Chapter 1096 Sisters



That night, the Egyptian tour guide recommended Nalanshiqi and Yunluo to go to a local restaurant to eat seafood. Yunluo went with Nalanshiqi, but found that the seafood was not so fresh, nor as cheap as the Egyptian tour guide said, and was even very expensive. So Nalanshiqi and Yunluo were not interested in pulling the tour leader and a group member who was traveling alone to have a rich local meal in an Egyptian local restaurant! Camel meat, mutton, fish, seafood soup, everything is available, and it is not expensive~ In short, the group members who had eaten seafood in the restaurant recommended by the Egyptian tour guide asked about the price, but they didn’t say anything...

In the early morning, after a 6.5-hour journey, the pyramids in the night. The Red Sea coast - the Pyramids of Giza. After breakfast in the early morning, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi took a walk in the hotel courtyard. The hotel where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stayed was very large and had many swimming pools. The back of the hotel led to the Red Sea coast. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi strolled in the middle, taking photos, and the sun had risen and became hot.

Flowers in the desert are always eye-catching, because it is not easy to see green plants in Egypt. Nalan Shiqi wants to take pictures of flowers whenever she sees them.

This plant is very rare in the desert. Nalan Shiqi likes it very much. She secretly picked a leaf and put it in a book and brought it back. The texture of the leaf is very similar to cloth. Walking out of the area with swimming pools one after another, you will reach the Red Sea.

Beyond the countless parasols, there was the Red Sea where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo left their happy laughter. The quality of the beach was pretty good. Returning along the same route, Nalan Shiqi wanted to take advantage of the time before leaving to go swimming in the hotel's swimming pool.

At 11 o'clock that morning, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo left the hotel again. Yunluo really didn't want to go into details about the 6.5-hour drive. For Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, who didn't drive 6.5 hours both ways, this was not bad... Although Yunluo preferred the domestic flight route.

When Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived in Cairo again, where many houses had no roofs, the sun was about to set.

The last night in Egypt, we stayed in the most luxurious hotel - Mena House Hotel. From the balcony of Nalanshiqi and Yunluo's room, we could see the pyramids. After returning home, many friends asked Yunluo if it was true that there was a city next to the pyramids in the photos. The photos proved that it was true... Every day in front of the Pyramid of Khufu, there was a sound and light show telling the history of the pyramids. Nalanshiqi was not interested. Yunluo was very tired, so Nalanshiqi and Yunluo did not go that night.

Goodbye, the thousand-year history that has been brought to light, goodbye, Egypt! Statue of Ramses - Perfume Shop - Khalili Market. Last night, I could only see the Pyramid of Khufu under the night sky. When I woke up in the morning, I found that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had never seen the Pyramid of Khafre next to it, just because the spire of the Pyramid of Khafre was white.

The trees in the hotel grow freely, unlike the dusty streets outside the hotel walls. By the pool in the hotel, you can take a clear reflection of the pyramid. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi took many photos here.

The last ancient monument we visited in Egypt was the statue of Ramses II. There is no way this statue can lie on its back because it has no legs... But as you can see from the picture, the charm of Ramses II is still there.

Like the Egyptian Museum, the stone sculptures outside this exhibition hall are all real cultural relics... There is also a sphinx here, but which pharaoh it belongs to and whether it was built during his lifetime or after his death are all topics of debate among archaeologists.

On that day, the travel agency arranged a visit to a perfume shop. After experiencing the deception of the Egyptian tour guide during the Red Sea, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi made up their minds not to buy things in such places. Whether it was "Arabian Nights" or "Desert Storm" that were only sold in Egypt, they could not arouse Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's desire to buy, so Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took the beautiful glass products in the display cabinet as the fun of the visit, and learned about the efficacy and taste of the perfume by the way, and prepared to go to the last stop of the day - Khalili Market to look for it.

Whether it is a little bear fragrance bottle or something else, it will make people feel very cute.

There are too many people in the Khalili Market, and many of the items are made in China, so be careful to identify them. Another thing is bargaining. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi only bought perfume, because the previous wave of Chinese people had already bargained down the price. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi almost didn't have to work hard... Is this considered a small bargain...

When Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi came out of the perfume shop in the Khalili Market, it was already nightfall and the lights were on. Thinking that this was Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's last day in Egypt and that they were about to go to the airport, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were actually very happy. In Nalan Shiqi's words, she couldn't stand this gray and gloomy environment, and in Yunluo's words, Yunluo was a little homesick.

