In ancient Egyptian mythology, the image of animals is of great significance. Even the most important nine pillar gods in the ancient Egyptian pantheon have several animal images.
For example, the famous sun god Horus has the head of an eagle, Anubis, the god of death, has the very familiar jackal head, and Tut, the god of wisdom, has the head of an ibis.
Among the Egyptian gods, there are naturally cat-headed and lion-headed gods, and both of them are goddesses, and both were in charge of war.
Among them, the cat-headed one is Bastet, while the lion-headed one is Sekhmet. They are the war goddesses of Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt respectively. However, with the unification of ancient Egypt, Bastet’s priesthood gradually evolved into a family
The patron saint and the god of entertainment in charge of music and dance, but its evil side still symbolizes war and power.
Even during the New Dynasty period of the 18th to 20th dynasties of ancient Egypt, Bast was regarded as the incarnation of the sun god, and even killed Apophis, the giant snake that symbolized destruction and destruction in ancient Egyptian mythology.
.
The lion-headed Sekhmet is even more famous. She is the daughter of the sun god Ra and the most brutal among the ancient Egyptian gods.
Legend has it that after the god Ra grew old, all living beings in ancient Egypt laughed at his old age. This angered the god Ra, so the god Ra sent Sekhmet to create terrible killings and disasters in ancient Egypt. Even the ruler of Egypt, He
Russ was helpless and could only pray to the god Ra for forgiveness.
But the God of Ra was really old, and the aging God of Ra could no longer restrain his daughter. Finally, the God of Wisdom came up with a way to use pomegranates to brew blood-like wine to make Sekhmet drunk, and then the problem was eliminated.
A disaster.
However, although the mythology of ancient Egypt will continue to evolve with the times, no matter which version of the myth, Bast and Sekhmet have nothing to do with mummies, and according to the funeral customs of the ancient Egyptians, it is impossible.
There are five funeral urns for one mummy.
"Are you really not mistaken? There are five funeral urns?" Chen Mo asked the three Americans. At the same time, he felt worried for no reason: "Where is the fifth funeral urn? Where do you put it?
Already?"
Evelin on the side was a little puzzled. She didn't quite understand why Chen Mo cared so much about this issue: "Even if there are five funeral urns, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Maybe this is just a special case?"
"It is special cases that cause trouble. The ancient Egyptians used funeral rituals from the Old Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Dynasty. They have not changed for thousands of years. What do you think is the reason for the sudden appearance of a special case?" Chen Mo asked Evelin in return.
At this time, the unreasonable uneasiness in his heart affected his emotions, making him look quite serious at this time.
Seeing Chen Mo's attitude, the three Americans couldn't help but feel a little scared when they remembered some strange phenomena that happened when they opened the box, and hurriedly said: "We took out the broken jar, it's at Mr. Allen's place!"
Hearing what they said, Chen Mo immediately turned his attention to the Egyptologist who was trying to open a black book in the tent set up by the Americans.
Chen Mo came to him and saw that he was trying to open the Black Book of the Dead made of black metal with his hands. Chen Mo said directly: "This book requires a key to open, and you can't open it like this.
Now answer my question, where is the fifth burial urn you found?"
When Chen Mo questioned the Egyptian scholar, he directly used some of the necromancer's abilities, making him very terrifying and majestic in the eyes of the Egyptian scholar. He was instantly frightened and immediately replied to Chen Mo.
: "There, even though it's broken, it's still a beautiful piece of art that can be collected! If you like it, you can take it away! If you like it intact, I can give it to you!"
With that said, the Egyptologist pointed out to Chen Mo the place where he kept his things, and handed over a complete funeral urn next to him.
Seeing the man's frightened look, Chen Mo put away the frightened expression on himself and found the broken funeral urn that the Egyptologist had mentioned.
"Bring the other funeral urns over here!" Chen Mo turned around and shouted to the three Americans, then picked up the complete funeral urn from the Egyptologist and placed it together with the broken one.
Upon seeing this, the three Americans hurriedly brought over the funeral urns they were holding. Five white jars were placed together, and the broken one looked so special.
At this time, the Egyptologist also recovered and looked at the five jars in front of him. Although he was still full of fear of Chen Mo, he still asked in confusion: "Is there anything wrong with these jars?"
Chen Mo raised his head and looked at him and asked him: "You are also a scholar, don't you know that in ancient Egypt, a mummy only had four funeral urns?"
"Ah! This..." The Egyptologist suddenly felt embarrassed. Although he did not recognize these jars as funeral urns, after Chen Mo reminded him, he hurriedly recalled the information about the funeral urns seriously.
, which immediately made him react.
He looked at the funeral urn on the table, and after reading the names of the four sons of Horus one by one, he looked at the fifth broken funeral urn, and an expression of surprise mixed with fear appeared on his face:
"Sekhmet!"
"Now do you understand what's going on?" When Chen Mo heard the scholar read out Sekhmet's name, Chen Mo rolled his eyes at him angrily.
In fact, he didn't have a bad impression of the Egypt scholar Chen Mo. At least his knowledge was very solid and he also understood some taboos. Moreover, he obviously still maintained awe for these ancient legends and curses.
"There is no reason! Why are there five funeral urns? Are they used to hold hearts?" The Egyptologist quickly made a judgment.
"We can only open it and take a look." Chen Mo also looked ugly at this time, stretched out his hand to open the broken funeral urn, and asked Ada Wang to get the tools.
Others were obviously frightened by the atmosphere between Chen Mo and the Egyptologist, but Evelin asked fearlessly: "Gentlemen, what is going on? Isn't there just an extra funeral urn?"
Why do you feel like the sky is falling?"
Faced with Evelin's question, Chen Mo felt that it was still necessary to let this reckless and fearless young lady know some of the importance, so he said: "Miss Evelin, although we all know that mythology is very long ago and ancient.
Curses and taboos are regarded as absurd stories, but I want to tell you that there are still some ancient and mysterious powers in this world. In this land, everything that does not conform to common sense may become
