Chapter 106 No One Understands Ramses II Better than Me

The Abu Simbel Temple is one of the most dazzling treasures even in Egypt, which has many ruins.

It took a day, and the ship took everyone along the Nile River to the vicinity of this treasure. From a distance, you could see the four giant statues sitting on the front of the temple.

"This temple was created three thousand years ago. The builder was Pharaoh Ramesses II, who was also famous among the many pharaohs of ancient Egypt. This temple is also called 'Beloved by the Sun. The Temple of Ramses'. However, Miss Yinsis should know more about this than us, and you, Hayato."

After getting off the boat, on the way to the Abu Simbel Temple, Yugi introduced a few people to the description of the Abu Simbel Temple that he had seen on the encyclopedia before, and then looked at Yin Xisi and Yin Xisi who were walking side by side. Hayato said.

"Actually, we are not heading towards the 'original' Abu Simbel Temple." As the director of the Egyptian Antiquities Bureau and the head of the tomb-guarding clan, Yin Sisi did not recite the introduction to the Abu Simbel Temple. That was done by the tour guide. Live, "What we are going to now is actually the 'new' Abu Simbel Temple."

"Huh? 'New'?" Jonouchi was stunned, looking at the temple in the distance with some surprise, "Is it possible that the temple was burned down due to human desire, causing the gods who lived in it to be destroyed? After resurrecting the lives that died in the fire and then angrily leaving, humans built a new tower in order to bring back the gods?”

"Idiot, that bell tower you are talking about is from the Bao O Meng studio next door."

Hayato complained, "Besides, the Abu Simbel Temple is completely different from the temples you have seen in Doshino City in the city. It is not built with earth, stone and wood, but uses a mountain next to the Nile as its canvas. Carved out of nothing.”

"If there was a fire, it would be the Library of Alexandria, the manuscripts of Homer, Archimedes, Aristotle, Hippocrates, and the first Greek Bible. "The manuscripts were all destroyed in a fire." Yin Xisi said, sighing with regret.

Compared to the city, Honda had done some homework. Hearing Yin Xisi's words, he vaguely remembered: "I remember that the Abu Simbel Temple was moved. The temple that was originally integrated with the mountain was cut and moved to us. The current destination will be reorganized and then covered with a man-made rockery.”

Yin Xisi nodded and said: "That's because dams needed to be built on the Nile River at that time. Although the ancient ruins are very beautiful and beautiful, people's lives also need to be guaranteed. If they don't want to be flooded by the Nile River, the relocation of the Abu Simbel Temple is necessary."

"It's just that because it's impossible to imitate ancient Egypt's calculation of the starry sky and the changes in the starry sky over the past three thousand years, even if the Abu Simbel Temple is perfectly restored after the relocation, the light that shines into the end of the temple during the annual Sun Festival But the sun was off, a day early and a little off."

"The days with direct sunlight are supposed to be February 21st, the birthday of Ramesses II, and October 21st, the day he ascended the throne. At the same time, the light that comes in will only illuminate the three stone statues at the end of the temple, the god Amun-Ra. , Ramesses II, and the statue of Harakti, while the god Ptah was immersed in darkness for a long time.”

"But after the deviation, the sun will shine into the temple on February 20 and October 20 every year, and the Ptah statue will also be illuminated."

Turning her head and looking behind them, Yin Xisi said quietly, "And the temple ruins whose stone carvings were gouged out have also been submerged under the Nile..."

The changes of time and the disappearance of beautiful things always make people sad, especially for Yin Xisi who is engaged in the protection of cultural relics.

Hayato shook her hand and changed the subject: "However, it is better than the whole temple being submerged. It can let the world see more of his achievements. Meliamon, no, Ramesses II." That guy doesn’t care about those slight deviations.”

"I don't think so, brother-in-law. After all, Pharaoh Ramses II is also a high-ranking pharaoh. If his subordinates dare to do wrong things, they will be punished. The majesty of the pharaoh cannot be offended, especially the Abu Simbel Temple. One of the temple complexes built for his favorite princess, Queen Nefertari.”

