Chapter 2380 The Rabbit Predicting Death (Part 2)

"I don't understand why it would be dangerous if that law is to prevent false accusations."

Padma asked on the way to the conference room.

"Because it only prohibits others from slandering others. Article 4 of the Witchcraft Act prohibits any improper spiritual seance. If it is just a joke, it is not psychic. And once you have succeeded in summoning without permission,

Then you will be found guilty," Georgiana explained.

"What does that have to do with me?" Padma said.

"Don't you like divination very much?" Georgiana asked.

"Professor Tenelauni's divination is not always very effective. Her 'Third Eye' always works sometimes." Padma complained, "I find that she sometimes talks nonsense."

"The 'Third Eye' is a talent that is rare even among wizards." Georgiana said, "Usually divination relies on spirits."

Padma didn't listen at all, and Georgiana didn't bother to speak.

At this time they came to the door of the conference room, and the servant opened the door for them.

"...So he lived on the island like this for more than ten years, until he was discovered by a passing American ship."

When they entered the conference room, a man was talking loudly.

"At that time, there was only one adult male on the entire island, and the others were his children."

"What are you talking about?" Georgiana asked the scholars.

"Good day, madam." The short, fat middle-aged man who just spoke turned to Georgiana and bowed, "We were talking about a strange thing that just happened."

Georgiana waited for him to continue, but found that he had no intention of talking anymore.

"It's a warship named 'Bonnie', madam." said the tall and thin man next to him. "It set off from Tahiti and missed the monsoon. Then there was a rebellion on the ship. The sailors planned to kill the captain, and then

Hijacking the ship and becoming pirates. They came to a deserted island, but not long after landing on the island, the ship caught fire, and no one could return to the civilized world. During the exploration, they discovered that there were still indigenous people on the island. At first

They can also work together to fight against the indigenous people. Although the indigenous people are strong, they have guns. When the last indigenous man jumps off the cliff, the sailors get the indigenous women. The war ends with the sailors' victory. However,

New differences began. The island's resources were scarce. In order to compete for a better place, the sailors began to attack each other. Whoever was stronger would have more food. In 1799, only John and Yang were left.

People swore on the Bible never to fight again, and the war that lasted for 10 years ended, but Yang died of asthma just a year later, and in the end, John was the only adult man left on the island."

"How was this discovered?" asked Georgiana.

"There was an American merchant ship. They discovered cooking smoke when passing by a desert island. The sailors rowed and found the desert island. At that time, John was teaching those children, using English and British teaching methods."

"Ahem." Someone suddenly coughed.

Georgiana didn't take it seriously. When she heard that the ship was called "Bonnie", she knew its nationality.

"Please take a seat, gentlemen," said Georgiana, and took the seat first, Padma sitting next to her, no one thought there was a problem, just as they did in the salon.

Just as she was thinking about what to say, a group of soldiers came in, holding a lot of books in their hands.

"What are you doing?" asked Georgiana.

"The First Consul asked us to move these books here, madam," a lieutenant said, and the others put the books in a corner.

Everyone watched them coming in and out, and it took her a while to remember the purpose of the meeting.

"Have you heard of Hamwas? He is the fourth son of Ramses II." Georgiana asked.

The scholars looked at each other.

"I think I've seen this name before." A middle-aged man said, "I saw this name in the Library of Alexandria."

"Be more specific," said Georgiana.

"The Library of Alexandria suffered a fire during Caesar's time, and many books and papyri were burned. Antony took 200,000 volumes from the Attari dynasty royal library in the ancient city of Pergama and gave them to Cleopatra

, as compensation for Caesar's burning of books, I found the name of Prince Hamvas in these royal collections. That book talks about the establishment of the Library of Alexandria during the Ptolemaic Dynasty, and the plan of Eumenes II to build a library in Pergamon.

The process of creating a library comparable to the Library of Alexandria.”

"What did he say?" Padma asked.

"Go and get Philiel." Georgiana said to the guards, and then said to Padma, "He just talked about the establishment of the Library of Alexandria and the Library of Pergama."

"Where is Pargama?" Padma asked.

"Do you know where that ancient city is?" Georgiana asked.

"Take out the map." The middle-aged man said.

Then another person took a map of the Mediterranean from his briefcase and spread it on the table.

"Probably in this area." He pointed to the location of the Anatolian Peninsula and the Balk Valley. "Legend has it that the Acropolis of Pergamon was built on a high mountain. It was originally an Asiatic city. With the eastward expedition of Alexander the Great, Greek civilization began here.

In the Acropolis of Athens, there is also a colonnade named after him built by Eumenes II. During his reign, the Pergamons invented parchment because the ancient Egyptians stopped supplying papyrus. Later, this writing method spread to

In medieval Europe, the earliest form was a scroll, and later it was changed to a book."

"Okay, I understand." Georgiana looked away from the map. "Eumenes II is going to create a library that is not inferior to the Library of Alexandria. What next?"

"The book collection during that time was like a large-scale treasure hunt. Although the books were expensive, book lovers from the government to the private sector were willing to pay high prices. This gave rise to many forgers who made huge fortunes by forging manuscripts. We need to uncover

The veil of these fakes requires profound knowledge, so the contents of the royal library are credible." The man sighed, "The Ptolemaic dynasty's enthusiasm for books is unprecedented, and it has exceeded satisfying the king's vanity, especially

It was Ptolemy I, who was originally a general under Alexander the Great..."

"The First Consul is also a general." Georgiana interrupted him, "You can't say that generals don't like reading."

"He once carried the body of Alexander I into Memphis. Although ancient Egypt later made cities such as Thebes its capital, they still could not affect the status of Memphis, including Ramses II who also made his capital there during his reign.

Not satisfied there, he built a new city as the capital ten years after taking the throne. Prince Hamwas was the high priest of Ptah in Memphis. He was knowledgeable, admired ancient culture, and restored many temples. He had a

The son's name was Theo Serle. He was extremely talented since he was a child and was better than other people in Memphis at the age of 12. One day they saw a funeral on the roadside. The deceased was a rich man, and on the same day there was a poor man.

After his death, he was wrapped in a torn mat and prepared to be dragged to the desert for burial. Prince Hamwas took Theossel to the underworld to see their situation. Prince Hamwas found a magic book, Ptolemy I

It seemed that he also wanted to find it, so he collected books everywhere and accidentally built the Library of Alexandria."

Everyone in the meeting began to whisper.

"Do you know the name of that magic book?" Georgiana asked.

The man shook his head.

"What's your name?" Georgiana asked.

Just as he was about to speak, Philly came in.

"Jacques Champollion, I am a bookseller," said the man who told an exaggerated story.

Georgiana laughed and said, "You will also have a gifted son."

Jacques Champollion was stunned for a moment, and Georgiana said nothing more, thinking about what question to ask next.

Pitcairn Island, the smallest British colony, the name of the ship is bounty
