Chapter 444 Hieroglyphics
Occasionally, Li Jinxing's eyes fell on her notebook. He picked up a piece of paper she had scattered, saw the colorful figures on it, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic alphabet..." Nie Yao looked at the colorful picture in his hand and suddenly laughed, "This one was drawn for me by my adoptive father himself. He taught it to me when I was little!"
Li Jinxing nodded in understanding, lowered his head to look at the letters represented by several hieroglyphs, and asked in surprise: "So you remember them all?"
"Yes, it's not difficult to remember these things..." Nie Yao nodded and replied with a smile, "It's just that when I was little, I was playful and often couldn't remember them, so my adoptive father punished me by making me copy them. I didn't understand it at the time, but later I realized that it takes a solid foundation to do archaeology well!"
"You're a good student. I remember Director Chen has praised you several times!" Li Jinxing praised with a smile, pointing to the hieroglyphic chart in his hand. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he said, "Oh, these characters look familiar to me. I think I saw local people carrying plaques with these characters in Egypt before?"
"Yes, the locals are accustomed to wearing silver nameplates with their names engraved in hieroglyphics as amulets!"
Nie Yao nodded happily, pointing to the pattern on the icon, and explained with a smile: "For example, my name, Nie Yao, is usually engraved with the two initials NY, which are these two..."
Nie Yao pointed at the water and double reed flowers in the pattern and said to Li Jinxing.
"Interesting!" Li Jinxing subconsciously touched his neck, where he was also wearing the amulet belonging to Nie Yao, and the sachet on it also had the word "Yao" embroidered on it!
Perhaps, he should also give his Yaoyao an equally meaningful amulet with his name printed on it!
"What about my name? Which patterns are they?" Li Jinxing asked with interest.
"Let me see, three initials, LJX, lion, snake, scepter... these are the three patterns!" Nie Yao pointed to the three patterns above and said to Li Jinxing with a smile.
Li Jinxing lowered his head to examine them carefully, silently memorizing the three patterns. Nie Yao couldn't help but stroke his chin and sighed, "Li Jinxing, you are really amazing. There are lions, snakes, and scepters. If such hieroglyphs were placed in ancient Egypt, they would have meant an extremely noble and powerful figure!"
"Really..." Li Jinxing chuckled, holding her hand and jokingly said, "You're not bad either!"
"I can't compare to you..." Nie Yao spread her hands, turned her head and looked at Li Jinxing's facial features and profile carefully, and suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Jinxing, who had been looking down at the hieroglyphic pattern, raised his head to look at Nie Yao, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I remember the first time I rescued you in the Valley of the Kings, my junior Steve praised you for being as handsome as a pharaoh!" Nie Yao paused and exclaimed with a smile, "Now it seems that you really have the style of a pharaoh. If you put on ancient Egyptian clothes, you can definitely play a famous pharaoh, such as Thutmose I or Ramses II!"
"Little fool, how are Pharaoh and I similar..." Li Jinxing shook his head and laughed, thinking she was joking with him.
"I'm not lying. You have thick eyebrows, deep eyes, a nose bridge higher than many Asians, and a smooth jawline from the side..."
