Facing the first light of Egypt, I entered Cairo. Long-distance flight overnight, tired body, excited heart strolling on the streets of Cairo.

Before I came here, I specially looked for Tracking the Lost City of Egypt. I know ramses ii better. Because of his love for beauty, I laid the aesthetic foundation for ancient Egypt. I think I love an emperor as long as he loves art, even if he has no remarkable achievements. For example, Song Huizong, the empress of the Tang Dynasty, or Sha Jiahan, the builder of the Taj Mahal.

Cairo in the morning is not too hot. Take this opportunity to visit pyramid of khufu and the Sphinx. Of course, this pyramid of khufu and the Sphinx must be the most familiar points. As China people will say, "If you haven't climbed the Great Wall, it's like you've never been in China." Pyramid of khufu has become a tourist symbol of Egypt. Anyone who has been to Egypt will surely walk around pyramid of khufu and step on the sand in the Sahara desert. Walking and visiting the pyramids and the Sphinx, the temperature "brush, brush, brush" soared, and friends in the same industry sighed with emotion: "How did Sanmao survive in the Sahara desert?" I went on to say, "The key is that in her eyes, everything in the Sahara desert is beautiful and worth exploring. It is more loving. " It seems that the interesting thing about life is not how different it is, but how picky it is.

Camels and a group of people are walking in the Sahara desert. Seven thousand years of history is like a painting. Thousands of workers have worked together for 30 years. During the flood season of the Nile, tens of thousands of tons of stones were transported from Aswan, more than 900 kilometers away, to Cairo. What a spectacular and intelligent scene it is. The sound of the trumpet resounds through the sky, and there will be a slope that only the hand of God can build. Stand at the bottom of the pyramid and look up. I have a feeling of awe in my heart. I really want to stare at it under it and bow deeply to it. For the wisdom of mankind.

In the afternoon, I went to the Egyptian Museum to see the human marks left by Egypt, Middle Egypt and Lower Egypt. When I went to India at the end of last year, I didn't understand the Indian view of life and death. But look carefully, the ancient Indians looked down on life and death and thought that death was only a process of life. So don't be afraid of death. Man is only a part of nature. So after death, you don't have to leave your own traces, go with the Ganges water and enter another reincarnation. Egyptians have completely different views on death, so when they come to Egypt, they will find that the best houses built on this land belong to the dead. Many pharaohs began to build tombs for themselves as soon as they succeeded to the throne, hoping to be mummified after death, wait for a period of time, and finally get eternal life. On the road of civilization, we took a completely different road. Whether you look down on life and death, believe in reincarnation, or hope to enter eternal life after death. This is a heavy blow to human civilization.

The first and second episodes of Searching for the Lost City of Egypt are about how the Pharaoh's totem Hama, which had no great achievements in Egypt, was found in the tomb of the Valley of the Kings. The Valley of the Kings was the place where the Pharaoh was buried during the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt (BC 1570-BC 1090). There have been 64 pharaohs buried here, and only the tomb of totem Hama has not been stolen. Because there is a tomb of Ramses VI on the tomb of Totem Hama. So many grave robbers didn't find the tomb of totem Hama. British archaeologist Carter firmly believes that there is still a tomb in the Valley of the Kings that has not been stolen. So he spent five years digging in Luxor, Egypt. Many of his patrons wanted to give up their investment because Carter couldn't find the stolen Pharaoh's tomb, but Carter suggested to him: "He paid for the excavation himself, and all the things and names he found belonged to this noble, as long as he had the excavation certificate in his hand." The nobles finally supported Carter to continue digging. Finally, the tomb of the totem Maha was discovered by Carter. There are more traces to clarify the history of ancient Egypt. Unfortunately, after the tomb of Totem Hama was discovered, the aristocrat died. Everyone thinks this is caused by Pharaoh's curse.

Today, I saw the whole six-story coffin of the totem Hama and the mask on the mummy's head in the Egyptian Museum. I think this 9-year-old Pharaoh who succeeded to the throne, 19-year-old unknown so died, is really sad and pitiful. Some things are besieged cities. "People inside want to go out and people outside want to come in."

Personally, I think the museum is really the best place to know about this land!

Let's find a passage in San Mao's "The Crying Camel" to end today's journey.

More importantly, I want to see why people can have the joy of life, love and hate in this barren desert. Sanmao's crying camel
