Lei Tiantang shook hands with him, and then said with a smile: "Minister Aria, to be honest, we are also surprised that there are so many gains now. I also understand your government's ideas. It is okay to leave you some cultural relics. But what price can you pay?"

"Then what does Lei always want to get? Say it and we will discuss it!" Aria was very happy when Lei Tiantang said this. It seems that this task is not as difficult as imagined!

"Hehe, Minister Aria, the conditions should be that your Egyptian government put forward the conditions first, and then we can start the discussion. Today we are meeting for the first time. Maybe you don’t know my specific situation too well, so it’s not appropriate to discuss the conditions. Do you think this will work? Anyway, our current work has just begun. After you go back and investigate my situation, you will discuss with other officials of your government what conditions can be used to let me relax!" Lei Tian said with a smile. .

Hearing what Lei Tian Tang said, Aria carefully looked at Lei Tian Tang. He was a little bit blind and could not tell which rich Lei Tian Tang was, and he did not pay much attention to some technology news, so he didn’t know him. Lei Tiantang is also normal.

But listening to the meaning in Lei Tian Tang’s words, he also knew that it was impossible to talk about it all at once, so he had to be polite with Lei Tian Tang and the others and then left. He wanted to go back and check it out. Who on earth is Lei Tiantang, otherwise the next negotiation may be inconclusive.

After sending away Aria and his party, Joseph asked curiously: "Mr. Lei, why would you promise them to leave some cultural relics to them? We all paid, and the American government will back us up! "

"Haha, professor, you also know my situation. I invested in this operation mainly because my girlfriend likes this kind of work, and judging from the statues we have dug now, there are a lot of repetitions. It’s no big deal to pick a little bit of it and leave it to the Egyptians, and it won’t affect your research. At that time, you can also ask the Egyptian government to cooperate with our museum for publicity. At the same time, in case you come to Egypt for archaeology next time. Get more support from the Egyptian government! Isn't that great!" Lei Tiantang smiled and said his plan.

Joseph heard what Lei Tiantang said and felt reasonable. This Lei always didn't need money, and he didn't think about getting any benefits from such archeological activities. He mainly supported his girlfriend's hobbies, so he had such a plan. Not surprising, so he didn't persuade him.

When we arrived at the entrance of the passage, everyone began to put on heavy chemical protection suits and started to enter the passage with a large number of equipment. Since this time we were going up, the speed of travel was much worse than yesterday, especially with so many It’s even more tiring to walk upwards diagonally.

This passage should lead to the main tomb, because the passage is much wider than the downward one, but correspondingly, the stone gate at the end of the passage has a greater mass.

It took more time to open the stone door with the help of 8 hydraulic lifting equipment. Through the light of the searchlight, everyone can see the situation in the tomb, which is completely different from what everyone imagined. The space inside the tomb is indeed very large. , But there was only a sarcophagus inside, nothing else, if there were any, that is, various murals were painted around and on the top of the tomb.

Everyone was a little disappointed to see this situation, and they all stood outside Shimen and looked inside, without the idea of ​​going in. Finally, Joseph reacted and said with a smile: "This situation is also normal. After all, this is the tomb of the pharaoh. Nothing else can be understood. A sarcophagus is the biggest gain! Let's take a look at the sleeping inside. Which pharaoh's mummy is it!"

After his greeting, everyone entered the tomb which was about 100 square meters and 3.5 meters high. In addition to the sarcophagus in the middle, everyone is also very interested in the murals around and above the head, because there are various ancient Egyptian mythological figures and animals, and there are many hieroglyphs. Joseph was very excited when he saw these words. The value of Chinese characters discovered by archaeology is sometimes higher than that of cultural relics, because they may record some long-lost ancient secrets.

Hurry up to arrange for someone to fix the searchlight, and then take detailed pictures of these murals. Joseph was also excited for a while and began to arrange for people to open the sarcophagus.

After the sarcophagus was opened by a tool, inside was a beautiful wooden coffin with a statue of a pharaoh carved on it. Everyone was very excited to see here, because the coffin means there is a mummy, which means that you can know this Which pharaoh does the pyramid belong to!

So Joseph personally opened the coffin carefully, but the result was disappointing for everyone! There is only one and a half-meter small statue inside the coffin, and there are some funeral objects around the statue, let alone mummies, the shroud of the mummy is not visible!

Joseph also froze for a while before he recovered. He thought about it and couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "The situation here is the same as some other pyramids. The priests thought that after the death of Pharaoh, they fell into the arms of God, so they secretly He buried his mummy elsewhere!"

Everyone at the scene understood this, so after Joseph explained, they could only sigh and continue to work. After taking a detailed picture of the inside of the coffin, Joseph asked him to take out the funerary objects and statues and pack them. Then let everyone use tools to hang the coffin out and pack it out for good luck, and he continued to study the murals and text.

In the following two days, another passage was discovered. This passage leads to the queen’s tomb. However, there are no murals inside, let alone a sarcophagus. Inside is an empty tomb with nothing. !

This anticlimactic result also made them depressed. They thought that there could be a great discovery that shocked the world, but now they don't even know which pharaoh's name should be placed here! Now I can only hope to translate those texts after returning to the United States to see if I can gain anything.

Fortunately, although this archaeology took a long time~lightnovelpub.net~, it was not hard. With huge investment from the rich, their living conditions are many times happier than previous archaeological activities. It's a bit comforting.

The Egyptian Minister Aria also went back to investigate the situation of Lei Tian Tang and came to the camp again. This time he saw Lei Tian Tang and he became more enthusiastic, and he also expressed respect for such an influential rich man. Yes, if you have a better impression, you may be able to invest in it in the future!

He also learned from Professor Mahmoud that there was nothing to gain from them, so his conditions for coming this time have been reduced a lot, and Lei Tiantang didn't want to wrestle with him over this matter.

Both parties were satisfied with the result of the negotiation. The Egyptian government returned 300,000 U.S. dollars. Lei Tiantang also handed over 36 statues of various sizes to the Egyptian government. As for the rest, Lei Tiantang belongs to him.

The Egyptian government also agreed to help them with the customs clearance procedures as quickly as possible, and is also willing to promote it after the completion of his museum, so that the Egyptian government is also good, because the Lei Tian Tang left them some cultural relics, and according to The contract gave them the entire pyramid, so while promoting the Leitiantang museum, it can also attract some curious tourists to Egypt.
