Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Are you scholars so crazy? Just when Liang En was excited about the light spot so close at hand, Fan Meng suddenly complained from the side.

Am I crazy? Liang En, who was awakened from his thoughts, pointed at himself with one finger, only to see Fan Meng nodding beside him.

It shouldn't be so urgent to figure out how to build this castle. It's hard for me to understand why you gave up the roasted whole lamb just out of the oven for this.

Mengzi, this is much more important than roasting a whole lamb. Liang En gently shook his index finger and said. If the other party transported this stone monument here by water transport, then the builders will most likely transport the entire stone monument here.

Judging from the existing text on this stele, this stele should come from a temple built by the Ptolemaic Dynasty in the Hellenistic era of Egypt. Speaking of this, Liang En glanced at Fan who looked confused. Meng, then explained.

And if the other party transported it by water, it means that the other party most likely ignored the weight of those items. In other words, the lower half of this stone tablet is likely to be in this castle.

But what does it mean? After hearing Liang En's explanation, Fan Meng felt even more confused. Is there any special significance in restoring this stone tablet? Today we found three complete stone tablets and more than a dozen incomplete ones——

No, it's not the same. Liang En shook his head and said. Because in that Hellenistic era, such temple inscriptions were ordered to add Greek words as a sign of surrender to the conquerors.

Greek... Fan Meng just didn't know much about history and was not very good at reading or doing academic research, but his mind was still very smart, so as soon as Liang En finished speaking, he realized what Liang En said The meaning of the words.

Are you saying that if this was a complete stone tablet, then the same thing should be written once in ancient Egyptian and then again in Greek?

That's right, and if there is such a stone tablet, I can prove to everyone that the ancient Egyptian translation method I summarized through my own means is correct. Liang En said helplessly.

Unfortunately, the Hellenistic era in Egypt was not very long, and changes in beliefs caused many of the temples in the past to be destroyed or used for other purposes, so this bilingual stone tablet has not been completely preserved to this day.

Considering that it is night, it is not convenient to do any work. So Liang En and Fan Meng returned to the square in the center of the castle with excitement and ate the already cold roasted whole lamb.

Those present were not surprised by Liang En's behavior just now. After all, for these real scholars, it is normal to start working on something when they think of it. They even feel that only such people can gain academically. Great achievements.

Early the next morning, Liang En and Fan Meng, who had just finished breakfast, came to a ruins in the courtyard. On the ruins, several local workers with their heads wrapped were cleaning up under the command of a young scholar. ruins.

When Liang En and the others said that they were able to help because they had completed the work at hand, the young scholar named Roland showed a grateful look on his face.

The reason why Liang En and the others dug here was because this was the location he marked after using the card last night. Of course, what he told Fan Meng was another reason.

I think I found it. Just an hour and a half after they started digging, they finally cleared away the rubble on the surface and dug to the ground. At this time, Fan Meng felt that there was a large piece of dust under the finger-thick layer of dust on the surface. Stone.

It seems to be what we are looking for. After clearing a palm-sized piece of ground, Liang En discovered that the flat stone underneath was also black granite.

You're right, those workers moved the stones in a regular manner. Fan Meng whispered to Liang En while cleaning the soil on the ground.

Obviously, the stones paved in this building at the entrance of the fortress are larger than those in the houses we looked at before. In other words, the heavier the stone, the shorter the distance they can carry.

While the two people were chatting, the outline of the stone tablet was gradually cleared out. Like the previous half of the stele, the half of the stele here also has the side with the writing facing down.

The reason for this is not how much awareness of cultural relics protection those people have. It's because there are so many hieroglyphs in ancient Egypt that look like human figures, so they need to cover them up for religious reasons.

Soon, the outline of the stone monument was cleared. Then with the help of the hired native workers, they pried the stone monument up from the ground and turned it over.

Oh my god! This is a big discovery-- After seeing the densely packed text on the other side of the stone tablet, the scholar named Roland exclaimed.

But just when he was about to pounce to check, Liang En stopped him.

Now I have some things to do. Liang En said and asked Fan Meng to take out a piece of cloth from the side and cover the ancient Greek words. Then he cleaned the stone tablet and took photos at the same time.

A lot of people don't believe that I can translate ancient Egyptian, so I want to be able to prove that I actually have this knowledge and not make it up to stand out.

After looking at the person who had just been summoned by Roland's voice, Liang En glanced at Sharif, who had been messing around just now and kept finding trouble for him, and then said loudly.

The stele we just discovered is a very rare monumental stele from a temple in the Hellenistic era, and it is relatively well preserved. In other words, the same content is written in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, ancient Egyptian secular and ancient Greek I wrote each article once.

Now, I will translate ancient Egyptian in front of you. And you can understand what is written on this stone tablet through ancient Greek. When the translation is finished, everyone should know whether I Really understands ancient Egyptian.”

In fact, Sharif represents the views of many people on the court. After all, Liang En is considered an outsider who joins this small group. At the same time, he was also the lowest among these people in terms of academic qualifications, so they were vaguely repelled by Liang En.

Therefore, it is easy to understand why Liang En suddenly acted like this at this time. At least through this method, he could get the respect he deserved in the shortest time.

Very good, let's do this. Professor Jacques, the leader of the team, said, and then began to direct the workers to prepare everything Liang En needed and prepare him to translate the ancient Egyptian words on the stone tablet on the spot.

In his opinion, Liang En's current age is when he is young and vigorous, so after being provoked many times before, his ability to endure it is now better than most of his peers. Therefore, it is natural to use this method to rectify one's name now.

Rather than scolding each other, Liang En's current method of academic counterattack is more likely to gain recognition from the scholars present.

Of course, Professor Jacques also had a small selfish motive for doing this. That is, I hope that I can witness an important event in ancient Egyptology for the first time.