Egypt left Nalanshiqi and Yunluo with endless aftertastes, but it was not their homeland after all. But Nalanshiqi and Yunluo were still grateful that they had set foot on this magical North African land in their lifetime and witnessed the brilliant civilization of seven thousand years ago. To this day, the magnificent buildings here have not collapsed, the wealth here has not been plundered, and the civilization here is still passed down to this day. What disappeared was the ** that once thought it could hold power forever, the pursuit of resurrection and immortality that had persisted for thousands of years, and the ancient faith that was born in the native land but disappeared due to invasion.

The tour guide was an Egyptian named Milad, whose Chinese name was Li Yang. He had brown skin, a sturdy build, and a lot of hair. He said he was a bit handsome (he was indeed a handsome guy) and a very interesting person.

After gathering, we immediately headed to the pyramids, which are probably the greatest wonder of human architecture in existence. Since we were traveling with a group, time was a bit tight. We spent about 20 minutes on each of the three pyramids in Giza. Maybe taking photos was enough, but it was difficult to get a good feel for the pyramids up close. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo basically only approached the Pyramid of Khufu, which is also the tallest pyramid on the Giza Plateau. It is said that it held the highest building record for more than 4,000 years before the Eiffel Tower was built.

Friends who have been there said that the pyramids don't look that high when viewed up close, but Yunluo still feels very shocked when approaching it. Especially from the perspective of that year, when most of the world's human beings were still using stones to make some rough knives and axes, the Egyptians had already built such a miracle using granite and marble, and its application problems in mathematics, astronomy, calendar, physics, etc. have not been fully revealed to this day. Before, Yunluo had always imagined what kind of historical vicissitudes he would feel by touching the pyramids. With this reverent mood, Yunluo touched the rock at the foot of the Pyramid of Khufu. Although there was no switching of historical shots for thousands of years in the movie, the stone was actually cool in the temperature close to 40 degrees. The pyramids give Yunluo your energy.

Although the purpose of the pyramids is still unclear, it is generally believed that the pyramids are the tombs of the pharaohs. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt were keen on studying death and longed for resurrection. Today, the pharaohs are naturally asleep, but the pyramids still stand in the wind and sand, and have experienced thousands of years.

There is a highland near the Giza Pyramids, where you can take pictures of all six pyramids. The Sphinx is basically in the same scenic area as the pyramids. It is said that there was a strange-looking stone around the pyramids when they were built, so the builders made it into a sphinx. He is regarded as the guardian of the pyramids, loyally guarding the soul of the pharaoh. Sphinx is the name given to it by the Greeks, because when the Greeks came here to fight, they saw it and thought of similar mythical beasts in Greek mythology; while the Arabs called it a terrifying monster, because the Arabs were terrified when they saw it when they fought here. In fact, the Sphinx looks a bit funny, without a nose, and the proportions of the body are relatively unbalanced. It is not easy to imagine how the Arabs feel scared. The nose does not seem to be the result of Napoleon's bombardment as rumored, but is said to be the result of weathering.

There is a magical legend about the Sphinx. The Sphinx was buried in the sand for thousands of years after it was built, and people gradually forgot about it. Thousands of years later, it is said that Thutmose dreamed of the Sphinx and said to him: If you can find Yunluo, you can become the Pharaoh. So Thutmose dug out the Sphinx from the sand, and he became the Pharaoh as he wished. It reminds me of Cao Cao's Tongque Tower. I wonder if Thutmose used the same trick.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In terms of floor space, value and quantity of collections, the Egyptian Museum may not be as good as the first two. But the things here are 3, 4,000 years old. Due to the insufficient area of ​​the museum, 2/3 of the total collection of 150,000 pieces are randomly piled up in the warehouse, and only 50,000 pieces are exhibited. Moreover, most of the exhibits do not have very strict protection measures, and tourists can basically touch these stone statues and ornaments thousands of years ago at will. It seems to show that there are plenty of ancient objects, and there is no need to deliberately treat them as cultural relics. This bit of extravagance is probably enough to kill other museums in seconds. Take a photo at the main entrance of the museum. Photography is not allowed inside, but there are some cultural relics in the courtyard.

The museum only arranged a 2.5-hour visit, which was not enough to see all the exhibits carefully, so we could only see some representative treasures under the guidance of a tour guide, such as statues of pharaohs such as Khufu, Mentuhotep, Akhenaten, Hatshepsut, various mummies, various famous statues such as the secretary statue, the general and his wife stone statue, and the funerary objects in Tutankhamun's tomb, etc. There is also the only fake in the museum - the Rosetta Stone, the real one is in the British Museum.
