I have a fiancée in Siheyuan

Chapter 479: Plunder & Departure & Sumer

There are two more on the side.

After dinner, Bai Baoshan ran over.

A bit disappointing though, there isn't much good stuff here.

After talking with other people over the past few days, Bai Baoshan also heard a lot of stories and inquired about many things.

For example, the Imperial Valley is where Bai Baoshan is going this time.

Although a lot has been dug up, there are still many that have not been found.

Just because they can’t find it doesn’t mean Bai Baoshan can’t find it.

After two days of traveling along the way, we finally arrived at the destination.

Just northwest of Luxor.

There is a river canyon-like area here.

Knowing what Bai Baoshan was going to do, Qiao Yun expressed a strong reluctance to go, so she could only find a foreign-related hotel here to book a room and let the girl study here.

Bai Baoshan rode his off-road motorcycle towards the Imperial Valley early in the morning, carrying his bag and camera.

Next to the Valley of the Kings is the Valley of the Queens, but Bai Baoshan first went to Ramesim to take a look at the architectural style there.

We went to the Valley of the Kings first, but it turned out there was a fee, so Bai Baoshan had to pay $20 before he was allowed in.

I originally wanted to leave some things for them, but I’ll see if I can clean it all up this time.

After entering here, I began to use my mental power to cover and scan the underground.

You know what, there really are things they haven't discovered.

As for whether it is valuable or not, Bai Baoshan doesn’t care. What he wants is history.

In order to avoid confusion, Bai Baoshan puts things from each place together and does not confuse them.

I just searched around on a motorcycle, and didn't look around like everyone else.

Bai Baoshan would only stop and take a photo when he saw words he didn't recognize.

Fortunately, the fastest part of the entire canyon is only about 700 meters.

Bai Baoshan’s mental power reached 800 meters.

Without wasting mental energy, the depth is only 10 meters above the ground and only 200 meters underground.

Just like a bowl.

Wherever it passes, the things underneath have nowhere to hide.

In other words, the time is short. If it were any longer, the entire earth would have been dug up by Bai Baoshan.

"Pah...Pah..." Bai Baoshan crawled out of a cave, where dust was flying everywhere.

The main reason was that Bai Baoshan found a tomb passage inside and wanted to take a look. Although he got some small gains, when he was digging the murals, he accidentally... the cave collapsed.

I could only run out covered in dust.

Fortunately, everything inside was put away.

After a long detour, we found 5 well-preserved ones in the Valley of the Kings.

There are still many that have not been dug out, and it is obvious that someone got there first.

In many cases, even the gold foil on the coffins was scraped off.

This is even more cruel than Bai Baoshan.

After leaving the Valley of the Kings, we went to the Valley of the Queens, but there was nothing good there.

I just picked up some and started strolling around the area.

The Nile River is indeed a magical place.

But why don't they dig a new channel for the river?

In this case, wouldn’t there be a second Nile River for them to reproduce and thrive?

Oh, so lazy.

If I were a pharaoh, why would I build pyramids? I could just dig out a dozen branches of the Nile River, and there would be only a small island. I could occupy it however I wanted.

People who don’t understand development are really scary.

When we returned to the hotel, it was already past 4pm.

I quickly went to take a shower.

Now I feel much more refreshed.

It’s better to hug the sweet and soft young wife.

Teach my young wife the ancient Egyptian characters she doesn’t know.

The hotel sent us a dinner, a typical Egyptian meal, which was actually edible.

Baibaoshan’s next destination is the place where the Sumerian civilization was discovered.

I took Qiao Yun for a stroll here for another two days. We checked out of the RV early in the morning, changed the water in the RV and filled it with new water, and also bought some fruits, vegetables and meat.

Under the gaze of many people, Bai Baoshan drove his car onto the main road and headed towards Baiji, Iraq.

There are some places where trees can be planted, but I don’t know why such a large area should be left uninhabited and uncultivated, and just left to be abandoned.

As a Xia person whose genes are all about farming, it is really uncomfortable.

You can even plant trees.

There are only more than 200 kilometers between the two rivers, and there is almost no one in the middle. If you use an excavator to dig a river, how much land will be needed to sustain it?

Lao Yi is not like other countries that have no oil fields. On the contrary, Lao Yi is extremely rich at this time.

It is also the world's largest oil exporter.

In a word, nothing.

If this land were in China, it would have been used long ago.

At that time, Baiji was still a small town.

One-third of the population are locals, serving two-thirds of the archaeologists who come from almost all over the world.

It’s a pity that Xia Guo did not participate.

But Bai Baoshan represented.

The first thing to do when arriving at a place is not to dig directly, but to find a linguist to learn cuneiform.

Qiao Yun had only learned half of ancient Egyptian, and when she heard that she had to learn it again, her face wrinkled.

Bai Baoshan could only comfort her and told her not to learn and to learn it himself first. Later, she learned ancient Egyptian and then cuneiform.

Where are we now?

When I can go back to China in the future, there are still various scripts waiting for me, including insect-bird script, oracle bone script, and the most difficult tadpole script.

There are only so many things in China, and even after decades, many scientists still haven’t figured it out, let alone other people.

This time we found a European professor of Assyriology who was studying the newly unearthed artifacts here. He was an 87-year-old professor, Professor Hill.

Assyriology is the study of cuneiform writing.

According to his account, he was a favorite student of Henry Rawlinson, the father of cuneiform studies, and he studied with his teacher for a full 10 years.

At first, Professor Hill was not happy about Bai Baoshan's visit, but when he saw 20 US dollars in the bag, a smile finally appeared on his face.

No one is immune to the dirt. If anyone is, it's probably because there's too little of it.

Just like Lao Ma, he said he is not interested in money. You can try confiscating all his money and see if he is interested in money when he has no money.

The old professor was a man who did things for money, and he immediately told Bai Baoshan the origin of cuneiform.

After spending about 5 days together, Bai Baoshan's interpretation of cuneiform could be said to be better than the old man's.

The old man had to open his notes to look up many words, but Bai Baoshan didn't need to.

Having a good brain is an advantage.

After Bai Baoshan learned this ancient text, the old man tried to slowly lead the conversation to life. Bai Baoshan could hear his dissatisfaction with the brevity of life.

He also took out a rubbing of the Sumerian King List and showed it to Bai Baoshan.

Especially the first few generations, each of them lasted tens of thousands of years, and even the last few generations, each lasted thousands of years.

The worst case scenario is hundreds of years.

The old man’s first purpose in coming here is to find clues to immortality.

What does it take to find clues? The old man doesn't have financial support, but he sees a glimmer of hope, that is, Bai Baoshan has it.

The old man wanted Bai Baoshan to help him find the secret of immortality, and finally the two of them shared it.

Bai Baoshan gritted his teeth after hearing this. Was he meeting a madman or a fool?

He is just a poor man who respects history.

As for funding, Bai Baoshan agreed, considering the professor's seriousness and hard work over the past few days, and also considering that the old man was so humble and begging for help at such an old age.

Bai Baoshan directly wrote four checks for 4 million US dollars, which is only 500 million US dollars.

If the old man can find it, it seems that he has not lost anything. Even if he can't find it, it means that he has fulfilled his dream instead of giving up his hope because he has no money.

When the old man got the check, Bai Baoshan could see that there was light in his eyes, but it was not the light of greed, but the light of hope.
