(They looked fondly to 4500 years, will always be looked on.
）In 1964, the archaeologist in Egypt Saqqara (Sakala) tombs near the step pyramid of discovering a new Tomb.
And previously discovered numerous ancient tomb, which consists of several components of the Tomb Chamber already stand at burglary before, apart from the remnants of several murals, no matter. However it is that several murals, the archaeologists into great confusion. Because the mural paintings are unprecedented, two men who behave abnormally intimacy.Paintings of two men, or sitting or standing, or goujiandabei, or you've hit the jackpot.
Their arm, nose to nose, eyes, making it harder to poor rehu didn't mouth bit mouth. http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/4a7a28d9010006wrWhat are they? why are so close to? what exists between them?
Tomb of the text indicates that this is two married men of his tomb.
They called NIANKH KHNUM, another called KHNUM HOTEP, 2380, b.c. to 2320 years b.c., ancient Egypt, the fifth dynasty King Niuserre Palace's Chief manicurist. To close to the King and Queen of grooming modification, was a respectable and yearning of noble professions, and of course also explains the two men in the social status of unusual. In ancient Egypt, the two men as they like his, such an approach is extremely rare. Typically only after the death of the husband and wife are buried together, fresco and husband and wife during his lifetime of everyday life scenes. Although the two men have their own wives and children, but archaeologists have not found in the catacombs and wife stood with horizontal picture.First explore the tomb of archaeologist Mounir Basta speculate they are brothers, perhaps or twins.
This opinion was accepted by most people. However, with the development of the homosexual movement was in full swing, in recent years, a bold and very challenging perspectives has predominated, that is, the two men gay relationships exist between.Holding this view of the representative is Greg Reeder, one living in San Francisco independent scholars, Egypt art history magazine editing of the KMT.
"Gay" is from ancient Egypt art on the opposite-sex couples to describe classes. Because in the identified Egypt tomb mural, two touch opposite-sex couples clearly convey a love and sex, and believe the murals make this relationship continued in the next life, so Reeder and his supporters believe that involves the two men were of similar scenes have the same meaning, then made them might be gay.Reeder reminder of the two Kiss men's most intimate scenes.
Manifestations of this scene of mural is located in the vault the innermost sacrifice room. He said: "the distance between them is so near, not only face veneer face, nose to nose, even the waistband on flowers and all touch a piece .... If the picture is a pair of opposite-sex couples but not same sex partners, then we it to convey meaning is above reproach. ”2005 December 19-20 March, United Kingdom-Wales Swansea University organized a name of "ancient Egypt of sex and gender" seminar, from New York University Professor David O'Connor and made a new insight that will surround the relationship between the two men and promoting the debate.
He thought the frescoes in the two men are Siamese twins. Despite his own hypothesis also gives the explanation, but the vast majority of attendees were fierce opposition. Because most notably their relationship does not physically linked from murals reflect, on the contrary, the tomb and the two men separate from the solitude of the mural.Although David O'Connor finally resume his hypothesis, but passionate on the Symposium attracted wide attention from the outside world.
Two ancient Egypt zangmu, men in unknown more than 40 years before the media found out where the value of the "news". Global number of important media are made: the United States to the New York Times story entitled "hold in the eternal embrace of secrets" (A Mystery, Locked in Timeless Embrace); the United Kingdom the Sunday Times "of the title seems more sensational," Wow, this is the history is recorded in the first lesbian kiss? "(Mwah ... is this the first recorded gay kiss?) even the Chinese media are followed up, of course, is this a few months later. Do not believe, and Baidu.In view of his tomb on the relationship between the two men are still controversial, I published the article, use a more broad and inclusive "lesbianism" instead of "gay" as a title.
These differences, the members concerned to slowly realize it.Because of this tomb of address in Sakalava stepped pyramid, the pyramid of the tour when dropped in the field of this quite romantic vaults, seems to be a trip of righteousness.
(Pyramid in the desert?)
Pays a huge dead Pharaohs tomb-pyramid, the original is not our first day in Cairo's development agenda.
Former genius in the Siwa back to Alexander's overnight train on tough a hostel, afterwards run a exhausting day, you don't have a good sleep, mentally and physically afraid is not resistant to this, since it is not very early. The author of in accordance with ctrip leoosl in his travels in Egypt, "" rush, into the pyramid internal visitors ticket rather experienced to late also can't buy, so preoccupied with the several attractions in the city around.Akram Inn that promote in narrow kitchen-cum-restaurant while enjoying a light breakfast (bread, tea, jam, margarine, eggs), two copies of the guide book-related content and review it again.
Tour route is long design well, and the vast majority of the donkey, natural to want to go out of our recent, is located in the liberation square side of Egypt National Museum.Line will be finished when the last night saw the Korea woman asleep, hair from her room, and sat down next to me seems unconcerned, greeting kitchen boy to her and get something to eat.
Dude one side when preparing her face, in turn, like just to see us at me and burden lazily hit Hello, "Morning". “Morning”。 I politely back to greetings."You are going to go today?"
The "Museum.
”"Oh, is this a good look.
Yesterday I went in there for 5 hours. ”"Right, stay so long.
"In fact, I was not surprised. There's the ctrip several authors say they feel on the inside to stay a day is too short, for example, the quail, "Museum ran ran down a whole day, ... Edge edge of realism eating a sandwich of Pharaoh Queen statue and his remarkable beauty of the unfinished portrait, ... Experience only one: don't come to Egypt! "as they look so carefully, for us, I'm afraid too extravagant, my plan is prepared in it for three hours, 9 points, 12 points out, so before you won't miss the other attractions of the tour."You have been to have the pyramids?"
"Yet, tomorrow.
”"Today to? we can together private, sharing fare.
”"Now, ...
It seems a bit late. "I never imagined she would put forward the suggestion, I falter a bit. "We are going to visit the pyramids, heard in tickets to late to not buy. ”"You are not afraid of Pharaoh's curse?" she smiled.
I certainly know the "curse of the Pharaoh," what's the matter, the author of several ctrip, such as "big cat" and "yvonne26" and "Natasha" and "Molly_Molly", it will always remain at the beginning of the beginning, no end of travel seems to have caught the curiosity of the reader.
However, I prefer to believe that they want to do too much, there's no time to write travels, not really was what killed. After all, not everyone will like this, attentively gogoboyz and lose a couple of months of my spare time, earnestly really for everyone to contribute an article on detailed, historically accurate historical data of million words long article. Of course, the narcissism and pretentious "thousandth"."I want to draw on the point of the pyramids.
"I smile."Well?" She stared previously been flirting with the eyes.
"You know?" these things I don't like to listen to, you know how much Ah. I'm too lazy to pay her, put his hands in the last piece of bread into his mouth, and stood up. "Sorry, we have to go. I hope you enjoy yourself. ”"Wish you enjoy yourself.
"She samsam said in my back.Egypt national museums Akram Inn is located off of the building is also a stone's throw.
We walked around and looked curiously day Cairo, suddenly from the side of the fork out an old man wearing a robe will we stopped."Hello, my friend.
"His arms in English-I cried. He had to do, because the next street is in a lot of friends in the "crazy" and "confusion" and other notorious for its turbulent flow of Cairo. But on his hypocrisy hug I dodged."Hello," I'm back to English.
After all, is a tourism developed countries, particularly in Cairo, whether young or old, open rental seems to be some discussion on it, and I later English go to Iran is obviously not the same."Japan?"
"The Chinese people.
"This is usual, mistaken me numb."Oh, Chinese! Chinese are we Arabs brothers, I love the Chinese people.
"These things I have heard a lot, go around and they'll get the same thing to the person who said that Japan Korea on again, so I'm calm."You are going to the pyramids, sitting in my car?" he looked behind him, the roads pointed to.
I look over and see more than a car parked there, are not a luxury car. Several people, it looks like they are drivers, are there for a business. This road just next to the Museum, from liberation square side of KFC in the direction towards the Museum over the third turning on your left, to make the trip to the pyramid of friends to this finding. Never in the Road stopped the car owner doesn't allow it, is very dangerous."Go to JISA, Sakala, Shure, Memphis four local?" and I didn't tell him I don't want to go today and, just before the pyramids ask a price; touch market.
In fact, on a minibus to pyramids tour prices before has seen many ctrip, however, the gap is relatively large.
