Chapter 107 The Mummy of the Showgirl

Overall, the procedures went smoothly, but the procedures were a bit cumbersome.

I kept signing, signing, and signing again, and my hands were sour.

"I walked first."

The curator of the British Museum, a middle-aged white man, nodded his head and left first.

After he left, the curator of the Furong City Museum, a handsome old man with a refined manner, stood up and shook hands with Chen Xuan solemnly:

"Thank you, young man, for bringing back one more thing from our ancestors."

"It's just luck, you're being polite."

Chen Xuan hurriedly bowed in return.

"We can come to communicate more in the future. After all, after an antique becomes a spirit, it means that a period of silent history has been awakened again. Recording and excavating history is also one of our jobs. I hope you can support me a lot."

"That's for sure, this is also my obligation and responsibility."

"I'm not too polite about anything else. Since you are an imperial student, I wish you good fortune in martial arts, and hope that this white dragon gun will flourish in your hands."

The curator smiled and patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder, "It has been delayed for so long, before the museum is closed, hurry up and visit again."

"Okay, goodbye, curator."

After Chen Xuan said goodbye to him, he pushed open the door of the meeting room, and saw Bai Chuan waiting outside.

"How is it? Is it going well? I just saw that foreigner come out with a sloppy face."

Bai Chuan hurriedly asked.

"It went very smoothly, and it didn't make things difficult for me. It just signed a lot of agreements."

Chen Xuan said with a smile, "I think that foreigner is quite skilled in business. It should be because he has sent out a lot of antiques during this period, so he is not very happy."

Although the average success rate of the Spirit Awakening Conference is quite low, recently many people on the Internet posted the success stories of the "Miniature of the World" tour.

It is estimated that the number of antiques successfully awakened has exceeded the organizer's expectations.

Even though the awakening fee was quite a lot, overall, the income may be at a loss.

"This is not a gift."

Bai Chuan corrected with a stern face, "The things that were stolen from us before are returned now, so they should be returned to their original owners."

Although the salaries of part-time jobs are quite generous these days, all they earn are useless fees.

Looking at the cultural relics that have been robbed from my country all day long, and being used by other national museums to earn ticket money, the more I look at it, the more I feel aggrieved.

After the part-time job for this tour is over, he doesn't plan to take up similar jobs in the future.

"It is indeed a return to the original owner."

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement, "By the way, if the British Museum brings cultural relics from other countries to the world tour, isn't it afraid to meet some people with radical national plots and rob them directly?"

He has always been puzzled by this question. Why is it so common to rob banks, but rarely hear of robbing cultural relics?
Although there are many antiques that are huge and inconvenient to carry, there are also many small and exquisite that can hold a lot of cultural relics in one pocket.

Moreover, in terms of value, the price/performance ratio is far greater than that of banknotes and gold of the same weight.

Maybe the selling channels may be a bit troublesome, but as long as you want to sell, you can always find a way.

the most important is
Usually, the security forces of museums seem to be far weaker than those of banks.

"It's probably because I'm afraid of snatching fakes. After all, as long as it's not a grand exhibition, there are basically fakes on display,"

Bai Chuan pondered for a while, then guessed, "But in this kind of cross-border joint tour exhibition like these few days, all the exhibits are genuine products, because many security forces will be hired with high salaries, so you don't have to worry about being robbed."

"Among the security personnel hired this time, are there any king-level ones?"

Chen Xuan was curious.

"How can there be a king class? If the king class can be used as a security guard, it means that the one who robbed the cultural relics is also the king class. But it is obviously impossible, just like the emperor does not know how to farm with a golden hoe."

Bai Chuan couldn't help laughing, "At their level, if you want some cultural relics, even if it's in the collections of other national museums, as long as you negotiate the conditions, you should be able to ask for it, and you don't need to go grab it yourself."

"Then the highest level of security force this time is the general level?"

"Not at all, because the exhibits this time are not particularly precious, so the person in charge is the school-level imperial envoy, the owner of the Four Springs Gym."

During the conversation, the two had already walked to the exhibition area. Since Bai Chuan still had work to do, he asked:
"I still have a while before my lunch break. Do you think you want to go back first, or go shopping and have dinner together after I get off work?"

"It's okay, I'll go shopping for a while. I only saw some of the cultural relics from the Spirit Awakening Conference before, and I haven't seen the rest yet."

After waving goodbye to Bai Chuan, Chen Xuan turned around and was immediately startled.

Because the exhibit behind him is a terrifying mummy with yellowed bandages.

【Songgirl Mummy】

[Before she was alive, she was an old woman named Katebet who was over [-] years old. She used to serve the God of Amon in the Karnak Temple. asylum.

Note: God Amon is one of the "eight yuan gods" worshiped by the ancient Egyptians, one of the sun gods, and an important main god in ancient Egyptian mythology. 】

"Huh? Can songstresses be mummified too? Isn't it only the pharaohs?"

Puzzled, Chen Xuan turned to look at the longer introductory version:

[After in-depth research, experts found that after Katebet's body was strictly treated, it was wrapped in layers of cloth strips. The painted mummy mask covered by its head was plated with gold, and a pair of white earrings were worn on both ears. His hands are folded on his chest, and he wears a real jewelry ring on his hand. 】

[Katebet's lower body is carved with a small dark scarab pattern. The scarab is an insect highly worshiped by the ancient Egyptians. Its scientific name is dung beetle, also known as dung beetle.The ancient Egyptians believed that scarabs could push dung balls several times larger than their own bodies, and belonged to the "hercules" of the insect kingdom. Therefore, the rising and setting of the sun was also driven by a huge scarab. 】

[The implication of the scarab is obvious. Because the underworld in ancient Egyptian mythology is terrible, every dead person must be judged and punished, and the scarab can use its own magic to protect its owner from being harmed by any ghosts. 】

[Not only that, but on the knee of the Katebet mummy, there is also a small mummy-shaped servant Shaboti, which has always been known for its hard work and can undertake all the heavy physical labor of the dead in the underworld. 】

[What is especially important is that the archaeologists also found that the wig and the position of the hands on the coffin of the songstress mummy seem to be very special, and their shape and posture are roughly the same as those of other pharaoh mummies. 】

[This phenomenon also shows that Katebet's coffin was originally designed for a male, but due to some unexpected reasons, it was later transformed into a female coffin, and beside her, there was also his husband For unknown reasons, her husband's coffin disappeared. 】

[The appearance of the singing girl mummy is a precedent for the mummification of civilians in the ancient Egyptian dynasty, and it is a representative cultural relic of the mummies of the civilian class.Her status and fame during her lifetime cannot be compared with many pharaohs at all, but the god Amon she served brought her the privilege of being mummified after death. It is highly respected, and it can also prove from the side the special social system of "co-governance by gods and men" at that time. 】

"I feel that after the mummy is awakened, the racial skills should be quite powerful."

Chen Xuan's brain was wide open, "Maybe he can summon 'Scarab' and 'Shaboti', it's like... the imperial envoy contracted another imperial envoy?"

Although this mummy seems to contain some story, it is covered with a veil of mystery.

But no matter how mysterious it is, it is still judged by experts that it is not as good as the mummies made by pharaohs, so it was put in this tour exhibition.

'Om—'

As soon as Chen Xuan turned around and left, he felt a buzzing sound coming from his back foot.

Afterwards, countless rays of light emerged from the area on the other side of the Spirit Awakening Conference.
