Space-time interleaving trip-I in Egypt 18 days (D2)

September 22, Cairo

Bottom Pharaoh Cairo

7: 30 to be sent wake-up breakfast knock, breakfast is very rich in content, a pile of bread and black beans, two eggs, cheese or something.

I sat down in front of the window, only to find out is to a large garden, Garden great trail tree crown as the top of the tree canopy, open as a cloud-like pink flowers, all in the morning sun in all looked so peaceful. Egypt, I really!

8: 30Dr.H on-time pick me, then he told me that his wife was surprised I didn't sleep.

First with him to the unit, because I want to stay in Egypt for a week or more, so to get a passport to go to the police registration, to save me the trouble, ask their units responsible for the safety of co-workers and help me to do. Then go to the Bank for $ 300 (* 4.58 = 1374LE) because I heard that the EGP into dollars very troublesome, so he didn't dare more change.

Dr.H said today to make me look old Cairo views, including the National Museum and the pyramids of Egypt, these are also the most people to Cairo's main destinations.

Pharaoh Cairo, I am also unable to experience, but now I'm afraid of Cairo, and can only be used to describe the "crowded". The road down are quite wide, but not on the road to full vehicle lane, sitting in the car feels "tour car River", the strange thing is still the "tour" nice and fast, and in Shanghai as plugging in a half-day budge on the road. Museums in the city centre, from where I live in the past only took 20 minutes, but in a huge open-air parking for cars is available for 10 minutes, this all Dr.H attributed to Cairo car too much.

Egypt National Museum is a skin-the humble second-story building, however all around lisancengwaisanceng of Rob police proves its excellences.

This is because the Museum in the collection of priceless treasures from 100 000 pieces, on the other hand, also because Egypt Government attaches great importance to the safety of tourists, as long as there are tourists, there are tourist police protection. In the ensuing ten-day trip, I almost don't worry not find attractions such as the matter, as long as you see piles of police, it is the tourist spots are located.

Experienced and aircraft security checks made almost strict, I was able to enter the Museum, let a bit of a surprise there was even the air conditioning, all exhibits including the Mummy, thousands of years ago, are placed at room temperature for visitors, it seems that haven't considered due to temperature and humidity, and other factors and that the destruction of exhibits.

I think this is certainly not because administrators do not care or financial reasons, may be in Egypt's dry climate, there is no need to worry about such issues. So many thousands of years of cultural objects to save the State of so good, is because the ancient Egypt civilization itself quite well developed, but Egypt unique climatic conditions of the same.

I wander in to these Millennium antiquities, yourself like a sponge-like trying to learn from the best of them, but soon found I this small sponge even this piece of history of the sea of thousand cannot absorb.

From huge but yet elegant sarcophagus, to sculpt lifelike and well-preserved wooden, reflect daily life in ancient Egypt of the clay model, as well as experienced liangsanqian years still brightly-colored paper grass picture ... For Pharaoh of Egypt, in addition to the bottom, I have no choice.

The second floor of tutankamen treasures on display is a national treasure of Egypt national treasure, this did not have any significant contribution to the young Pharaoh, but after the death of 3300 years has an archaeological discoveries, but also gives people the brilliant ancient Egypt's infinite vision, a little premature death and exploits of the Pharaoh's Tomb like this, other heyday monarch of funerary also be imagined.

Is not spacious walkways in full tutankamen funerary, layer upon layer of gold coffin phase set is from largest to smallest Word line-up, and attracts the tourists flock here.

To then use tutankamen hunting guest bed of wood, painted a portrait of him and his wife golden throne and his 9-13 years old when used three throne with his lung and stomach and intestine of four exquisite container, small enough to still hold the essence of beauty bottle, snowflake stone made of translucent shades, or even a Pharaoh to wear underwear, one can hardly put them with 3300 years of history.

Tutankamen gold supplies showroom in bustling, many such as necklaces, gold jewelry, such as the baton, the display of which, in this colorful in sounds, not just surprised that at the time the Emperor's rich, more admiration for those skilled artisans of the superb craftsmanship.

