[The king of Assyria heard people talking about Tahakar, king of Cush, saying: "He came out to fight with you."-Isaiah 37:9]

The Old Testament records that in the seventh century BC, the Assyrians were preparing to attack Jerusalem, razing it to the ground and turning it into desolation.Nubia and Egypt's Pharaoh Tahakar assembled an army to the northern edge of their empire to defend Jerusalem from Assyrian attacks.

Tahakar sent people to tell the Assyrian king to fight with him.

Tahakar was the first to conquer Egypt, King Kush, and established the 25th Dynasty of Egypt.

There are two snakes in the pharaoh's crown, representing that he is the ruler of Nubia and Egypt.

...

The Nubian Pyramid Group is numerous and widely distributed.

Because of Zhou Haorui’s search records, the first joint team headed from Cairo, Egypt, to Shendi, where the Meroe pyramids are located. This is a small town in northern Sudan, about 45 kilometers southwest of Shendi is Meroe. Ruins of the ancient city.

However, the United Team seemed to be a few steps late again. Deng Ximei and Xiao Xu both felt heavier and more chaotic there, but found nothing.

Meroe is no longer the central point of the incident, perhaps never.

This took them a day. At the same time, the global floods and petrochemical epidemics have been out of control. Many areas have lost their rescue capabilities. You can only watch the collapsed cities being submerged by floods, and countless lives are buried in stagnant water; many areas have also lost Before this, the number of confirmed petrochemical patients worldwide exceeded 10 million.

Ten million is not just a seemingly big number, it is ten million people, countless families.

The weight of these lives is greater than the pressure of the flood, but the frontline members cannot stop themselves and immerse themselves in grief, and can only continue to rush to the next place.

Karima, another small town in northern Sudan, the ruins of the ancient city of Napata in another pyramid cluster is just northwest of Karima.

Karima and Shendi are about 400 kilometers farther north.Before Meroe became the capital of the Kush, Napata was the capital of the 25th Dynasty and the center of worship for the "Nubia-Amon" worshipped by the Kush.

If the ceremonial center of the Little Ram Order is not in Meroe, it can only be Napata.

...

"The Little Rams Cult likes to quote the contents of the "Bible". I don't know if it is just a metaphor or has other deep meanings.

However, there is a mainstream hypothesis in the academic circle that'King Cush' refers to Tahakar, the founder of the 25th Dynasty, the pharaohs of Nubia, Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.Because he sent troops to fight against the Assyrian king Sinahrib, the Assyrian king finally gave up the siege, and the Assyrians could no longer advance to Jerusalem.

Since the "Ten Plagues of Egypt", the Little Ram Order has considered itself as a Jew, and has referred to those of us who do not believe in the God of Little Rams and black goats as Egyptians.Therefore, I think the founder of this order is likely to be Jewish.But it's not just that, because gods can transform their descendants from stones. Little Rams are spread across all races around the world. They are experts and professors who study ancient Egyptology and ancient Kush, and a group of very mature and prudent elderly people. .

These people have considered the identity of the only God, the Lord, as the god they believe in.

In this case, Tahakar, king of Cush, who conquered Egypt, was an envoy of Little Ram, just like Moses.We are not only Egyptians, we are so-called'infidels', so we are also Assyrians, especially Assyrians.Those of us on the front line are not like the Assyrians who are going to attack Jerusalem?And that unknown power, those crows...are also Assyrians.

King Cush sent someone to tell the King of Assyria that he came out to fight you.

And now, we came to the Pyramid Tomb of Tahakar, the Protector of Jerusalem, but we looked around and didn’t find it.

In fact, I was not surprised at all, because archaeology is also such a process.You are looking for a legendary site. You will not only find it in one place. It will often be a long and long journey without any valuable discoveries.Those archaeologists who believe in Little Ram are most familiar with this kind of thing, so they are also good at playing this kind of game.Although we have found King Cush along the way, they will not be here so simply.