Although he left the tomb-guarding clan early, Malik didn't learn anything. He played the accordion with hand gestures for emphasis, and said confidently, "No one understands Ramses II better than me!"

Yugi and the others who had been to the slate world of King's Memory first looked at Malik, who was swearing, and then at Hayato, with strange smiles on their faces.

Hayato didn't pay attention to Malik's words, but looked ahead and stopped: "We have arrived."

Although they have seen many large buildings, such as the Duel Tower on Alcatraz Island that was blown up by Kaiba after it appeared once, and the temple of Tatsu standing on Doma Island, but even the buildings they have seen with Jonouchi and Yugi In comparison, the building in front of me is still the most magnificent.

Even though it has gone through three thousand years of changes, even though the four seated statues of Ramses II on both sides of the front entrance have become dilapidated, and even one of them has lost most of its body, the moment they saw the Abu Simbel Temple, everyone was filled with excitement. I couldn't help but marvel.

Game: "Relics preserved from three thousand years ago"

Kyoko: "Are those smaller statues the children of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari? How romantic."

Tapirang: "The weight of history is coming to my face."

Yujia: "It's really spectacular. It's unbelievable how people three thousand years ago built such a great undertaking."

Shuangliu: "After all, it's Ramses II who is nicknamed the 'King of Construction'."

Malik: "I have to say, even I feel excited here."

Jonouchi and Honda: "woc, so big!"

Compared with others, Hayabusa and Yin Xisi looked a little calm when they looked at the Abu Simbel Temple. Yin Xisi said this because as the director of the Egyptian Antiquities Bureau, she often talked with mumo, stone slabs, and gods. Dealing with things like temples and pyramids, the Abu Simbel temple is also a relic that needs to be protected. This is not the first time she has come here.

And Hayato's words were as familiar as if he had returned home.

Although this trip to Egypt, initiated by Bekas and quitting halfway through, was originally about going wherever he wanted, this visit to the Abu Simbel Temple was suddenly mentioned by Hayato, but because of Yin Xisi This government official existed, and they arrived at the entrance of the temple very smoothly without making an appointment to buy tickets or anything like that.

Although the management staff here belong to the Egyptian Tourism Bureau, the Cultural Relics Bureau is the superior department of the Tourism Bureau - after all, the places where you can travel in Egypt are basically to see some cultural relics -, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yin Sisi is the boss of their immediate boss. .

Although there is such a saying as "My vassal's vassal is not my vassal", just arranging people to visit the Abu Simbel Temple is nothing more than a trivial matter for Yin Xisi. Ordinary tourists who want to come here need to cross the desert and need military escort, which is quite troublesome.

Above the entrance of the temple, in the center of the two stone carvings of Ramses II, there is a stone statue with a falcon head and human body. It is the sun god Ra. Everyone walked into the temple under the gaze of Ra. There is not much interest in souvenirs of "Ankh" symbols. After all, what they were selling were just plastic props coated with gold paint, and not long ago, a few people just watched the [Millennium Key] of the same shape but made of pure gold fall into the ground.

As soon as they entered the main part of the temple, there was a rectangular hall about dozens of square meters in size. The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the sixteen stone statues on both sides, all of which were made by Ramses II. The statue of the world.

"Although even I know that Ramses II is indeed one of the best among many pharaohs, he must have erected too many statues for himself." Jonouchi said, glancing at Hayato. He said, "Isn't it a little too narcissistic?"

"It's actually fine if it's just stone carvings. The carvings on the walls here are all murals recording the achievements of Ramses II." Tapirang looked around and said, "Although the Battle of Kadesh and the Hittite Peace Treaty These are all achievements that really existed in history, but isn’t he not shy at all when he shows off his achievements like this?”

"Hmph, there is nothing in the king's life that is worth being ashamed of." Hayato said casually, but he skillfully walked through the hall toward the stone room at the end of the temple that served as the altar. He suddenly said to several people along the way, "Speaking of which , there were really many pharaohs in ancient Egypt, and the pharaohs would rule over their former people again after their souls returned to the underworld."

