Chapter 1196: Ruins and Gods
These flashes of light on the jade indicate that the original magic in the hall is still at work.
But it doesn't get triggered, it doesn't look like a defensive spell, and it may never trigger again!
It wasn't until hundreds or thousands of years later that the magic completely dissipated and jade became an ordinary ornament.
"This hall is truly incredible. Evan sighed, and he looked down for a moment to study the pattern of the jade on the ground, his eyes following the glow that flashed from time to time, but he was soon lost in the magic rune in charge of the mystery, and he had no clue at all.
Two years ago, he had seen a similar spell at the top of the Centaur Temple in the Forbidden Forest.
It was left behind by Gryffindor, which could absorb the power of the stars and gather them into the Philosopher's Stone.
Evan was still amazed at the power of Gryffindor, at the scale of the magic.
But now it seems that compared to the magic made of these jade stones in front of him, the scale of that magic array is too small!
Magic on this scale is nothing short of a miracle for wizards today.
Judging from the expressions on the faces of the wizards in the hall who had been here for the first time like themselves, and who were measuring and recording the magic runes on the ground, they seemed to be in disbelief that this was a magical ......
Evan took a deep breath and stopped looking at the jade on the ground.
He asked Ravière, who was beside him, "Did Gringotts find anything here?"
"It's not too much, at least not the treasure the elves were hoping for. The Dome of God is the first hall after the entrance to the Sun Ruins, and in general, there won't be anything too valuable. "The twelve excavation teams in charge of this place have inspected everything and found no anomalous magic or hidden secret passages, and their mission now is to break the curse on the door that leads to the inside of the ruins." ”
The elves were never archaeologists, and their focus was on the treasures in the ruins.
Of course, most of the ancient artifacts are valuable, and when Gringotts' excavation teams come across them, they will dig them up and sell them to the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, the Muggle government, or any other organization or individual interested in them.
Like the statues of the gods in the Temple of the Gods and the magic on the ground, they don't have much value in their eyes!
It's worthless, and it can't be carried away, so naturally the wizards of the Ministry of Magic will take over......
However, as Lavier said, by visiting here, Aven has a deeper understanding of the entire solar ruins and the ancient Egyptian system of gods.
"There is no treasure here, but it is of great value for research, and scholars, ancient magicians, historians of magic, and Muggle archaeologists will be interested in this place. "You know, there are 221 statues of gods in the entire Temple of the Gods, and all the statues of all the gods are found here, except for the important ones I told you about before, and this is the first time in history that they have been discovered......
"Hmm!" Evan looked up at the tall statues and the wizards who were in charge of the trimmings on them.
The temples and temples built by Ramses II have always been famous for their grandeur and grandeur.
But these stone statues in front of him were completely beyond Aven's imagination, they were so big that his height could only reach the instep of the statue.
Correspondingly, in front of these stone statues, Ai Wen also clearly felt the fragility and insignificance of human beings.
The walls behind the statue are beautifully painted with frescoes, including stories of the gods, religious ceremonies, memorial scenes and inscriptions depicting the battles of the pharaoh's army, and images of Ramses II using magic.
The dome is inlaid with jade, like the ground, forming intricate magical runes.
In the middle of the front of the hall are statues of ancient Egyptian gods, and in the deepest part of the interior is a raised stone platform.
The wide staircase rises step by step, and the stone pillars stand around the stone platform, and the group of warriors in armor stand neatly and symmetrically beside the stone pillars.
In the middle of the stone platform is the statue of Ramses II sitting and lying that Ewen saw at a glance.
Now closer, the statue can be seen more clearly.
It is carved from obsidian, which is extremely realistic to restore the appearance and form of Ramses II.
Several of the accessories on the statue's body, Evan speculated to be powerful magical equipment.
There is also the hieroglyphs on the clothes, which should be the oldest ancient magic script at present, and there are many words in it, which Evan has seen in the Book of Abraham, and it is the part that he has not been able to decipher at the moment.
Is there a connection between the same text?
What do these messages from Ramses II represent?
Could it be a powerful magic spell?
There are many questions, but I'm afraid no one can give answers.
Deciphering the ancient inscriptions of the ancient Egyptian period has been the most difficult part of the entire excavation work.
The once powerful civilization is gone, and people today have no way of knowing what they represent by leaving these words, especially the ancient magic script, which is far more difficult than ordinary hieroglyphs.
The same can be said for those magic books.
Ai Wen didn't understand why so many people wanted to find the Golden Sutra of the Sun and the Black Sutra of the Undead, these two magic books are legendary magic items, which may help the caster gain immortality or summon the dead, but even if they find the ancient magic scripts that they don't recognize, it is useless......
Just like the Book of Abraham, as a well-known magic book of the same period, Evan still doesn't know what to say about it, how to use the magic in it, and can only use the passive effect of this book to restrain the evil gods.
Standing on the stone platform and looking back, the entire hall was in full view.
An ancient and mysterious aura permeated the Temple of the Gods, almost breathless.
"Based on artifacts and frescoes found so far, historians of magic and the goblins of Gringotts speculate that the Dome of the Gods was a banquet hall where Ramses II entertained the sacrifices of the gods and monks. Lavier said.
Undoubtedly, if it was only used for the reception of priests and monks, and for religious celebrations, the space of the God's Dome was too large.
In his previous conversations with the Time Titan Kronos, Evan learned a lot of hidden history.
Ramses II lived in a time when the gods were active.
At that time, the powerful ancient warlocks had not yet begun to slaughter gods.
Perhaps, Ramses II was here to entertain those gods, the real ones.
Standing on the platform, in a trance, Aven felt like he could see the gods gathered here.
Behind the stone platform where Ramses II was, there were more than two dozen wizards under the command of five goblins to break the curse that led to the stone door inside the ruins, using the same method that Aven had seen in the Great Pyramid before, and the wizards would use a spell to dissipate the power of various curses on the stone door little by little.
It's a stupid method, but it's the safest way to crack it if you're not sure what curses are on the door. [.]
