Part 1 The Curse of Cairo Chapter 7 The Tomb Robber's Skull


"Come out."

Elson picked up the gun, slowly approached a very thick stone pillar, and suddenly walked around behind the pillar, but there was nothing.

"Don't be too nervous."

Qin Ge carefully walked around from the other side of the pillar.

"There can't be anyone here.

Maybe you are too nervous."

"I hope so."

Elson locked the safety, "However, I think it is better to work in pairs.

I feel something is not quite right."

"Okay, I'll team up with you."

Old Liu Tou agreed with Elson's opinion.

Based on his past experience, he also felt that there was something weird about this ancient city.

"Girl, Mr.

Qin will give it to you."

"Mr.

Liu, you seem to have some misunderstandings with Professor Qin."

Elson put the gun behind his back and followed Old Liu Tou deeper into the ancient city.

Judging from the exposed part of the sand, the overall size of this ancient city is about the size of a dozen football fields.

At that time, it was definitely at the capital level.

All the exposed buildings were relatively grand, and the urban layout was also relatively large.

It is loose and the functional divisions are also very clear.

Judging from some architectural remains, the exposed part is probably a market.

It is not difficult to see from the size of the market that the scale of this city when it was prosperous was not smaller than Fustad Cairo at that time, and even Even bigger.

I don’t know the reason for abandoning such a city and building a temple to commemorate it.

In Liu Dan's opinion, it might be due to some unknown infectious disease or natural disaster.

But Qin Ge disagrees with this view.

Although natural disasters can explain the temple in front of the city, firstly, this magnificent ancient city does not look like it has suffered a natural disaster.

Secondly, if there is a natural disaster, people are likely to wait.

After the natural disaster, we moved back.

Judging from the map, the ruins of this city can be said to be very scientific.

The distance between it and the Nile River is exactly the distance that floods cannot reach, so the possibility of floods can be ruled out.

Moreover, after more than three thousand years, the city has not been completely submerged by the desert, so the possibility of facing the threat of desertification like Loulan can basically be ruled out.

If it is a plague, although it can explain why the city is deserted, it is impossible for the Egyptians Too stupid to tell the difference between a disease and a curse.

In Qin Ge's opinion, the possibility of war is greater, but it still cannot explain the temple in front of the city.

The only thing that can possibly explain everything is that the entire city has been cursed.

"Is it really a curse?"

Qin Ge now believes in so-called supernatural phenomena.

"It shouldn't be" Liu Dan was also thinking while searching.

"The Curse of the Pharaoh is not that vicious."

The ancient Egyptians loved and respected life very much.

The emperors of ancient Egypt were very kind to their subjects.

Even the slaves and workers who built the pyramids would receive good food and medical treatment.

The latest research shows that The royal family would also pay them wages regularly and would only disturb the pharaoh's rest.

Only people will be cursed by the pharaoh.

These curses are only for those who enter the tomb.

It is impossible for a pharaoh to curse a city for no reason, and not every pharaoh will curse others, because according to some records, the pharaoh's curses are performed by monks or wizards.

Yes, the Pharaoh himself did not have the ability to curse others.

"Then do you think it's possible that the wizard put a curse on this city?"

Although Qin Ge is also an archaeologist, he doesn't know much about the history of Egypt.

"It's impossible.

The curse in Egypt is not as powerful as the legend says.

It is difficult to curse one person, let alone an entire city.

If there is such a person, the Pharaoh will not tolerate his existence."

While he was discussing, the sound of the metal detector in his hand suddenly accelerated.

What Qin Ge was holding this time was the most advanced military metal detector at the time, with a detection radius of fifteen meters and a detection depth of nearly three meters.

One of the detectors was already buried in the sand.

There seemed to be something going on in half the house.

"Go in and take a look."

Qin Ge pulled out his pistol, lowered his head and entered the house.

This seems to be a residence of a nobleman.

The room is large, the roof is gone, and the interior is empty--at least the part exposed to the sand.

There seem to be traces of carvings on the wall, but they are completely unrecognizable.

In this The metal detector beeped the loudest at the center of the room, and it seemed like something was buried in the middle.

"Professor Qin, it seems a little strange here."

Liu Dan walked into the room and kept looking around.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Ge also felt a little strange, but Liu Dan couldn't tell what was wrong.

"This place seems to have been dug up recently.

I don't know if it was done by Sun Ting and the others."

With many years of Egyptian archaeological experience, Liu Dan found that the sand in the middle of the house was obviously lower than the surrounding areas.

Although Sun Ting's accident has been over for a month now, It has been many months, but the wind and sand here are not severe, so some traces can still be seen.

"It's very possible why they dug here."

Qin Ge took out a folding shovel from his back and started digging sand.

After digging a few times, he hit something hard.

"This is a temple."

Qin Ge put down the shovel and started digging with his hands.

Gradually, an iron box appeared in front of the two of them.

It was about the same size as an electric oven, but very heavy.

"This ancient Egyptian box must have belonged to a noble family.

When Arango was about to be destroyed, iron smelting had just been introduced to Egypt, and there were not many domestic iron ores in Egypt at that time, so the value of iron was almost the same as gold.

