Chapter 1232: Ancient civilization

The composition of the two children was quickly written. After finishing writing, the two children were brought in front of Zhao Zhongyao again and asked Dad to rate their composition.
Zhao Zhongyao read the essays of the two children once and felt that they were all very good. I wrote all the things I saw and heard that day, and the writing was still very profound, saying that I wanted to learn from the iron tower. Learn from its upright temperament and the perseverance of the iron tower.
Both children's literary skills are very good. After Zhao Zhongyao saw it, he felt that both children were very talented. Faced with two very good essays, Zhao Zhongyao didn't know how to score the two essays. Whether it is Feifei or Tiantian, they are all their own children. If you beat this one less and that one too much, it will make the two children feel that you have not evened a bowl of water.
For a while, Zhao Zhongyao didn't know what to do. He had to look at the two children and said, "You two write very well, I will give you 100 points."
He originally thought that both children would be very happy with his fair score. I will definitely say that my dad scored well. They will also be very happy.
But when Zhao Zhongyao said so. Both children shook their mouths.
Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Dad, how can you be like this? Are you fooling us! Our composition never got a perfect score in any of the school exams. How can you write casually at home? Give us full marks! I think you are not responsible at all, you just made us happy casually. No one's composition can get 100 points."
Tiantian looked at Zhao Zhongyao at this time and said, "Dad, you didn't take our composition seriously. If you do this, you don't care about our study at all."
The two children became more and more serious as they talked about it, and suddenly they made Zhao Zhongyao a big red face. He looked at the two talkative children and didn't know how to refute for a while.
Originally, Zhao Zhongyao was just having two children happy! However, he did not expect that the two children are already older children, and wanting to make them happy is not that simple.
Zhao Zhongyao didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to call his wife over.
"Yuqian, tell me, Feifei and Tiantian, who of them writes better essays. I think they both wrote well and gave them 100 points, but the two children were unwilling. Saying that I don't care about their studies, I am fooling them!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Qu Yuqian helplessly and said.
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Qu Yuqian took a look at the composition of the two children for a while. After that, I picked up a ballpoint pen and wrote two more scores on the two texts.
Feifei's score is 97 points. Tiantian's score is ninety-eight points. The scores of the two are different this time. And Tiantian's score is one point more than Feifei's score.
When the two children saw this result, the expressions on their faces were different. Every day, I see that my score is one point higher than my brother. A smile appeared on her face immediately. Although she only scored one point more than her brother, it also shows that she won his brother in this competition.
Although Feifei's score is one point less than that of his younger sister, it also shows that his score is lower than that of his younger sister, and he lost to his younger sister.
"Mom, why are you doing this, just because you are a woman, are you going to your sister!"
When Feifei saw the result, he was unhappy. He immediately fired on his mother, and said badly.
Qu Yuqian glared at him after hearing what her son said, "Feifei, what are you yelling at! Listen to me."
"Let's talk! Why are you giving me one point less and one point more to my sister? Dad gave us both full marks." Feifei looked at his mother, just as unconvinced.
At this moment, Qu Yuqian looked at her son and smiled: "Yes, this essay written by the two of you is about the same level, and it is considered a masterpiece. It's just that your sister's handwriting is more neat and beautiful than yours. . And your handwriting is not very good-looking, a bit sloppy. So, I deducted one point for the roll, is that wrong!"
When Feifei heard his mother say this, he didn't know how to refute it. After all, his handwriting is not as good as his sister. Tiantian's handwriting is very delicate and beautiful. Feifei's handwriting is a bit scribbled, and some of the handwriting, if you don't recognize it carefully, there are still some invisible.
"Okay, then I will give up. However, if we are to write a composition next time, I will definitely write the handwriting neatly." Feifei looked at his mother and said.
"Okay, when we go to another place tomorrow, you two will continue the writing competition tomorrow night! At that time, I will be a judge for you again." Qu Yuqian said while looking at the two children.
"Yeah! Good." The two children also smiled and said in unison.
Just where are we going to play tomorrow! I went to the Eiffel Tower in country F today, and I should travel to that country tomorrow.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the two children again and said: "You two want to travel to that country tomorrow, and now let you two be the masters. Anyway, if you two want to write essays, then we will take care of your studies."
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Feifei thought for a while and said: "If we take care of our study, then we should travel to Egypt. Egypt is an ancient civilization. Traveling to Egypt can gain a lot of historical knowledge."
Hearing what my brother said every day, he also echoed: "My brother is right. Tomorrow our family will travel to Egypt. We are going to see the world-famous ancient Egyptian pyramids."
Qu Yuqian listened to the words of the two children and looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Zhongyao, then we will go to Egypt to see the pyramids tomorrow! I want to see too!"
"Pyramid!---" As soon as Zhao Zhongyao heard these three words, he felt something in his heart. The pyramid on the moon has always been a mystery in his heart!
After hearing what his wife and children said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, "Okay, if you say go, go! I want to see the pyramid too! I haven't seen the pyramid either!"
"Go to see the pyramids!"
"Go to see the pyramids!"
When the two children saw that their parents agreed to the tourist destination they said, it was also a happy dance. After all, they couldn't think of it. If they said it casually, they agreed, as if it was not at all. What a big thing. You know, Egypt is far away from country F. It should take some time to go there. But their parents readily agreed.
It was just that after Zhao Zhongyao listened to the two children, he looked at them and said: "You want to go to Egypt to see the pyramids. Then you must first understand some knowledge about Egypt and some knowledge about the pyramids."
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the two children nodded together. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao with interest and said, "Dad, do you know this knowledge well, can you tell us about it."
Hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said every day, he also looked at him and said, "Dad, first tell me some knowledge about ancient Egypt and the pyramids! Let's learn some history in this area first."
