Chapter 1113 I don't understand her crying
Standing on any colonnade in the Queen's Temple, you can overlook the Nile Valley in the distance. Because of the power of love, such a large-scale project was completed for decades early.
I don't know if it's because the temple is like the human being. The architectural style of the Queen Hachisu Temple is different from all Egyptian temples. It is extremely modern. Its square columns are completely different from any of the Greek three-pillar or Roman five-pillar derived from Egyptian columns.
The overall temple is simple, simple, with capable and tough lines. From the perspective of product design, Yunluo feels that it looks very similar to the lines of iPhone 4, without any redundancy, but without losing the majesty and solemnity of the top brand. In the most popular words now, it is definitely high-end, atmospheric and upscale!
It takes 6 hours to drive from Hurghada to Queen Hachisu Temple. There is no longer a beautiful Red Sea to accompany you, only endless deserts and stone mountains. But if you are lucky, you may see Bedouin people living a nomadic life in the desert based on clan tribes. They will lead camels, hold lambs, and timidly ask you to take photos or eat candy.
The tour guide said that when you go here now, all tourist buses need to gather at designated locations at the same time, and then be escorted by the police, but in fact, there were no police guards when Nalan Seqi and Yun Luo went.
In addition to the magnificent and domineering appearance of the temple, the second thing that is incredible is why there were such vivid murals thousands of years ago. On the first floor of the temple, there are a large number of exquisite murals on both sides of the second floor.
There are also those who describe the construction process of the temple, including the daughter of the sun god Amon, the wife of the eagle Horus, and Queen Hachisu, who has always claimed that she is the daughter of the sun god Amon in order to consolidate her dominance.

The Nile River is the mother of Egypt. It flows into the Mediterranean from south to north. It is the longest river in Africa and the longest river in the world. The Nile River originates from the Ethiopian Plateau, flows through the eight countries of Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Zaire, and Sudan, and finally flows into Egypt.
The total length is 6,700 kilometers. The Nile River is the lifeline of Egypt. Egypt only rains 1-2 times throughout the year, and even the rainfall time is very short, so almost all the Egyptian water sources come from the Nile River. It is the cradle of Egyptian culture and the birthplace of world culture.
Whether it is the new capital Cairo or the old capital Thebes more than 4,000 years ago, they must have surrounded this river of life. Thebes is now known as Luxor, and it was the capital of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt.
Homer's epic calls it "the capital of the Hundred Gates", which means "the city of palaces" in Arabic, which shows how many temples, palaces and tombs built by pharaohs of all ages here.
The ancient Egyptians admired the sun. With the Nile River as the boundary, the east bank where the sun rises is the world of living people, where people live and live, and build temples for worship of the gods; the west bank of the sunset place is the temple for the dead to rest, where people build the tombs of the pharaohs and temples for sacrifice.
Therefore, the Luxor Temple and the Karnak Temple, which worship the sun god, are on the east bank of the Nile River in Luxor City, while the Kings Valley, the Queen Hachisu Temple and the statue of Monon who guard the Pharaoh's Temple are on the west bank of the Nile River.
When you come to Luxor, the statue of Monon is almost a must-see attraction, even if it is not as magnificent as a temple, even if it is beyond recognition. But in the loneliness of the desert, it always guards the temple of the long-disappeared Pharaoh Amenhotep, who had long disappeared behind him in a 20-meter-high sitting position.
The statue of Monon (colos ofmemnon), also known as the statue of Menon, is two rocky statues standing on the plain between the west bank of the Nile River and the Valley of the Kings. It was originally a funeral temple built by Amon Hothap III, the 19th Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom, for himself, but now the temple is gone.
Only two huge sitting statues that have been weathered and very severely, as if telling the proverb of eternal age in Egypt: Thebes, you will become sand and dust, and only stones will speak for you.
The name of the statue of Mononon comes from Greek mythology. Mononon is a king in Greek mythology. He won the Trojan War and was later killed by his queen and his lover. According to historical records, an earthquake occurred here during the Roman rule, causing cracks to appear in the statue, and whenever the wind blew.
The colossus will make a sound like a person crying. Because the temples behind the statue have been completely destroyed, people cannot examine the true meaning of the statue, so they named the statue after the tragic Mengnong in Greek mythology.
But unfortunately, in 200 AD, a kind-hearted Roman emperor ordered the repair of the already ruined stone statue. From then on, the crying statue of Monon never cried again.
After visiting the huge statue of Mononon, whether you are going to Luxor Temple or Karnak Temple, you have to go from the west bank of the Nile River to the east bank. The fastest way is of course to take a boat. If it is noon, you have a nice lunch on the cruise ship and then lazy to admire the beautiful Nile River on the deck, it will be a very pleasant thing!
But you must not just be lazy. Looking into the west bank of the river, the red Thebes Mountains will rush into your sight with its majestic and dusty body; if you carefully observe the east bank of the river, you will find that the Temple of Luxor is like a holy ship docking on the banks of the Nile.
The Temple of Luxor (Luxora) is the owner of the statue of Monon, the 19th Pharaoh Amon Hotaip III of the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. It was built to worship the sun god Amon, his wife, Goddess Mut, and his son, God of Moon. It was later expanded by Ramses II.
From the Nile River, you can clearly see the famous octaves and colonnades in the Luxor Temple. Only one octave is not as huge as Yunluo expected, but it is like the mast on a holy ship, recording the immortal civilization on the Nile River. I wonder if the one who was transferred to France by Muhammad Ali would miss it.
Before going to Egypt, Yunluo read some introductions about the Karnak Temple, because except for hearing about the "Trama in the Nile", I have seen it here. I know very little about the rest. However, the contents on the books are surprisingly consistent, like textbooks, even though it is not boring.