For example, the "slacking off" and went to Egypt in 2002, "... In the street and take a taxi, package tour tomorrow day pyramid 100 EGP (subsequently informed that ripped off). "At the beginning of 2003 to the TDG" ... Go to Saqqara and Dashur 50 EGP package half day almost four hours. Finally gave him $ 55, "2004 go hujiejing, hotel set in the" small broken car "(should be van), seven individuals crowded, EGP 35 per person. Another author "Nana", 04, "seven packages a day to Giza and Saqqara and Memphis, Dashur40 El/person, but the normal price is also a car 100-150 El day. "Xcst821, 20054 months to go, "... On your way out of this car tomorrow pyramid, brother asking price 100LE, hotel boss, 150LE low a lot, we all forgot a counter-offer. ", But later they drive a" brother suddenly Lion large opening, a tip to 50, "they at CBC," truth gave 50 ", so count with a total of 150. Rea, 2005, "... Introduction of car, the hotel cannot be regarded as unreasonable price: LE90/taxi, return before 16: 00, four places, also an I originally did not consider Memphis. "It seems a reasonable price that is 90 ~ 150 Egyptian pounds. The national geographic in Egypt, says that private price is 25-30 dollars, this is the price of the last century (the book is written in those days). The end of the hands and feet gweilo ' is more than our generous."You give me a price.
”"80?" my prior possession of the minimum price and to push the pressure.
"What?! you get wrong.
Go to the trip to the airport is 40 Emmanuel pounds to go the distance and to JISA airport is the same, let alone go to Memphis, Sakala, Shure, you only give me two trips to the airport of money? ""You say?" and I remember that ctrip author leoosl did in 2004, travels, from Cairo airport taxi to downtown fare price is 40 Emmanuel pounds/car.
Old man seems quite logical."150.
"Exactly I can accept the bottom line of psychology."No longer little?"
"No longer.
I am a science, not deceive you. ”Coptic? I immediately think of today are going to visit is a popular science region, also known as "old Cairo".
Remembering kopt seems to be a religious belief, there is also and what ordinary people in Egypt are not the same? see me some puzzled looks, he concurred, pointed means don't left on a small badge, then just pass me the solution down. In fact, I can see something."Why?" the old man.
"I want to go inside the pyramids, now it's too late, fear is the ticket.
”"Do you want to go inside the pyramids? no later that the tickets are expensive, not how many people to buy.
Now you can buy a ticket. ”"Really?" and I know into Khufu's ticket is 100 EGP, really expensive.
"Oh, you are not going to the pyramid, and the why of grinding mill mumbled.
"I never imagined burden impatient, while eyeing focus has asked.OMG! I and her understanding of time together but also two days only, even with this tone on a basic strange men also jammed! actually in this short space of two days of exposure, I feel that this woman is not able to control who is strong, it is not surprising that her BF will stretch her sulk in Alexandria that break away in the hotel are strange and I am! "and had compassion, got yourself in such a cumbersome.
I like didn't hear, continue to ask the Coptic old man, "are you really sure that time to also be able to buy into the pyramid tickets?"
"I guarantee that if you can not buy, I can lose you 50 pounds.
You can save money and then went to a pyramid. ”I don't have much time to run two ghosts, but to see him back promise of, and look at the burden that face extremely impatient look of these ideas,
"Okay, go to rent your car.
"Something out of the mouth, but a bit routong. First listen to the Korea women not province that several child. But to a man's dignity and I have to point out the blood, that burden is really know what the surname!"Hey, I rushed aboard!" shouted the burden.
She turned to clearly somewhat.
"You can't go to the Museum today?"
"The old man to Valence cheap, a rare opportunity.
Go. "I hold the gas, and clenched teeth.Although somewhat confusing burden and puzzled, but still wants to climb behind me in the car.
Who let her speak half sentence of foreign languages, apart from me you even!From the city's Liberation square, take a taxi to Giza area takes approximately 25 minutes.
I do not know what drivers of road, traffic jam on the way not suffer. On each side of the road should also be able to see the whole areas of farmland, and some of the messy, exposed red brick houses constitute zhongjin, Giza on the far end of the stands in the field, with their simple and without losing the sense of beauty, simplicity is full of Majesty of geometric lines, the modern people's material desire growing Sunglass more ugly. These years the pace of Cairo city expansion quickly, even this piece of land, just in the car window Flash briefly, quickly taxi and drilling in a crowded street, then out, we've arrived at sphinx statue in front of the resort entrance.Attraction of the gate is a midsize car park, opposite the variety of tourist shops, a KFC and Pizza Hut up and down together also sideways, it is said that from their restaurant window you can see the night pyramid sound and light show.
Driver man parked in front of a tea house, and we arranged to leave for up to 12 o'clock, then set into tea room to rest.We strolled to the ticket office.
From the inside, the entire Giza area feels likeAn unfinished city parks, there is a highway, there is a square, there is a large sandstone and naked is no real sense of the desert. Previously in tourist brochures, postcards, see pyramids stand in long yellow sand, extremely rich in historical vicissitudes, but that really just photographers with their lens carefully create a scam. They ran to the far west of the pyramid, lost the details of the Highlands in the lens and the admission only some undulating contours, pretend you are really the desert; but from a specific perspective go together, the three pyramids is in close proximity of the town shelter passerby, give you a pyramid in the vast desert of illusion in solitary.Some may not agree with this view, such as the call Cherry Kitty of ctrip author, extremely provocative stroke wrote, "...
I'm the first to carry the West Nile, ... Far from city noise of the desert in a passage in time laments the gap in life. ”I didn't her vision was so high, but I have just returned from Siwa's desert back, confident there are reasons to say over rough gravel stone JISA heights is not desert.
Even the national geography of Egypt "is funny to say," ... In fact the Cairo city suburb has been extended to the Sphinx of the soles of the feet. If this beast will feel hunger, it just put out a foot, from around the House is arranged into rows of foreign pizza House grab to enough food. ”We arrived at the time is 8: 40, really is too early, very scenic tourist.
Tickets for students 20 pounds, two years doubled? I remember ctrip author leoosl in his 2004 book of travels in say is 10 El pounds. But even so, there are still better than any one of the world heritage in China by many cheaper tickets.Into the door you find in the street a smashed into rows into columns of the Chair, this is probably the Auditorium in the evening light show.
Across the road opposite the auditorium is the Sphinx as Valley in front of the Temple (Valley of the temples) site, with the exception of some boulders on the beams and pillars, statues and murals are not, however, this is go to the Sphinx of.Out from the temple, is a scenic side road, Sphinx is silent and proud over our right, sideways, face a pair of researchers all expression.
Thousands of years of past years is the reason it is so proud of. Since its arrival on our attention, we have no reason to stay here. Moreover, so close, it is difficult to find a suitable photo camera angle. We also saw shaft on its feet between the famous Tuthmosis, who walked into the look a look, but found out that there is no place for it! is the Sphinx is available only from standing at a look? "can be seen in the following we smashed in step with the aisle, don't just give archaeologists and maintenance staff dedicated?Exasperated, we had to make a left.
Walking down the aisle side of the road, that will come out from the back to the highway, but the end before they saw a ring fence retaining that mercilessly blocking our way forward. Discovered that Sphinx here is separate to the surrounding a attractions. Had to fold back the same way back again after the evacuation of the Valley of the temples has nothing to do, which is returned to the scenic highway traversing JISA.Wide asphalt surface road has been built at the foot of the pyramid, the pyramid from hufu large and Kevlar pyramid between the vertical wear.
Pyramid appears to have been within reach, then it is because it is too big, but really to its feet is still a not near. We went all the way, the heart does not like an author allen119 ctrip said "in flight", on the contrary, for fear that the great pyramid of tickets are sold, like some urgent that discrimination not sleepwalk, things up. There are several visible side of the dilapidated House and a gatekeeper, thinking that it is selling tickets, go past ask what is not, a few old dynasty Hall tomb and enjoy. Inside the case and Sphinx in front of the temple, nothing to see. The gatekeeper of the pointing to return to the correct direction, from the three princesses of the pyramids and the great pyramid on a cross between Avenue, discover visitors rarely, is secretly chuckle himself arrived earlier, then turned to the North of the great pyramid, a slip of the Lamb, the tourist bus is xuxiyidai, hundreds of tourists had already checked out, Ant in Tower Climb climbing down on them and the history of mankind's greatest architectural touch dream into reality.The original Giza area in this head is also a portal, we have come and not earlier.
