Chapter 4450 4452 [God is not omnipotent]

Next, Xiang Nan went to look for the treasure of Alexander the Great.

Alexander the Great was a figure in the fourth century BC, roughly during the Warring States Period in China. He was the son of Philip II, King of Macedonia, and he inherited the throne after his father was assassinated when he was only twenty years old.

However, Alexander the Great was extremely talented, wise and brave. After he ascended the throne, he quickly quelled the unrest in the palace, defeated various powerful enemies, and soon unified Greece.

Afterwards, he led his army to the east, defeated the Persian Empire, unified the Egyptian Empire, and at one point reached the Indus River basin, creating a super empire spanning the Eurasian and African continents.

But unfortunately, he died at the age of 33. After his death, the huge empire he built did not last long and fell apart.

Because Alexander the Great had made outstanding military achievements, expanded numerous territories, and never suffered a defeat, his gains were quite rich.

He obtained gold, silver, jewelry, books, rare treasures, etc. from Greece, Persia, Egypt, Central Asia, India, etc. Therefore, Alexander the Great's treasure was extremely rich and has always been pursued by countless adventurers.

Xiang Nan found the tomb of Alexander the Great in the Egyptian desert.

It turned out that after his death, according to royal rules, he was to be buried in the Valley of the Kings in Macedonia, which is similar to the Ming Tombs, the Eastern Qing Tombs, the Western Qing Tombs, etc., and is a centralized burial site for kings.

However, because Alexander the Great died so hastily, leaving behind only a young son and many powerful ministers, the royal family and ministers scrambled for power and wealth, and fought for Alexander the Great's body.

Because Alexander the Great's reputation was so high at the time, he was almost regarded as a god by his people. Therefore, whoever obtained his body would have the power to rule the empire.

Finally, Alexander the Great's body was secretly taken to Egypt by his general Ptolemy, who built a luxurious mausoleum for him and buried a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, books and rare treasures.

Later Roman emperors such as Caesar, Octavian, and Tiberius also visited the tomb, but after that the tomb of Alexander the Great disappeared.

Some say it sank into the sea, some say it was destroyed by pagans, but the real reason is that Alexander the Great’s tomb was buried by quicksand.

Alexander the Great's tomb was originally built on an oasis near the city of Alexandria, but as the environment deteriorated, the oasis gradually disappeared and quicksand gradually eroded it.

Eventually, the entire mausoleum was buried in deep quicksand, so that later generations could not find its whereabouts at all.

……

It was in the endless yellow sand that Xiang Nan found the tomb of Alexander the Great, and thus found the treasure that had been lost for more than two thousand years.

But it is not easy to obtain these treasures.

On the one hand, the mausoleum was under tens of meters of quicksand, and Xiang Nan could only reach it because of his earth escape technique;

On the one hand, there are a large number of dead souls guarding the mausoleum. Most of these dead souls were soldiers who fought with Alexander the Great in the past. They were buried with him in his mausoleum and guarded the mausoleum of the great emperor to prevent it from being robbed by others.

There were also some tomb robbers who broke into the mausoleum, but they were all killed by the Undead Army and became soldiers guarding the mausoleum after their death.

On the other hand, Alexander the Great's mausoleum is full of witchcraft and traps. Generally, tomb robbers who enter here are either bewitched by witchcraft or trapped by traps. In short, it is very dangerous.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan was not an ordinary person. After passing many levels, he finally came to the core of Alexander the Great's mausoleum and obtained tons of gold, silver and jewelry, tens of thousands of precious books, and Alexander the Great's double-horned crown. Alexander the Great loved collecting books, probably because he was a disciple of the famous scholar Aristotle. No matter which city he captured, he was not in a hurry to grab gold, silver and jewelry, but collected books and documents.

Therefore, he collected a large number of books during his decades of conquests. Later, he established the Library of Alexandria, one of the oldest libraries in the world. After his death, a copy of these books was made and buried with him.

After that, the city of Alexandria suffered from wars many times, and the Library of Alexandria was looted and burned many times, causing this oldest library to be lost in the long river of history.

A large number of ancient books and documents were destroyed, and only the tomb of Alexander the Great has a copy. It can be said that these books are priceless.

Alexander the Great is also known as the "Two-Horned King" because legend has it that he is the son of the Greek god Zeus and the witch Olympias, and one of Zeus's symbols is the bull.

In addition, after conquering Egypt, Alexander the Great was also regarded by the Egyptians as the son of the main god Amon, whose sacred animal was a ram.

Therefore, Alexander the Great was regarded as the "son of Zeus-Ammon", and his two-horned crown came from this. It was cast by Greek and Egyptian craftsmen and blessed by priests from both places, so it had the double blessing of Zeus and Ammon.

After wearing it, one will not only possess great power but also great wisdom, which is why Alexander the Great was able to lead the army and achieve so many achievements.

……

Xiang Nan still shared the treasure of Alexander the Great with Tia Dalma, but Tia Dalma still didn't want anything.

"Alexander the Great is not the son of Zeus, that's just self-boasting." Tia Dalma said disdainfully.

"If that's the case, why doesn't Zeus punish him?" Xiang Nan asked puzzledly.

Alexander the Great claimed to be the son of God, and not only was he not punished, but he also received God's blessing. Isn't this very strange?

"God is not omnipotent. He can only influence the world, not control it." Tia Dalma waved her hand and said, "Besides, Zeus himself is very vain. Seeing how capable Alexander the Great is, he wished he could be his son.

The same is true for the god Amun. What does it matter if he is a good warrior who can bring him a lot of fame and believers, even if he is not his own child?"

"I see." Xiang Nan nodded, "Then what exactly is 'God'?"

"Do you want to explore the secrets of God?" Tia Dalma was stunned and asked immediately.

"Yes." Xiang Nan admitted frankly. He really wanted to know where the gods came from.

"You'd better not ask too much about the secrets of the gods." Tia Dalma waved her hand and said, "The more you know, the more dangerous it will be for you."

"What's the danger?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.

"Because the more you know about the gods, the greater the chance that they will sense you." Tia Dharma explained, "There are countless dangerous evil gods in the spirit world. They enjoy destruction, killing, and destruction. Even I have to be wary of many of them. Can you imagine how dangerous it would be for you if you were targeted by them?"
