Chapter 102 The Leaves in the Coffin Room

The tomb hole is connected by a corridor, and the entire pyramid is formed through this corridor. The corridor connects the ventilation opening, the pyramid's large corridor, and the location of the Pharaoh's tomb. Because its overall architectural pattern is tapered, with blocks above it

It is made up of huge rocks weighing tens of tons. Without any support, only tunnels that can bear pressure can only be used.

Angel held a saber and drilled through the tomb hole into the corridor. He had to marvel at the ingenuity of the tomb hole. Its digging was directly connected to a wide corridor, exactly. How did the tomb robbers in the past do it? Is there any construction?

picture?

Impossible. Thousands of years have passed and there are no so-called construction drawings. This can only show one thing: tomb robbers are also a mysterious group.

Angel entered the corridor and stood still with a flashlight in her left hand, because the sight in front of her made her feel dangerous.

This is a corridor that is two meters high and wide. The top and both walls of the corridor are covered with various ancient murals. However, these murals are dilapidated due to the outside air brought in by the digging of tomb holes, but they are still in ruins.

A group of people worshiping and cultivating can be vaguely seen.

The corridor illuminated by the flashlight does not know where it leads. Even the light that reaches the front is completely absorbed by the darkness. The darkness is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that there are several human bones lying on the corridor. These should be those who entered the tomb robbery.

corpse of a tomb robber.

On these corpses were scattered some spears used on ancient battlefields. The spears were made of wood, and the metal spear points were covered with a thick layer of dust, and their original appearance was no longer visible.

The tomb robber entered the corridor to explore forward, and then was pierced through the body by the mechanisms on both sides of the corridor and died. This means that there are various ingenious mechanisms inside the pyramid. These mechanisms may be spears, boulders, or quicksand.

A trap that blocks the footsteps of all strangers.

Angel, who was in a state of nervousness, stretched out her right foot and took a step forward. She heard a slight popping sound coming from the sole of her foot, and then a stream of dust-like powder rose up from the light beam of the flashlight.

When Angel saw the powder, she immediately covered her mouth and nose to make herself stand more stable and not move her feet. What she stepped on was a piece of human bone. The hard bones had been completely corroded by long-term weathering.

These floating bone meal must not be inhaled into the lungs, because no one knows what kind of viruses and bacteria there are in the bone meal.

After the bone powder dissipated, Angel took out the gas mask she carried with her and put it on. She put it on specially before leaving to prevent some viruses that might appear in the pyramid. The vents were naturally fine, but the only thing she was afraid of was going deep inside.

Lifting her steps slightly, Angel continued to walk forward until she reached the position where there was no body, then she stopped and squatted down to carefully observe the front.

Under the illumination of a strong flashlight, the dusty corridor floor was clearly reflected in front of Angel's eyes. She leaned her whole body on the corridor floor, turned her face with the gas mask close to the ground, and then used a strong flashlight to stick it to the ground.

The ground shines forward.

Under this kind of illumination, the dust on the corridor immediately revealed different thicknesses, with one place being thicker than others, especially the subtle outlines.

These are footprints, the footprints of people walking past. Due to the accumulation of dust over the years, the places where the footprints have stepped can always be distinguished from the subtle details.

Following this method, Angel used her toes to move forward under the footprints of the former tomb robbers, gradually entering the depths of the corridor.

At this time, Dr. Neil and his team were busy in the spacious hall that had just entered the pyramid. This was an extremely rare pyramid, because no pyramid would have such a spacious hall at the entrance and exit.

Other archaeologists gave up on this pyramid after studying it again, because it was not a standard pyramid, and its construction was very rough. After some relevant historical research, they stopped caring about it, because this pyramid did not have much value.

, just a pharaoh's tomb that lasted only a few months.

There are many pyramids throughout Egypt, and only a few are famous. Most of them have been forgotten. After all, some things only need the most eye-catching works to represent them. The development of pyramid tourism is nothing more than focusing on Khufu

The Pyramid and the Sphinx in front of the tower.

"This is, this is..." Dr. Neal, who was observing the relief portraits on the wall with a magnifying glass, made an incredulous voice.

"Dr. Neil, what's wrong?" Sam asked.

"This is a pattern that has never been seen before, never before, never before!" Dr. Neil said excitedly, and then loudly ordered: "Lights, all the lights come together!"

All the strong flashlights shined on the relief on the wall, and the figures on the relief were clearly reflected.

"Doctor, there's nothing different about this." One of the archaeological team members said after taking a look, and the other team members nodded.

"No, no, no, their decorations and their expressions are definitely different." Dr. Neil excitedly used a brush to clean the dust on the reliefs so that people could see them more clearly.

"Dr. Neal." Sam looked at Dr. Neal with some sympathy and said, "Each pyramid represents a different era. How can the pyramids built over thousands of years be the same? The murals and utensils of each pyramid will be different.

In line with the era and environment we live in, after all, culture cannot stand still, so these pyramid reliefs that represent the cultural atmosphere of that time must be somewhat different."