But go out JISA scenic, I think the correct sightseeing routes or from Sphinx there began early in the morning, take a few pictures when taking pictures, you have seen from the side of the pyramids and then off to see the Sphinx, you find that no large scenic already overcrowded.Khufu's ticket at the edge of a cottage for sale, there are several car next to like mobile toilets, then past that surround the walls of the building is the seat of the Museum the old pyramid menlian, guide book that it rarely open, there is nothing to see, we just can't be bothered to ask, advanced pyramid.
Surprisingly, the ticket office before do not see any tickets.
Could that be sold out of it and we hung up, the results proved just a false alarm. Although the time has arrived here is 9 points, we still wish to buy a ticket. 100 EGP/half-human, student, just 50. We spend 100 Yuan "buy" to the student card when using the top, it's clear that in order to visit the attractions expenditures by 50 El pounds, the mind is its own and can thus earn 50, with this spiritual victory q, we also law does not feel that this ticket is very expensive, some people routong.Into the Interior of the entrance to the pyramid above the ground, about 7 and 8 metres, people who are exposed to the pyramid of the huge stone chisel out of stone steps, Louisa was always can thus go to the cave where
。 This is a short distance is today the only allows visitors to the pyramid of climbing areas. From other local climbing pyramid is severely prohibited. This is probably more are based on the safety of tourists, rather than the needs of conservation. Khufu has the equivalent of a 40-story height, the appearance of no protection facilities, it is said that the past had visitors in climbing the process from above fall break tragedy, so don't let up. As regards the prohibition, since when it was impossible.Close contact with the pyramid, we see the stone surface rough stones and stones among larger gaps.
And we've been informed that the pyramid textbooks construction does not use any adhesive, completely on machining precision seamless stuffing of rocks, stones-combination of closely it is said that even the sheet of paper is inserted into. In fact, there's nothing wrong with textbooks, we are seeing is only the situations of the outermost of the pyramid, for thousands of years of Sun and rain wind plus the sabotage, already destroyed it would have been perfect appearance. Only after entering the pyramid internal, textbook says will be confirmed.One thing to note, that this pyramid remaining surface layers of cascade, but unlike some smattering of travel writers, is caused by weathering.
The reason is simple, pyramid 100 metres high, according to the common sense it wind load to the top than the bottom wind load for large multiple (or not you are a 40-story building of top and bottom respectively open window try), if fully due to weathering, you should be at the top of the smooth surface of the pyramids was eroded. But in fact we see the pyramid Hough la situation is pyramid to the top of the smooth surface.In fact, until the 12th century, the Arab scholar Abd al-Latif in his writings have also mentioned that the basic pyramid surface JISA also remained the same, just like today, we are up to in-see "bending" pyramid; 1546, visited Egypt in European traveler Pierre Belon also said that time JISA third pyramid (Mun Koala pyramid) intact as just completed.
However Abd al-Latif also mentioned that he was at that time, the rulers of Egypt has already begun from the Tower body and the subsidiary offering the temple excavated from the stones to build the Cairo Palace and mosque of the city. This is accompanied by the development of Cairo, 1639, Oxford University astronomers John Greaves observed Hough la pyramids still holds the fundamental good of three sides, and the year of France in 1692, Egypt's consular Benoit de Maille observed Hough la pyramid were the "stripping" a we see today. In short, this pyramid layer formation of cascade surface, mainly anthropogenic factors. The national geographic of Egypt also mentioned the great Saladin had ordered his men to remove from the pyramid stone built his castle.Leads to the entrance to the pyramid inside a more high, irregular shape that it is not reserved for the construction of the time, and the original entry is later in the external action were forced open.
Truly original entry is located in the pyramid of the cave above near the stone of the 13th floor, surface 20 metres high, 4 blocks Chevron placed enormous stone arches, very visible, but has been sealed. The original entry is self built when exposed, I have no idea, but should not, otherwise the year 820, the ruler of Egypt al-Mamun (mamon) would not have ordered his men in other areas broached today we enter the irregular cave.Caliph mamon · present · Harlan · Rashid is ' making Baghdad Abbas dynastic ruler of Egypt at the time of its territory.
He had listened to the pyramids internal possession of the treasure of the rumors, the excavation team sent to Egypt. But mining team in pyramid for few days, have not found any entrance. So they had to take forcibly sinking of means to enter inside the pyramid. The Arabs did not grasping gunpowder technology, ordinary iron solder lang top tools are insufficient to deal with hard pyramid. Finally they came up with a trick, fire Tower, burned to a certain degree and then poured on to the stone to stone cold vinegar, then suddenly crisp pine, cracking, relying on this method, they are difficult to dig out of about 100 feet, and finally open the original channel inside the pyramids. They left the cave is also so called "entrance" mamon, to distinguish them from the original entrance to the pyramid.As for the original entrance to the pyramid is being opened, my online search, the results point to a hairless by Xinhua News Agency reporters Tang shizeng book-"I got into the pyramids".
In the book he wrote, "... Although the original entrance Khufu 1881 by archaeologists Howard · Levis (Howard Vyse) open, until a century later in the summer of 1989, is open to the public for the first time, tickets each 20 EGP (RMB 60 kg), the reporter of fare. ”If I am not mistaken, he mentioned that Howard Vyse, should be the full named Richard William Howard Vyse's United Kingdom military officers to take blasting means to explore the pyramid and is remembered in history.
South slope of the great pyramid (i.e. solar sailing Museum side) may also have a large bombed out of the pit, is his masterpiece. However this time poets as 1784-1849, that is, Tang shizeng's pen, the Howard Vyse died 28 years after the original entrance opened pyramids, said of the absurd.Marmon's hands is recorded into the pyramid inside secrets of the first group of people, but they are not found in the pyramid inside a legendary treasure.
This gave the already possessed mysterious pyramids more to add suspense.To visit the pyramids are not allowed to carry cameras, found quite strict.
But small camera as long as the reservoir of good bands in should be no problem. My camera is relatively large, natural persons are being detained in a nearby without custodyPlace, but to separate and burden.Because we are not from the original entrance, so actual visitors see it and in many books to see some of the pyramid diagram.
The profile to tell us, from Chevron entrance into a downward slope to 28 degrees, up to 100 meters of the channel, it through Tower bottom rock Kiri a stone room. While we own "mamon" entrance entry, first along the horizontal direction a few metres away, turned a corner and came to the narrow entrance Corridor low rise, and has not been what the downward channel. Climb the corridor, a tall and wide large corridor. Large end of the corridor is a small platform, and a low door, Sucre is a large room, a dilapidated stone in the Middle, this is the legendary "hufu funeral chamber". Pyramid internal treasures also ends here. As for the profile in the callout in some other places such as the "Queen of the funeral chamber", underground stone room, five-storey decompression chamber, etc. are now no longer open. http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/4a7a28d9010006yh"The funeral chamber" hufu four corner points under the fluorescent lights, but even then still light and dark.
Standing on the inside, although with a five-or six-metre high ceiling, but still let people out of the top supremely pressure brought on by stress and panic. We listened, and ears of the sound coming from the air flow, it turned out, the original corner a few fans something like that, it is said that is installed in Germany invested fan every 45 minutes to the Tower of air for a time. But even so, the pyramid of the air is still making people feel dirty oppressed, as ctrip author leoosl said, "go back feels like in sauna". Tang shizeng in the I got into the pyramids "said," ... While I was at this time, sitting on the large Khufu belly, breathing the air, 5000 years ago ... ", then it is his sentimentality.The room is approximately 40 square meters of space, so that people cannot help but wonder, in such a small place can hold Pharaoh and his funerary? you know history without famous little King-sakaltutan scammon's Tomb, and a variety of baby full piled up three Tomb, the great as hufu Pharaoh, his funerary and several passages to full? we enter "hufu funeral chamber," channel is very narrow and low, hunched over in order to enter, it can be used to describe the dog hole, the huge stone of and how he placed enters? even though you can assume that the sarcophagus at the funeral chamber CAP is placed in front, the sarcophagus lid also runs go?
Pyramid unsolved mysteries concerning too many too many, even in some of the most fundamental issues, such as the construction of ancient Egypt people why? how to build the pyramids? when construction? ...
And so on, and so far people are unable to obtain exactly the same.Do you have a news agency, 4 December 2006, the latest braided hair, talking about United Kingdom the times December 1 reported, France's National Centre for aeronautical and huge professors and United States Philadelphia Drake plug amount, Professor at the University of basom, published this month in the United States ceramic society journal published an article saying that the upper part of the pyramids are the formation of artificial pouring concrete.
