Chapter 1442 Pyramid Travel Notes
Drive southwest from the city area, exiting the toll station, it is a vast desert area, and entering the edge of the Sahara Desert, you can initially feel the spectacularity of the world's largest desert.
The precipitation in nearby areas is scarce, and the water of the Nile River nourishes the land. Not only Egypt, but also the surrounding countries. The water in many places is more precious than oil. Egypt is lucky because it is called the "Mother River".
Calculate the time. When the ancient Egyptians built pyramids here, there should be a wonderful world of green trees and fertile soil nearby. People farmed and hunted, and lived harmoniously and securely to create the splendid culture of ancient Egypt. But as time passed, all of this gradually became covered with yellow sand and turned into another scene.
The wise ancient Egyptian pharaohs would never have imagined these. It was precisely because of the dryness and raininess that the pyramids were preserved so well, with a little weathered appearance, but basically maintained the appearance of the construction.
There are more than 80 pyramids in the lower reaches of the Nile River, the largest of which is Khufu, in the city of Giza, southwest of Cairo.
Giza and Cairo are across the river, and the two are not far apart. This time, Han Xuan and their destination are located in the desert eight kilometers south of Giza City...
Fatty Ding likes traveling.
As a fat cat who is lazy and doesn't like hot weather, its favorite thing is to eat it, and it just takes a look with its owner.
As Han Xuan's footprints spread all over the world, perhaps it will become the first cat to travel around the world, maybe Fat Ding's claw prints can cover many places on the world map.
I ate too much last night and rarely had an appetite this morning, just drank some milk that I had airlifted from the Snow Mountain Ranch.
At needs constant replenishment. Dad Han always believes that the concentrated essence extracted is not directly absorbed from food and milk.
Logistics staff often traveled most of the earth for some fruits and milk and found small bosses running around. In order to ensure safety, the boxes for transporting goods have been specially modified, like safety cabinets for placing biochemical viruses to prevent them from being passively ill midway.
At this moment, Fat Ding was lying by the window, looking at the scene covered with yellow sand, his expression was not surprised.
Similar scenes have also been seen in Dubai. As a knowledgeable cat, it knew that the weather must be very hot outside, so it found its sunglasses and bit it and asked its owner to help put them on.
Han Xuan hugged the fat guy, rubbed his fat back, and when he helped wear glasses, he heard Anya ask, "I remember the Minister of Agriculture last night, why?"
“I said the wrong thing.
Israel and the Arabs had a bad relationship, and I asked them to learn Israel's water-saving agriculture technology, which made him think I was provoking."
Han Xuan told Anya innocently with an expression.
The open-air barbecue last night was pretty good, but the Minister of Agriculture left angrily. He later heard about this incident. The other party did not turn against each other in person. It seemed that he was also an extreme racist. There were a large number of such people in the Arab region.
Regarding the dispute between Palestine and Israel, there are some Chinese textbooks in the future, but they are not detailed.
The Palestinian region once belonged to the Jews more than 2,900 years ago. Later, the country was destroyed and the Jews wandered around. During this period, the Arabs occupied that area and called themselves Palestinians.
Later, Jewish restorationists believed that their race should have a piece of land to establish a country, and finally chose the land where the ancestors lived. After World War II, due to the great influence of the Jewish consortium, the United Nations forcibly allocated most of the land in the Palestinian region that already belonged to the Arabs to the Jews to establish a country.
After hearing this news, the local Arabs were of course unwilling to do so. Since the Jews continued to gather in the Palestinian region to announce the founding of the state, within 24 hours, the Arabs started a war. Israel had the United States behind their backing, and its military strength was much higher than theirs. Several wars ended in failure.
The two sides have hated each other decades ago to the present, and will continue. This contradiction is difficult to resolve. So far, the two countries have had five large-scale territorial wars in total. The Jerusalem area is shared by Israel and Palestine.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Arabs, Israel is like a nail piercing itself in its heart, and it feels uncomfortable no matter how hard it is, and the hatred between them cannot be eliminated in the short term.
In front of the Arabs with extreme concepts, Han Xuan mentioned learning from Israel. It was obviously good intentions, but the other party would think that he was saying that his country was not as good as the Jewish Israel, and it was reasonable to be angry.
After leaving the dilapidated old city, the yellow sand on the ground became thicker after a while.
The roots of the shrubs are deeply rooted down, and the leaves are still green. You can already see several towering pyramids. They look hazy because water vapor disturbs their sight.
