One day in May, Simon Prescott, a professor of ancient writing at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, received a call from his friend Dr. Mays. Mays is an archaeologist who has a history of archeology. achievement. On the phone, Mais’s voice was a bit agitated. He said, “Simon, you go online immediately, and I’ll send you something.” Mais sent a few photos, showing some pottery fragments. Mais said vaguely: “If you can help me decipher the text on the pottery as soon as possible, I will be very grateful.”
Simon studied these photos wholeheartedly. Two weeks later, Simon finally made a breakthrough. These texts are a kind of text between ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and secular texts. Because of the incompleteness, Simon only interpreted part of the content: “…Death is not the end. … When the tomb is reopened, the great Anubis will be resurrected in the flames… He will sprinkle the blood of living people on the top of the tower to celebrate the new birth…”
Simon couldn’t help but think of the curse of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh that has been circulating, and couldn’t help worrying about Mais. But when he tried to contact Mays, Mays’s cell phone could not be connected. A month later, Mais suddenly appeared in front of him. He asked absently: “Has the text been interpreted?” Simon took out the translation and handed it to Mays. Mess muttered softly, his face suddenly changed, and he turned his head and staggered away.
A few days later, Simon accidentally saw a piece of news on the TV, and couldn’t help being dumbfounded. A serious fire broke out in an apartment in Dundee. The police found two charred bodies at the scene of the fire and confirmed that one of them was the famous archaeologist Mays, and the other was a mummy thousands of years ago…
Thinking of Mays’s weird performance that day, those ominous inscriptions immediately appeared in Simon’s mind. Simon called the Dundee police station, and the operator contacted Inspector Havas who was in charge of the fire investigation. Simon arrived in Dundee overnight and visited Hawass early the next morning. Hawass shook Simon’s hand and said, “Although the fire burned down the entire building, one very important thing was preserved.” As he said, he took out a black diary from the drawer and pushed it in front of Simon. “Fortunately, the safe used by Mr. Mays has a fireproof function.”
Simon took the diary home and studied carefully one by one, and the contents shocked him!
A few months ago, a five-person archaeological team led by Mais discovered a thousand-year-old tomb in the rocky valley near the small village of Babti in the south of the Nile. On April 15th, the first stone gate that blocked everyone’s eyes was opened. What excited them was that the first tomb was filled with rich funerary objects. It’s a pity that the pottery pieces that recorded the inscriptions were broken. The emotional Mais immediately took photos of them. After a few hours to the nearest city, he contacted his old friend Simon. He hoped that the ancient writing expert could help unlock the identity of the tomb owner. mystery of.

After half a month, they opened a side room beside the passage and found a mummy inside. In terms of location, this mummy shouldn’t be the owner of the tomb, so what is his identity? Mays would like to ship it back to China to study it.
A terrible thing happened after the mummy was discovered. After moving the mummy, the archaeological team member Kus suddenly looked abnormal, his chest became stuffy, and he died soon after. On May 8, the second stone gate was opened. In an instant, everyone’s breathing seemed to stop, and a golden scepter appeared in front of them. After discussion, several people reached an agreement to temporarily hand over the scepter to Mais for safekeeping. After returning to China, they found a buyer, and several people shared the income equally.
However, the nightmare appeared again. That night, the archaeological team member Mai Yi suddenly disappeared. What is even more shocking is that there is a large blood stain on the top of the hill-that is, the top of this “pyramid” tower! The remaining three people suddenly lost the courage to continue. Mark said: “Let’s take these treasures back to China.”
On June 7, the three finally returned to the UK smoothly, and Kus’s body will be transported back home by sea. However, because Mais really wanted to own the mummy, he secretly replaced the corpse of Kus with the ancient corpse during the final shipment…
The diary ends here. The next day, Simon met with Havas again. “Is there really a pharaoh’s curse?” Simon asked worriedly. Hawass shook his head, and said, “I have read the diary several times. From the diary, there are five people in this archeological team. Now three have been killed; there is another named Mark. The other Mais never mentioned his name. According to my inference, one of them must be a murderer. The motive is also very simple. It is a priceless golden scepter.”
Simon suddenly remembered that Mais had mentioned a few months ago that he had bought a house and planned to build a small museum for his collection. Simon tried hard to recall the location of the house, vaguely remembering what seemed to be the “special way” of the city of Aberyst. Hawass heard this and immediately sent someone to investigate it. The results soon came out. There really is a Tradao in the city of Aberystwyth, and the owner of the house at No. 9 Tradao is Mais. (Uncle Ghost: http://www.guidaye.com/ please keep the reprint!)

Hawass then drove a car over and Simon followed Up. Several police officers immediately dispersed and surrounded the house. Hawass came to the gate, took a sharp kick, and kicked the wooden gate open. With the light coming in from outside, Hawass saw at a glance that there was a man lying face down on the ground at the top of the stairs. He walked over and turned the man over, and Simon, who was standing beside him, cried out, “God! He is. Mark!”
There was a blood stain under Mark, who had been dead for a long time. “Do you still say there is no pharaoh’s curse?”Simon asked with palpitations. Hawass said with a strained face: “We are late, but I am sure that the mysterious fifth person is the murderer!” “
A few days later, Simon received a call from Hawass, and he said frustratedly: “Damn it!” They took an airplane when they left the country. Records showed that there were only four people. Who was the mysterious fifth person? Is it really a ghost? None of the four known archaeological team members survived. Perhaps these people really caused their deaths because they alarmed underground ghosts. “Simon was silent for a while. After that, the case was called a mysterious event and hung up. However, on one day in May of the following year, the case turned around and turned around.
On this day, a businessman found Simon and said that he was planning to buy a gold scepter dug from an Egyptian pyramid, but he didn’t know the truth or not. There were some strange symbols engraved on the thing. The man would transcribe the text. The paper was handed to him, Simon glanced twice, his expression suddenly became solemn, these words were actually the same kind of words that Mays asked him to decipher. Simon, secretly frightened, dialed Havas’s phone.
A few days later, Hawass personally came to visit Simon, and at the same time uncovered the mystery of the whole incident for him.
The police used the businessman to induce the golden scepter. The seller, and then captured him. To Hawass’ surprise, he was Mess who was killed in the fire! It turns out that the mysterious fifth person was deliberately fabricated by Mess to confuse the police. There are only four real archaeological teams. Famous members: Mays, Mark, Mai and Kus! The greedy desire made the four people decide to dig the grave privately, but the original proposer, Mark, had ulterior motives. He felt that there were too many people sharing the spoils, so he secretly used poison to remove the library. Si. When the second stone door opened, he secretly shot Mai Yi again, stabbed him and pushed him into a deep hole. But all that Mark did did not escape Mais’s eyes. In order to confuse the police, Mais bought an extra ferry ticket when he returned to the country. When he returned to the UK, Mais knew that Mark was going to deal with him sooner or later, so he designed to set the apartment on fire and create the illusion that he was dead. The corpse found in the apartment was just a substitute for the dead man Meese found in the name of hiring an hourly worker.
Mark thought that everyone had been eliminated, so he slipped into Meese’s private museum and prepared to have it alone. The golden scepter, but he did not expect that Mays suddenly appeared in front of him, making Mark, who was a guilty conscience, greatly panicked, thinking that he had encountered a ghost, and Mays took advantage of his loss of defense and killed him, and took the golden scepter. Take it away.
After listening to Hawass’s account, Simon hasn’t spoken for a long time. Finally, he sighed faintly: “The effect of the Pharaoh’s curse is entirely due to human beings. Greed! “
