The treasures inside the Great Pyramid and the location of Pharaoh Khufu's mummy had become an unsolved mystery that no one knew. For thousands of years, many people had tried to explore this unsolved mystery, and they had put forward all kinds of opinions, but none of them had been accepted by everyone. They could only be considered scientific and reasonable speculations.
Some people suggested that the Pharaoh's treasures and mummy had been stolen by tomb robbers. Others believed that the Pharaoh's tomb was in a hidden place in the pyramid, and the coffin that was found was fake. The real coffin was in a more hidden place, and the mummy and the treasures in the pyramid were in this hidden place.
Which theory was true? The debate in later generations had never stopped. No one side could convince the other, so it had become an unsolved mystery. However, more people believed that there was an unknown tomb in the pyramid, and that the Pharaoh's mummy and treasures were in this tomb.
Ang Lee also believed in the latter. He believed that the Pharaoh's mummy and the pyramid's treasures were buried in the hidden tomb of the pyramid, waiting for future generations to dig them out.
In the Tang dynasty, no one had found the entrance to the pyramid, so naturally, there was no such thing as tomb robbing. Ang Lee was the first person to find the entrance to the pyramid. As long as the treasures and the mummy were not found in the pyramid at this time, it could be said that the mummy and treasures were in a deeper tomb and had not been robbed.
The pyramid's coffin had been found, and Osman's subordinates were trying to open it. As long as they could open the pyramid's coffin, they could verify whether Ang Lee's judgment was correct.
Because he was curious and had been waiting for an answer, Ang Lee was not sleepy at all. He chatted with Osman about the various inventions of the Tang dynasty, how Ang Lee came up with them, and what kind of books Ang Lee had studied that allowed him to invent so many advanced mechanical products in one go.
Ang Lee's answer was, of course, evasive. He did not answer Osman's question very seriously. After all, Ang Lee did not know how to explain it. He could not tell this guy that he came from a thousand years in the future! If that was the case, wouldn't Osman be scared to death? Or perhaps, Osman wouldn't believe him at all.
The efficiency of Osman's subordinates was not bad, and they quickly opened the coffin in the pyramid. However, they were disappointed that they did not find any gold, silver, or treasure in the coffin. They did not even find the Pharaoh's mummy. This disappointed them greatly, but they had no choice but to tell this unfortunate news to Osman, who was anxiously waiting outside.
"What? The coffin is empty? There's nothing inside? How is that possible?"
When Osman heard the news, he was disappointed and even angry. It was like being happy for nothing. He had high hopes for the coffin, but in the end, his hopes turned into disappointment. It would be extremely painful for anyone to experience such a thing.
"Is there no treasure in the pyramid? How is that possible? No, that's impossible."
Osman no longer cared about his image as a monarch. He seemed to have lost his soul. It was as if he had lost all his money. It was as if he had lost his soul.
Ang Lee smiled faintly. There was no treasure in the coffin. For Ang Lee, there was no loss. After all, even if there was, these treasures would belong to Osman. Therefore, Ang Lee was naturally very happy. This at least proved that Ang Lee's judgment was correct. The tomb that could be easily discovered by future generations was fake, and the real Pharaoh's tomb was in a deeper place. Even later generations could not open it, let alone in this era.
The entrance to the real tomb was very hidden. Even with the advanced science of later generations, it was difficult to find a way to enter the real secret tomb. Therefore, in this era, it was almost impossible for Osman to discover the real tomb. And Ang Lee obviously would not help. If he really helped Osman find the treasure, it would not benefit Ang Lee at all. Instead, it would make Osman withdraw the surrounding troops. In this way, the safety of the pyramid could not be guaranteed. The free bodyguards that Ang Lee found for the pyramid would be gone.
"Don't worry, Sultan. The Great Pyramid is the largest of all the pyramids. In order to not let future generations disturb his peace, the Pharaoh must have more than one tomb. The one we found now may be fake, and the real tomb is in a more hidden place. Moreover, it is very difficult to find. Just look for it slowly, there's no need to rush."
Ang Lee comforted Osman, telling him not to be too anxious. Haste makes waste, and there was no use in being anxious.
"Assistant Minister Li, did you already know that there were no treasures in the pyramid? Is that why you are so polite and want to give me all the treasures found inside?"
Osman was a little flustered and exasperated. He actually doubted Ang Lee.
Naturally, Li An was also very unhappy. He retorted, "This is the first time the entrance to the pyramid has been opened. How would I know what's inside? If it weren't for the Sultan's urgent need for money, I wouldn't have distributed it like this and given up all the treasures. Besides, the pyramid is still being explored. Who can guarantee that there won't be treasures later? You have to be patient! Last time, it took a few months to find the entrance. Can't you be more patient this time? "
Osman also felt that his attitude was not very good. He quickly apologized, "Assistant Minister Li, don't be angry. I was just anxious! After searching for so long, I finally found the coffin inside. It was empty. How can I not be anxious? "
"Haha! Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Take your time. Hahaha! "
Ang Lee comforted him with a smile.
Osman thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I just heard this subordinate say that Assistant Minister Li can talk to the pyramid's stones. That was how you found the entrance. Since that is the case, why don't Assistant Minister Li ask the stones where the Pharaoh's treasures are? Wouldn't that be the best?"
I looked at Ang Lee and waited for Ang Lee's answer.
Ang Lee smiled faintly and said, "I can talk to the stones. Haha! Does Sultan really believe that? "
"I don't believe it, but I have no choice but to believe it. After all, Assistant Minister Li found the entrance to the pyramid in such a short time. This is simply too inconceivable. Could it be that this is not true?"
