The Key of Life, also called the Talisman of Life, also known as Ankh, is a character in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, which is interpreted as life. It is one of the important symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization.
In ancient Greek civilization, it was also considered by the ancient Greeks to be a symbol of life and resurrection, and was interpreted as a ‘handled cross’.
Its shape is a bit like a T with a circle handle above it. It is not only a symbol of life, but also a symbol of royal power.
The Key of Life is the oldest talisman of the gods in Egypt. This symbol is often found in ancient Egyptian cemeteries and art, and ancient Egyptian mirrors are often made in this shape.
Many gods in ancient Egypt, such as the sun **** Ra, the goddess of life Isis, the **** of revenge Horus, the **** of wealth Hathor, etc., all of these gods hold the key to life.
Because of its special meaning, the Key of Life was also made into an amulet by the ancient Egyptians to carry around. It exists alone and is related to the other two ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The two hieroglyphs are ‘Strength’ and ‘ healthy’.
In modern times, the Talisman of Life is widely used in popular culture, representing a long history, mysterious power, and is also a symbol of ancient Egypt.
Because of this, various forms of life symbols can be seen throughout Egypt.
Among them are individual sculptures, some held in the hands of various gods in ancient Egypt, some from ancient Egypt, and some made by later generations. The number is extremely large.
However, almost all ancient Egyptian life symbols discovered so far have never been engraved with the sun **** Ra. Images of other ancient Egyptian gods are very common.
This may be because Ra is the highest **** in ancient Egyptian mythology and the creator of life. He is regarded by the ancient Egyptians as the creator. His status is supreme and he is not allowed to be engraved on the Talisman of Life!
The ‘Key of Life’ in front of you is clearly engraved with the image of the sun **** Ra, so it gives people a somewhat unorthodox feeling!
Perhaps it is for this reason that this stone sculpture from ancient Egypt was considered to be a fabricated fake, and thus was ignored and thrown into the corner without anyone paying attention!
More importantly, this ancient Egyptian sculpture of the Talisman of Life is not a funerary object. There is no lingering air of death on it, but a living aura, which is also a surprise.
Obviously, this ‘Key to Life’ sculpture should have been buried somewhere in the Egyptian desert before. It was discovered by chance and ended up in this antique shop.
Ye Tian’s eyes swept across this priceless ancient Egyptian stone sculpture, and then looked at the stone slab in front of him that was engraved with many ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and exquisite patterns, looking very interested.
In fact, this is a fictitious so-called antique cultural relic. It was only made three or four years ago. It will definitely sting your hands when you touch it!
The middle-aged clerk looked at Ye Tian, then at the stone slab, and then started to explain. Naturally, it was a lot of talk and explanation!
Ye Tianke thought he was listening to a story and listened with interest.
When the middle-aged clerk finished the introduction, he just nodded and said thank you, but did not say whether he wanted to buy this so-called ancient Egyptian cultural relic.
Then he walked to another adjacent shelf and continued to admire the things on that shelf.
His behavior made the middle-aged clerk a little confused and froze on the spot.
Soon, half an hour passed.
Ye Tian walked out of the antique shop on the street. Just like when he went in, he was still empty-handed and had not purchased anything.
As soon as he walked out of the antique store, he saw Walker standing across the street and Peake standing on the side of the antique store. The two guys had changed their appearance.
Seeing him coming out, the two guys nodded slightly, then followed him and continued walking along the street.
At this time, the street has returned to calm.
The Egyptian thieves who were beaten up by Walker and the others have all been taken away by the Cairo police and sent to the hospital. They are expected to stay in the hospital for a while.
While marching, Ye Tian casually took out his mobile phone and started sending text messages to that guy Bowie, asking him to take people to the antique store just now and buy some antique artifacts that he had his eye on.
In addition to the Talisman of Life sculpture engraved with the image of the **** Ra, deep in the antique shop, he also found the tip of a broken obelisk, which came from ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. A top-notch antique artifact.
The tip of the obelisk should have been wrapped in gold, or bronze and gold and silver alloys, and should have been engraved with a large number of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns to worship the sun. It is the most distinctive symbol of ancient Egypt. one.
In this way, when the rising sun shines on the top of the monument, it will shine like a dazzling sun.
It is a pity that the wrapping on the tip of the obelisk, that is, the outer skin of gold or gold-silver alloy, has long been peeled off, exposing the granite underneath.
On the cone-shaped granite, there are some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and some patterns derived from ancient Egyptian mythology. Many of the words and patterns are blurred and have been severely weathered.
The only remaining clearly identifiable hieroglyphics and patterns do not indicate which dynasty of ancient Egypt the obelisk came from or which pharaoh built it.
Furthermore, the tip of the obelisk was severely damaged, and its value as a cultural relic and collection seemed to be greatly reduced, so it was ignored.
But in Ye Tian’s eyes, the tip of the obelisk was radiating a dazzling light, and the whole body was full of fresh aura, as dazzling as the sun!
It was naturally impossible for Ye Tian to let go of such a top-notch antique cultural relic.
In addition to these two antique artifacts from ancient Egypt, he also discovered a sculpture from the Roman period, which was a bust of an Egyptian noble.
That sculpture also has a bit of Arab cultural flavor. It is a cultural relic from the transition period from Roman rule to Arab rule in Egypt. It has a certain value!
In addition, there are several valuable top-quality antiques and works of art in that antique shop.
It is a pity that the owner of the antique shop is very aware of the value of those antique cultural relics and works of art, and regards them as treasures. Although Ye Tian is jealous, he can only look at them and cannot acquire them!
While speaking, Ye Tian had finished sending the message and immediately put away his phone.
Then he walked some distance further and saw that guy Bowie and two of his men got out of an SUV parked on the street and walked straight to the antique store not far away. .
That guy didn’t know what Ye Tian looked like now, so naturally he didn’t say hello to Ye Tian who was walking on the other side of the street. The two of them just passed each other on both sides of the street!
Ye Tian just smiled softly, without stopping at all, and walked towards another antique shop not far ahead to continue his search.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.
When the lights were on, Ye Tian and Pique returned to the Nile Hotel in a bulletproof SUV, laughing and chatting as they walked into the hotel lobby.
At this time, they have all returned to their own appearances. They look like they have just returned to the hotel after a day of fun. They are no different from other tourists who come to Egypt!
However, several Egyptian antiquities policemen guarding the lobby of the Nile Hotel frowned when they saw them.
Without exception, these Egyptian antiquities policemen all have a very bad feeling!
The day that **** Steven disappears, maybe an antique shop or antique market in Cairo has suffered a bloodbath, but no one knows it!
