Eight hundred and twentieth chapters headbutt king's malaise
Under Alpha's hooves are piles of clay pot fragments, densely packed.
Looking up, the pieces are inserted between the cracks in the rocks. From a distance, it looks like a mountain of clay pots.
The pottery pots at the foot of the mountain are often trampled by wild camels, and no fragment larger than a palm can be found. Only by going higher up can you see larger ones, but none are complete.
"In 1917, explorers accidentally discovered about 300 clay pots on a hill 250 kilometers southwest of Dakhla, most of which had been broken or had holes drilled into them."
"This confirms the legendary water storage warehouses discovered by the Dakhla people when they were chasing the black thieves. It is obvious that the pursuers broke these jars to cut off the hope of the black thieves coming back. Without water, it is difficult to move in the desert."
The so-called black thieves are Tubu people who travel across the desert to plunder.
Because of their dark skin due to exposure, they were called black thieves. They occasionally rushed into the oases of Egypt from the west, and disappeared into the desert after plundering at lightning speed.
Among the most hated black thieves are the Dakhla people.
Dakhla Oasis is located in the New Valley Province of Egypt. It is one of the seven oases in the Western Desert of Egypt. It is about 80 kilometers long from east to west and 20 kilometers wide from north to south. It is one of the most charming oases in Egypt.
Black thieves "favor".
Therefore, the two sides have long-standing grievances, and there have been protracted fighting and struggles.
The black thieves who come and go without a trace have established supply points in many hidden places, and Dakhla is out to destroy these supply points.
"In 1924, Prince Kemal al-Din visited this place and named it Abu Baras, which means the father of clay pots. This name has been used to this day."
Bi Fang turned over, stepped on the gravel, squatted down and looked carefully at the fragments of the pottery pot.
These pottery pots are quite simple, with no patterns on them at all, only a few brown patterns with some color and like children's sketches.
Judging from these patterns alone, it is difficult to say that it has much value without conscience.
It doesn't look good, the material is average, and it has no special meaning.
Coupled with this mountainous amount, the audience also has a deeper understanding of the "worthless" in Bi Fang's words. No wonder there is such a pile.
The Dachi Oasis is located deep in the desert, but it is not a deserted place. There are still a few tourists and some indigenous people who come here every year.
It is a huge number accumulated over hundreds of years, but it is evident that the Clay Pot Mountain has not disappeared.
But even though it was not worth the money, the audience was very moved.
One advantage of watching Bifang's live broadcast is that there is a certain probability of winning prizes.
The prize may be the spears, daggers, tools used by Fang Shen in the wilderness, or the teeth, bones, and skins of the captured prey.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
Among them, daggers and animal teeth are the most popular. They are handsome, mighty and have great commemorative significance. Every time someone wins, it always arouses widespread envy, jealousy and hatred.
For a while, Bi Fang heard from his assistant that he had seen someone selling his related prizes on the Internet. An animal tooth could be sold for thousands, and a flint dagger could easily be sold for tens of thousands.
It's unclear whether this prize is real or fake. Animal teeth are too easy to be counterfeited.
Even if it is a real tooth, whether Bi Fang got it from hunting is another matter. He has no habit of putting certificates on himself. It is just an entertainment activity for everyone.
Unfortunately, the probability of winning is very small, because the denominator is really too big. With millions of viewers drawing together, the probability is lower than winning the sports lottery. But fortunately, there is no shady story, one is one.
[Can Fang Shen bring some fragments, and they will be given to us in a lottery]
[Yes, yes, make a piece for collection]
[Speak as if you can win]
[The probability is one in 10,000, maybe it’s just bad luck]
[People always have to maintain some illusions and don’t let their lives be lifeless]
Seeing that everyone was begging for help, Bi Fang didn't mind bringing more things. He picked some small fragments with pictures from the pottery pot mountain and put them in his bag, ready to go back and give them to his fans.
Powerful fan.
Seeing this scene, the audience was overjoyed and cheered in the live broadcast room.
【Long live Fang Shen!】
[Is this a pet fan? If you love me, you still have to be Fang Shen]
[Flying Henanese gave the anchor a big bone*66 - it has to be my brother Fang]
[Brother Daren gave a spaceship*1 to the anchor - I love it]
[It’s hard to sharpen my knife, but now I won’t hide it from you. In fact, I am a European]
【Everything looks like Africa to me】
The fragments selected by Bi Fang are all small in size and have patterns on them, so as to ensure that the number is as large as possible without being particularly heavy, and that the fragments are evenly exposed to rain and dew.