The camel caravan carried tourists slowly from the roadside, and the sound of bells could be heard through the glass.
In their eyes, the tall camel still looked like the golden and shiny last night. Both humps were fat. Egyptians liked to eat humps. The camels showed their uneven teeth when chewing. Just looking at this face, it looked a bit like an alpaca...
Close to the pyramid, 6 continue to walk out of the car.
Even in the morning, the sun is very dazzling. It is said that when walking in the desert, people's eyes are often burned, which shows that Fat Ding is indeed smart.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert area is huge, and you need to cover a quilt when sleeping at night, and the temperature suddenly rises to more than 30 degrees Celsius during the day, and it will be hotter by summer.
Including the pyramid, most of the places in the field of view are yellow. Many tourists also came to visit.
With his back to the sun, Han Xuan was in a good mood and was interested in looking at the pyramids in front of him.
Visiting them, in his previous bucket list, after today, you can cross one out from it and smiled and said, "Are there any spare glasses? Give us a few, otherwise you will always squint your eyes."
Gabriel replied: "Yes, sunglasses are essential accessories for bodyguards, but you may be a little big."
"It doesn't matter.
The sand is burning your feet, and the temperature rises so quickly.
Take the time to finish the tour and leave before noon. It may heat up to over 40 degrees Celsius at noon, and there is not much moisture in the air, so it will definitely not feel good."
George nodded and said, "Yes.
When I was a mercenary, I received a search and rescue mission about the Sahara Desert, but I was trapped for five days. When we found them, those people had become mummies-like beings, so I used to say that the desert was dangerous and I didn’t want you to explore here."
"Haha, let's talk about the beautiful scenery of the whole world in the future. I want to take advantage of this life to see it with my own eyes.
Mr. Grylls, the host of "The Secret Skills of Survival in the Wild", has been here. He told me that as long as you are prepared and don't go deep into the heart of the Sahara Desert, there will be no danger."
I approached the pyramid while walking on the yellow sand. During this period, I encountered a rattlesnake. I quickly found an administrator to clear it. If it was unfortunately bitten by it, it would be fatal. These rattlesnakes occasionally ran to the city. As locals, the administrator was quite calm in the face of it.
Han Xuan asked Secretary Dawson to help, took a photo with Anya and Prince William. After asking for his consent, the bodyguards, assistants and others also took many photos as souvenirs. Finally, he asked the Egyptian official who was following along the way to help take a photo.
Regarding the "world's tallest building" of Khufu Pyramid in the long years, many people do not believe that it was completed by manpower, but instead believe that it was left by aliens.
Because it is built of 2.3 million pieces of huge stones with a weight ranging from 1.5 tons to 160 tons, people do not believe that ancient Egypt would take 100,000 workers to build it for twenty years, let alone this is just one of them.
In the future, the knowledge that can be easily obtained from the Internet can only be understood by books and TV, so that people in this era generally have low knowledge.
After Prince William expressed his shock at this, Han Xuan explained: "Maybe it is not as difficult as you think. Some scientists have analyzed the stones that make up the pyramids and found that they are made of shell limestone.
This means that the ancient Egyptians at that time probably had mastered the concrete pouring technology, put the fine concrete powder on it, and then cast it into pieces of large stones we see now. This statement has not been recognized by the scientific community, but it is indeed very likely.
People want to see the grand scene of 100,000 people working together, rather than building it like a modern building.”
The cat's feet were too sensitive and he continued to walk forward with a layer of sweat on his body.
Watching it near the Sphinx, the sculpture more than 20 meters high is quite shocking, but unfortunately its face has long been beyond recognition.
Several pyramids of the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren in the Giza Highlands, the Khufu Pyramid, the Hevra Pyramid and the Menkawula Pyramid are the oldest pyramids in the local area. In order to respect the elders, one is shorter than the other and has great significance. The burial objects inside have been hollowed out and are not allowed to enter. Visitors can only appreciate it from the outside.
When I came to the foot of the largest Khufu pyramid, the surrounding ground was covered with gravel peeled off by time. The stones that formed the pyramid were engraved with the words of various countries. Most of them were names, and their function was similar to "going here", and their quality was not much higher.
Climbing up the stairs made of stones, Han Xuan clewed it with his hands. The stone was still very strong. After looking around, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
This is how travel is.
When you arrive at your destination, you may not be truly satisfied with your spiritual satisfaction...