"Placement" is actually not what new perspectives, France chemists David · du service as early as the 1970s would have proposed, he even made a very convincing evidence: taken from the pyramid stone, he discovered a wisp of about 1 inch long hair, the only possible explanation is that the workers in this thread when the hair fell into the concrete, would not have survived. Past the mainstream view is entirely built by craftsmen builders of the pyramids, new research findings on this tradition is a severe challenge.Since Napoleon era and the rise of the "Egypt", since 200 years and progress of science and technology means not only failed to wipe away the pyramid above the shrouded in mystery, but it keeps the pyramids of trapped in a vicious circle, that is, the more people learn, confusion and controversy.
The pyramids of myriad theory and ideas can be overwhelming, endless, pyramid research areas, and therefore became a science and pseudoscience conflict one of the most intense battlefield. One of the most famous, is at the beginning of this article, I mentioned the "curse of the Pharaoh" and "pyramid".The so-called "Pharaoh's curse", referring to the legendary medieval Emperor mausoleum in Egypt are inscribed with the saying, "whoever entered the Holy Tomb, who will soon be the death of the patronage".
It is said that "the curse of the Pharaoh," was first discovered in the tomb of tutankamen, even the scholars of the author of the lost civilization · Egypt "(East China Normal University Press) have adopted this statement. This is misinformation about, if there is a haven of tutankamen afterlife, also known as much for their grievances. Archaeologists are not found in the tomb of tutankamen legends that famous curse, pyramid and other Pharaohs tomb is not found in it, because that sentence is being contrived.The discovery of the tomb of tutankamen at that time there was a great sensation of news is thrown.
It is a science and it is still very underdeveloped in the 1960 's, information dissemination, mainly relying on newspaper and they to sensationalism, often unwarranted manufacturing some sensational to attract the public eye. Archaeologist in a statue of the Holy Anuruddha Bissell found on the following words, "is my block yellow sand secret rooms and buried it. I am responsible for the protection of the deceased ". But soon there are silly journalists for their words, "I will kill those who violate the eternal life of the Holy Land of Pharaohs." March 1923, a man named Mari Corelli (Mary Mackay) novelist first published a warning that the person who entered the Tomb will face serious consequences. This is probably because Howard Carter (the discoverer of the tomb of tutankamen) open the vaults of the day, he kept a pet Canary is a Cobra devours. And Cobra in ancient Egypt's belief in the God of Pharaoh. Just a few weeks of April 23, Carter's funders CarnarvoN count died of pneumonia in Cairo. He died on the night of the Cairo suddenly blackout (reason not identified so far), the entire city lights no; he remained in England's pet dog susie, also baffled to howl a day later, at the same time mysterious death. The Earl of Carnarvon immediately make media into death of unprecedented mania, even the famous novelist Conan · Dorr (author of "Sherlock Holmes") also believed that his death may be the true and the "curse of the Pharaoh."Crazy zhuangshennonggui adverse media even editing out a list of claims that there are 26 and tutankamen professionals concerned with the Tomb found in this tomb died after 10 years, thus rendering the "curse" of the Pharaoh.
This is nonsense, because of the discovery of the tomb of tutankamen, explore the host of the famous archaeologist Howard Carter is the discovery of the tomb after 16 years before he died at the age of 64. But then a tomb slept feel guard, Richard Adamson is live to the last century 80 's to the old dies at age 81."Pyramid" is among the first to be interested in super natural science of France were Anthony · bowei found.
He last century to the 1930s, during the visit to the pyramids of Egypt when he found some small animals such as much of his body, strange though pyramid air sultry humidity, these animal carcasses are not rotten, but is "the Mummy". He immediately associate this may and pyramid shape and structure, their return he used cardboard a proportionately reduce the pyramid model, by placing the original orientation of the pyramids, a cat's body was placed in the central axis distance from the bottom 1/3 high place, namely, the location of the funeral chamber hufu. Results after a few days, he found that the cat's body also "mummies". Next he used the sliced meat and eggs, and other organic to be experimental, drew a similar result, then will he find publicly available.A study of bowei caused a Czechoslovak radio engineer of a Dubail's attention, he repeated the experiment kubovy and have achieved a consistent result.
Then he put the blade Tower and found more sharp blades. On this basis, he invented the "Pharaoh grinder" and apply for a patent, in the Czech widely sold in the shop, in Western Europe, the Soviet Union, the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries are also very popular. 1970 Dubail and others coauthored the behind the scenes of the incredible discovery of iron "published, the book brings together he could" pyramid "of a series of articles, from here in the West, a unit of" pyramid ".According to the "pyramid" enthusiasts "research", "could" not only can the pyramid food to keep fresh not rot, but also to ease the fatigue of the body, for the treatment of some such as headache, insomnia, arthritis, hypertension, and other small little suffering from diseases, restoration of the vitality of the human body, prolong life of youth, and so on.
In short, in their view, the "pyramid" seems like a good thing to do anything. Despite the opposition of the "pyramids", its inconsistency "pseudoscience" voice is also very much on the "pyramid" research to date but still is in the ascendant.(Pyramid can be true or false)
I now stand in the legendary "pyramid can" bring together local-hufu funeral chamber, given that blow it so marvelous, I would certainly rather believe and do not believe its free.
A rare opportunity, I intend to stay here head for a while, but don't want to have a Japan tours drill. The influx of ten individuals so that it does not seem large room was cramped, huai noise's Twitter spoil my quiet, air seems to have become oppressed many. I think this place is too long, they turned to drill out.Out with the crowd around the pyramids walk in a circle, go to the pyramids of the Sun sailing South of the Museum (Solar Boat Museum).
This was built in 1982 by the opening of the Museum, Italy's design has a white shape of modernist style, and the surrounding landscape looks very inconsistent. Tickets for students is EGP 20. Burden at the Museum, he says not interested, so I own buy tickets go look. Into the Museum to have a security doors, wearing a shoe covers in order to enter the exhibition hall. Showroom in addition to the real solar boat, there is also a proportionately smaller boats, some solar boat found and excavated in historical photos, you can also see the original bury solar boat Boat Pit (solar ship hang) because the Museum is in the pit built on the site.Solar sailing was discovered in 1954, prior to this it has more than 4000 years of sleeping on the ground, keeping the original burial place of the original state.
So the discovery of the solar boat, become in the last century Egypt Archaeology sector is one of the most important discovery. Khufu around five solar boat buried into the pit, but only the pyramids South of two hole found Sun boat. One is the reload, another for heritage conservation considerations still buried in the ground. Solar boat turned out to be broken down into 1224 tablets buried, it took 14 years to reassemble it. Assembled ship 43.4 m long, 5.6 metres wide, displacement of 45 tons. Quite slender hull makes to its stability. Some people think that the solar boat is used to transport the dead Pharaoh, Pharaoh was buried after customs, in accordance with the then, at the funeral of used things to as funerary buried near the dead Pharaoh. However, it was also noted that the ship did not have water, buried in pyramids, out of a religious belief, for Pharaoh afterlife heaven.From the Museum out is 10: 30.
At this point the visitors in the area has many of the original little Princess pyramid above crawls with adults and children, the original of which has a good point of view, you can skew bevel the JISA heights three pyramids while revenues in the lens. We are not on the island, to climb up a few sentries.Then go to Lahav, pyramid, visitors will rarely a lot; the past is the smallest door Koala pyramid, almost no tourists.
A for ctripBy hujiejing in its 2004 travels so wrote, "... Door Carla King pyramid, is the farthest distance, to go to there would have to spend a whole day of work, can only be looked at from a distance. "This statement is too exaggerated! we considered was taken from Khufu that along the way, but also spent half an hour. But to be honest, if not the inside to see that the three pyramids in addition to the size of some distinction, and would be no different. Hujiejing didn't go into it and also talk about her loss. Because even I myself don't know why you want to go to jinqian look a look and feel just like forcing yourself to this mission of a tour. Perhaps I should reach in each pyramid on the press, like the other one called arirang's ctrip author said, "... Touch it with foreign body in writing of the stone, eyes closed, as if ideas also leap back to ancient times and space, witness of a century of human existence and their wisdom. ”？Write here, couldn't help myself laughing uncontrollably.
