at the feet of Anubis were either royals or extremely evil.