Osman's mind was in a mess. It was all because of his anxiety that his intelligence had dropped a lot.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "How can a person talk to a stone? The entrance to the Great Pyramid is recorded in the ancient books of the Tang dynasty. However, very few people have seen it. Even if they did, who would have the time to travel to Egypt to investigate? That's why almost no one in the Tang dynasty knows about the Great Pyramid. "
"Oh, the ancient books of the Tang dynasty have the entrance to the Great Pyramid. What about the treasures? There should be a record, right? "
Osman asked anxiously.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "Regarding the situation inside the Great Pyramid, there are too few records in the ancient books. They don't point out the exact location of the treasures. They only say that the Pharaoh has a real and a fake tomb. The treasures are in the real tomb, and the real tomb is hidden very well. It's hard for ordinary people to find it. Moreover, the Pharaoh's tomb has a curse. Anyone who disturbs the Pharaoh's peace will die an unnatural death."
Osman was skeptical. He was worried that Ang Lee was fooling him. However, he didn't have a way to verify it, so he could only let others fool him. He even had to agree with Ang Lee's words. After all, he didn't have a way to verify it.
"Assistant Minister Li, you can't fool me! We've spent a lot of time and energy searching for the treasures in the Great Pyramid. It's really not easy. "
Osman complained, trying to gain Ang Lee's sympathy.
Ang Lee said sincerely, "Sultan, you worry too much. Why would I lie to you? I really don't know where the treasures are in the Great Pyramid. If I knew, I would definitely tell you. You should leave a few more people in the Great Pyramid and search slowly. Who knows, maybe you'll find it one day? "
This was Ang Lee's heartfelt words. He really didn't know the exact location of the treasures in the Great Pyramid. Ang Lee also didn't know where the real tomb of the Pharaoh was. He could only rely on Osman's subordinates to find it. Ang Lee really couldn't help much.
Osman was disappointed when he heard this. If Ang Lee didn't know where the treasures in the Great Pyramid were, then his subordinates couldn't be counted on. After all, he had ordered his subordinates to search outside the Great Pyramid for a few months. In the end, they couldn't even find the entrance to the Great Pyramid. As such, it was even more difficult to count on them to find the hidden tomb of the Pharaoh in the Great Pyramid. It was even more impossible.
"Since even Assistant Minister Li doesn't know where the treasures in the Great Pyramid are, it seems that I can only count on them to find it slowly. I hope they don't disappoint me."
Osman said sadly.
"Sultan, near the coffin of the Great Pyramid, we found a sentence. It means that anyone who disturbs the peace of the Pharaoh will die an unnatural death. Many people were frightened when they saw this sentence and didn't dare to continue searching."
Soon, a subordinate told Osman the latest discovery. This situation was exactly the same as what Ang Lee had said. This made Osman believe Ang Lee's words. After all, Ang Lee had never entered the Great Pyramid. So, how could he know that there was a curse in the Great Pyramid? The only explanation was that Ang Lee had read rare ancient books from the Tang dynasty.
"What's there to be afraid of? Let them continue searching. When they find the treasure, it will be over. Whoever dares to disobey will be executed," Osman said bluntly.
For him, who had been leading the army for a long time, killing a few disobedient soldiers was a common occurrence. He had killed hundreds of disobedient soldiers, so he didn't care about killing a few more. In order to obtain the treasures in the Great Pyramid, Osman was willing to make a great sacrifice. A few civilians were nothing to him. Moreover, these people had received money. Since they had received money from others, they had to work for others. How could they give up because of a curse?
Under Osman's coercion, the two hundred warriors who had received the money and more soldiers had to enter the Great Pyramid to explore. As long as they were needed, they had to stand up and never retreat. Otherwise, what awaited them was the consequence of being executed.
"The Sultan's command is really good. At this moment, the situation inside is clearer. Let's go in and take a look! It's also good to see what's going on inside the Great Pyramid. "
Ang Lee said.
Of course, Osman would not refuse. He responded happily, "Okay! I also want to take a look inside the Great Pyramid. "
Under the escort of several guards, Li An and Osman entered the interior of the Great Pyramid to take a look at the situation inside. Their trip was not in vain.
The space inside the Great Pyramid was originally very dark. After all, the entrance area was too small. At most, it could only illuminate a short distance near the entrance. It was very dark further inside. However, Ang Lee had sent his subordinates to build wires and light bulbs inside. There were light bulbs at intervals. This way, the dark interior of the Great Pyramid would become brighter. At least, it allowed people to see the basic situation inside and not lose sight of the road.
After entering, it was a little cool inside. This feeling was similar to the underground air-raid shelters in the future. It was simply an enlarged version of an air-raid shelter. This kind of cool feeling was very comfortable, much more comfortable than the hot desert.
Moreover, the whole person felt refreshed. In short, it felt more comfortable. If someone with a headache entered, their headache would quickly disappear. Was it not magical? The Great Pyramid was so magical. It was hard not to be convinced.
"Where is the Pharaoh's coffin? Let's go see the Pharaoh's coffin."
Osman had no interest in the stone walls inside the Great Pyramid. He was only interested in the Pharaoh's tomb. He wanted to personally check to confirm that there was really nothing in the Pharaoh's coffin. At the very least, he wanted to see what the Pharaoh's coffin looked like. If the coffin was a treasure, it would be very good.
As the Pharaoh's tomb was relatively far away, Ang Lee and Osman walked for a long time inside the Great Pyramid before they arrived at the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh. They saw an open coffin.
Osman hurriedly walked over to the coffin. He gently touched the coffin and searched for the treasures inside, but all he saw were a few curse words. There was no treasure. The coffin was just a stone coffin. It was not very expensive. It was not gold or silver, so it could not be exchanged for money.
Seeing that the Pharaoh's coffin was empty with his own eyes, Osman was very disappointed. He sighed unconsciously and felt very depressed.
