Different from the one- and two-layer human-shaped wooden coffins covered with gold foil that we saw before, the three-layer human-shaped coffin used to contain Tutankhamun’s mummy, which is the innermost human-shaped coffin, is Made entirely of gold.
This golden human-shaped coffin is about 187 centimeters long and weighs about 111 kilograms. It is made of a single gold plate about three centimeters thick. It is inlaid with a large number of sapphires and colored glazes. It can be said to be magnificent and radiant!
Like the other two human-shaped coffins, the image of the pharaoh on this golden human-shaped coffin was also sculpted in strict accordance with the rules of ancient Egypt’s “frontal law.”
The so-called law of frontality is a rule in ancient Egyptian sculpture and painting art, and it is also the most important principle. It must be strictly observed, especially when shaping the image of the Pharaoh.
The specific meaning is that when representing characters, the side of the head, the front of the eyes, the shoulders and the front of the body, and the side below the waist are used. Horizontal lines are used to divide the structure of the picture. The characters are arranged in an orderly manner, and even the animals are adults. Platoon appears.
The purpose of using the above expression techniques to process the human image is to make the human image characteristics more prominent and complete. This is also a reflection of the pursuit of completeness in Egyptian sculpture and painting.
The image of the pharaoh in this golden human-shaped coffin is also Osiris, the king of Hades. He holds a scepter symbolizing the supremacy of kings in his left hand, a flail in his right hand, and his hands crossed on his chest.
There are two gem badges engraved on its forehead, which are the serpent **** symbolizing the patron saint of Lower Egypt and the eagle **** symbolizing the patron saint of Upper Egypt.
The Nemer scarf crown used to wrap the head and neck and the pillar-shaped beard representing the sacred are all made of gold and enamel, which are extremely exquisite and dazzling.
On the legs of the pharaoh, there are reliefs of the goddess Isis and the goddess Nephthys respectively to protect the deceased pharaoh.
In the center and edges of this golden human-shaped coffin, there are many ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and exquisite patterns engraved on it, many of which are extremely vicious curses, used to protect the mummy of Tutankhamun inside the coffin.
Under the illumination of the light, this golden human-shaped coffin radiates a bright light, which is extremely dazzling, and even makes the area where the bulletproof glass display cabinet is located shine with splendor!
Looking at this golden human-shaped coffin, everyone, including Ye Tian, was completely shocked by it. They were all stunned, and some guys even covered their mouths and exclaimed in low voices.
Zhao Nan and Lin Yu also exclaimed.
“I’ll go! This is too luxurious, a 111 kilogram gold coffin, how does it feel to lie in it?”
Hearing Zhao Nan’s words, Ye Tian laughed directly.
“Hahaha”
With his laughter, the other tourists at the scene all woke up and looked at him.
Amazement flashed across the eyes of several of the tripartite joint exploration team members and archaeologists from Israel, and then they shook their heads and looked at Tutankhamun’s golden human-shaped coffin again.
Obviously, they heard Ye Tian’s laughter and felt a little familiar, but when they saw Ye Tian’s face, they felt very strange and thought they had heard it wrong!
After the laughter fell, Ye Tian whispered in a clear Mandarin:
“This is indeed very luxurious. Tutankhamun’s golden human-shaped coffin is one of the greatest and most exquisite gold artifacts ever discovered in the world. It is truly a priceless treasure.
Through this golden human-shaped coffin, we can see the general situation of the Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. At that time, the economy was developed and the arts were prosperous. It was the most powerful dynasty in the history of ancient Egypt.
The ancient Egyptian art at that time was very advanced in gold and silver inlay technology and mask technology, reaching a point where modern people are stunned. This human-shaped gold coffin is the evidence.
As for what it feels like to lie in this human-shaped golden coffin, only Tutankhamun knows. Maybe one day Tutankhamun is really resurrected, and he will be able to tell you this feeling! ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Nan hurriedly waved his hand and said hurriedly:
“Forget it, I don’t want to talk to a mummy that has been dead for more than three thousand years, even if he is a resurrected ancient Egyptian pharaoh, it is too scary!”
Looking at this guy’s performance, Ye Tian and Lin Yu laughed again.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu pointed to the statues of Isis and Nephthys carved on the legs of the humanoid golden coffin and asked:
“Who are these two goddesses? Why are they carved here? Is there any special purpose?”
