Section 112 Blossoms

Sand color is the symbolic color of the Middle East.

Egypt spans two continents, Asia and Africa. It is connected to Libya in the west, Sudan in the south, the Red Sea in the east, Palestine in the east, Israel in the north, and the Mediterranean in the north. Most of its territory is located in northeastern Africa.

Only the Sinai Peninsula east of the Suez Canal is located in southwestern Asia. Although it has about 2,900 kilometers of coastline, it is also a typical desert country - 95% of its land area is desert. It is truly a model of the fusion of water and fire.

In the sixth and seven hundred BC, the Persians invaded Egypt. They said that from then on, they were not allowed to speak Egypt, but only Persian; in 332 BC, Alexander completely included the entire Mediterranean region, including Asia Minor, and North Africa, and Egypt became a fertile land in Greece. The Greeks said that from then on, there was no Egyptian, you could only speak Greek.

As Rome gradually became a Mediterranean power, Egypt was occupied by the Romans, so the ancient Roman language became the official language of Egypt. Later, the Arabs invaded Egypt again, so the Egyptians changed to Arabic. Every time they were occupied, they were accompanied by fierce conflicts and confrontations of cultures.

People believe that advanced civilizations have always been the ultimate defeat of backward civilizations, but no matter who they are, they will be defeated repeatedly and will be frustrated for a long time. No matter how strong the soft power is, it will gradually be lost. Egypt, which can only be used as an unofficial language, will slowly die.

Only a few temple priests were still insisting on speaking one of the dialects - Coptic. When they also faded out of the historical stage, the former giant finally fell down.

The dust in the sky was raised, blurring the eyes of whom. Nalan Shuqi and Yun Luo sadly discovered that the most magnificent and splendid civilization in human history had lost its voice.

The first stop of the Egyptian journey to Nalan Seqi and Yunluo in Egypt is the capital Cairo.

"One Thousand and One Nights" says: "A person who has not seen Cairo is that he has not seen the world. Her land is gold, her Nile is a miracle. Her women are like the saint with black eyes in heaven. Her house is a palace. Her air is as soft as aloe and smells pleasant. How can Cairo not be like this? Because she is the mother of the world."

Pyramids, mummies, death spells, and countless treasures. Egypt is a luxurious stage play spread along the Nile River, performing thousands of years of birth, old age, sickness and death. So, according to "One Thousand and One Nights", when you walk into Cairo, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, you will see the world.

I woke up at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night and was surging around on the bed, but I was still not used to the jet lag. I was confused until the time I should have woken up naturally. I had eaten the rich buffet breakfast in the hotel and went out to wander.

In the history books, I kept talking about the four ancient civilizations, just like an old lady with a twilight age, constantly talking about her former glory. In this way, the pyramid on the Nile River was deeply engraved into my mind. When I arrived in Cairo, I went straight to the pyramid without saying a word, and I could see the biggest one.

When I left the door, I really felt that Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo were already in a foreign land. The strong Muslim style. I was not familiar with the situation on the first day, so I first called the pyramids of Giza. It was only 30 pounds and it was not expensive. There were also many buses near the northwest of Jiefang Square to go directly to the north gate of the pyramids scenic area of ​​Giza.

The driving level of Chinese drivers is already very high, while Egyptian taxis are even more crazy. As soon as they get off the bus at the north gate of the shari Aal-haram scenic spot on Pyramid Road, they were stopped by enthusiastic Egyptians, saying that tourists must ride camels or mules and horses into the scenic spot. Nalan Seqi and Yun Luo were born in the Heavenly Dynasty and grew up in the Heavenly Dynasty. They can’t believe this when they cheated on the small and deceived the big ones.

Send a few guys who pretend to be tickets and go straight to the ticket office. Now the tickets for gizapyra fans have increased to 60 GBP. It is still quite cost-effective than the sky-high tickets in China.

The weather is bad, and there is no wind on the flat ground to raise loess. The tower is crying with bones. The pyramid of Khufu Cheops in Giza is looming in the sand and dust, making it even more mysterious. When you enter the door by buying a ticket, the security check at the door is relatively strict. After all, in 1993, a group of short-sighted terrorists bombed the Golden Tower.

