Blood rain fell from the dark sky. The skyscrapers on both sides of the street in the center of Qing An City kept morphing into pyramids.
The Harvesters' caravan came to a stop on the ruined road, knowing they were close to the ritual center of the area.
"What do you see?" Lou Xiaoning asked the rest in one of the armored vehicles. "I see the skyscrapers morphing into pyramids …"
"Me too," Uncle Dan answered. Uncle Dan answered. Xiao Xu, Wang Ruoxiang, and the rest saw the same thing. The brown pyramid pierced into the sky, standing before their eyes. Chang Qianhang said with suspicion, "These pyramids don't look like Egyptian pyramids …"
This confused Lou Xiaoning's group. The mention of pyramids naturally reminded them of the Egyptian civilization. However, many ancient civilizations had pyramid-shaped buildings, but the pyramids before them did not look any different. It was like they were in the Sahara desert.
"They look more like the Sudanese pyramids," Chang Qianhang said as realization dawned on him. "Sudan used to be the land of the Nubians. Actually, the most preserved pyramids in the world today are the Sudanese pyramids, more than the ones in Egypt and other places. "
'Sudanese pyramids? ' Lou Xiaoning looked again, and she could not tell the difference. They were built from the same stone and had the same shape.
"They are different." However, Chang Qianhang could see the difference in the building materials with his naked eye. The illusory pyramids in front of him had weathered for thousands of years. Archaeologists could distinguish the similarities and differences in the stone materials. "Most of the Egyptian pyramids were built with limestone and a small amount of granite. Because limestone contains iron, it will oxidize and turn yellow over time. That is why the Egyptian pyramids look yellow.
"The Nubian pyramids are all built with sandstone, filled with sand and gravel. After weathering, they turn brown, and they are shorter than the Egyptian pyramids. However, the tallest ones are still dozens of meters tall. Another thing is that they can be very close to each other, like these high-rise buildings."
Ten meters? The giant objects before them were more than a hundred meters tall, but they were not normal objects. They were summoned by an abnormal force.
"The Nubian pyramids …" Chang Qianhang was still thinking. "The inhumans that appeared here used stone weapons, which also fits the description of the Nubians. At the same time, other civilizations had entered the bronze and iron age, and they still used stone tools for a long time."
Many thoughts came together, causing Chang Qianhang's face to turn red with excitement. Those messy thoughts were almost connected …
"The pyramid might be a form of competition," Xiao Xu said at this moment. He had already figured something out. "The name of a god is also a form of competition."
Everyone listened quietly to the 13-year-old child's opinion. Xiao Xu slowly repeated Professor Sun Lun's words before his death, "The traitors of the Egyptian king, the traitors of the sun god Amon, used the stone disease to eliminate Imhotep and his followers, and a new world ruled by the true sun god will rise."
This sentence raised a puzzling question. They did not know what the local Black Goat Sect worshipped.
If it was the Egyptian god Amon — if that was also the Black Goat, how could it be a traitor to the Egyptian king? Another Ten Disasters for Egypt?
"It's the Egyptian Amon and the Nubian Amon," Xiao Xu said. "The name of a god, the pyramids, the civilization, the world … a competition."
As soon as he heard the word "competition," Chang Qianhang suddenly understood.
Ancient humans believed that mortals could not communicate with the gods without calling the names of the gods.
Even today, it was the same to pray and pray to the gods.
The name of a god had power. The name of a god absorbed the power of the worshippers, and the name of a god gave power to the worshippers. The name of a god determined who the "sun god" was.
"The Egyptian civilization cannot be separated from the Nubians, and the Qushi civilization of the Nubians cannot be separated from the Egyptians. The two Nile River civilizations influenced each other, conquered and ruled each other, and gradually became symbiotic. In terms of the name of the sun god, the Egyptian civilization won. The Nubians later worshipped the sun god Amon, but their sun god was lost. The sun god of the Nubians was the origin of the horns of Amon and the head of the Amon goat. "
As Chang Qianhang said this, he looked at the brown pyramids and felt even more strange. "I'm afraid our enemy is not the Egyptians, but the Nubians."
"We have to report this situation immediately." Lou Xiaoning asked the communication vehicle to try to connect to the command center, but the signal was worse than before.
For them, many of the reasons for this cataclysm had become clear. The real sun god was the black goat. It was probably because the believers of the black goat did not win in ancient Egypt that the world was not ruled by the power of the black goat to this day.
But those believers had been lurking, waiting for the opportunity to pass on their power.
The shadow of the black goat had never gone far. Later, Greek civilization, Roman civilization, and so on were tainted by it.
But they still did not understand what "using the stone disease to get rid of Imhotep and his followers" meant.
"It may have something to do with the struggle for the pyramids." Xiao Xu said again, his childish face still calm. "This is a guess of mine. The pyramids are some kind of soul to the Egyptian civilization. The power of the dead pharaohs and the power of the gods that descended on the world are all in the pyramids. To defeat the Egyptian civilization, to deprive the god Amon of the divine name, the 'pyramids' must refer to the pyramids of the Nubians. And Imhotep was the first person to build the stone pyramids. The stone disease may be a means of competition. "
This guess made Chang Qianhang think about it a lot more. "Xiao Xu's idea may be right. The pyramids are the pharaohs' stairs to heaven, the connection between mortals and gods, and the connection between gods and this world … If we want to seize the god's name and make the Egyptian gods fall, we can't bypass the pyramids."
The team's vehicles had not yet contacted the command center, and at this time, the street in front of them changed again.
The ancient figures that they had only heard of before, but this was the first time they had seen with their own eyes, walked out of the gaps between the pyramids.
Those people were indeed wearing scale armor, holding stone weapons and leather and wooden shields. Their eyes were bloodthirsty and cold.
"The second kingdom of Kushi, the Temple Guards of Napatan …" Chang Qianhang recalled some archaeological knowledge from the other party's equipment and carvings on the equipment. He quickly said, "Be careful, these are the people who conquered Egypt and established the 25th Dynasty of Egypt!"
"Damn it, open fire!" Lou Xiaoning made a prompt decision and ordered the armored vehicles and tanks in the convoy. "Whether it works or not, shoot it twice first!"
