Chapter 1890 Two pairs of statues seeking monthly tickets

Since ancient times, people have been saying that there are many treasures in the Great Pyramid, but because they don’t know where the entrance is, no one can enter the pyramid.

According to records, the first person to enter the Great Pyramid was the Caliph Almamon of Egypt, which was in 820 AD.

Almamon ordered people to use the method of blasting stone to open a passage and enter the Great Pyramid. During the excavation, they accidentally discovered the original passage and thus surveyed some internal structures.

Unfortunately, when they worked hard to reach the "royal family", they only saw an empty sarcophagus, and nothing else in the celestial image and treasure that Almamon dreamed of obtaining.

In 1682, the British man John Gripps measured the Great Pyramid and calculated the total weight of the piled stones.

In 1765, another British man, Nathanier Davidson, noticed something strange when he spoke when the royal family spoke. As a result, he found that there was still space above the royal family, which is the structure now called the "weight loss room".

At that time, any news about the Great Pyramid could cause a sensation. In fact, no matter what era, the mystery of the Great Pyramid strongly attracted people.

Standing on the front of the north side of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, looking down from the top, you can see the entrance and exit of tourists, which is the entrance to the tunnel opened by Almamon.

Walking into the tunnel opened by Almamon, you will soon arrive at the original passage. Going forward, there is a climbing upward passage, where three pieces of granite weighing about 5 tons block the way.

Back then, Almamon and his party were unable to pass here, so they had to open another passage and go against the winding road. The upward passage leads to a large corridor with holes with unknown purpose at equal intervals on both sides of the corridor.

The large corridor can reach the lounge, where there is a rock-falling device. Pull it open and it will be the royal family.

Above the royal family is a five-story house called the 'weight reduction room'. There is another "descending channel" in the tower with the same slope as the ascending channel. After falling inclined by about 97 meters, it becomes horizontal and reaches the basement. This is an unfinished room, located 30 meters underground, about right below the top of the pyramid.

These were originally well-documented information, but now with Charlotte's interpretation, these have become fabricated products and are part of the great scam of the century.

Yang Cheng didn't know who to believe. He had been to Egypt and had seen pyramids, but he had never touched the materials that were said to be natural stones with his hands. However, now, experts from those polar bears prove that the stones are concrete structures and are not purely natural.

Both sides have opposing views, and whoever wants to surpass each other lacks some decisive evidence.

However, Yang Cheng still tends to be his own judgment and still has some understanding of the urinary nature of polar bears. In order to rewrite the history of Europe, polar bears have done many ridiculous things, so it doesn't seem to be a big problem to force Egypt to change it.

As for Charlotte's words, he didn't take them seriously. If Charlotte was an expert in ancient Egyptian civilization, then his words were somewhat credible, but he was just an antique dealer. Even if he said it out loud, no one believed his judgment.

The key is that this matter is hard to explain at all, so let’s not talk about it. Yang Cheng said to Arthur, “Can I take a look at Mr. Williams’ collection?”

Williams had already prepared and took out Williams' collection from the vault, which were two pairs of statues of characters.

Arthur pointed to one of the statues made of bronze and said, "This is a statue of the koala and the princess of the Pharaoh during the Fourth Dynasty of the Ancient Kingdom."

The statue is a bit old, and the king and his wife stand side by side, taking a little step forward with their left foot, but there is no movement to move, and the center of gravity of the whole body is still on both feet. This seems to be a characteristic of Egyptian carving. It has never been shown that the figure who puts the center of gravity of the whole body on one leg and gently leaves the ground. This standing posture enhances the feeling of stability and stability.

The king's arms are vertical and his fists are clenched to indicate the concentration of strength; the princess bent her left hand on the king's left arm, and her right arm hugged the king's waist, which is the standard format for the Egyptian couple's image.

Although the standing posture is a bit dull, the smiling expression on the character's face is still vivid.

The sculptor made different comparisons on the bodies of men and women, and used thin and tight long clothes to depict the soft and undulating curves and graceful body shape of women, while the king's body shape was strong and straight.

After Yang Cheng saw it almost finished, Arthur introduced another pair of colorful statues, which looked like plaster, but should be colored wood, "This is the statue of Laxotup and his wife.

Laxotep was a prince of the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. His sitting statue with his wife Novoret concentratedly reflects the Egyptian royal statue rules: the characters sit upright, with their legs in parallel, the man's right hand placing his chest horizontally, and the left hand placing his left hand on his knee; the woman's breast protection with both hands, his face calm and serious, without the portrayal of personality and emotion."

Yang Cheng remembered the statues he had seen and couldn't help but nodded. The statues in the ancient Egyptian Kingdom were often like this.

Except for shorts, the prince has a naked body, broad shoulders, thick chest, and strong muscles. He contains the power to conquer everything. His skin is brown and red. It may be because men often go on battles and are often exposed to sun and rain, while women have a light yellow skin and delicate and fair skin. This is due to long-term boudoir life.

These two statues have different beauty. The prince is strong and well-behaved. His wife mainly presents pure and soft beauty. Her delicate face is thick and short hair on both sides. She wears a white long dress, just like a Cao's clothes coming out of water, revealing her plump and round body. A pair of peaks appear in front of her crispy xiong. The whole body shape is full of symmetrical balance and beauty.

From the perspective of modern art, the carving language of ancient Egypt was extremely concise, and the rigidity and softness were changed in the generalization, which fully expressed the aesthetic characteristics of the ancient kingdom period.

The statues of pharaohs and princes and nobles in Egyptian portrait sculptures strictly follow the "positive law" procedure according to religious rules, so the postures and expressions of this type of statue are more rigid and rigid, with more divine than human nature.

However, the statues of people with low identities are rarely limited by this program and focus more on realistic lifestyles. Most of these characters are buried with figurines.

After retracting his eyes, Yang Cheng asked, "Where did these two pairs of statues come from?"

Arthur shook his head, "Uncle has never mentioned it, but I have the impression that when I was very young, I saw these two pairs of statues in his study."
