Chapter 789 Eye of Horus
Professor Fred smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and said, "Yes, it is the Eye of Horus!"
"But I don't quite understand..." Nie Yao frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "Since it's a structure inside the cliff, why is it built in the shape of the Eye of Horus?"
"The Eye of Horus represents divine protection and supreme authority. Its shape represents the absolute power of Pharaoh Hatshepsut!"
Professor Fred paused, stroked his chin, and sighed, "The Eye of Horus also has a protective meaning. This means there is something inside that needs to be protected, and it is very likely that the most important thing hidden inside is right in the center of this Eye of Horus!"
"Isn't that where the pupil is?" Nie Yao asked in surprise.
"It's very possible..." Professor Fred nodded happily and said in a deep voice, "Following this line of thought, we might be able to find the secret hidden inside sooner! However, only a genius architect like Senmut could have come up with the idea of building such a secret passage between the temple and the Valley of the Kings!"
Professor Fred was still sighing softly, and Nie Yao couldn't help but feel a little excited. She turned her head to look at Li Jinxing and whispered, "Perhaps soon, we will be able to start excavation work and help you find the true secret behind your heirloom!"
Li Jinxing looked at her excited expression and nodded, smiling and saying, "If that's the case, then I want to thank you and Professor Fred!"
"My dad is more capable. I've studied this topographic map for several days, but I can't see any clues!" Nie Yao shrugged, then thought of something and asked Professor Fred, "Dad, you're studying this map alone here, where are the others?"
"They are still scanning the artifacts and conducting research on strontium isotopes and carbon-14 before making the final identification..." Professor Fred explained with a faint smile.
Nie Yao nodded in sudden realization and explained to Li Jinxing with a smile, "Once we finish this, we'll be able to come to an accurate conclusion!"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly and politely asked Professor Fred, "Professor, now that the research results are out, can Yaoyao lead the archaeological team to conduct excavation work?"
"That's about right..." Professor Fred said this, and seeing Li Jinxing frowning slightly, he asked with concern, "Why, are you anxious?"
Li Jinxing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed in surprise: "No, it's just that something happened last night that made me think that perhaps the person who covets this artifact is more anxious than us!"
"Don't worry about this matter. After Steve told me, I reminded the Cultural Relics Committee that this cultural relic must be protected at the highest level at all costs. We must not allow those criminals to steal it!"
Professor Fred smiled faintly and comforted Li Jinxing. Li Jinxing nodded and said nothing more.
"Li Jinxing, this is your first time at the Archaeological Research Center. Do you want to visit other laboratories?" Nie Yao suddenly spoke and asked Li Jinxing with a smile.
"Is it okay?" Li Jinxing raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"Of course, Dad, don't you think so? After all, the cultural relics were donated by Li Jinxing. He can observe their research process, right?" Nie Yao asked her adoptive father with a smile.
