Chapter 453 Ancient Egypt



But then again, what else do you need when it's this beautiful? It's just too beautiful. Su Changsheng's aesthetic taste is simply amazing.

"This money is a small matter. The main thing is that it is difficult to get. If it wasn't so hard to come by, I could give you a piece of it."

Su Changsheng followed behind her and explained.

Xiao Guo leaned listlessly on Jiang Shanhe's strong arm and shook his head, "Forget it, this price makes me dizzy."

Su Changsheng chuckled. Talking about this piece of colored glass, it really took a lot of effort to make it.

"How did you get it?"

Xiaoguo was a little curious. Su Changsheng's network was too wide. Shao Kingdom didn't have any colored natural glass yet, but he was able to gather such a large piece.

"By chance, I crossed the endless desert, drifted across the Atlantic Ocean, walked across the dry plains, and met all kinds of tribal groups. Those were places that were not recorded in the Atlas of All Nations. They had long arms and legs, some were naked with only simple leaves to cover their bodies, and some had black skin but were covered with red mud. They lived in semi-underground adobe houses with limited space, and the water they drank was extremely turbid..."

Xiaoguo was surprised. He went to Africa? This description was too much like those primitive tribes in Africa. The shape of the body covered with red mud was the symbol of the African Simba tribe.

The Himba people believe that nudity is beautiful, so it is common to see men, women, young and old exposing their breasts.

People covered themselves in red mud because they thought it was not only beautiful but also could protect them from the sun and mosquitoes, so it gradually became a kind of ethnic culture.

These primitive tribes broke away from society and created their own languages ​​and customs unique to each ethnic group.

"You didn't encounter any cannibalistic tribes?"

Xiaoguo was intrigued by what he said. She suddenly thought of the Nufeta villager of the Wallash tribe in Africa, whom she had only seen on the Internet. They were cannibals.

It is said that human bones are also used to make various daily necessities or hunting tools, and human bones can be seen everywhere.

Su Changsheng looked at her strangely, then nodded and said, "I heard from the local people accompanying me, but I didn't dare to go there. We made a big detour and avoided that place."

That's no joke, if you get touched, you'll be burned right down. But is it really possible for a woman who never leaves the house to know this?

Jiang Shanhe watched the two people chatting more and more happily, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, should he also buy a copy of the World Atlas? Or go abroad to try it out? That would require a customs clearance certificate, um! It's not too late to prepare now!

"It's worse than a famine. The living environment is terrible and water is scarce. A normal person wouldn't be able to stay there for even a day."

Xiaoguo nodded and agreed very much. When she watched the documentary about the primitive tribes in Africa before, she was shocked and felt lucky at the same time. Fortunately, she was not born there.

Africa is a very rich and fertile continent. It is not only rich in resources but also has favorable natural conditions in all aspects. However, perhaps it is because the conditions are too good that Africa is so backward now.

As the saying goes, people are born in worry and die in comfort. Africa's wealth has fostered laxity and a lack of ambition in most parts of the continent.

This is true thousands of years later, not to mention thousands of years ago.

Africa is also the place with the largest number of tribes, large and small. Most of them are still far away from modern civilization and still follow primitive and ancient customs. However, in the eyes of modern people, those are extremely cruel and outdated customs.

"Wasn't that where Liuli was found?"

Xiaoguo doesn't remember any incidents regarding the discovery of stained glass in those primitive tribes.

"No, it's in a place called... Kaimet."

Su Changsheng looked at her tentatively, wanting to hear what she would say.

As soon as he said that, Xiaoguo understood. The hieroglyphic name of ancient Egypt is Kemet, which is located across the two continents of Asia and Africa. Most of it is located in the northeastern part of Africa, connected to Libya in the west, Sudan in the south, the Red Sea in the east and borders Palestine and Israel, and the Mediterranean Sea in the north.

Khemah specifically means "black land". With the disappearance of hieroglyphics, it is called Misr in modern Arabic, which means "vast country". Later, Egypt was a transliteration. The full name is the Arab Republic of Egypt.

"You know Camart?"

Now, Su Changsheng was curious about her in more ways than one.

Xiaoguo didn't notice the problem and just nodded, "Of course I know."

She happened to be interested in Egyptian pharaohs, pyramids, sphinxes and mummies for a while, so she learned a lot of knowledge. As the saying goes, to know yourself, you must know your enemy. To understand a place, it is best to start from the background of the place. So she not only knew them, but she could recite them by heart.

Su Changsheng chuckled. Only the locals would call her by her name. She...

"The Atlas of Nations records him as Wusri. How do you know about Kemet?"

Xiao Guo was stunned and cried out that it was not good, but she did not show it on her face and said calmly, "I heard it from a storyteller. I thought it was nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true. Haha."

Su Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said half-truthfully, "You have a really good memory, so please take some time to introduce that storyteller to me."

"OK."

Xiaoguo smiled and nodded.

Jiang Shanhe trusted Xiaoguo unconditionally and believed everything she said. Not only that, he also touched her head with great pride, thinking that his wife was truly knowledgeable, talented, and kind-hearted.

Xiao Guo felt guilty and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, was that Liuli found in Kaimet?"

"That's right." Su Changsheng put away his smile and continued, "I was attracted to it the first time I saw it, so I spent more than three years and asked someone to buy it at a high price. Now I have these, which can barely be connected into a large piece."

Xiaoguo nodded. She seemed to have some impression. According to historical records, glass first appeared in ancient Egypt. It was made from the solidification of acidic rocks from volcanic eruptions and certain substances. This kind of natural colored glass is truly rare. Rather than saying it is colored glass, it is better to say that it is a natural colored crystal.

Shao State currently has the technology to make colored glass, but it is colorless. For natural, light-transmitting colored crystals like this, the price is actually a small matter; the biggest problem is that it is rare.

The more he visited, the more surprised Xiaoguo became and the weaker his legs became.

She had only one idea, how to drive Su Changsheng out and occupy this place alone.

The decoration is simply amazing. There is no harm without contrast. Not only is the decoration high-end, but even the cellar and the operation room are perfect. There are no luminous stones on the walls, but several super large luminous pearls are inlaid to illuminate them. It is so extravagant.

In conclusion, there is absolutely no room for improvement.

She didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that if she did, she would be unable to resist rushing back to Yonghai County to redecorate her two-story house.

Declining Su Changsheng's offer to send them off, the two decided to take a walk instead.

On the way back, she was in low spirits, clutching Jiang Shanhe's sleeve tightly, looking listless.

"How about I go to Wusili?"

Jiang Shanhe couldn't bear to see her suffer like this, so he decided to set off after the New Year.

Xiao Guo grabbed his hand and interlocked their fingers, "No, it's too dangerous there, I don't want you to go."

The man in her family is so handsome, what if he is caught by some tribe?

Xiaoguo was very self-reliant, and her love for Tianran Caili soon faded away.

Although her two-story house is not as luxurious and elegant as Su Changsheng's, it also has its own charm, and she still likes her own decoration style.

Looking at the woman who was smiling again, Jiang Shanhe touched her head gently. His Xiaoguo was so cute, great, well-behaved and lovable.