Although Alpha is ultimately responsible, Alpha is not a perpetual motion machine, and its endurance needs to be considered.
Ostrich meat, water, various trophies, plus himself as an adult male, Alpha's burden is not small.
An adult male camel can weigh 200 kilograms, but if you are walking for a long time, it is best to keep the weight under 150 kilograms.
Bi Fang took most of it by himself, and the water required ten kilograms, and there were dozens of ostrich meat, so the remaining quota was not too much.
Bifang asked him to rest and replenish his supplies more and more frequently, and the route was as far as possible in the direction of the oasis in his memory.
After picking out the fragments, Bi Fang climbed up along the exposed rocks on the Clay Pot Mountain, and saw many patterns on the wall halfway up the mountain.
These patterns and murals are different. The ones Bifang saw before were painted on the walls, but the ones here are traces carved out of stone.
“When Prince Kemal al-Din returned to this place in 1926, he discovered rock paintings left by ancient humans on the mountainside of Clay Pot Mountain, including suckling cattle, hunting antelopes, and costumed figures. These are what we see now.
.”
"This shows that the area was a land of water and grass suitable for grazing and hunting in ancient times."
Bi Fang's fingertips gently slid across the mural, feeling the unevenness of the rock layers, as if he could feel the brushstrokes of the engraver at that time after thousands of years.
What a grand scene it was.
On the grassland, there are herds of cattle and horses, and the birds are singing and dancing. As far as the eye can see, there is no blazing sun, only beautiful scenery.
"Based on map analysis, the explorers at that time concluded that the journey from Abu Baras, which is the Clay Pot Mountain to the Hera Oasis, should be the last third of the black pirates' journey, and further down should be the legendary Zazura Oasis.
.”
"And there should be hidden water supply points on this reverse extension line, otherwise it would not be able to support a large force rushing back and forth like the wind."
"Subsequent exploration found abandoned wells with intermittent water at approximately equal distances, and continued forward to discover dry rivers, which confirmed the correctness of this idea."
"It's just that there are still some locations that we haven't found yet. They may have been buried by gravel. This is not surprising in the Sahara. Maybe a sandstorm may bury some small ruins underground forever."
"And the pictorial markings found on these pots seem to suggest that the black thieves came from Dutch."
"But the modern testing of broken pottery sherds in recent years is really shocking. Some pottery sherds were fired as early as 1500 BC. The original speculation has been completely overturned."
"This seems to be the remnant and proof of the extensive trade network across the desert in the Pharaonic era. Maybe the black pirates just discovered and utilized the survival of the trade routes back then and expanded them, which confused us."
"These signs all prove that Dutch has left a profound mark in history. Whether it is the ancient merchant land or the supply point of black pirates, it cannot be avoided, which shows its importance."
[I don’t quite understand it, but it sounds like it’s awesome]
[Fang Shen knows so much about history, and there are also stories about various adventurers]
[I’ve never heard of it, is this the legendary top student?]
No one had any other thoughts except admiration for the little story Bi Fang picked up at random.
Profound knowledge, whether it is for men or women, always adds a different kind of personality charm.
[I have a hard time memorizing a year in a history book, let alone stories.]
[Is this the world of the strong?]
[The sympathy between explorers, hahaha]
Bi Fangli stood on the rock and admired it for a while. He felt that he was so hot from the sun that he couldn't even stand it. After browsing for a while, he was satisfied and wanted to return along the original path. When he looked down, he was immediately happy.
.
Alpha, who had been staying in place, disappeared.
It's not like he ran away.
After two months of getting along, although the initial acquaintance was not very good, the relationship has been almost developed now. Alpha is no different from a normal camel, and he will not run around without a leash temporarily.
The disappearance at this time was because Alpha went to the other side of the river at some point and pursued a female mate.
It seems that the drone also noticed this scene and found it particularly interesting. It gave an exclusive long shot, which made many viewers laugh out loud.
A female camel kneels on the ground, in a sitting and lying position, while Alpha will sit in a large sitting position, clamping its two forelimbs on both sides of the female camel's chest, starting the great harmony of life.
