After the Pharaoh Guards withdrew, the Yankees, O'Connor and others also settled down again. Everyone cleaned up the mess and went to bed early.
Although the Pharaoh Guards gave an ultimatum, early the next morning, the two groups went deep into the underground of the ancient city again to carry out the excavation work again.
For Americans, they didn't come all the way to Egypt just to eat sand. It's just that they couldn't find treasures.
But now it's obvious that the treasure is right in front of them. Do you want them to give up? You can't even hold a gun to their heads.
Besides, weren't there just a few people who died? It wasn't the American man who died, but a group of local Egyptian natives. It was their honor to die for the American man's plan to make a fortune. And they also paid, didn't they?
They paid happily in the beginning, but now these workers should do their duty and be worthy of those dollars, right?
As for Evelin and the others, although Jonathan and the Warden came here for the gold, the Warden is now dead. Although Jonathan loves money, he still listens to his sister more often.
Therefore, although gold and silver treasures are very tempting to them, their purpose of staying and continuing to dig is to find important archaeological discoveries.
For Evelin, discovering important historical monuments, proving that her views have always been correct, and giving those old academics who discriminate against women and look down on her a good slap are much more important than digging up any gold and silver treasures.
After all, it is only 1925. Although due to the development of the British Industrial Revolution, more women have participated in industrial labor and social activities, and first launched a movement to fight for political rights, the overall social atmosphere is still discriminatory against women.
It was not until 1932, when the British electoral law was amended and the majority of British women launched the women's suffrage movement, that it was considered the prelude to women's struggle for their social status.
And now... Borrowing a sentence from the Egyptian scholar in the original movie when he evaluated Evelyn, "what does a woman know?" is enough to summarize the prejudice and discrimination against women in this era.
That's why Evelin's application for a job at Cambridge University was rejected, and she is also eager to discover some important historical monuments in Hamna Tower to prove her ability.
However, neither the Americans nor Evelin would have thought that what they worked hard to unearth would be a secret that had been guarded by the Pharaoh Guards for three thousand years, and a terrifying evil spirit that had been suppressed under the yellow sand for three thousand years.
Chen Mo clearly understood that as they excavated, the high priest whose soul had been tortured for three thousand years was about to be released by them, but he had no intention of stopping it.
Although he said that he could stop them from messing around and seal the high priest, or he could use the Sun Golden Sutra that he had already obtained to directly save him, but what would be the benefit of doing so to Chen Mo?
Although Chen Mo is not an evil person, he cannot do such things as deliberately releasing this evil high priest to cause harm to the world, but he can stand by and let the situation develop according to the original plot, thereby gaining benefits from it.
He can still do it.
What's more, if he doesn't release the high priest to cause trouble, how can Chen Mo convince the Pharaoh Guards to help him control Egypt and drive out the British ruling power in Egypt?
As for how it will end after releasing the high priest? The Golden Book of the Sun is in the hands of Chen Mo. In the original drama, Evelin can save him with a single spell, but Chen Mo doesn't think he can't do it.
Out of such considerations, Chen Mo did not stop these two groups of people, but watched them dig out the box containing the Black Book of the Dead and open the sarcophagus containing the ancient Egyptian high priest.
"Hey, O'Connor! How much do you think these treasures can be sold for?" At night, the Americans showed off in front of O'Connor the things they got from the box containing the Black Book of the Dead.
Compared to Evelin and others who only dug up fresh mummies, these Americans had somewhat gained something.
However, looking at the things they were holding, Chen Mo smiled at Evelin who was walking over and said: "Miss Evelin, don't you want to see the funeral urn I mentioned? That's what they have.
"
"Funeral urn? Did they dig up a funeral urn?" When Evelin heard Chen Mo say this, she ran over curiously and looked at the thing in the American's hand.
What the Americans were holding were several white jars, which seemed to be carved from white alabaster and decorated with gold and lapis lazuli, making them look extremely luxurious.
However, precisely because of this, the three Americans regarded it as a treasure.
At this time, they heard Chen Mo and Evelin say this. The three Americans did not know what a funeral urn was, but seeing that both Chen Mo and Evelin seemed to know something about this thing, one of them asked
Asked Chen Mo: "What is a funeral urn?"
"The funeral urn, the more direct name is the Canopic altar or the Canopic jar, the more formal name is the funeral urn." Chen Mo saw three Americans asking, so he asked
They explained: "In ancient Egypt, when the deceased was mummified, his liver, lungs, stomach and intestines would be taken out of the body and kept in four jars, each with the help of Horus.
The four sons Emshet, Habi, Domtaif and Kebushanav guarded respectively.
According to the funeral customs of the ancient Egyptians, the human-headed Emshet protects the liver, and the jar is placed in the south; the baboon-headed Habi protects the lungs, and the jar is placed in the north; the jackal-headed Domtef protects the stomach, and the jar is placed
In the east, the falcon-headed Kaibushanaf guards the intestines, and the jars are placed in the west.
These viscera were for the deceased to use in the afterlife, and this custom lasted from the Old Kingdom period of ancient Egypt to the late period of ancient Egypt. It was not until the Ptolemaic dynasty that the belief in the gods of ancient Egypt gradually declined, and this custom was gradually replaced.
Abandoned, the deceased's internal organs were simply wrapped and placed together with the mummy."
After listening to Chen Mo's introduction, several Americans obviously disliked the jars in their hands, but they were reluctant to part with such exquisite containers. After all, compared to their uses, these jars were too gorgeous to take back.
But it can be sold for a lot of money.
They came to Egypt just to make a fortune. If they couldn't bring something valuable back, they would obviously lose money on this trip.
But at this moment they seemed to remember a detail and asked Chen Mo: "But when we opened the box, we saw five jars, one of which was broken, and it seemed to be decorated with a cat head or a lion head."
"Did you read that correctly?" Chen Mo's eyes suddenly changed when he heard what the American said.