Yes, more than 40 years ago, lived in the United Kingdom of author and Nobel literature prize winner Naipaul jazz, in its travels the country, the mammoth had sharply pointed out that "the pyramids of Egypt had degenerated into a public toilet"; more than 40 years later, it seems there is still no great change: is full of tourists are free to throw rubbish on the ground of tourism horrifying camel dung piles for JISA Highlands is more like a perilous mined areas instead of scenery; side sky soil tornado blows the dust of confetti and plastic bags, inclusion acrid smell of drowning and animal feces of the tourists were compelled to get loose at; there the police, those most undocumented lanke camel guests have nowhere to hide-by-case basis, the exciting scene compared to our urban management only and, ... In this place I also made some conservationism, sigh a few macro statements of honest on what really do some difficulty. Moreover I go really a bit weary, just absorb "pyramids", seem to me what. In fact, or of the Millennium a sigh of Yu said: well, in the presence of these giants, "... Do not hastily put question marks by deleting, hasty and replace it with an exclamation point or judgment of praise. The history of human civilization is far from before interpretations can be cool so that, when in doubt most Egypt civilization. "Reasoning instead of feeling in a calm and curb impulse, which perhaps is a mature travelers should view tour mentality.(At the foot of the pyramid, garbage everywhere how good conservationism)
Attractions in police very much, it can be said that the three-step a police, five-step one post.
Maintain their dutifully, although the area felt is dirty, but still quite good tourism order. To see the Internet before many people say the pyramids at the foot of the camel guests quite able to kill people, a sticks trouble a lot. For example, the name is the author of ctrip Birdbee in her two years ago travels just wrote, "... We row 7 in 1-bit but resist such temptation on a camel. Say good 20LE, but looks like it is not up to her, in a far away from the pyramids of scarce crowd, she had to be forced to pay above the camels 20 dollars as a condition to return here. I took the camera to capture some local camel riding, after pressing the shutter, also they ran for 10 dollars a tip. ”There is a warning that a fool would take the initiative met with 'em, touting, I politely.
While they watched are very reasonable, and no glib tongue. I heard that I come from China, and is loudly said, "Oh, China, good!" The initiative also assumed a pose for me, and not chasing for tips. Many camel guests are an age old uncle, earning a living is not easy to be truly inscribed in their vicissitudes of gonna fall. I encountered this kind of thing, brothers and sisters is generous, right when the poor. To say our generous, it really is a lot, I just met a scenic camel guests and asked if I was the Chinese. Get a definite answer after he took out a $ 50 denominations, the Renminbi has helped him to redeem it. I was worried that there is a catch, declined. However the RMB pinch in hand didn't feel like it is false. Wondering which one only of the Chinese dude spreeto to this play is to tip, probably no pockets, EGP, convenient to such a man's head. Today's Chinese people is increasingly rich, Ah, in the scenic area on the guisane point experience particularly deep, go hear cordial in Chinese, see guided tour of the small hands waving flag. Plus Japan of Korea, in a sea of yellow face, those blonde white skin Devils were down a marginal decoration.We spent almost half an hour from door Koala pyramid that go back to the resort entrance.
Is 12noon, entrance crowds as Chung, we quickly found driving Coptic old man, nor even eat lunch (it is out of time), directly to the next and most far reaching of a destination in ER (Dahshur) attractions.On the old man asked we have seen how, after feeling the pyramid I lazily answered, "just so so."
Indeed, as the author xcst821 ctrip said, "... JISA pyramids like the great wall of China, great architecture, not to do, to go only to it. ... "I think he was really saying."Went into hufu inside?"
"Into the.
”"100 pounds?"
"Well.
"I didn't tell him he used a false student card. In fact, student card itself is not fake, false is our own. Looks can be parents of the child, but also nerve to go browsing. Or for people to maintain a good image of the point."In fact go inside the pyramids look simply don't spend so much money.
”"Well?"
"Red Pyramid there is a free, inside the room was more than hufu, there are three.
”Hell, why don't you
Early to say Ah, said Yeh savings you half as a tip or Ah, now come on hindsight, what's best.45 minutes later arrived at Dahshur scenic area.
Scenic area there are two columns in volume on Egypt's third largest "bent pyramid" and the fourth largest of the "red pyramid". Because the farther away from urban areas, and there is no convenient means of transport, so the huge attraction in almost no tourists. There was once a military zone, 1996 began opening up, still in the military. That year the Tang (Xinhua)--the hairless drive biting circle would like to come in, "but they all failed, and even ' contrition for life. "(" I got into the pyramids ") tickets are students 10 EGP plus taxi 2 pounds. There is a scenic route directly to the foot of the Red pyramid. http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/4a7a28d9010006yiIs the name of "red pyramid", because it is said that it is a reddish limestone construction, but we watched and the seat of the admission and no difference, all the same ugly Brown.
Because of the pyramid is located away from the crowded desert, and tourists are few management departments also neglects to clean up, wind up at the foot of the pyramid of sand piled old high lower section of the pyramid are already see the lumps of limestone. An entry to the tower are the Central path simply built in these yellow sand.The entrance to the pyramid North Slope, only half of the people, have a Uncle sat looking at.
Although it stands near a written "no photo" notices, but I have a camera slung dress fit climbs, he also did not say anything, the more lenient than the Khufu. And Khufu, Red Pyramid entrance off the ground is quite high, Sucre is a down the long corridor. Upheavals of the pungent smell is the exception, like drilling a Habitat for thousands of bats in caves, almost didn't make my smoked. To this place to absorb the "pyramid", it is not worth the candle. The burden this back with me in, but her prescient. I grin and strong nausea following the end of the corridor, came to the first room, big black darkened. Let the eyes adapt to the darkness, see the other side of the room has a small doors, low drill past to a high of glyphs roof room, rooms on the other side of a scaffold so you climb the third room entrance. The third room and a second room structure, has a tall herringbone roof, but the floor was immersed in the entry below a couple of metres, downhill full stone above, visitors can't go on, only on a wooden bridge.Visit the process I'm the only one who took his camera, naturally do not want to miss this unique opportunity.
However, in this dark Tomb, self-timer, no tripod how rows. Take a look around, not something you can rely on, what happens to this point have to urinate, whimsical, we took out the guy had a dip in the urine, it can be considered to have a Yu, than that on the walls of carved graffiti graffiti also went to many civilizations.The end of the visit, once again after a long corridor into a bright world, breathing the fresh air, it's a kind of in a yanwangdian in return.
This quiet scenic spot actually has two separate tourist bus, watching are also felt in Japan and Korea, lined up in to the tower. I'm glad to come early. Let them hear small statues of urine smell it, believe me very fresh. Hei Hei.Bent pyramid in the southern side of the Red Pyramid, watched a couple of kilometers away, but access to the highway, only a gravel road.
Drivers of old man told me that this road, the traffic is very poor, only the cart can walk past, his Government could not afford to toss. I also believe that a little pity on his car turn left. The car has been out for some distance, and I do like how uncomfortable way of flushing the bent pyramid to a trip, only far a look even if? I'm a little unwilling to turned to distant horizon of bent pyramid and glanced, actually I saw its feet and a car!Damn, old ghosts, dare to play me, also claiming to be honest Coptic.
But I wouldn't also yanjian to and the Tang bald as "invisible seams each lifetime." I'll stop, at a distance he said to him, that's not a car drove past? he looks just shouting, "ok, ok, no problem, no peoblem. Happy, happy you "and then give me the car turned heads, from Red Pyramid side turned into a rough dirt track. The road, although some rough, but not go out in the country than this bad road I ran.A few minutes later the car finally shake it to come to the bent pyramid feet, we can and this giant come to a close contact, carefully watched it save basic good limestone covered surface.
Pyramid a smooth surface not like some users say is put on a layer of plaster or PuTTY, it is in fact composed pieces with a huge pile of limestone tired, but these limestone out of the surface is by design a good angle cutting and grinding into a smooth slope. Because of these limestone cover most well preserved, so that I can see the two side (North and West), there is no place to climbing, station stood. Probably because there is no need to worry about someone climb up, so I haven't seen near the pyramid have police guard.Due to time constraints, I can't walk around the pyramids.
Subsequently, in its South side and a sacrifice to use small pyramid, and the great pyramid pyramids like next to the Princess. The "red pyramid" East of the temple ruins it is said that offering also has a very small "Baby Pyramid". It is actually a whole block cutting better pyramid roof stone, fewer than one, somehow was discarded, broke into pieces, and later by archaeologists will it recover at one side. If you have time to get interested may wish to find.Photo finish photos, and get off at 1: 45 separation.
