There were only five people left in the thirteen-person expedition team here. Dr. Hunter almost collapsed, but he still managed to collect himself, picked up the package left by Alyosha, and continued to move forward.
They thought that there would be another long, cramped corridor next, but what they didn't expect was that the road behind the platform was much wider and not too long. After walking less than a hundred meters, Tom and the others saw a field in front of them.
Sand.
The texture of the sand is fine, each particle is uniform in size, and has a beautiful light golden color. It looks like the best sea sand at first glance.
This sandy area is very wide and occupies the entire corridor, but it is not as long as the sand pit used for long jump on the playground.
"Why is there sand here?" Hermione was a little confused. She stood on the edge of the sand and was very careful not to touch it rashly. Instead, she looked at her companion, hoping to get an answer.
"Maybe it's the quicksand trap like before?" Sarah walked up to her side and inserted the cold sparkle into it, but to her surprise, the sand was only an inch deep.
"It should be the sand used to absorb the moisture in the air in the pyramid." Dr. Hunter gave an answer based on his own experience, "Of course, if you don't take the magic factor into account, that's the case."
Hermione glanced at Tom, hoping to get some reference from him, but Tom couldn't see the reason. He could only shake his head, saying that he didn't know, but his intuition told him that this piece of sand should
is harmless.
He took the initiative to step on the sand.
Nothing happened, the sand didn't even reach the soles of his shoes.
They crossed the sand safely.
After Tom and the others passed through a small patch of sand and walked for a while, they saw a huge dark golden door. There were also two black cat statues on the left and right of the door.
When they stood in front of the gate, the gate moved on its own and opened from the middle inward. The two doors, one left and one right, deflected inward at a certain angle and stopped moving, eventually forming a figure "eight".
It was dark behind the door.
Sara threw the cold fireworks in her hand, and then the old man Yushad took the initiative to take the lead and walked in. When the two cold fireworks illuminated the decoration in the room, he stayed where he was.
"Oh God..." His mouth was open and his eyes were blank.
Tom was a little curious and followed him in. When he saw the things on both sides of the aisle clearly, he also felt an oncoming sense of suffocation. And he believed that almost everyone would feel suffocated and stiff when they saw this scene.
Unable to move in place.
Gold. Lots of gold.
Jinshan.
It was the only word Tom could use to describe what he saw.
They were in a room the size of an auditorium. Behind the eight-shaped door was a narrow path. The end of the path was hidden in darkness. On the side of the road were two piles of gold mountains over ten meters high.
Jinshan is composed of various gemstones, large gold plates, exquisite gold and silver vessels, and animal sculptures.
"Oh God -" Dr. Hunter couldn't stand, because he was so excited that his face was distorted: just a few of the things here would be enough for him to study for a lifetime! Just the things in this room alone
Hiding treasures will allow him to build a museum that is not inferior to the British Museum.
By then, he will be the most famous archaeologist in the world and the first person in the history of ancient Egypt!
Money is used for free medical care, compulsory education, widening the Suez Canal, and building more water conservancy projects...
Egyptians can also live the life of the oil guys in the Sinai Peninsula!
Tom and Hermione were also shocked: they had never seen this scene before.
"We can use these treasures to build a library. You will be the director and I will be the librarian..." Hermione grabbed Tom's arm and shook it gently, "When we graduate..."
Tom was dizzy.
Gold immediately aroused the most primitive desires in the hearts of the five people.
Dr. Hunter beside them murmured to himself, as if in a dream: "The treasure troves of many heroes in Upper and Lower Egypt, the wealth on both sides of the Nile and even the entire Mediterranean coast should be here..."
If you just pack a backpack with the things in this room and go out, you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life.
Thinking of this, several people suddenly calmed down: first of all, they are still trapped in this pyramid, and secondly, even if they can pack it, how much can they pack? One backpack per person is the limit...
Wait, backpack?
In an instant, four pairs of eyes and eight gazes were all focused on the backpack behind Tom. Muggle bags have a small capacity, but wizard ones are different!
They can transport several tons of gold in one trip!
"Calm down! Calm down!" Tom waved his hand, indicating that everyone should calm down first. The gold is here, and it won't run away. Everyone should calm down first.
Tom looked around at the surrounding arrangements, and sure enough he saw a huge bunch of red coral on the edge of the path. Many exquisitely shaped small lights were hung on the branches of the coral. Each light was in the shape of a kitten, and the cat's tail was
Wick. Tom patiently lit the cat lanterns one by one.
He counted and found that there were forty-nine cat lanterns in different postures hung on this bunch of corals as tall as one person. This lantern alone could serve as the centerpiece of any national museum in the world.
And there is more than one such lamp.
Dr. Hunter and the others also found similar types of lights in other locations in the corridor. When they turned on all the lights one by one, the whole room became brightly lit. They also clearly saw the overall situation of the room.
There are nine huge pillars on each side of the house. Next to the giant pillars is the Jinshan Mountain they just saw. In the middle of the house is a small pool, which seems to have live fish.
After being able to see the entire Jinshan Mountain, Dr. Hunter quickly estimated the amount of gold here and found that conservatively, there were nearly 10,000 tons of gold hidden in this room!
The entire United States has only 8,000 tons of gold reserves.
In other words, the person who obtains the treasure in this room will truly be as rich as any country! Even if they are divided equally among five people, their personal gold possessions will rank among the top five in the world's gold reserves.
This is not even counting the cultural value of the gold and the value of the gems! Gems the size of pigeon eggs can be seen everywhere.
Someone once concluded that human beings have three major desires, the desire to eat, the desire to sleep, and the desire to survive, but Tom thought he should be invited to come to this house to have a look. Tom felt that human beings' love for gold is already the most deep-rooted desire in humans.
They have written this hobby into their genes and it has become an instinct.