The security inspectors here also habitually asked the tourists with Asian faces whether they had erectile qualities. Fortunately, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo were prepared, which was a small gift. The security inspection was as if they had a treasure. They were very happy. They thanked each other repeatedly, and they almost sent the submachine gun to Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo, and they were sweating.

Before Yun Luo could feel the feeling, he was stopped by the vendors. They had been through the battlefield for a long time and asked, "Brother, where did you come from?", "The Tang Dynasty came from the East", "Ah, Hua Guo Yunluo likes it, my friend, I give this headscarf to you." As he said that, he pulled out a piece from his shoulder and forced it to Nalan Shuqi and Yun Luo. Brother knew that he had the short hand of his hand.

The hawker turned to attack Xiaoqiang, who was well-faced. He was so hot that he was at a loss when he was hot in China-Egypt friendship. He knew that it was a trick of the Middle Eastern people, but he was still afraid of hurting the feelings of the Egyptian people, so he stuffed a bottle of magical Chinese-style oil on the hawker.

Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo walked towards the huge pyramid with one step at a time. The Khufu pyramid was 146.5 meters high, and the years passed, it was a bit bald, and it is now 136.5 meters high. The tower body was made of 2.3 million pieces of stone of 1.5 to 160 tons of size, and one of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World" that took 30 years to complete.

In the long years of more than 4,000 years before the completion of the Eiffel Tower in Paris in 1889, the Great Pyramid of Khufu has always been the tallest building in the world. Let Nalan Seqi and Yunluo think about the era more than 4,000 years ago. At that time, our ancestors Yao, Shun and Yu were still giving in, and the ancient Egyptians had already begun to centralize power.

He didn't know how to use wheels, so he started using the Nile River to transport stones and build racks to play. The creator of this legend was Comrade Khufu, the second generation of the Fourth Dynasty of the Ancient Egyptian Kingdom. When it comes to Khufu, he must mention his wife Snevru's snefe. This old man created the Fourth Dynasty and pushed the royal power to the peak, and had power and money.

He started to worry about gains and losses and racked his brains to live another five hundred years, and built a pyramid in a crazy way, intending to open up the two meridians of heaven and earth. The old man's creativity changed the pyramid of the previous dynasty and built the Medumu Pyramid near the Fayum oasis al-fa-fa-subtitle. The huge weight made the Medumu Pyramid collapse.

Snifru soon continued his efforts in Dehshur dahshur, more than ten kilometers south of Saqqara, Segara, and began to pile up stones at an inclination angle of 54 degrees. Half of it found that it was likely to be too high and unstable to continue, so he corrected the inclination angle to 43 degrees. Finally, he built a curved pyramid up to 105 meters.

The old man was unhappy when he was still hot and built another pyramid two or three kilometers away while he was still hot. He used 43 degrees conservatively and successfully built the red pyramid as high as 105 meters. The perfectionists finally determined this form of construction.

Like a father, like a son. His son, Hu Fu, is better than a blue one, and has created such a big thing for himself. What’s amazing is that there is no mummy in it, and even Aunt Mu doesn’t have it.

Two centuries ago, tourists could climb to the top of the tower at will, sit on the spiral of the tower, drink the Turkish coffee sent by their servants, and guide the lively and prosperous Cairo under their feet. Yunluo was infinitely eager for the martial arts world in the steam engine era. Now Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo can only stop at the entrance of the passage leading to the interior of the mausoleum.

In the early 8th century, Caliph Maimun, the ruler of the Abbas Dynasty, coveted the treasures in the tomb, and burned and chiseled such a hole, and finally returned empty-handed. It was only in the 1980s that it began to open to the public. It was limited to the daily sales. The tomb passage was small, so tourists had to bow in and finally entered the Khufu funeral room, empty and had nothing.

Another downward legend is that the tomb passage leading to the queen's tomb chamber is not open. With millions of huge rocks on his head, the bright tomb chamber is still claustrophobic. Despite the powerful exhaust equipment, the air is still dirty. Thinking about the legendary vicious pharaoh's curse, Nalan Seqi and Yun Luo stayed in a panic.