But it really cannot arouse the fantasy of clouds falling like a pyramid. No wonder when talking about Egypt, people only think of pyramids. But the Karnak Temple occupies an important position in Egypt's history, and is even higher than the pyramids in Egypt's own miracle ranking.
What exactly is the reason? It is difficult to explain it like a textbook. It is said that the pyramids are just relics of the ancient Egyptian kingdom around the 26th century BC, and when ancient Egypt entered the 11th dynasty.
The Pharaoh moved the capital to Thebes, which is now Luxor. Therefore, the remains of the Central Kingdom of Egypt and the New Kingdom period were mostly concentrated in Thebes, and the Karnak Temple is the largest and most spectacular temple in Thebes.
Yunluo doesn’t know if this reason can convince you, but it really can’t impress Yunluo. When Yunluo was really in the Karnak Temple, Yunluo finally understood how spectacular it was! And what does this spectacular mean!
Yunluo didn't know whether the things written by those who had been to the Karnak Temple were really derived from the heart, whether it was really because of its huge building scale, or the magnificent and solemnity of the 134 giant stone pillars, or the magical separation and transportation of the minaret, so he said how shocking this temple is.
When Yun Luo stopped in the pillars of the Karnak Temple, he actually felt like he was under the huge male genitals. They were as thick as giant trees, so big that they soared into the sky!
Yunluo didn’t know if it was because of the evolution of human civilization that deliberately covered up history, or because people who have been there were shy to express their true feelings. In short, this is definitely a huge forest of male genitals!
This must be a record of the customs and religious beliefs of ancient reproductive worship. This is the real reason why the Karnak Temple is spectacular! And how spectacular it is, you must be there!
After visiting the entire temple and reviewing the many mysteries of history, Yun Luo thought that this conjecture should be more than a conjecture. The Karnak Temple, which was built during the Middle Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, covers an area of more than 30 hectares and has been continuously built for nearly 2,000 years, consists of three parts. The largest in the middle is the Amon Temple, which is dedicated to the sun god Amon.
On one side is the temple dedicated to Amon's wife, the goddess of war, Mut, and on the other side is the temple of their son, the Moon God Cons.
To be precise, Amon was once the local god of Thebes. He was the god of reproduction and represented the power of reproduction; and the god of the sun was Ra (ra). After Thebes, the eleventh dynasty of Egypt, became the capital, Amon's status also rose rapidly. Pharaoh ordered that the whole country only be allowed to believe in Amon, the main god.
Since then, Amon and La merged into one and became the king of the gods - Amon-La, abbreviated as Amon. The pharaohs on earth all claim to be the sons of the sun god Amon.
Amon, the creator of all things, is depicted as a human figure, wearing a headband, with two long feathers stretching straight upwards on the headband. The most common saying now is to symbolize the feathers of an eagle.
There is another saying that it is the interpretation of male genitals, because when Amon appeared as a local god, he was a reproductive god and a rich god. The pharaohs all wanted to sow food in front of him and cut off the first bundle of harvest.
In front of the first tower of Karnak Temple is the famous "Ram Avenue". It is said that it is one of the incarnations of Amon, but in fact the ram and goose are two divine beasts of Amon.
There is a little-known ancient legend: Amon never showed his true form to anyone, and his son Cons is no exception. Cons asked Amon to show his true form to him, but Amon was unwilling to make an exception, but he could not bear to refuse his son. So he wrapped himself in the skin and head of a ram and appeared in front of his son.
Cons thought he saw his father's true face, so he told everyone the secret. Ancient Egypt no longer killed rams. He only killed one on Amon's birthday every year, and used its skin to wrap the statue of Amon's god. In ancient Egypt, rams and gooses were symbols of sexual ability.
Among the numerous murals in Egypt, women can often be seen holding a goose in their hands, and the same is true.
The ancient reproductive worship is a kind of praise and yearning for the reproductive ability of the primitive people in the biological world, a manifestation of the pursuit of prosperity of grain production and happiness in life, and is pure and beautiful. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's ancient people also said: "Food is color and nature". Even the "Da Vinci Code" depicts the ancient religious rituals.
Therefore, it is natural and reasonable to show the columns in the Karnak Temple that are male genitals. Especially the most famous column hall, the 16 rows, 134 giant stone pillars with a width of about 3 meters and a height of 12.8-21 meters, are of no value because the columns themselves are large, nor are they like the columns described in the book that are lotus on the top.
It is a huge forest of male genitals, because every pharaoh hopes that his people will have enough food and clothing and reproduce continuously. Rather than saying that the Karnak Temple is the largest temple on the earth supported by pillars, it is better to say that it is the largest temple on the earth supported by male genitals.
Yun Luo thought about this and Da Vinci must have guessed it. Da Vinci was a rare all-rounder in the history of human civilization. He was not only a genius painter, philosopher, musician, mathematician, etc., but also an architect. Greek architecture, Roman architecture, and Renaissance architecture all evolved from the columnar patterns of ancient Egypt.
So, Da Vinci must have guessed that he hid this secret in Mona Lisa's smile. As mentioned earlier, Amon (a touch n) is the male reproductive god, while the female reproductive god is called Isis (i private s). Ancient words once read it as lisa, so A touch nlisa (Ammon Lisa), Mona Lisa (a touch nalisa), what do you think?
The red sea in the desert is always shrouded in slight sand and dust, like an Islamic woman with a beautiful face but a veil covering her face. You can only see her big and bright eyes, beautiful and charming, but this is enough to attract you and never forget her. But she will never reveal the mysterious veil to you.
Because only Dasha is her man, she becomes extremely petite and charming in the arms of her vast and energetic man. Only she understands the loneliness and perseverance of the desert, and leans on each other for 20 million years.