With Such a big iron box, this family is very rich A nobleman, but I don’t know why he left such a valuable iron box here.”

Liu Dan carefully observed the pattern on the outside of the iron box, “This box doesn’t seem to be completely made of iron.

There seems to be some mysterious anti-corrosion layer on the outside.

It’s a miracle that there is no corrosion after more than three thousand years.”

"What's engraved on the outside of the box?"

Qin Ge asked.

"Osiris, this is the evil god in ancient Egyptian mythology.

Legend has it that if the pharaoh's soul fails to fly to the sky through the gaps in the pyramid, his mummy will become this evil god."

Liu Dan took out a magnifying glass and looked carefully Looking at the pattern on the outside of the box, "Osiris is leading his army in massacre.

The killing method is very strange, as if the captives are forced to drink some kind of poison, and then the captives will lose their nature and become slaves of Osiris.

These powerful people Infinite, and" Liu Dan's eyes widened, "and there is no shadow."

"There is no shadow."

Qin Ge also came up, "Axun, we discovered something.

Please come to us and head northeast from where we came in."

"We also discovered something important," Elson's voice came from the intercom, "We discovered a passage leading underground."

"It leads to the underground."

Qin Ge frowned, "We found an iron box.

The contents on the surface of the box seem to be related to Arango's curse.

You guys come here first.

Let's go down that passage together."

"How about we open it first?"

Liu Dan said.

"If it doesn't work, let Mr.

Liu see if it can be opened first."

After what happened last time, Qin Ge also believed it.

He thought it would be better to ask Mr.

Liu to confirm this kind of thing first.

About ten minutes later, Old Liu Tou and Elson trotted in the door.

"Nothing seems to be wrong."

Old Liu Tou took the compass and looked at it for a long time.

"This box is made of iron.

Iron cannot penetrate yin and yang, so I am not sure whether there is any danger in it."

"I'll open it, everyone, stand back."

Elson stepped forward to open the box.

"Wait a minute."

Old Liu Tou came up to Elson, grabbed a handful of copper coins and arranged a strange pattern on the ground.

He then took out a talisman from his cloth pocket and put it in Elson's waist.

"I don't know if it will work." , stand in this circle and open the box.

Let’s retreat without our feet coming out of the circle.

"Later," Old Liu Tou said, he and Qin Ge Liu Dan exited the house, and drew another line on the ground at the door, "The sun rises in the east, with great light.

Five soldiers guard the court, and they are as anxious as the law for my king."

He pulled out the dragon scale dagger and stuck it in the middle of the door.

"The one next to Brother Ai is called the Two Realms Talisman, and the one at the door is called the Dingmen Formation.

Even if there are those things in the box, it shouldn't be able to hurt Brother Ai.

He can't even get out of this room," Old Liu Tou said, "But this Maoshan Formation, I don’t know whether it will work against Egypt.”

"What on earth is that thing you are referring to?"

Liu Dan was so frightened that she was trembling as she spoke.

Even though she was an archaeologist, she was most afraid of those supernatural things.

"What else can there be?"

Old Liu Dan was also surprised, thinking that after struggling for so long, this little girl didn't even understand who her opponent was.

But as soon as these words came out, Liu Dan collapsed completely.

Elson knelt down, first took out his goggles and gas mask, and then put on rubber gloves to prevent poison in the box.

Then he began to check whether there were any special mechanisms around the iron box.

After making sure that there was no danger outside the box, he inserted the tip of the folding crowbar into the seam of the box.

With a bang, the box was pried open.

Inside the box, there was a dead man's skull and a roll of sheepskin.

A piece of sheepskin was missing.

Judging from the shape, it was the piece Sun Ting took.

It was certain that Sun Ting had opened the box.

"There seems to be no problem," Elson shouted to the person outside the door, "Sun Ting has opened this box."

"It's really no problem."

Old Liu Tou looked at the compass and had no reaction.

"Everyone, let's go in" "Oh my God" Liu Dan picked up the sheepskin, "This hero is a tomb robber" "How do you know?"

Qin Ge asked.

"This is called scientific research," Old Liu Tou teased Liu Dan with a playful smile, "This is not tomb robbing, it is purely for research."

"This sheepskin records the internal structures of no less than fifteen pyramids.

It also records what items were stolen from each pyramid."

Liu Dan glanced at Old Liu Tou, his face flushed with anger, "This belongs to Khufu. , this is Jedkara’s, my God, he even visited Tutankhamun’s pyramid, this is Khafre’s.”

"What's wrong?"

Qin Ge frowned.

"What Sun Ting tore off was also a diagram of the internal structure of Khafre's Pyramid.

There is also a diagram on this sheepskin.

Why did this tomb robber draw the structure of Khafre's Pyramid twice?

And why did Sun Ting tear away one of them?"

Liu Dan flashed his forehead.

The question mark said, "Hurry up and show me the sheepskin in Sun Ting's bag."

Elson took out the sheepskin map Sun Ting was wearing from his bag and handed it to Liu Dan.

"Oh my God" Liu Dan took a breath, his eyes widened, "Unbelievable":