It's just that they won't be here, because if King Cush is really an envoy, then they can't be here.Only here can there be such a connecting power that can drive the entire ceremony. This is where the Kush kings return and the most suitable place for the'Nubia-Amon' to descend.

In this same space, people here called Amon's name 2,700 years ago.It's just that the time has not arrived, and the name of the gods is missing, they did not succeed, but they left a special connection.Little Ram Cultists need that kind of power.

It must be here, the Napata Royal Cemetery created by Tahaka.

The matter has a beginning and an end. If it were not for the first pyramid here-the tomb of Tahakar, then it would most likely be the last pyramid here-the tomb of Nastason.

When Nastason was in power, it was already the fourth century BC. At that time, Egypt and Kush split again, and the Kush kingdom was going downhill.After Nastassen, the capital will be moved to Meroe.This also means that the strongest period of the Kushi Kingdom is coming to an end.

Nastason is a full stop, a watershed, and an end.

Now, the Little Ram cult will start again, to bring their gods down, start again from that end point, this is a continuation.

For these reasons, I infer that the place we are really looking for is the Pyramid of Nastassen here.

In addition, due to the continuous rise of groundwater levels in Nubia, many tombs under these pyramids were submerged by groundwater.Nastason’s tomb is one of them. The three tombs under the pyramid have long been submerged.

For many years, no archaeological team has tried underwater archaeology in Sudan, without the technology, and there are too many other sites that can be studied in Nubia, and they are busy, so they have not moved.But this is just for the face, I don't know if the tomb robber has ever touched it.On the bright side, in 2018, the Egyptologist and underwater archaeologist Chrisman of the University of Arizona in Citigroup finally led a team to move the tomb of Nastason.

They dug up the stairs leading to the underground, and in order to prevent the rock from collapsing and trapping underwater people, they used steel chutes to reinforce the narrow tomb.After completing these tasks, they dived to explore three tombs, and went to the third innermost tomb to see the sarcophagus of Nascenta.

They believe that the groundwater has prevented the tomb robbers. The tomb has not been artificially destroyed, but it is also because of the groundwater that many cultural relics in it have been dissolved.They brought out some cultural relics, which were in tatters.

I now suspect that Chrisman’s team is a member of the Little Rams’ Order, because Chrisman died in a bizarre car accident a year ago. Who knows if he really died?Professor Liu Jiecheng and Professor Zhang Zhang also died that year.There are also several other members of the team who disappeared before the disaster broke out. It is not such a coincidence.Among the things they unearthed at the time, there must be something the Little Ram Order was looking for.In addition, only they have been to the three crypts, and no one else knows what arrangements they have made in them.Because their cameras can be faked.

That place is undoubtedly very dangerous now, even if there is no abnormal power, it is inherently dangerous.

No one knows what the underwater environment is, whether it will collapse, whether it is weird.

However, we must send a death squad to explore in the end, because we can’t blow it up as soon as we pass. It may cause damage to the ceremony, but it may also lead to other consequences, and the sacrifice of a few lives on the front line is for the overall situation. This is acceptable.

This is my opinion."

The scorching sun exposed the tombs, and the low and broken Pyramid of Kush stood on the desert.

After Xiaoxu said, the boy's face was still expressionless and not breathing, but this may be the longest and most talked time in his life.

Lou Xiaoning looked at the child and was stunned for a few seconds. The brain still needs time to digest so much information at once, "I remember you are not an archaeologist."

"Yes, I am not." Xiaoxu said, "I am good at mathematics, and archaeology is just a bit of my amateur research."

Everyone around looked at each other, and everyone looked at each other. Feng Peiqian really knew that Tianji Bureau had such a powerful guy, and he stopped talking: "Speaking of archaeology, of course Captain Yu is good at... but Xiaoxu, you are also pretty good."

"Xiao Xu makes sense." Deng Ximei nodded in agreement.

Hubbard Scott of Citigroup FBM confirmed the information Xiaoxu said that the Chrisman team has indeed been listed as suspicious.