After hearing the words of the two children, Zhao Zhongyao looked at them and said, "Okay, then I will first popularize some knowledge about ancient Egypt for you!"
After that, Zhao Zhongyao thought about it for a while and started to teach the two children.
"Ancient Egypt is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. It is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile in northeastern Africa. The ancient Egyptian civilization was formed about 6000 years ago. The former dynasty of ancient Egypt began about 5100 years ago when Menis unified the upper and lower Egypt and established the first The dynasty ended when Rome conquered the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt in 30 BC.
Ancient Egyptian civilization was formed in 3150 years ago. Since King Narmai unified Upper and Lower Egypt, it has experienced 7 periods of Early Dynasty, Ancient Kingdom, First Intermediate Period, Middle Kingdom, Second Intermediate Period, New Kingdom, and Late Egypt Period Rule of 31 dynasties.
Among them, ancient Egypt reached its heyday in the Eighteenth Dynasty. Upper Egypt in the southern Nile Valley was from Sudan to Ethiopia, and Lower Egypt in the northern delta, except for Egypt and part of Libya, its eastern border crossed the Sinai Peninsula. Canaan Plain.
Ancient Egypt has its own hieroglyphic system, complete political system and polytheistic religious system. Its ruler is called Pharaoh, so it is also called Pharaoh Era or Pharaoh Egypt. The land of ancient Egypt is densely distributed in the narrow strip around the Nile. The ancient Egyptians achieved great success in agricultural production by managing and controlling the annual flooding of the Nile.
During the ancient Egyptian civilization for more than 3,000 years, they built huge pyramids, temples, and obelisks, creating the most advanced medical system in the world at that time. The ancient Egyptian civilization had a huge impact on later civilizations such as ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and Jews. The study of ancient Egypt has formed a specialized discipline in the academic circle called "Egyptology".
The pyramid is the tomb of the ancient Egyptian king. The Chinese call it "pyramid" because of its shape resembling the Chinese character "gold". The construction of the pyramid began with Josell, the first king of the 3rd Dynasty. At that time, he asked the famous architect Imenhotep to design a tomb for him. Imenhotep originally designed and built a huge stone mastaba in Saqqara.
But Josell and Imenhotep were not satisfied with them, and felt that they were not majestic enough. So Imenhotep added five more mastabas with a layer smaller than one layer on top of it. This became the hierarchical pyramid of Josell that is still visible. It is 61.2 meters high and has a bottom side. It is 123.3 meters long and 107.4 meters long from north to south.
There are corridors and burial chambers under the pyramids, sacrificial temples are built beside the pyramids, and the entire building complex is surrounded by walls. When Snefru, the first king of the 4th Dynasty, built three pyramids. His first pyramid was at McDormand, originally a hierarchical pyramid.
Later, the steps were filled in to form a pyramid of pyramids; later, he ordered someone to build a pyramid of true pyramids for him in Dashuer. However, due to design errors, he found it halfway through the construction. The angle is too large, and the angle has to be changed, which becomes a diamond-shaped pyramid, or curved pyramid.
Of course, Snefru was not satisfied with this, so he ordered someone to build another true pyramid pyramid in Dashuer. It can be said that the Snefru period was a period of transition from a hierarchical pyramid to a true pyramidal pyramid.
The largest pyramid was built by King Khufu of the 4th dynasty. Its architect was Khufu's brother Heimian, whose address was chosen at Kize on the west bank of the Nile near Memphis. The pyramid is 146.5 meters high, and each side is approximately 230 meters long.
It is said that the pyramid used about 2.3 million stones of varying sizes, each weighing about 2.5 tons on average. The tomb was originally built at the bottom of the tower, and later built in the middle of the tower.
The entrance of this pyramid is 13 meters from the ground on the north side of the tower, which is triangular in shape, so that the weight of the tower body is evenly distributed, and the passage opening will not be crushed. According to Herodotus, the construction of Khufu’s pyramid took 30 years. The first 10 years consisted of building roads for transporting stones and building crypts, and the following 20 years were used to build the pyramid itself, with 100,000 workers every year.
Next to the Pyramid of Khufu, there are the pyramids of the two kings of the dynasty, Harvard and Menkala. Not far from the Pyramid of Harvard, there is a sphinx of the king, 21 meters high, 57 meters long, and 2 meters long ears.
It is carved from a whole piece of stone, and its face is said to be carved according to the image of Harvard. The ancient Egyptians believed that the lion was the guardian of the gateway to heaven, and the sphinx beside the pyramid was also a typical symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Around these pyramids, there are still many noble Mastabas, which symbolically reflects the supremacy of the monarchy and its subjects. "
Zhao Zhongyao told the two children about the historical knowledge of ancient Egypt. After the two children listened to it, they had learned some common knowledge about ancient Egypt. Thinking of the mysterious pyramids built by the ancient Egyptians, the two children were full of yearning for this world-famous tourist attraction. They wanted to take a flying saucer car and fly to the Egyptian pyramids scenic spot, and wanted to go to the scene to learn some ancient times. Some magical aspects of the pyramid.
"Flying to the sky, do you both remember the history of the ancient Egyptian pyramids that I told you! Tomorrow, we will go to the pyramids to play, then, I will ask you some questions, hope you can remember me Now I will tell you these historical knowledge." Zhao Zhongyao said while looking at the two children.
"Dad, don’t worry, we will remember the knowledge you told us. Tomorrow we will go to the pyramid to play, we must be able to learn more about the knowledge of the pyramid. At that time, we will not only know what you said. Knowledge, we also need to understand some knowledge you don't know." Feifei said while looking at his father.