What Sam said is true. Although there are so many pyramids in Egypt with the same structure, there are still many differences in their internal strength. This is just like the Great Wall of China. They are all Great Walls, but there are also the Great Wall of Qin, the Great Wall of Han, and the Great Wall of Ming.

The difference can be discerned in every detail.

"No, you don't understand, you really don't understand." Dr. Neal took off the magnifying glass, pointed at the spacious hall and said to everyone: "What do you think this is? Do you think like those experts that this is just a

A very crude pyramid?”

The archaeological team members did not speak, but expressed their views through silence.

"No, it is not a rough pyramid, but it has its own meaning. I still don't know what the meaning is." Dr. Neal frowned, waved his hand and said, "Continue working, just give me enough light."

Already."

The archaeological team continued their work and did not miss any corner.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already noon. The archaeological team had basically completed the work in the hall and turned to a wide corridor that went deep into the center.

According to the normal pyramid structure, such a main corridor will form an upward slope connected to the main tomb, which contains the pharaoh's coffin. There will be a branch in the upward corridor, and the branch corridor will connect to the queen's coffin. The two are not together.

. Of course, there are also people who are together. It mainly depends on factors such as the wishes and taboos of the Pharaoh at that time.

"The tomb should have been emptied long ago. Some of the valuable things were stolen by tomb robbers, and some were collected by the Egyptian cultural relics unit." An archaeological team member said, and then pointed to the corridor marked with the establishment of the Egyptian archaeological unit and said: "

But these departments gave up on this pyramid, we'd better go in and have a look, maybe there will be some surprises."

"Yes, Hanks is right." Dr. Neal nodded and said loudly to the archaeological team: "Boys, cheer up, now we are going to enter the Pharaoh's coffin."

These archaeological team members are always very excited about unknown things, even though they were still a little scared when they came in. But nothing happened, so they put their fear aside and turned to this pyramid that they had never touched before.

A strong interest arose. Even Sam was no exception to this, but he vaguely felt that there was something really different about this pyramid because he believed in Dr. Neil.

Except for the three people who stayed behind, the rest of the group walked toward the main corridor carrying rifles, heading all the way to the Pharaoh's Tomb at the end of the corridor.

As for Angel at this time, she had already reached the end of the corridor and was standing in the large coffin at the end.

This coffin chamber is about five meters high, and is very spacious on both sides. However, there is no coffin inside, and there is not even a trace of the coffin being stored.

There are some fragments of utensils on the ground. From these fragments, it can be determined that there must have been something here in the past, and then the tomb robbers looted everything.

How could there be no trace of the coffin in the coffin that was supposed to be the coffin chamber? Angel frowned and walked gently in the center of the coffin chamber to think about this problem.

At this moment, a smell that couldn't be described as fishy or foul smelled into her nostrils, accompanied by the sound of huffing and puffing.

In an instant, Angel pulled out the gun with her left hand like lightning, but she didn't know where to point the gun because the sound seemed to fill the coffin chamber.

She raised her head to look for the source of the sound, and the flashlight in her mouth illuminated the relief mural in front of her. A cold feeling rushed from the soles of Angel's feet to the top of her head, and her spine tingled. She saw a pair of eyes, a pair of fierce and bright eyes.

Eye.

The pistol was pointed at the glowing eyes without hesitation, and all the muscles in Angel's body were tense, ready to dodge at any time.

But there was no movement in the glowing eyes facing the muzzle, still emitting a fierce light.

Angel relaxed a little, and she realized that the glowing eyes were just two gems, which reflected the light source when they encountered the light of the flashlight.

After the tension, the strange smell disappeared, as did the huffing and puffing sounds. It seemed as if nothing had happened, and it seemed as if it was just an illusion.

Angel breathed a sigh of relief and put away the gun. He took the flashlight from his mouth with his left hand and shined it at the thing in front of him that was shining with fierce light. This was a huge relief, and the appearance of the relief was surprisingly similar to the Sphinx.

, the difference is that there is a very complex rune on the head of this sphinx, and there is a simple box on the half-extended head.

This box was square and covered with a layer of dust. It seemed to be a very important thing.

Angel stood there and thought for a while, and finally walked forward and reached for the box on top of the Sphinx.

However, she did not remove the box from above, but opened it very carefully with two fingers. This was done because ancient Egypt had such a gravity trap: a very precious thing was placed on a platform.

When it is lowered, the force exerted by the platform will disappear, and then the mechanism will collapse.

The box was opened by Angel, and under the light, what was reflected in her eyes was a leaf, a leaf that was full of green life.

"Ah!" Angel exclaimed, because this leaf is just like the leaf described by Zhao Ziyang!

With the exclamation, the box was touched to the ground by Angel's hand, and the leaves also fell to the ground. However, the leaf began to wither quickly as soon as it touched the ground, withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With a "boom", the ground under Angel's feet suddenly parted to both sides, leaving her with no time to react and she fell.
Chapter completed!