"Let's go!" Lou Xiaoning waved his hand and glanced at the Pyramid of Tahakar. "Why are we staying here? Go to the Mausoleum of Nastason."

She feels a little bit that her IQ is not enough. When did this kid sort out this?Everyone was clearly acting together. From Cairo to Meroe and here, they stayed together almost all the time. No one got more information than others. How could Xiaoxu...

But when I think about it, Xiaoxu used a laptop to check some information and shared information about FBM.

At the moment, the first united team immediately rushed to the Pyramid of Nastassen not far away.

Since many tombs here are submerged by underground water, the logistics side has already made preparations for underwater archaeological equipment, as well as the most advanced underwater robots, underwater firearms and so on.

As for draining groundwater, this cannot be done.The river of the Nile is right next to the town of Klima. The town was built next to the river bank and has a population of 14,000. These people are now being evacuated and controlled urgently. No one knows if there are any Rams believers inside.

Just because of the existence of the Nile River, this seemingly counter-intuitive fact-there is a flood of water under the pyramids in the desert.

Therefore, the groundwater in the Mausoleum of Nastassen is inexhaustible. Even if a part of it is to be pumped away, the time it takes is not waiting for the front line. The water of the Nile River has begun to become turbulent, as if it was the eve of a storm.

When the united team arrived at their destination, they looked at the huge and broken pile of earth and rocks, and the staircase that was excavated by the Chrisman expedition, leading to the tomb deep below the pyramid, and the end of the staircase was filled with khaki. The groundwater is silent at this time.

It's just that Deng Ximei and Xiaoxu are no longer required to make judgments. Anyone with extensive frontline experience will feel that something is wrong.

On that piece of groundwater, a faintly black color flowed past.

The special operations personnel in the joint team, Li Zhenjing, Zhang Jingjing and others also frowned.

"Deputy Captain Li, you are responsible for reporting to Master Tong and conducting routine tests of underwater robots."

Lou Xiaoning retracted his gaze from the entrance of the darker underwater passage, looked around at the people around him, and said, "A death squad ready to go on an expedition. Regardless of everyone's wishes, the space inside is limited, a team of 12 people. The left and right teams will do."

The bottom surface of the Pyramid of Nastya is about 930 square meters. Although it is not big compared with the pyramids of Egypt, it was originally spacious, but because part of it has collapsed, there are also rocks, silt, etc., and the topography inside is both cramped and cramped. complex.

And there is another fatal point. The underwater terrain information they have was discovered by the Chrisman team... What if it is not?

So this squad is a death squad in the death squad. It may not die if you fight on the front line. If you go down, you must be prepared for death.

"Captain Lou, let me go." At this time, a young voice suddenly appeared, but Chen Jiahua stood up excitedly.

He blushed because of his excitement, and he also knew that Gu Jun’s tomb was desecrated by the enemy, “I want to say something, if it’s not right, I’ll laugh. The uncertainty of this expedition is too great, and you shouldn’t directly ask you, Captain Lou. Go, you are all capable and have a more important role. Generals are different from Xianden dead men. People like me should clear the way. If there is just a trap, death will only kill me."

Everyone suddenly looked different, and Uncle Dan was a little anxious: "You young man..."

Lin Sheng Bonne, who was not far away, didn't speak, and didn't really want to go any further.

"What kind of person are you?" Lou Xiaoning scolded Chen Jiahua, a little anxious, but not because he was angry, "Also ascend to the dead...I am the first to ascend the dead. Chen Jiahua, you have the kind, go and fight Give your family a call; the others don’t need to fight, I’ll just pick a few. He’s right, this small team can’t put the main force in. Xiao Xu! I’m going down, you come to be the temporary captain, Your kid is better than me as the captain."

Lou Xiaoning's voice was rough, and a heavy weight had already weighed on everyone's hearts. Xiao Xu said, "Okay."

At the same time, routine tests are being carried out one by one.

But as expected, the underwater robot disconnected the signal and lost contact before it finished walking the underwater stairs.