Under the rhythmic beats, the decorations on Alpha jingled, which was very interesting.
Perhaps it is precisely because of so many fancy decorations that Alpha can hook up with his spouse so quickly.
Animals don't rely entirely on hormones. Great harmony still requires seeing the right eye.
Bi Fang smiled and sighed helplessly: "We can only wait until it is over. The male camel is still quite irritable at this stage. When it is over, it will come back on its own."
[Didn’t it say that the estrus period is from January to April? 】
[I didn’t listen carefully at first glance. Fang Shen also said that because it’s a tropical area, there is a chance that it will happen outside of estrus.]
[Alpha is tall, so he is considered handsome among animals, right? 】
[No, I’m going to die laughing. What should Fang Shen do now? 】
[How long will it take to wait?]
[I remember a snake takes twelve hours at a time]
[Xu Xian is so scary]
"It only takes a short time for most mammals to do this kind of thing. Humans are already the best. Most animals can't compare. This time it only takes a few minutes."
I don’t know if Alpha is an experienced player and picked up the game very quickly. Less than half an hour after Bifang got up and down, the matter was almost over.
Alpha snorted, stood up and shook his hair, seeming a little sluggish.
All in all, from the beginning of the hookup to the end, it probably took less than a quarter of an hour. It proved that Bi Fang's words were true. It was really a shame for the camel. Fortunately, the camel didn't pay attention to these things.
The audience in the barrage laughed even louder.
[It’s over, the headbutt king will also have a sluggish day]
【Can I still ride this】
[It’s so chewy, this is a rhythm that makes me laugh to death, hahahaha]
The audience laughed mercilessly, and some noticed something different.
[Speaking of why there seems to be only dromedary camels here]
[Yeah, I didn’t even see a Bactrian camel]
"Because there are no Bactrian camels in the Sahara."
Due to the obstruction of the Nile crocodile in the Blackwater River, it is inconvenient to pass there.
Bi Fang whistled, and Alpha, who was still thinking about it, twitched his ears, and finally waded through the water slowly.
"From a geographical distribution point of view, Bactrian camels are only found in Asia. The reason for this is mainly due to environmental reasons."
"Dromedary camels are mainly distributed in tropical areas, especially tropical desert climate areas, such as the Arabian Peninsula in West Asia and the Sahara Desert in North Africa."
"Bactrian camels are mainly distributed in temperate continental climate areas, especially temperate desert climate areas, such as northwest my country, Central Asia, etc."
"Although bimodal and dromedary seem similar, they just have different numbers of humps. In fact, there are differences. Dromedary camels are taller and can walk and run in the desert. They can transport goods and carry people."
"Bactrian camels have short and thick limbs, which are better suited for walking on gravel and snow."
"Due to the lack of fossils from several transitional periods in the evolutionary history of camels, the evolutionary tree about them is incomplete."
"Judging from the fossils that have been discovered, the first animals that appeared 35 million years ago were called protozoans. These protozoans were about 1 meter long and did not have a raised back. Later, the protozoans evolved into ancient camels. The pseudocamel appeared 3 million years ago.
They have a bulge on their back."
"Research has found that these ancient camels first lived in North America, and later migrated to Asia or the Middle East and Africa. Because the grassland areas were already occupied by herbivores at that time, the camels moved to the marginal deserts where competition was poor."
"Both the Bactrian camel and the dromedary camel are descendants of the original camel from the same ancestor. However, in order to adapt to the environment, some more subtle adjustments were made to make the former adapt to cold deserts and the latter to adapt to hot deserts."
[Rubbing, there is actually a difference]
[Unexpectedly, I thought that Bactrian camels and dromedary camels were similar, but the results turned out to be different?]
[It’s another day of learning a lot, I’ll go out and brag about it later]
Alpha waded in, and the Nile crocodile in the river floated on the water, looking at this giant creature unmoved.
This is simply not something they can afford to offend.
When Alpha came back to Bi Fang, his lethargy was almost visible to the naked eye, and his eyebrows were drooped, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.
Bi Fang patted its head and tried to cheer it up, but it was of no use.
Seeing its miserable appearance, Bi Fang was too embarrassed to ride on it anymore, so he could only hold the reins and walk towards the outside of the canyon.
