Now the three creatures were sitting at the entrance of the museum, sorting out the things Stan and Aha had brought back.
Mingyue first held up an ancient pottery, on which were painted scenes of life and religious rituals of the desert people.
Then there were a few crystal bottles. These crystal bottles were so exquisite that Mingyue's eyes lit up.
These bottles are rich in color, most commonly dark blue, opaque or transparent, decorated with zigzag stripes in blue, white or yellow. The bottle is slender and teardrop-shaped, with smooth and natural lines. It is wide at the bottom and gradually narrows upwards to form an elegant curve at the neck.
The sides of the bottle are intricately carved with lotus patterns and hieroglyphs, which appear to dance in the crystal when the light hits them. A thin ribbon woven from gold thread wraps around the neck of the bottle, studded with tiny crystal beads that shimmer and add a touch of vibrant beauty.
When Mingyue picked up these crystal bottles, she could also smell the faint fragrance of lotus and myrrh emanating from them.
Ah Ha took a look and said, "This is a perfume bottle! I have collected a lot of them. You can pick a few that you like and use them for yourself."
Mingyue shook her head and thought that such beautiful and exquisite things would be better displayed for appreciation.
Ah Ha picked up a pharaoh mask from the pile of things on the ground and touched it with nostalgia.
Stan picked up a clay pot filled with sand and prepared to pour it out.
Ah Ha suddenly said, "Oh no, brother, wait a minute..."
But at this time Stan had already turned the jar upside down. As the sand poured out, a cloud of dust flew up, and along with the sand, a pile of messy bones also poured out of the jar. The moment they left the jar, they seemed to be triggered by some magic and quickly returned to their normal size.
Mingyue and the others were caught off guard and half of their bodies were buried by the surging sand and bones.
Sand covered their legs and bones lay scattered around them, adding to the chaos of the unexpected scene.
Mingyue's gaze fell on the huge dinosaur skull next to her face, and she couldn't help but complain, "There are dinosaur bones in hell?!"
Ah Ha nimbly emerged from the sand. "Oh, I forgot to tell you I put the bones in that jar. These aren't dinosaur bones, they're from a giant dragon. They're my treasured possession!"
Stan lifted the dragon's skull and opened its mouth wide, letting the bones roar at him. Then he opened his mouth wide and roared at the dragon.
Mingyue cast a levitation spell on herself, allowing herself to float up from the sand pile.
She pointed to a white bandage sticking out of the sand. "What is this?"
Ah Ha took a look and immediately hugged the bandage in his arms, "Oh! It's my change of clothes! It's here! I thought it disappeared in the desert. Don't look at me as a mummy, I'm actually very clean, hehe, just kidding."
Mingyue: …
I suddenly regretted asking.

In this way, a new area dedicated to displaying mummies and related artifacts was added to the local culture area of the museum.
At the entrance of the Mummy House are two tall statues of Anubis. These statues represent the image of the mythological god who protects the dead. They quietly guard the interior of the Mummy House. Every visitor who enters can feel a solemnity and awe that transcends time and space.
The layout of this area is full of elements of ancient Egypt and the desert. The yellow coarse sand on the floor makes people feel as if they are stepping on the dust of history.
The ancient murals decorating the walls depict the glory of the pharaohs and the legends of the gods. Although the colors have become mottled with the passage of time, one can still glimpse into the former glory.
Simulated suns and stars hanging from the ceiling create a mysterious and ancient sky effect through carefully designed lighting effects.
In the center of the display area, a mummy coffin is placed there quietly, and its presence makes the atmosphere of the entire area more solemn and dignified.
The coffin is surrounded by various related exhibits, each of which tells a story about ancient Egypt.
The stone carvings demonstrate the exquisite skills of ancient craftsmen. Whether it is the statues of gods or the reliefs of pharaohs, they are all lifelike, making people feel awe for those distant legends; perfume bottles are of various shapes and colorful, as if they still retain the fragrance of thousands of years; the inscriptions engraved on the stone slabs record the history and wisdom of the past.
Behind the mummy stands an exquisite miniature model of a pyramid, surrounded by clay figures. Some of them are carrying stones, and some are directing the construction, vividly recreating the scene of pyramid construction.
This is Aha's nest. During the day, he will lie in the mummy coffin and explain to tourists, and then come out to move around freely at night.
Aha was very satisfied with this job arrangement, which perfectly met his requirement of working while lying down.
Mingyue also designed some cultural and creative products for the Mummy Museum.
There is a plush toy of a mummy with a specially recorded sound of Aha inside, which will make you laugh when you squeeze it.
(Stan, by the way, especially liked this one. He loved laughing along with the plush mummy, so Mingyue gave him the first mummy toy she made.)
The cat keychain was based on a keychain made of stone cat sculptures. When making it, Mingyue had an idea to have the cat wear a golden mask, so she made the cat's arms movable and let the cat hold the golden mask in its paws, so that when she moved the arms, she could put on or take off the mask.
Refrigerator magnets are also essential. Mingyue reproduced the refrigerator magnets based on the murals provided by Aha.
She also made ornamental statues of Anubis.
When making the ornament, Mingyue complained to Xiaoman that this ornament is very suitable for working people, after all, the workstation is a grave.
Unfortunately, Xiaoman didn't understand what she was complaining about.
As for the dragon bones, Mingyue copied the dragon's bones and returned the original one to Aha.
Mingyue said to Aha: This kind of thing is too valuable and is not suitable to be placed in a museum. You should keep it for yourself.
The replica of the dragon bone was placed at the entrance of the museum, welcoming every visitor with its magnificent posture, as if it were an ancient guardian god guarding the museum.
The dragon's skull is proudly raised, its sharp teeth and deep eye sockets reveal a wild power, and its neck is gracefully bent, showing the dragon's nobility and majesty in life.
The most spectacular thing is the dragon's broad wings. They extend from both sides of the dragon's body, almost spanning the entire hall, and the wingtips almost touch the walls on both sides.
The skeletal structure of the wings is complex and delicate, with each wing bone clearly visible, recreating the majestic posture of a dragon soaring in the sky.
When sunlight shines through the glass windows on the ceiling and casts mottled light and shadows on the ground between the wing bones, guests will see the shadow of the dragon on the ground, as if the dragon's soul is still wandering in the hall.