Here, I finally saw the legendary Golden mask, it will be the young master's handsome face truly demonstrate in front of posterity, also made a unlimited reverie space. My age girls should have many have seen the daughter of the Nile, the Japan cartoons of descriptive and not particularly good, but who were all the rage. It is a Japan woman in love through time and space and tutankamen story, like a girl version xunqinji ", which also vary a lot about Egypt history, geography, for being a dream girls, year after year, on Egypt's important lesson.

Royal mummies visit Egypt Office is another highlight of the Museum, 40LE ticket proves its value, there lived a Royal mummies 178, most famous as in the case of Rameses II.

Ancient Egypt people think that since the "Sun Ming still climbs up," "flowers thanks next year or the same open", then after death can also be reborn, so they attach great importance to save the soul back from the body, in order to be able to find when his own body. From Pharaoh to civilians, died after the body is made of the Mummy, just making quality of civilian Mummy lags behind that of Pharaoh, and so noble, so we can see that most of the Pharaoh. See Rameses I feel very magical when, this left countless spectacular architecture and statues of the Pharaoh, lay there, since the death of over a hundred years old, plus Mummy shrink, looks onlyIs a vapid small old man, he has a golden curls and dark skin and keeps long nails. Oh my God, this moment I and his close proximity.

Leaving the Museum, I think my head is stuffed full of, looked at the time was 1: 30 every day, remember to enter the number of Khufu is restricted, they suddenly nervous and asked Dr.H is today certainly couldn't pyramid.

He said he went, I feel it is not worth seeing, not into it. Pyramid is located on the outskirts of the County was originally considered JISA, now even with Sphinx. Wide pyramid street side shops, we are at the side of a KFC's lunch, taste and price and internally almost.

Two, I see the pyramids, after more than ten minutes, I truly came to its feet.

Two hundred years ago, Napoleon station here said, "From atop these pyramids, forty centuries look down upon you." Now I am standing here, you can touch it, you can climb it, but what he couldn't say. Dr.H say congratulations, years of dreams finally realized, I nodded, location header.

In order to meet my drill to the aspirations of the pyramid, Dr.H took me to an unlimited number of visitors of the second pyramid.

We take the entry and not the original, but archaeologists to dig into the channel. Channel is short, in bent down to take a period, then bent up before they go into an area of 30 square meters, about 3 m in the room, room was empty, only an empty sarcophagus. Although we all feel very hot, but not stifling sensations, obviously the pyramid have very good ventilation system. I wonder if is not is to comfort me, Dr.H said here than in Giza space and can go channel also much longer, I think this is because there are a lot of Khufu is not proved by channel or tomb's sake.

Then go to the Sphinx, and go the distance a Highlands; it is only the third pyramid shoot into a picture.

In practice this can be seen near the pyramids more than three, only other Tower is too small, so are ignored. At this point, my JISA trip is a dream come true, I can see everything and I dream of exactly the same, but the Khufu before Sun boat Museum really gave me a surprise. The only side in the pyramid uncovered large vessel, about 30 m long, beautiful, fine workmanship. I do not want to engage in young with xianglin-like, but I'll say it's hard to imagine this is 4000 years ago.

Return of the original to see step pyramid Suquara and twists and turns of the pyramid, the pyramid can make people better understand the evolution of the pyramid.

Unfortunately when we arrived was already more than 5 points, stop to visit, I had to climb up the side of the large stones, far away and they had to stop by and say hello. Fortunately, I already feel a "full", so not too disappointed. Plus from JISA to Suquara along a small River along the way there are tall coconut-tree and green fields, the famed Egypt rural scenery, not white go this trip.

Back to the hostel, it was already dark, night in Cairo was very cool to sit in the garden breeze blowing, the accumulated fatigue of the day.

And Dr.H and his friend Dr.N chat to 9 points, which has a couple of trees in the garden under the engagement ceremony, singing and dancing, a very lively. I'm just a little look at the back room to sleep tonight you really want to have a good night's sleep, I do not know tonight I would dream of tutankamen?