After leaving the tomb. Swaying around the pyramid, an old Egyptian man came straight to Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo. "Two masters, please ask you." He pulled Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo and rushed to his camel, without saying what to invite Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo. Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo knew that there was a tiger costume in the mountain and were crazy and frantically going to the tiger mountain.

How could an old man do the two men, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo in broad daylight? The old man quickly formed two headscarves from behind, wrapped them around Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo's heads, then lowered the camel and hugged Yunluo and hugged them up. He was very experienced in picking up a suitable angle from a distance to take photos of Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo.

Nalan Seqi and Yunluo also cooperated and smirked all the way. They were posing in the 1990s stone scissors cloth. After they finished the trouble, they said to the old man, "Old man, it's getting late, let's go home." "Okay, give the money first. There are sixty dollars in total." The old man's conscience was very bad. "Isn't it free?" Let's pretend to be stupid to the end.

"Photo taken for free, and the camels are charged", "Okay, there are five dollars in total, come down first and then pay." "No, give money first and then go down", argued with the chicken and the chicken. After a long argument, Yun Luo put down first, Yun Luo said, "This guy is back home with you, you can raise it, go first." The old man looked at Yun Luo with a smile.

Xiaoqiang, a kite, turned over and landed steadily on the ground from the camel. Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo brother climbed rock, climbed ice, skiing, and climbed for so many years. He could not be too low-key. He allowed him to see Lingbo Weibu Huaguo Kung Fu. The old man was stunned when he saw it. Yunluo gave him five beautiful swords to comfort him, "Egypt likes it very much!"

The old camel beside him loyally protected the master and grinned at Nalan Seqi and Yunluo.

The two deep pits to the east of Khufu are sunship pits. The original site of the sunship museum was built on the south. It was designed by an Italian in 1982. The modernist artistic style is incompatible with the surrounding environment, which seriously eliminated the ** of Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo's entry.

There is also a pyramid of his youngest son Khephren to the south of Khufu. The tower is 136 high and the small pyramid is not yet bald. The Great Pyramid era gradually declined.

Yun Luo couldn't help but have the undestroyed literary and artistic feelings at the foot of the Menkawula Pyramid, wrapped it in his handkerchief and put it in his arms. He hoped that the soul of ancient Egypt would also be carried. Follow the scenic spot and go south. He really couldn't walk where he could take photos of the family portraits of his grandparents and grandchildren.

Thesphinx is near the east gate of the scenic area. It is 22 meters high and 57 meters long. One ear of the statue is 2 meters high. Except for the lion's claw, the entire statue is carved from a piece of natural rock. Sphinx has been there for more than four thousand years, faithfully guarding the Great Pyramid.

There were crowds of tourists from all over the world, and there were also groups of children who came to take history classes, warmly greeting Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. The sphinx, which is said to be based on Hafra, is not as big as expected, and is seriously corroded. The noseless Sphinx looked ahead.

The focus light fell in the distance of nothingness, and Egyptian nationalists blamed Napoleon indiscriminately, completely ignoring the tourism benefits brought to the Egyptian people by the "Egyptianology" he brought to the scholars.

Standing in the wilderness and looking back at the pyramid, under the golden sunset, the golden desert, and the ancient pyramid, it seems to be made of pure gold. From a distance, the sky and the earth are yellow and golden, with dazzling colors, such a wide and majestic painting!

That charming golden color melts you into a magical realm, fills you with heroic feelings, causes endless imagination, and involuntarily creates a kind of nostalgic thoughts, making you feel as if you were in the prosperous era of ancient Egypt, and produces all kinds of wonderful illusions and associations.

When I woke up in a trance, everything disappeared, only the pyramid still stood in the sunset. After all, what appeared in front of Yun Luo was a realistic and equally confusing world.

The east gate of the scenic area is a village called nazletas-samaan. Most of the people in this village make a living by renting horses and camels. The management here does not seem to be very strict. You can enter without tickets everywhere. You can rent an Arabian horse here and experience the feeling of the Arab Lawrence leaping on horseback.
