Chapter 839 835: Exhuming the Coffin for an Autopsy

The shadows interlaced in the dim corridor, and one after another silhouette fell, each body colliding with the solid mud brick, emitting a dull thud akin to a slab of pork hitting the ground.

The plastic flashlight was covered in sweat, rolling to the wall and gathering dust.

"Hiss!"

All three men hit the ground, and it was only then that Bi Fang felt the pain shooting through his knuckles.

Bi Fang shook his hand and squatted down to

"But for professionals, especially those in the Egyptian archaeological community, it's a well-known story."

Carter held an extraordinary significance and status in the field of Egyptian archaeology, comparable to Newton and Einstein in the history of physics.

[Okay.]

[If you don't have a bit of culture now, you can't even keep up with the conversation.]

[Oh Pharaoh, give me a brain as effective as Master Fang's!]

[If I were this knowledgeable in ancient and modern times, would I still be single?]

"The murals are very complete."

"There are no signs of damage."

"The humidity is high, some areas are indistinct, but most are well-preserved; it must have been the vapor leakage caused by subsidence later, otherwise all would have blurred long ago."

"We are very fortunate to have discovered it now."

The scholars, full of wonder, tirelessly admired the tomb's furnishings but restrained themselves from rashly touching anything; the others also donned gloves and began their work.

Archaeological excavation and survey differ, yet both are means of obtaining physical data based on archaeological surveys.

This is a complex and meticulous task that proceeds according to a defined procedure.

Typically, there would be: layout—removing topsoil—cleaning cultural layers layer by layer according to their stratigraphic relationships—unifying strata—cleaning reserved sections—completing various records.

Then the indoor organization occurs, transferring the collected physical data and records from the field back to the workstation or the digging team's camp, systematically arranging and analyzing the unearthed artifacts' dates and other research work, writing excavation reports, and finally, transferring the physical data to the collecting institutions.

The excavated sites would also be managed according to the actual conditions, some being backfilled, others preserved in situ.

Watching everyone busily engaged, the ambassador and Bi Fang also couldn't lend a hand and chatted sporadically.

Moments later, several older scholars seemed to realize something, stopped their work, and approached Bi Fang.

"We're terribly sorry; we just can't help researching when we see these materials. Let's go down to the tomb below and open the coffin."

On hearing this, Bi Fang's mind stirred.

It suited his purposes.

He himself was not much interested in these tedious explorations. What he most wanted to see was the opening of the coffin to find out what the Pharaoh actually looked like.

Following the route in his memory, Bi Fang led the group forward until they reached another hole, descending by rope.

Everyone landed one by one, switching on their flashlights.

Bi Fang had just entered when he encountered the tomb robbers, and the torchlight was insufficient for a detailed observation of the place.

Now seeing its true face, they were all startled despite being mentally prepared.

In this not-so-large room, every surface was covered with murals, densely packed with thousands of pieces of furniture, utensils, statues, weapons, royal scepters, and other exquisite, finely crafted grave goods, all adorned with gold, silver, pearls, and jade - luxurious and intact.

Each person's heart pounded fiercely.

This was another untouched complete tomb!

And undoubtedly, the most captivating was a square pit in the very center of the room, where the anthropoid coffin almost like a black hole drew the eyes of everyone who looked its way.
