Treasure Hunt all over the World - Chapter 2894

Just after eight o’clock in the morning, Ye Tian had already arrived in front of the Egyptian National Museum and started this long-awaited visit.

The Egyptian National Museum is on the corner of Tahrir Square, very close to the Nile Hotel. It can be said that it is within walking distance from the hotel.

This world-famous museum only opened at nine in the morning, but Ye Tian arrived here an hour earlier.

The reason why he did this was to make the best use of his time as much as possible, striving to spend a day visiting this world-famous museum so as not to consume too much time here.

You know, there are many famous museums in Cairo, and there are many antique shops and antique art markets all over the city, all waiting for Ye Tian to go shopping.

However, the tripartite joint exploratory team has relatively limited time to stay in Egypt, so it is natural to make full use of this limited time!

Another reason for coming to the National Museum of Egypt in advance is that Ye Tian wanted to use the hour before the museum opened to appreciate the many antiques and cultural relics displayed at the entrance of the museum and in the garden.

There are not a few tourists who have the same ideas as him!

Although there is still an hour before the museum opens, the entrance of the Egyptian National Museum and the garden are full of people, very lively!

Tourists from all over the world are gathering from all directions to visit this world’s top museum and appreciate the ancient and mysterious ancient Egyptian civilization.

At this time, Ye Tian, ​​wearing a baseball cap on his head, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and a backpack on his back, mixed in the crowd, and walked straight to the entrance of the Egyptian National Museum. It looked nothing special!

None of the tourists from all over the world and the Egyptian police patrolling here recognized him, thinking he was just an ordinary tourist from East Asia!

Obviously, Ye Tian made a disguise and changed his appearance, so no one recognized him.

The reason for this, of course, was for safety reasons, and Ye Tian didn’t want to be a sniper’s target.

For example, the Arab sniper who ambushed the three-party joint exploration team in the Sinai Peninsula before, who knows whether that guy has come with Cairo, whether he is lying in ambush near Tahrir Square, after all, this is an open public space.

Different from European cities such as Rome and Paris, this is Cairo, the largest city in the Arab world. If many security personnel under Ye Tian want to operate here, they will inevitably be subject to many restrictions and cannot do what they want!

Because Matisse, they are either white or black, and they are not of Arab origin. Their characteristics are very obvious, and they are clear at a glance!

It is very difficult for them to enter the buildings around Tahrir Square for inspection, even if they are dressed as Arabs!

The reason is that most of the buildings around Tahrir Square are very important, such as the Egyptian Central Government Building, the Arab League Building, etc. The security checks in these places are very strict, and it is difficult to get in!

If someone lie in ambush in these buildings and conduct long-range sniping, even if Matisse and Mossad found the location of the snipers, it would be difficult to enter these buildings to round up the snipers!

In view of this, Ye Tian made a pretense when he went out in the morning.

He changed his attire and appearance, pretending to be an ordinary tourist from East Asia, then quietly left the Nile Hotel and appeared on Tahrir Square.

As for his current identity, he is an ordinary Chinese tourist from Seattle, USA. The passport and all other documents are readily available, without any loopholes!

Of course, these documents are all ‘real’ forged documents, and there is nothing wrong with them!

Except for a limited number of people, no one else in the tripartite joint exploration team knew his whereabouts or what he was like now.

Even Joshua, the Bishop of Kent and others don’t know where Ye Tian went, so they can only guess secretly that he probably went to the National Museum of Egypt with makeup!

In addition to Ye Tian, ​​some other members of the tripartite joint exploration team also left the Nile Hotel early and came to the vicinity of the Egyptian National Museum, waiting for the museum to open, and then went in and visited.

A few meters away from Ye Tian’s side, there were several employees of his staff, walking towards the museum gate while talking, laughing and chatting!

Those guys didn’t expect that the ordinary tourist wearing sunglasses not far away would be his boss!

And seven or eight meters away from Ye Tian, ​​Walker and Pique, who also dressed up in disguise, mixed in with the crowds coming and going, secretly protecting Ye Tian!

While talking, Ye Tian had already come to the flower bed in front of the Egyptian National Museum, and then stopped and looked at the flower bed and the museum door a little further away.

At the entrance of the Egyptian National Museum, there is a vibrant courtyard where lotus flowers symbolizing ancient Upper Egypt and papyrus symbolizing ancient Lower Egypt are planted.

