Chapter 32 Postscript My Egyptian Dream

In the New Year of 2010, I spent it on the Nile. When we set off from London, it was still snowy winter, but when we arrived in Egypt at the northern tip of Africa, it was already the golden season of tourism with sunny weather. The Nile Valley is a place beloved by God. Not only is it rich in products, it is suitable for farming. The dry climate surrounded by deserts also makes it difficult for bacteria and viruses to reproduce here. Therefore, large-scale diseases and plagues have never erupted since ancient times.To this day, when Pippi Shrimp and I were curiously observing the food of the locals on the streets of Cairo, despite the language barrier, the enthusiastic diners immediately scooped up the food with their own spoons and directly sent it to Pippi Shrimp’s mouth for him to taste. Then continue eating with that spoon.This kind of treatment made us not only a little apprehensive, but also felt a kind of wonderful kindness and touch.

However, although I met all kinds of local people in Egypt, witnessed all kinds of special customs in the Islamic world, and even slept in the black desert and white desert with alien characteristics for one night, I saw a spectacular starry sky that I had never imagined in my life. , it never occurred to me to write a novel about these rare circumstances.Just because, compared with modern Egypt, the shock brought by ancient Egyptian ruins and cultural relics is too intense, and the overwhelming spiritual impact exceeds all the wonders I have seen before at home and abroad. Our trip went down the Nile River, from Cairo in the north to Abu Simbel in the south. The means of transportation included five-star oil tankers, dirty long-distance buses, crowded hard-seat trains, and various taxis driven by locals.No matter the journey is comfortable or difficult, the destination has never let us down.And once the spectacle of space in front of you is thrown into the torrent of time, the shock will be magnified countless times in an instant:

The Pyramid, built in the Neolithic Age in China, was the tallest man-made structure in the world for thousands of years before the Eiffel Tower was built; The Temple of Karnak was built in the Xia Dynasty of China. There are more than 100 towering columns in the column hall, each of which needs five to seven adults to hug; The treasures of Pharaoh Tutankhamun were buried in the Shang Dynasty of China. The six-story coffin and other burial objects are exquisitely crafted. Even if I have visited the British Museum and the Louvre before, I am still amazed; That's why so many people suspect that the ancient Egyptian civilization was not owned by people on earth, but was established by aliens.

In fact, countless evidences show that this great civilization that has lasted for thousands of years was indeed created by the ancient earthlings.And the basis of all these wonders is their unique and magnificent religious system.It is precisely because of the infinite worship and belief in the gods that the ancient Egyptians were able to exhaust the wealth of the country and devote their entire lives to the construction of temples and artifacts. So, what kind of religious system inspired such incredible creativity in the Nile Valley when humans in other parts of the world were generally in a state of ignorance?Although I had read some books on the ancient Egyptian pantheon before going to Egypt, so as not to be confused when visiting various temples, when I returned to England from Egypt, the experience of the two weeks became more and more in my mind. It has become more and more vivid and exciting, so that I feel that I must go beyond the ancient Chinese background I have always written to write a story about the ancient Egyptian gods, especially the most influential nine-pillar god system.

The information that can be found on the Chinese Internet is limited. Fortunately, Egyptology in the UK is very developed. I found many monographs on the study of ancient Egyptian mythology in the library, and bit the bullet and read those English tomes one by one.Although the process was arduous, the fragmented and miscellaneous character relationships and related stories gradually formed a system. Gods such as Horus, Isis, Seth, Anubis, etc. are no longer the specific appearances on the murals, but have become Each one is flesh and blood, with fear, jealousy, love and sense of justice just like mortals.I can't help but imagine what it would be like if they really lived forever and came to our present society.

So, after nearly a year of hard work, I finally got this book based on the principle of strictly respecting the original meaning of mythology.I hope readers can have a preliminary understanding of the ancient Egyptian mythology after experiencing all kinds of things with Meri.If this really leads to an Egyptian mythology theme park, that would be my great merit.sweet dream...