Following the direction of her finger, Ye Tian looked at the two goddess statues, and then explained:
“That is Isis, the goddess of life in ancient Egyptian mythology, and Nephthys, the patron saint of houses and the dead. They are the two fourth-generation gods in the ancient Egyptian mythology system. The other two fourth-generation gods are Osi. Reese and Seth
These four ancient Egyptian gods were brothers and sisters from the same father and mother. When they grew up, they formed two couples. The eldest son Osiris and the eldest daughter Isis were a pair, and the second son Set and the second daughter Nei were a pair. Photis is a pair! ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Nan exclaimed in a low voice.
“Isn’t this a marriage of incest, or incest? The ancient Egyptians really knew how to play!”
“Hahaha”
Ye Tian laughed directly, and Lin Yu’s pretty face turned red instantly. He reached out and punched Zhao Nan twice and complained.
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian continued:
“Where is this! What’s even more exciting is yet to come. In fact, the tradition of incestuous marriage among these ancient Egyptian gods began with the first generation of gods, the sun **** Ra!
The **** Ra has a pair of children, two second-generation gods, Shu and Tefnut. They became a couple. Since then, this tradition has continued, and each generation of gods is married to close relatives!
The impact of this move on later generations is that in order to maintain the divinity and purity of their own bloodline, the ancient Egyptian pharaohs always married direct relatives of the royal family. This is a typical myth that affects history.
Back to this golden coffin, Isis and Nephthys are both the biological sisters of Osiris, and Isis is also the wife of Osiris, who gave birth to Horus, the **** of vengeance!
Nephthys is the wife of Seth, and Seth is the brother of Osiris. At a family banquet, a drunken Osiris had an affair with Nephthys and gave birth to Anubis, the **** of death!
One of the reasons Seth killed Osiris was that Osiris had an affair with Nephthys. Whether in China or ancient Egypt, it seems that no man can bear the humiliation of green!
Later, Anubis and Isis teamed up to resurrect Osiris. When Horus, the **** of revenge, grew up, he personally killed his uncle, Seth, to avenge his father!
It can be said that this is a **** tragedy of family ethics, or it can be said to be a tragedy of chaos! This is why the tradition of incestuous marriage among ancient Egyptian pharaohs came from this!
This bad habit of intermarriage caused many Egyptian pharaohs to have problems of one kind or another, such as physical deformity, mental retardation, etc. Tutankhamun’s early death may be related to this!
It is precisely because of the close relationship between Isis and Nephthys and Osiris, and they are the goddess of life and the patron saint of the dead respectively, that they are engraved on the legs of the statue of Osiris! ”
“I’ll go! This is too messy! Who dares to imagine such a relationship? It’s simply a messy history!”
Zhao Nan exclaimed again with an exaggerated expression.
“Hahaha”
Ye Tian immediately laughed, and Lin Yu also blushed and laughed a few times.
Because other people at the scene could not understand Chinese, they naturally had no idea what they were talking about and why they were laughing.
The tripartite joint exploration team members and experts and scholars from Israel also did not suspect Ye Tian anymore because they could not understand Chinese.
Several Chinese tourists who were also at the scene understood and laughed softly. Because they were traveling in a group and were led by tour guides, they did not come up to talk to Ye Tian and the others.
Next, Ye Tian continued to visit and appreciate the dazzling golden human-shaped coffin, and introduced to Zhao Nan and others the other stories hidden behind the golden coffin and the discovery process.
During this period, he secretly looked through Tutankhamun’s golden human-shaped coffin completely, not missing a single corner!
As the coffin containing the mummy of Tutankhamun, the death energy condensed on this golden human-shaped coffin is extremely rich and almost substantial, far exceeding the other funerary objects in this exhibition hall.
The only thing that can compare with it is the four alabaster jars containing Tutankhamen’s internal organs, and other antiques are far behind.
Inside and outside this golden humanoid coffin, Ye Tian did not find any unknown secrets, such as hidden mezzanines and so on.
This is normal. Since Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in the early 1920s, Tutankhamun’s golden mask and golden coffin have been the two most studied antiques.
For more than a hundred years, these two priceless treasures have been studied thoroughly by experts and scholars from all walks of life. Where are there any unknown secrets?