Papyrus is the oldest paper-making material in the world. As early as five thousand years ago, the ancient Egyptians began to use papyrus and exported this special product to ancient Greece and other ancient Mediterranean civilizations, and even the far inland of Europe. And West Asia.

The study of ancient manuscripts written on papyrus is called papyrus, and papyrus has also become one of the symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Ye Tian looked at the lotus leaves floating in the courtyard pond and the lush papyrus, then turned his attention to the Egyptian National Museum ahead.

This is an ancient and luxurious double-storey stone building designed by the famous French archaeologist Mariette, who was called the “Father of the Egyptian Museum” by the Egyptians in 1858.

The original intention of the Egyptians in building this museum was to prevent the unearthed Egyptian national treasures from flowing abroad. The museum was later relocated twice, and it was moved to the new Cairo museum at the beginning of the last century!

Although it has been relocated many times, this famous museum uses the same architectural design plan, so the appearance has not changed much.

Because this museum was designed and built in the colonial period, it was designed by the French with a knife, and its appearance has obvious Western cultural colors and North African Arab cultural colors. It is the product of the fusion of two cultures.

On both sides of the pond in front of this museum, that is, on both sides of the pond with lotus and papyrus, there are two huge sphinxes, also known as the famous Sphinx, entrenched one by one. On both sides of the museum gate.

Judging from the location of the two sphinxes, they are a bit like Chinese stone lions, both guarding the gate, but they are different in shape and have different meanings in their respective civilization systems.

In addition to the two sphinxes, in the courtyard in front of the museum, there are also other antique relics from ancient Egypt, which are basically stone carvings.

They either stand on the lawn, or placed in front of the window, or stand on a high pedestal, silently showing people the ancient and splendid ancient Egyptian civilization.

For example, the two carved stone statues of ancient Egyptian pharaohs standing at the entrance of the museum are divided into two sides of the museum gate, watching every person entering and exiting the museum or passing by the museum entrance.

In some of the ancient Egyptian stone carvings, there are still many ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns. As for the meaning of these words and patterns, not many people know.

Just above the arched gate of the museum, is a marble relief head of Hathor, the most beautiful **** and wealthy **** in ancient Egypt, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, but with a pair of horns on top of his head, looking forward with a smile on his face.

There is an alcove on the left and right sides of the gate. In the alcove on the left is a marble relief of Isis, the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility, holding a handful of lotus flowers in his hands, symbolizing Upper Egypt.

Enshrined in the niche on the right is also the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility, Isis, but he holds a papyrus symbolizing Lower Egypt in his hand.

The two reliefs of the goddess Isis with different postures are both exquisitely carved and lifelike. The reason why they are here symbolizes the unity of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.

Opposite the main entrance of the Egyptian National Museum, there is also a marble statue of Mariette, the father of the Egyptian Museum, watching his most outstanding work quietly.

Ye Tian, ​​walking in the courtyard in front of the Egyptian National Museum, was quickly attracted by the many ancient Egyptian cultural relics here, and he was intoxicated with appreciation.

After stopping and walking, he came to a statue of Sphinx, ready to appreciate this relic from ancient Egypt.

At this moment, a joking voice suddenly came from the side, and he was speaking the Tianjin dialect that sounds funny.

“Similar to you! Isn’t this the “devilish human face” that Guo Degang said! It is no different from our Chinese stone lions, and there is no stone lion mighty, but it does look a little bit facet!”

“Hahaha”

When Ye Tian heard this, he laughed aloud and turned to look at the guy who said this.

Needless to say, it must be a Chinese who said this, and it is a cross talk fan from the city.

As Ye Tian expected, they were two tourists from China, a man and a woman, in their early twenties, each carrying a backpack, looking like two college students.

Ye Tian glanced at the two guys ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then smiled and said hello:

“Good morning, are you tourists from China? My name is Chen Fei and I am a Chinese from Seattle in the United States. Can you meet me? I sometimes listen to Guo Degang’s cross talk, which is very funny!”

With that, Ye Tian stretched out his right hand, ready to shake hands with the two guys.

Hearing Ye Tian’s very standard Mandarin, the two guys were stunned for a moment, and then bright smiles appeared on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, the man among them shook hands with Ye Tian.

“Hello, Brother Chen, I am glad to meet you. My name is Zhao Nan. This is Lin Yu and I come from Tianjin, China. Your Mandarin is really too standard. Listening to you, I thought you were from Beijing. Who would have thought From Seattle, USA!”

Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn’t help laughing to himself.

You kid heard that right, buddy is an authentic Beijing native!
