Chapter 105 Heading towards the Valley of the Kings and entering the Tomb of the Pharaoh "Shuangliu, you guessed wrong. At least there is still a group of people protecting the coffins of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, even if these people are no longer the real tomb-guarding clan."
"There is someone who will help us in the Valley of the Kings where we are going today. That person was once a descendant of the Tomb Guarding Clan."
Professor Elson Boot turned his head and looked in the direction of Muto Sugoroku, denied his statement, corrected the error in his opinion, and said that the tomb-guarding clan still left descendants.
In the past few days, I finally found a way to the real valley where the royal family rests. The person who claims to be a descendant of the tomb-keeper family is the guide Professor Butt found.
"Oh, really."
"Then I want to see what the legendary tomb-guarding clan looks like?"
After Muto Shuangroku was told this by Professor Elson Bute, he now became quite curious about the legendary tomb-keeper clan and wanted to see what the legendary tomb-keeper clan looked like.
The two people rode horses and talked while walking, heading towards the Valley of the Kings. They wanted to arrive before dawn, which was the best time to go to the Valley where the real royal family rested.
What the two of them didn't know was that there was already a group of people behind them, following them all the way.
The Valley of the Kings is located seven kilometers on the west bank of the Nile, under the cliff west of Thebes. It is located in a deserted canyon not far from the ruins of Thebes, the ancient Egyptian capital in the desert.
Under the cliff is an extremely majestic tomb group, where the most noble people in Egypt rest. There are about 60 imperial tombs among them.
Starting from the 17th Dynasty, various considerations were taken to reduce the possibility of the tomb being stolen and to make it easier to manage.
At that time, the pharaohs abandoned the pyramid tomb method that had lasted for more than 1000 years and began to choose to build tombs in the form of digging holes in the mountains.
As a result, a valley behind Dal Bahri west of Thebes became the first choice of the Pharaoh at that on the special natural barrier and geographical environment, this valley can well preserve the remains and make them less susceptible to decay. At the same time, it is located in a remote location, which met the safety requirements of the Pharaoh at that time.
From that time until the 20th Dynasty, pharaohs of all generations chose to build their tombs , there were more and more imperial tombs, so this valley was called the Valley of the Kings by later generations.
The Valley of the Kings is divided into two parts, the East Valley and the West , royal tombs are concentrated in the east valley, while the west valley is dominated by noble tomb of the late king, although not gorgeous, is still built in the east valley.
And the royal tomb that Muto Sugoroku and Professor Bute went to today was extremely special even in the Valley of the Kings where there are many tombs of emperors.
This royal tomb from the Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt will only be opened at specific times at night, and if you want to enter the tomb, you must obtain permission from the family of tombkeepers who have guarded the Valley of the Kings in Egypt for generations. Only in this way can the tomb be opened. The sealed stone door.
But even after passing the level of the tomb-keeper clan, the road ahead is not going to be smooth the tomb guards can do to help is to open the door, and they will have to deal with many traps later on.
And this is the reason why Professor Elson Bute insisted on coming with Sugoroku Muto. In order to open the Tomb of the King, Professor Elson Bute needed a capable and capable man to help him.
The appearance of Muto Shuangroku perfectly matched his plan. On the night when he met Muto Shuangroku in Thebes, Professor Bute had already contacted the family of tombkeepers who guarded the royal tomb.
"finally reached!"
Looking at the Valley of the Kings in front of him, Professor Elson Butt was extremely excited, and the person he was waiting for was not far away. A man wearing a dark black robe had already been waiting at the bottom of the Valley of the Kings.
When the bright moon rises to the highest point of the pyramid, it is the best time to open the tombs of the eighteenth dynasty kings.
"Excuse me." Professor Elson Bute nodded to the man in dark black robes and took the package and lantern from his hand.
The tomb guard took out a tin staff from his arms. The golden staff was engraved with the Eye of Horus, which symbolizes royal he softly recited a spell, the originally closed stone door of the king's tomb slowly opened.
Seeing this scene, Muto Shuangliu was a little surprised and a little dazed. He always felt that everything in front of him was unusually familiar and friendly.
Suddenly, the tombkeeper bowed in the direction of Muto Sugoroku for some unknown reason, and then quietly disappeared into the night, very neatly.
"Shuangliu, now it's time for us to show off our skills. The person who provided me with information told me that in the tomb of the unknown pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, there is a road leading to the underworld."
"As long as we can find that road, we can find the real valley where the royal family rests, and you can also find the dark game hidden in it."
As soon as he talked about these things, Professor Elson Butt became extremely excited. His long-term efforts were finally coming to fruition, and his dream could finally come true.
"Is the news reliable?"
Muto Shuangroku ignored Professor Bute's excitement. He had a cigarette in his mouth. What he cared about was the authenticity of the intelligence.
"Of course it's reliable! Let's go quickly!"
Professor Bute didn't pay attention to Muto Shuangroku's caution. After groping for the mechanism, he pushed one of the stone slabs away, revealing a hidden passage leading deep into the king's tomb.
Then Professor Bute moved towards the depths of the King's Tomb under the light of the torch. Seeing Professor Elson Bute slowly walking into the King's Tomb, Muto Shuangroku had no choice but to put aside his doubts and immediately followed him inside. Prevent Professor Bute from being injured by hidden mechanisms.
When both people entered the king's tomb, the originally open stone door suddenly closed. The only sound of the two people's breathing in the passage corresponded to the flickering firelight. The swaying shadow of the firelight left flickering traces on the wall.
Deep in the mud-sealed passage in the king's tomb, two people were slowly exquisitely carved murals on the corridor focus on describing the glory and achievements of the tomb owner.
Unlike the majestic interior of the pyramid, which is considered one of the seven wonders of the world, the tombs in the Valley of the Kings focus more on the exquisiteness of the design, as if not to waste every stone slab here.
Large or small murals are almost everywhere in the field of vision. The reddish-brown paint looks like flowing blood under the firelight. The traces of color left by this paint can be seen almost everywhere you look.
"Although I haven't been to many Egyptian tombs, this is the first time I've seen one with carvings on the floor! What kind of monarch was this Pharaoh? There are so many people praising him. The mural!"
Professor Elson Bute, who was leading the way with a torch, suddenly bent down, lying on the ground and carefully studying the patterns on the floor. Looking at these wonderful patterns that appeared every few steps, Professor Bute had a look on his face. said incredulously.
In this place where the dead rest, the breathing sounds of life can be heard.
————————We pray to the deceased that you may sleep peacefully.
Whoever disturbs the Pharaoh's sleep, death will spread its wings and descend on his head.
Intruders from the outside who want mantises to hunt cicadas are also ready!