The next destination is Egypt's first capital city of Memphis, now there is only oneRuins Park, go up to the time-under review has passed. 2: 07 min. Ruins Park is located in a call Mitra hinako's dilapidated village. Besides a lacks arm little legs, lying placed enormous stone and Rameses several stone statues stand, there was hardly any value. But it is said that really valuable so far also buried in the ground below the village, but because the groundwater level is too high, you cannot expand mining work. Although the small park to watch, but not many tourists, mainly European and American tourists. APA's version of the Guide writing road, "visitors are recommended to enjoy the tranquillity of coconut angustifolia surrounding atmosphere, the meditation about power briefly disappeared. "Quiet tranquil?? in this garbage everywhere, chicken flying dog of small village? write books foreigners that cool sense of humor is really impressed me deeply.Stay in half an hour to go Sakala (Saqqara), there is one the most ancient pyramids of Egypt-stepped pyramid, I visit the most care, in the beginning of this article mentions of NIANKH KHNUM and KHNUM HOTEP zangmu of.
We arrived at 3 o'clock, scenic 4 o'clock closed, but Sakala cemetery site may see more than JISA heights, so our time was tensions. Off the car I ran a ticket, the ticket office is next to the car park. In addition to the sale of tickets for the step pyramid, alongside with block brand, description including NIANKH KHNUM and KHNUM HOTEP zangmu, several aristocratic tomb shall charge 20 El pounds.When I put the money in the past few good pass, ticket office staff tells me the noble tombs are maintenance, closed! it was a big blow.
I can do is accept the sentries of the signs a, sorry for yourself, you will want to bequeath to future generations.We at Saqqara left too many regrets that this is because we come before the graveyard is not given due attention, not fully.
In fact, I personally think that the culture of the Sakala site content than JISA scenic area. JISA addition pyramid and a solar sail, a statue of the Sphinx is nothing to see, but in Sakalava here, in addition to the step pyramid, you also can see content-rich old Kingdom era of fresco, its exquisite level in the West Bank of Luxor's aristocracy during the new Kingdom, as well as records of ancient graveyards; Egypt's "Holy cow" worship of serrapi Yong (Serapeum) and so on. But we only could see a stepped pyramid, as well as a Lord's Tomb.Stepped pyramid is located in one of two football fields so bewildered.
It's entrance at a similar walls of tall buildings. It is said that when stepped pyramid built around once around the up to 10 m, total length up to 1645 m walls, but now most of the wall has been compromised, the only entry that short of a segment to exerting their creativity, to imagine 4 thousand years ago it was a grand and spectacular profile.And the tall walls of the entrance is small compared to the disproportionately high, only two people, a metre wide, two people walk side by side are very difficult, the visitor can then click Enter.
The last Pharaoh vast cornfields and how through the narrow little door?Into the door is a strip of low vertical corridor, came out with a wooden paving a path will visitors cited forward pyramid.
On the right side of the trail is several pyramid Temple ruins, affiliated unattended, inside the walls of the wall fall filled with tourists of graffiti. Small up to Japan, I saw recently in a July 2005 called en Totsuka hirotaro Guy left.Around a stepped pyramid, in the North Tower has a ground was broken in the trenches, it seems that is the importers, of course, don't let go.
Apart from that there is no other memorable. Standing next to a stepped pyramid to the far North-East direction, you can see the Abshire (Abu Sir) of pyramids. But I'm more concerned about the national geographic of Egypt "the Emboss photo source-the tomb of Mereruka. Because APA guide book will it and next to the tomb of Kagemni "regardless of how your trip short and don't miss two 6 dynasty's Tomb". However because of my lessons before doing too little, although hand holding the map, but for myself to see the sights. Will be stepped pyramid ruins at the foot of the Department are carefully looked over, and found nothing, wasted a lot of time. Finally after a police put the book on the picture to show him, learned that two tombs are in the large lot outside, away from our parking place is still very far away.Immediately rushed out to get off to let drivers.
Results only in time to visit a tomb, is just a book that picture of Tomb of Mereruka. Stealing a hastily took several picture, beautiful relief sculpture and paintings before carefully studied, the police will come in time. Next to the tomb of Mereruka tomb and Ankh-mahor have no time to go. It is said that there is a tomb Ankh-mahor very interesting things, and that is more than 4000 years Egypt people implement circumcision (cut crust) murals. Then I bought in Aswan to the mural for the content of the postcard, flying dragon and snake in a few words "circumcise you sent to the" old lecher Dave because he and I said he was uncut, HA HA.Pyramids tour here all over, but the ancient Egypt's treasures, we have just begun.
But even so, the national geographic of Egypt "in the" ancient Egypt overloading "but has begun to be reflected in the us. Trips for one day, come and go at the pyramid, we really feel spent physically and mentally.(Cutting and cutting your chick chicken)
Old man were on the drivers didn't seem to know it, from the cab windshields after picked up a copy of the information to me that a paper sedge Museum asked us to interested take a look.
"Paper sedge Museum?" and I remember tourist guide book is recommended for have such a place.
A day at the pyramid, to paper SedgeMuseum for a change is good. So readily agreed to, and also feel that this man was one though, as we add a trip without the prior agreement of attractions.The car into the downtown area, seven turned eight, 5 o'clock at the roadside a hanging "Egypt paper sedge Museum" (Egypt Papyrus Museum) brand of small building stopped.
Right now, this guide book that museums are not in a cruise on the? when are moved to the floor. Had time to ask what has already been entered, kick the door down. Just took a glance immediately understand what a crock of shit Museum, clearly is a papyrus art shops. 80% is the relationship between the old man, he put the guests came here, as long as the customer bought things, he is not a rebate. Later found that this "Museum" under the guise of papyrus art shops in Cairo really many, Liberation square next to the I saw several, "whereas" schemes are the same. Not come and see. http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/4a7a28d9010006waRing mesh good will, this shop's "dog" looks quite decent like mold.
Portraits of the sizes of papyrus art with fine glass box framed, hung up in the halls of the walls, the light, it looks fabulous. A young man wearing glasses of Egypt, to welcome warmly greeted and we played, and then use the fluent English told us about a papyrus of the history and production process.Paper sedge this wonderful plant and it made of Papyrus, Egypt before I have to come from the guide book is a bit rough.
Keep in mind that a suspect, is not to say that paper is made of the Chinese Eastern Han dynasty Cai Lun invented? tsung, but 2000 years of history, but Egypt earliest sedge "paper", it can be traced back to 3000 b.c. the first dynasty era, has 5000 years of history. Our ancestors of the "four great inventions" was unworthy of vain?The young man a narration, defuse my heart doubts.
From the paper sedge "paper" and we have a lot of Chinese people.Paper sedge is a swamp in the Nile River and the Delta substantial growth of plants, a wide range of uses.
Ancient Egypt who will use it to make the mattress, mats, baskets, sandals, rope, furniture and even vessels, of course, the most amazing is that it used to be "paper".Although the oldest relics of papyrus was 5000 years ago in Egypt left, but archaeologists believe that Egypt's use of Papyrus, and you can then forward the 1000 years, that is, people of ancient Egypt 6000 years ago in the use of papyrus.
It will be our ancestors probably also in the "recording to record", ashamed. Because of the importance of written records, the ruler of ancient Egypt are even made the paper sedge "paper" operation as a State secret to monopoly and protection. Ancient Egypt who had also been Papyrus exports, but this kind of "paper" a departure from Egypt the dry hot climate, it's hard to take long-term preservation, forcing our ancestors a new path (Oh, of course, is to tell jokes) invented the real paper, which is still in use in "pulp"."Pulp" surgery is the raw material mashed into pulp and then used to make paper, bark, hemp, rags, old nets, etc. are available as paper raw material.
As rich sources of raw materials, thus greatly improving the paper's production efficiency, reducing paper costs. Year 8 century pulp paper by a group of Chinese prisoners after the incoming Western Asia, as the Arabs on Egypt's conquest of Egypt and quickly pass. Traditional paper sedge made "paper" operation due to the unique and complex manufacturing process, the raw materials of a single, and pulp and paper competition shocks, gradually from the stage of history. After the 11th century a.d., this ancient and unique paper technology was lost. As a symbol of the paper under Egypt sedge has in the land of Egypt.Until 1969, the paper sedge Egypt's Dr. Hassan Ragab reintroduced from Sudan, in the South of the River Nile in Cairo called James (Jacob Island) River in the heart of planting on the island.
