Stealing Game

Chapter 113 The Extinct Truth

The moon is going out?
"Speaking of which, this temple can only appear when the moon is full, right?" At this time, everyone has gathered together following the voice, and Arno stood in the crowd and asked carefully: "What if we didn't go out before the full moon?" ?”

"It is said that this temple will only appear on the night of the full moon every 60 years. Who knows that it will not be able to get out after the full moon." Stephanie has no sense of crisis at all, and even said happily: "I don't mind staying young forever, but you don't want to spend it all the time?"

After a moment of silence, Boothwell asked, "Who can see the time?"

I have long lost the concept of time, and the ordinary watch is no longer gone.Some people don't know why they brought an atomic clock.The problem is, the infallible atomic clock shows that only a dozen minutes have passed since we came down.Even if Teacher Bai didn't have to say it, everyone would think it was nonsense.

Either everyone fell into a fantasy together, and the previous experiences were all hallucinations, or the atomic clock was wrong.

It can't be that time stands still here.But Stephanie was the one Patrick shot at him for saying "everything is constant, no one gets eternity from time without paying" and she shot Jacqueline because of that The French, who love ancient Egypt, want to stop "gods from being born among us".And Stephanie just said that she can "stay young forever" here instead of being trapped to death?
After the deaths of Jacqueline and Patrick, there was a growing feeling that things were no longer within the confines of ancient Egypt.

Carl's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"There is no time to waste. If the sun comes out and we haven't gone out, will we be locked up here for 60 years?" After getting the ore from Atlantis, Carl was eager to try, and showed more enthusiasm for exploration. Big enthusiasm.

Standing still, they couldn't discuss why. Since they couldn't see each other, they kept a tight formation and came to the deepest part of the room together.

This time Stephanie is guarded by the long-haired man who first explored this space. She absolutely cannot continue to act with us.Stephanie just sneered at this.

I observed carefully on the way, but no one responded to Li Yuan's special features, as if they couldn't see them at all.If it wasn't for these people hiding it too well, then other than me, Li Yuan and the other four would really be no different in the eyes of others.

So the question is, why can I see them?Before I could figure out why, the large group stopped, and everyone could see each other again from some unknown time.

Four jars taller than a person stood at the end of the chaos, because they were so tall that at first glance they thought they were vertical coffins.

At a glance I could see that these were urns for the viscera of mummies.Horus had four sons responsible for protecting the entrails of the dead, depicted as gods with the heads of a man, a baboon, a jackal, and a vulture.The heads of the four sons are now on top of the four jars.

However, to say that this is the burial urn for the internal organs of the deceased, how big is the corpse in proportion to need such a large jar to hold his liver, lungs, intestines and stomach?Moreover, those jars were made of bronze, and if they really contained internal organs, they would be unusable.

"What are these?" Arno patted the outer wall of one of the jackal-head jars.

"This is Domteff, the one who guards the stomach," I told him. "The ancient Egyptians believed that memories were stored in their internal organs, and they would be used when they were resurrected, so they would store them carefully. However, the same watery brains would be thrown away directly. Judging from the production process and the surrounding murals , this should be something from the New Kingdom period.”

Yano nodded, and suddenly he withdrew his hand as if startled.I was frightened by his surprise, and everyone also looked over.

"I just felt something hit me here."

Everyone looked at the four jars vigilantly.What on earth is in it, that it can still move after being sealed in a jar from the Bronze Age?
"Is it possible that it is really for resurrection?"

"Just look at it and you'll find out."

Li Yuan and Carl climbed to the side of Dom Taifu.The rest of the people had their weapons ready and were ready to take a shuttle at any time, but the stomach of the deceased didn't make any more noises during this period.

The jar is sealed, and it should have been poured with a layer of copper paste after casting.Even if Osiris was locked inside, he would have to suffocate to death.

After returning to the ground, Li Yuan put down his sleeves and told me that a Benu bird was drawn on the right eye of the jackal head.At the same time, Karl beckoned his subordinates to surround Domteff, and was about to dig a hole in the jar.

I hurriedly stopped them: "Let's not talk about whether there are living things in it, even if it is really old internal organs, it will pollute the air if it is released."