"There is such a myth." Malik, who was following Hayato, nodded and said, "People after death will enter the underworld, accept the judgment of Osiris in the Hall of Truth, have their hearts weighed, and complete the tasks they performed while alive. After completing all the forty-two questions, those who can pass can go to the Reed Field to enjoy the eternal spring."

"In this regard, religions all over the world are similar, such as heaven and paradise." Jonouchi said casually, and then said lightly, "That guy Atum should have successfully arrived at the Reed Plains and met him. Let’s get together our old friends.”

"But, Hayato, why did you suddenly talk about this?" In order to prevent others from getting sad because of Jonouchi's words, Honda deliberately brought the topic back.

"Because I'm thinking, there must be many Pharaohs in the underworld. After all, there are so many Pharaohs. Everyone has eternal life and rules their own people. If all the Pharaohs stayed in one place, it would be chaos. ." Hayato paused, stopped in front of the altar, and looked at the four stone statues at the end, "Each pharaoh has his own underworld, and each underworld also has a different door to reality."

"And here is the location of a gate to the underworld."

"Eh!?"

The amount of information Hayato said was really explosive, but he crossed the fence with "Tourists Stopped" written on it amidst the surprise of several people, and walked along the steps towards the stone statue.

Although it was not yet the Sun Festival, the sunlight from the outside could not shine directly into the end of the temple to illuminate the stone statues. However, the power of modern technology does not care about the rising and setting of the sun. There are slender lights on the wooden floor protecting the ground under your feet that stay on day and night, illuminating all four statues. Hayato's eyes were always looking at the stone statue of Ramses II, which was 10 or even 90% similar to himself.

"No, there seems to be something wrong." Malik felt his head was itching a little, as if he was about to grow a brain. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Let's not talk about the fact that there is more than one gate to the underworld. Even if the Abu Simbel Temple really has one, We must have looked at the wrong place for the gate to the underworld, brother-in-law, you should know that the original location of the Abu Simbel Temple was under the water we passed on the way here."

"It's right here. I know very well that Ramses II guy, although he has some obsessive-compulsive disorder and wants to choose a place that makes him feel comfortable, the most important thing is symbolism. It doesn't matter where the temple is. This temple is enough." Hayato took out a card from his arms, stood in front of the stone statue, looked back at Yin Xisi and said, "Yin Si, help me turn off the lights here."

"Yinsi?" Malik raised an eyebrow, "Is that some kind of nickname between lovers? You told me that there is no - Buga between you two!"

After casually sinking her noisy brother and patching up the third bag on her head, Yin Xisi nodded to Hayato, walked to a place in the temple, and controlled the lights at the altar to be turned off individually.

Although she didn't know what Hayato was going to do, it was enough for her to believe in him.

As the light source in front of the altar disappeared, although the lights in the hall behind them were still on, the eyes of Yugi and others were shrouded in darkness. They could only vaguely see Hayato in front of the stone statue raising the card in his hand.

"Even if the position changes, the stars that illuminated the night sky thousands of years ago still shine. Under the call of this place, let's return to the state of three thousand years ago again. Under the gaze of Ra, under the call of Draco, under the name of Pharaoh!"

The [Long Yi Qiao-Dianlong Meteor = QUA] in Hayato's hand suddenly bloomed with light, but the light disappeared in a very short period of time, and even the light that illuminated the hall behind Yugi and the others suddenly went out for no apparent reason. .

However, the darkness enveloped a few people for only a moment, but suddenly a golden light lit up from behind them, dispelling all the darkness wherever it went, and projected it straight into the altar at the end of the temple. The light accurately illuminated the other three stone statues except for God Ptah without even the slightest deviation.

It is like the scene that was seen during the Sun Festival before the legendary Abu Simbel temple was relocated.

Several people couldn't help but turn around and look around. They saw the entrance where they had entered the temple before. Somehow, the administrators who were standing there selling Ankh symbols could no longer be seen. What was left was just pure white.

They had seen a similar scene not long ago. In the underground temple where the slabs of the underworld were placed, it was the same scene after Atum opened the gate to the underworld!
