Chapter 698 Dream of Ancient Egypt
"The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. We will be in awe of all unsolved mysteries..." Nie Yao put her hand on his shoulder and answered with a smile.
Li Jinxing nodded silently, adjusted his posture so that she could sit more comfortably in his arms, and whispered, "Actually, sometimes I have some weird dreams..."
"What did you dream about?" Nie Yao asked curiously.
"I dreamt of some very ancient scenes, as if it was a long, long time ago. My clothes and appearance were very strange, sometimes very cool, and I was walking between different halls and temples..."
Li Jinxing paused here, as if lost in thought.
"Is it a scene from ancient Egypt?" Nie Yao asked with raised eyebrows.
Li Jinxing was stunned for a moment, then he came back to meet Nie Yao's gaze and asked with a surprised smile, "How did you know?"
"Seeing how much you like ancient Egyptian culture, even the decoration of your villa is in ancient Egyptian style, I know that you must have dreamed about scenes from ancient Egypt. Maybe you dream about what you think about during the day..."
Li Jinxing shook his head and laughed, then replied in a low voice, "Actually, I remember having dreams about ancient Egypt when I was a child, but I didn't understand much about it back then. Later, I was fortunate enough to learn about ancient Egyptian culture, and then my dreams resonated with me. My interest in ancient Egypt was only ignited later..."
"So that's how it is!" Nie Yao nodded in understanding and said with a smile, "It seems you have an indissoluble bond with ancient Egyptian culture, just like me..."
Nie Yao sighed softly at this point and said honestly, "To be honest, I've had several similar dreams recently!"
"Really? What did you dream about?" Li Jinxing asked hurriedly with concern.
"My dreams were quite disorganized. One time I seemed to dream of a certain pharaoh, and another time was quite terrifying, dreaming of the ancient Egyptian mummification process. But the most recent dream was that I traveled back to the 18th Dynasty and seemed to be in Queen Hatshepsut's chamber. I also saw the famous priest Senmut..."
"Is that the powerful female pharaoh you mentioned?" Li Jinxing asked with a low laugh.
"Yes, it's her. The family heirloom in your family is from her reign!" Nie Yao nodded happily and answered without hesitation.
"Then what about that Senmut you mentioned?" Li Jinxing asked curiously again.
"He's very capable. When Queen Hatsu was an Egyptian princess, he was her teacher. Later, when Queen Hatsu ascended the throne as pharaoh, he became her most important minister, holding many positions, including the famous Queen's Temple, which he also designed and built..."
Nie Yao couldn't help but talk endlessly when talking about the priest named Senmut.
"But the most legendary story is the love story between the priest and Queen Hatsu. It's said that Senmut never married and was even gifted a sarcophagus by the Queen Hatsu. A cross-section of Queen Hatsu's tomb shows that deep underground, their tombs ultimately overlapped, separated only by a wall..."
She paused here, then sighed softly, "And in her own Queen's Temple, behind the tomb door lies a statue of Senmut. Many people say they placed it this way, probably hoping that upon resurrection, they would first see the person they loved most. This is what they call 'if you can't be together in life, you must be buried together in death!'"