He has been hard to explore, restored lost long paper sedge paper technology. Now there is a recurrence of the island's ancient Egypt live scenes of the famous tourist attraction "pharaonic village", Dr. Hassan Ragab is launched. And Dr. Hassan Ragab has also served as Egypt's Ambassador People's Republic of China's first!That are almost, young man takes us to the same table, took out a root vegetable, said this is the paper sedge.
I look, how a bit like the Daoist, size almost fuchen. Butterfly turquoise, long stems are triangular-shaped solid, Papyrus used this section. Write to this, in turn, could not help but want to have a few nagging, ctrip sees some authors put paper sedge and confused, such as the Reed happybabycn, left a "Reed", "right one" Reed paper, I will fear no man jokes. In fact, paper sedge and Reed are two completely different plants, the difference is obvious, unless she is really into the home of brigands zaike. In today's Egypt, paper sedge growing is subject to government regulation and control; and Reed, which outskirt Nozawa, just a little water can be blatant vigorous growth, I see in Siwa.Young man with a knife the grass stems from the bottom, and then cut out cut strips some child so long bar, bubble to a water basin, that is to soak for a few days.
He fished from the basin out several root dip good, to chopping board with root ganmianzhang fellow rolling back and forth a few they are flattening, and drop back. I reached out and touched in water of the Papyrus stalks, feel sticky nature nature. Young man explained that rely on a paper sedge own mucus to make paper. He pointed to a pressure next to the mill, tame the bubble of papyrus stalks in staggered under pressure mill on good anyway (there is one direction bonding, made of paper than smooth vertical and horizontal cutting to), and then rolling out the water removed, Air dry, a piece of papyrus. Visible, Papyrus production process and pulp and paper is completely different.Of course this is only about steps, Guy showed me that piece of papyrus seems to work really well is very rough.
However genuine in aka Lilly market place for sale, according to the national geography of Egypt "on that big suspicious, in all likelihood be plantain leaf. The "crafty" Egypt people even learned to use maize stalk, potatoes, carrots, and other plants for the manufacture of Papyrus, cooking skill is not to lose a half share of our people.From street vendors there spend several EGP buy Papyrus art of course can't be anything original, but this shop wrote it. ..
I looked down at the label on the price, not by down a breath of air: a common pictorial cover page (A4) size of papyrus art, bid 2 100 EGP, even a 32 open book size to 80 pounds! immediate even McCoy, the price is not too had suspended? guy said they this sale of Papyrus, all hand made and painted by people, not machines, printing, and naturally the price is not cheap. But I had the same pattern comparison of different sizes two pictures, feeling or image printing, that is, the same floor as the printing of different size zoom, artificial drawing impossible every stroke is exactly the same.Young man saw my face hesitate to look quickly asked if I was a student, says students can.
I almost didn't smile, they also have a good heart. After a pass, finally burden to 25 EGP price bought a 32 up to 125 EGP price buy a pictorial size.When they first packaging of each sheet stamped stamp behind grass art, explained to us that this is an indication of origin of quality assurance, and then roll up into a hard paper sleeve, then repeatedly with a black plastic bag and tie the paper tubes set good good, at least set a 4-layer of plastic bags, I have a suspicion, not engage in camouflage play switching meter.
Go back and said she would also burden felt at ease and to return to the hotel immediately opened, tear those layers of wrap in plastic bags to check on the outside, it's okay not to worry, I feel myself more heart.Dinner on the last night I found when shopping for a restaurant.
This is in addition to fast food outlets near Hamburg, I can find only some of the appearance of a normal restaurant. From liberation square Akram Inn is located in a building, came to the city to al-Sadat Street and intersection junction el-Falaky Street on your left, a few hundred meters of distance. Although located in the most prosperous city in Cairo, which was very easy to clean. The price is also fair, a roast pigeon 16 El pounds, we have a point. Plus salads, pickles, the last checkout, 42 El pounds, but tax and service charge but many of the EGP, 10, 52 El pounds, we cannot give a tip.Roast pigeon is the blind spot, because the menus on the lamb chops cow pie roast chicken what previously had eaten, but this feels fresh, it is necessary, but he didn't think the color, give us a point on the scene "specialty" to Egypt.
This was later in Aswan the Nubian Museum, read a book before we know of Egypt. Freelance photographer and writer John Feeney has many years of living in Cairo, 1975 he wrote an article entitled "the good things of egypt" (Egypt's good thing) of the article, including the text of the paragraph so interesting, "Few dishes are more than pigeon cooked with Egyptian fireek. Pigeon stuffed with fireek and basted with liquid swells as the grain inside expands till it has a full, rounded, almost sexy appearance. ... "(No dish more than roast pigeon Egypt features. Filled with something, a layer of oil to pigeon cooked cooked after a near-sexy round drum drum skin, even into the mouth) everything sexy at all, is a veritable "doodling". The dictionary of words fireek is mixed with some spices (Curry?) of rice. Dish, meal, rice has, quite affordable, isn't it? http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/4a7a28d9010006waA meal after the burden back to the hotel.
Just as soon run into the Korea woman and a young white ghost station in remembers. We greeted each other hit, she asked us to today's Museum Tour, I doubt a few words, didn't tell her we're going to the pyramids. She said her new understanding of Germany friend took her to see Sufi dancing, asked me if I want to go.Sufi dancing? I was, of course, remember that online to see someone else mentioned that a mysterious man who dance, dressed in a skirt kept circling.
I don't even remember English address, but own a man to be afraid is not too hard to find. There are thought to go with them, see that guy on her Germany paramyxovirus nature, I wouldn't have it consciously, politely. She said I had arranged for tonight, go to Gezira island of Egypt National Cultural Center (National Cultural Center) to see what the performance, not just to visit Egypt Museum of modern art (Egyptian Museum of Modern Art) and mouctar Sculpture Museum (Mukhtar Museum).She surprised, maybe she had never heard of these places.
In fact, I think they are stupid. I have to give up how many Sufi dancing, also because this is something of a two-bitThat is really that good, why not go to the regular theatre performances? a man with epilepsy in the spinning around, what to watch, not just because it is free of charge, so we put so much on the Internet. National Cultural Center is near at hand, why not willing to spend some money to enjoy real high quality art products? Alexander Theatre cheap tickets gave me enough confidence, fear of dressing issues again refused.Starting from liberation square, West walk of approximately 500 m and came to the liberation of the Gezira Island connected bridge (al-Tahrir Bridge), also called Kasr el-Nile Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1871, after design, inadequate capacity was removed. The new bridge that is today's bridge built in 1933. Placed at the ends of the bridge were four Honorable grandiose bronze lion, which is the 19th century France sculptor Henri Alfred Jacquemart, old bridge completed when placed in there, like 100 years history of antiques.The bridge looked, Nile brightly with bright, colorful, night out dress up scores of Cairo and enchanting charm.
Walked, I got a glimpse back in my life in the city. Much like, too alike. My city has such a split in the city of river, river also have such a convergence of the urban stuff at the ends of the bridge, the bridge also has a square (transport hub), located at luxury hotels around, and even across the bridge, and also has a whole city theatrical performances of Centre-XX theatre .... Of course, as a state capital, the mother of a "world" of Cairo, its aspect open closed mind and weather, it is my origin of the small place could match. First among other things, that the present nothing much more than a number: bridge longer and wider, more lively Plaza, hotel hotel also more advanced luxury ... While the familiar intimacy, I loved it even more sincere. http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/4a7a28d9010006wqEgypt national cultural center is located in the Nile in Gezira (Gezira) island.
Some people take this island known as zamalik (Zamalek), in fact they are referring to are the same island. People often put the island to the North to the South, called Gezira is called Zamalek. This island like the Guangzhou er, er has a Xinghai Concert Hall and Museum, which also has an Opera House (Concert Hall) and the Museum of modern art, and cultural center. However people this Opera House but completed in 1988, more than 10 years earlier Xinghai Concert Hall. In the past we always say to solve the problem and then solve the spirit of the stomach, but the level of development in many users eyes far behind our Egypt, in this connection we are able to walk in, this can get ahead of our own path of development for useful reflection?Time to think of runaway carpeting has walked across the bridge.
