Chapter 63 (2/2)
From the coastal forests and mountains, to the vast desert, only a few seconds.
It's Dusk here. The vast desert glows golden red in the sunset. Some lizards and other small animals have already felt the sand cool and began to drill out of the ground tentatively.
They turn their little heads, sense the vibrations of the sand, looking for smaller creatures to fill their hungry bellies.
Barry continued to run, raising a yellow line in the desert. There was no reliable geographical indication in the vast sea of sand, so he went east, through Algiers, Libya, until he entered Egypt and saw the Nile.
Swim up the Nile and you'll find the valley of the kings, which is always the most abundant, whether it's a pyramid or a temple.
I just hope that the Amazon people don't care about these defeated generals and don't tear down the Egyptian temples. The Amazon people believe in Zeus, and the Egyptian god system is Pagan to them.Although it is uncertain whether Egyptian theocracies really existed in the world, at least pyramids and temples were built.
There is no scenery around. It's all sand. It's yellow in the eye. Su Ming can see the sand grains lifted by the wind. All of them are still in the air. Every grain is reflecting the faint light.
Rattlesnakes are preying on gerbils. A cactus has dropped a thorn, and a few drops of rare rain in the desert are dripping from the sky.
It's like you've pressed the pause button.
Soon, he saw a wide river lying in front of the three people. The river was full of sand, showing a turbid state. It was like a huge brown dragon winding into the distance, and there were some cruise ships on it. All the people on the river looked West with smiles on their faces. Tourists were enjoying the sunset on the Nile River.
Not far away, there is a modern city, Cairo, and the setting sun has also covered the city with rays.
”700 kilometers south of Cairo, on the West Bank of the Nile, is the valley of the kings.” Su Ming said to Barry.
”Yes, we'll be there soon.” Barry replied with a smile, as if he had seen a sunset on the Nile, which made him happy.
Valley of the kings.
In suming's original world, it was established between 1545 and 1515 BC. Before he crossed, 62 mausoleums were discovered, including the famous Ramesses II and King Tutankhamen, who is said to be the incarnation of death.
There are not only many mausoleum buildings in the canyon, but also many temples. There are many gods in Egypt. In addition to the nine pillar gods which are said to have created the world, there are countless other gods, big and small, such as beetle gods and snake gods.
Of course, to say that there are no more gods than Olympus. They even have gods in charge of sewers. They are responsible for the sewage of public bathrooms and toilets.
Public health undertakings were carried forward in ancient Rome.
”Our target is the temple of Seth, where the owl's stronghold is.” Su Ming released Barry, moved his neck and arms, stepped on the yellow sand into the canyon, began to distinguish the direction.
Barry also released her, but immediately reached out to her: ”I just passed by and saw a shop over there, and she gave me some change... Well, this sandwich tastes like chickpeas. By the way, it's business... But Seth is not an owl God, even it has nothing to do with birds.”
”Its animal image is an ORC with soft fur and tusks, which many scholars believe is a mountain pig or an extinct species.” Su Ming kept going: ”but Seth is also the God of storm and desert, and later, the God of night and darkness. Does it sound familiar?”
”Babatos, the God of darkness.” Barry took a sip of the mineral water and sandwiches he had bought.
”I'm not sure if there's a connection between them, maybe it's just the same name, but obviously our owl court doesn't think so. They're crazy about Seth.” Su Ming shrugged. They gave up their modern life and lived in the tombs of BC. Can't that be love?
Brice is also doing the same thing with Su Ming. First, she distinguishes the direction, and then observes the surrounding buildings: ”Seth is one of the nine pillar gods, but he represents the darkness. The temple is usually in the dark place, not with other main gods.”
Su Ming agreed with her, and added: ”yes, and his temple is usually opposite to the sun god...”
several people looked into the deep valley, where there was a place at the corner of the canyon, with a steep cliff on its head, which would never shine.