As I said that, I quietly glanced at Yano.Those who dare to seek wealth and danger in the flames of war at a young age will never be frightened by their own illusions.There must be something weird about that jar.

"Then shall we wait for this thing to show us the way after it's revived?" Carl said angrily.

Li Yuan knocked on the jar wall. "Since it is used for resurrection, then just find the real master and ask him directly."

But where is the Lord?
If you look carefully, the books of the dead are engraved on the outer walls of these jars.But because it has been recast, the inscriptions of the funeral text have been filled in, and only those who can see it can barely recognize it.With my limited knowledge of ancient Egyptian and the various versions of the Book of the Dead I have seen, although I cannot guarantee that I can fully translate the experience of the dead depicted on these jars in the underworld, I can be sure that this place is a tomb.And these big and outrageous bronze jars should indeed be containers for the internal organs of the deceased.

Only the dead were not pharaohs, but gods.

The first mummy in ancient Egypt was Osiris, the god of the underworld, so he also symbolized resurrection.The Bennu bird in the jackal's right eye also suggests resurrection from the dead.The four coffin-sized burial urns in front of us corresponded to the bloodlines of the four of us who could make sacrifices.

Could it be possible to use Li Yuan and the others as sacrifices to resurrect an ancient Egyptian god?If this is the case, there must be a decent altar.

Sure enough, an altar was found on the wall behind the four jars.It's just that this altar does not conform to the shape of ancient Egypt, but it is embedded in the wall, and even only half of it is exposed on the ground, as if it wanted to be invisible to others.

I looked back at the countless bronze statues of gods and pharaohs I passed by, as well as these four heavy bronzes that had never appeared in ancient Egypt.The regulation of this temple is so generous that another Maat temple was built on our archaeological site, just to cover up the Horus temple recorded here.The move could not have been made to ignore it.

These four burial urns have all been recast, and so much work has been spent to cover up the inscriptions on them, instead of chiseling them out.You must know that the ancient Egyptians directly destroyed the statues and cleared the records of the unloved pharaohs Akhenaten and Hatshepsut.So how important are the things that were once enshrined here, so that the ancient Egyptians could not make up their minds to destroy them if they wanted to erase them.

And whatever the Pharaoh ordered to be covered up at the time, there was wind of it.It was considered a sacred place by the ancient Egyptians, at least for a long time.The ruins where Li Yuan and I were washed up by quicksand the night before were once a village of worshipers.Even if the pharaoh's rule is over and that era passes, people will still gather in that village, waiting for the temple to appear, and worshiping the holy lake if it doesn't appear.But later, because of the change of dynasty and successive years of wars, this place was gradually forgotten.

So under what circumstances did the ancient Egyptians give up, or in other words, blockade here.As a shrine but lost the pilgrims.

Perhaps the answer will be known soon.

Everyone is waiting for me to speak.After losing Jacqueline and Patrick, I'm the only ancient Egypt "scholar" left.But in fact, everyone is like a bright mirror in their hearts, and there is only one thing they can do.

I looked at the altar that was half buried in the soil but remained unmoved.

Judging from the several known "sacrifices", this weird ancient Egyptian altar's favorite is Li Yuan's blood, followed by Alex and Laila, and Hassan is more likely to join forces.The others were not so much waiting for me to point out what to do next, but they were actually waiting for Li Yuan's attitude.

Li Yuan looked at me, the support and comfort in his eyes were obvious.Just as I was having a quick psychological struggle, Kawai Isan said: "Dr. Wang, please use mine for the sacrifice!" He also eagerly sent his hand to me.

I looked at the thin metal strip in Kawaii-san's hand in surprise, and then at the glasses that were tangled together and lying miserably on the bridge of his nose.With this person, the glasses legs and nose pads were removed.

"I'm sorry, I really don't have any metal objects on my body, but I still owe God a sacrifice on it, can you see these things?"

I silently held up the pile of metal parts and stood at the base of the wall with Li Yuan, took a deep breath, and nodded to him.Li Yuan smiled, squatted down in front of the altar, and cut his palm again for the umpteenth time.

Then let's see what the dusty truth is.