Road Central island of flower beds in the tree with a big "father of Egypt" Saad Zaghlul statue, and Alexander that is the same, are masters of the late Egypt sculptures Mukhtar (Mokhtar) works, but size vary. National and cultural center of the gate is visible by the roadside.Egypt national cultural centre is a group to the Opera House (Opera House) is the core of the complex cultural facilities, so some people refer to it as Opera Complex.
Inside the largest nature is the Opera House, a building looks a bit like the huge building of Arab Castle. Unfortunately, no show tonight, but hold a European film festival. I arrived at the opening ceremony is a side of the garden, here are some neat, elegant and wonderful male linv, watched them, I have unseemliness.In the theatre Hall to the Festival staff ask for a copy of the printed manual, read the fine a few pages at a glance are called the name of European minority film, the gaode interest.
However I still go to the ticket office, about the film price: 30 Egyptian pounds, which is equivalent to more than RMB 40, really expensive, but compared to domestic Beijing Shanghai these big cities is cheap.Now that looks into the performance, then go to the next to the Museum of modern art.
Egypt this point is good, many museums are open in the evening, let the trip as I rush of tourists, and so on will for a limited time take advantage of to limit, it is a blessing. Tickets are cheap, foreign tourists 5 EGP, national population estimates are free. But I'm still the gall to ask the box office of men are there discounts for students."Are you a student?" man was a little skeptical.
I took out student card handed over.
He took a look at."That charge you 3 El pounds.
”So, make a cup of juice.
Heart a chuckle. Received the tickets was about to go, the man behind shouted to me,"And so on, save the package.
”"It can photograph?"
"You can.
”I took the camera from the package, the empty package delivery past to man, and then turned into a museum.
http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/4a7a28d9010006vtIn the hands of the books in the last century the national geography of Egypt ", Museum of modern art of Egypt for the description," ...
Charlestown, in the Museum exhibits rare, not fully display artists. ....”。 With this first view into the Museum, I get an unexpected surprise. In front of the Museum, is a large-scale expansion and layout, to 5 March 2005 reopened: Hall Grand and beautiful, flooring coot; divided into three floors of exhibit space, numerous exhibits carefully furnished, with just the right lighting for the visitors to create a very elegant and sacred atmosphere of the Palace of art. Although it is not possible and New ZealandIn their works, the art of the 20th century have abound in the area of some schools such as surrealism, Cubism, symbolism, abstraction, abstract expressionism, pop art, and so on, are reflected. Among them, also emerged quite like Mahmoud Said (Mahmoud · Syed, painting), Mahmoud Mokhtar (· Mahmoud Mokhtar, sculpture) this world-famous artist.We all know, Islamic teachings do not support the reproduction of the creatures, so after the Arab conquest and 1000 years of rule, the Visual Arts in Egypt can be said that no traditional.
Modern art in Egypt's occurrence, development and tradition, how many benefited from Egypt Government and social tolerance. Traveling to these dazzling works, in the experience and vision and soul double shock, I was thinking about an issue that has the capacity, great, but our country still does not have a Government-funded, collection of modern and contemporary art museum, and specifically one with 13 million people, is to accelerate the modernization of power capacity is commensurate with the art and ideology?, our understanding is also keeping? printed in Egypt Museum of modern art, the title page of this guide, we repeatedly taste: "times are changing, the society is also changing, established history along the track as the mainstay of our time, regardless of our technology and its dependency,-in fact, no matter how changes in our economy, no matter how multinational companies will become how small the world, the Museum of art continues to be a fresh assessment of civilization, is the cultural heart, is the future of seeds sprouted in the soil. ”Due to time constraints, I stay only at the Museum for two hours, only time will all exhibits hurried over again, not an in-depth experience of each work implied by rich in tradition.
But even so, you think the drywall, benefit greatly. At the same time I also worked for many years been Egypt's Chinese friends regret, because ctrip travels, I have never seen anyone mention this museum. They can be found in the archaeological museum "ran ran down a whole day", to see the three thousand years of modeling the same lack of changes, the style of the ancient Egypt art, but even a half-day for a few hours, take a look at the colorful, vibrant and creative modern art museum. They really love the arts? they really understand art? by their blind love, whether it is a work of art itself, or additional time on the work of art? I wonder if they ever want to live like them so blindly elevation ancients, essentially in disguise derogatory moderns, meagre ourselves?From Art Museum out fast 10 o'clock, has already been Mokhtar Sculpture Museum opening hours, but to Cairo tower was also not too late.
In accordance with the national geographic of Egypt ", this root 187 metres high, the appearance is like a grid pierced steel giant, is the late President Nasser United States Central Intelligence Agency's built in bribes, the symbol of a rising middle finger, as back to Washington for a signal.
But the United States also Rangel said that Nasser to display its authoritarian subjects penis (prick). The estuary between the two countries decide to defer, shouts in 1961 when it completed the second of the "world" (a pun) of the country is the height of the sit, second only to Paris from the Eiffel Tower on. Although in Gezira Island anywhere as long as you can see it rise up drawing figure, but stranger, much ado about something, all the way to find the only found at the foot of the tower. Tickets 60 EGP, students no discount. This is the most expensive Egypt attraction tickets out. Looking at the floor counter displays the "7", the elevator is stopped. Such a high tower only 7 layer?! initially also let me was fresh. Then think what strange, this tower was not to live.From the lift, it is a revolving restaurant, but the moment has not see Diners.
Go into a side door, upward climb in the last paragraph of the spiral staircase, came to the top of the Tower's observation deck. Blowing in the wind strength strong was unexpected, my eyes suddenly filled with tears. Want to find a place to avoid a collision of Lee, it's like the wind is blowing in from all directions, hid has no place to hide. A will is a slightly adapted to the point, squinted to, it really was some "light a million home city four river, together with the water in the central star. "Mean.The viewing platform of the fence but also some special, high, also flat with a piece to the protruding, presumably someone used to prevent suicide.
But this is just to give me a ride on the elbows, shelf-stable my camera, the wind is too big, old hand was shivering from the wind. Despite this shoot photos will only be marginal.In order to obtain better pitching angle of shot, I tiptoed station to the viewing platform at the edge of the raised a circle surrounding along, trying out the half body.
Efforts are being made to stability down to point the camera lens, when someone from behind in theI slapped on the shoulder, I was shocked, quickly turned back to look at.Are a man, one of my favorite Egypt middle-aged man, wearing a top hat brim, neck around the scarf, red face, lips with a beard beauty, so that his face was very lively and lovely.
He started pointing me say what I thought this place prohibit photography--it was previously also encounter many, they quickly shrink as you have turned again, forgot they are stepped on the road, on the wall along a foot, body looses saw line fell.
That moment man stretched his arms to sink down to catch me, so I just threw up in his arms. Yes, the one I like the man's arms, zero distance to feel his fullness thick chest, and manly full breath. I subconsciously he hugged, try to exaggerate their range of movement. This time, the operator can Bo.I think he should feel I have stolen the difficulty, of course, he would never think I hit the wrong idea, he must treat me as is unconscious or in jest, because then the rugged and powerful men actually smirk grabbed with his arms around me and make me look to the left column.
I half body-soar through the air, stimulating manner in his ears called out, "No, no, ..."He was in the hands of the world, my body fell, inevitably, we met in the lower part of the body, Wow, he that place ... ...
Good to great.I'm a little embarrassed, heel a hit will emerge from his arms.
But he did nothing, face hanging bad laugh, pointed that me and my camera and pointed out, the mouth speaks ", photo" photo, I understand what he is trying to help my photography. So what kind? 80% want to tip. I would like to own Wang water eyes then necessarily like rotten peaches, which are in the mood pictures Ah, unseemliness to politely.He looked at me, is that we look at the foreigner's fresh perspective, with the point of curiosity.
“Japanese?” He asked. Look, here we go again. I couldn't help smiling-that is the everything just for themselves but beautiful, answered his questions. Next time also have nothing to say. I thought for a half day or only a sentence, here see pyramid? not see, he honestly answer me. Then he suddenly remembered something that took me to the other side of the viewing platform, where a single spotting scopes. He motioned to me to see. I watched with block write and see how long it will take the brand to how much money, they laughed and shook his head.Take a look at the table, 11 points, and it's gone.
I do not care and man road, goodbye, turned into the stairs.I soon went across the Nile's Liberation bridge.
The Cairo in early February, the night of the River Breeze, ought to be the biting cold. I recall an earlier and the man hug, the heart is overflowing with blaze of spring. http://blog.sina.com.cn/gogoboyz
