The first one let go
Inside the church is a beautiful mural, exquisite stained glass, and screens embedded with animal bones and ivory carved, with unique ingenuity everywhere. The marble pulpit supported by 13 stone pillars symbolizes the 13 disciples of Jesus.
One of these was made of black basalt, representing Judas who betrayed Jesus. The poor Judas was just arranged by God to betray Jesus. Otherwise, how could he become a storm that touched the world that year?
There are many churches facing the street, but there are few churches in the lower alleys eastwards. The deeper they go, the older they get. The Nunnery of Saint Gee, the more open it is, and I heard that being masochist can come here to receive the blessings of the mother.
The church of Saint Sergius was built in a basement. At that time, after the Virgin Mary gave birth to the baby Jesus in the manger behind the Bethlehem Hotel in Bethlehem, in order to avoid the pursuit of King Herod, she rode a donkey with her child in her arms, accompanied by her husband Joseph Joseph.
After passing through the desert of the Sinai Peninsula, Maria, her husband Joseph and her son Jesus and her family of three hid in this basement that year. After Jesus grew up, he returned to his hometown and founded the world's largest gang Christianity. Now the basement has been flooded and cannot be visited.
Going further in is the saintbarbarachurch of the Church of Santa Barbara. In order to commemorate a devilish girl who was beaten to death by her father and wanted to believe in Christianity, this matter has been taught again by Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. Ideologicalism has killed people.
At the end of the alley is the benezrasynagogue of Ben Ezrasy, where Moses was picked up by Pharaoh's daughter. The church has been seen a lot, but this alley that is rarely visited by tourists is quiet and twisty, with goods such as calligraphy, painting, and photos on both sides. It has a unique flavor when wandering here.
Not far north on the road back to Majigerges is the Amru Ibn As Mosque Squeofam Bnal-as, the first mosque in Africa. It was built in 642 by Amru Ibn As, one of the four Arab talents who conquered Egypt. After changes and expansion, it has become different from the past, and the huge courtyard is empty.
Sitting on a heavy carpet and flipping through the idle Quran beside it is a very good place to rest.
On the way, I saw someone carrying a plastic bucket while walking. I also asked for a bowl to try it. A drink called "Wuzou" was a pound per cup. After asking for a long time, I didn't explain what it was made. It tasted pretty good. It felt like a yummy yogurt.
Seeing that it was still early, I decided to go to Victory Square again. Follow Line 1 north to Kob Rielkobba Station, get off, and then call to the junction of Alnasr Road and Drabdalazizal Nawi Road. It is Victory Square, which has a bit of the smell of Chang'an Street. The square is located in O Rial Alstatue.
A huge abstract pyramid, which was originally a monument to the unknown heroes, commemorating the soldiers who died in the October War in 1973 that broke through the Israeli Balev defense line. Opposite the square is a military parade, where former Egyptian President Mohammed Anwar Sadat will parade every year.
Unfortunately, he was assassinated on the viewing platform by several soldiers at the military parade in 1981. Now Sadat is also buried here. There are guards wearing modern uniforms standing guard at four corners of the square, and four other guards standing guard at the monument. The first two were probably wearing Ottoman uniforms wearing small red round hats. The latter two were dressed in ancient Egyptian soldiers.
Wearing a headscarf, a spear, and a leather sandal, they stood there very lonely. They were very happy that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo came here to harass and take photos. The square was surrounded by modern urban areas, commercial residential buildings and office buildings, which changed the dirty and messy appearance of the old city.
The vaccination doctor will ask you where you are going, and then recommend what injections you need to take and what medicine you need. You can get the hepatitis A vaccine shot, take epidemic prevention drugs for cholera and malaria, be careful not to participate in medical insurance. Only cash is collected.
Cooling oil, ballpoint pen--a gift that Chinese people must bring to you, can sometimes serve as consumption. (The conclusion is super practical!)
How to use: Cooling oil: The police prefer it, and there are also museum security personnel. If you still want it greedy, you will use it up. Some people are particularly greedy. Therefore, the cooling oil should be placed separately and not put together in a bunch. Pay special attention to the Longhu brand cooling oil, a small yellow can.
Ballpoint pens: taxi drivers, sailboat boatmen, shop owners... Everything is in bargaining place. After all, ballpoint pens are low in cost and are very easy to use, and there are stationery wholesale markets.
Paper towels - wet and dry. At the WC door, there are uncles and aunts who often wait for you with web paper. If you can, don’t take it if you can, unless you have no paper. You have to take it at the cost of tips. Wet tissues are of many use from wiping your face to wiping your hands along the way. You can’t expect to find a water pipe to wash your hands at any time.
Medicines - from diarrhea, cold, sore throat, fever to Bondi, there are all medicines. There are medicines, but they can’t understand the name of the medicine and communication problems. You can eat randomly, but you can’t take medicine randomly.
Throat Lotion & Chewing Gum---The climate is dry and your throat is more likely to be uncomfortable. Bored & you can’t brush your teeth or even chewing gum is your baby when you finish eating throat. It is recommended to buy mint flavor.
Currency--except for the airport where there are no cards available, there are still several atm-m-m cities. It is recommended to bring some US dollars and some euros each. The US dollars are collected for the Sharmal-Shot JKH accommodation and the Nile cruise ship, and the US dollars are also collected for the Airport Shopping.
Clothing - the best combination of sleeveless, short-sleeved, long-sleeved + windbreaker food and clothing. Wear when it is cold and take off when it is hot. Night trains or trains usually turn on the cold air conditioner.PS. You can bring one blanket on the plane. If you have any requirements for pillows, you can also bring one. There is no need to sneak in, many foreigners report the blanket down in front of the flight attendant. It is not embarrassing.
The inner liner of the sleeping bag - about rmb50. As a donkey, the place where you live is usually called a "guesthouse". There is a quilt that is not very clean, so there is no need for a sleeping bag. The inner liner of the sleeping bag is light and practical.
There is also a way to save money. Take the quilt that you want to throw in your house and throw it there before you come back, so that you can also use space to put other things in a backpack of about 50l-60l. Camera (I don't need to explain this).
If you still have something unresolved, if you are hesitating, if you feel that youth is about to pass away, then go to Egypt!
Throw a gold coin in front of the pyramid of 5,000 years and rolling under the scorching sun. It is not that a small round coin determines your life, but at that moment, the mysterious Pharaoh will awaken the true clouds deep in your heart, where to go, where to go, the fertile land of the Nile River will nourish its growth, and the beautiful and seductive Red Sea will irrigate it.
As Sanmao, who is crazy about Sahara, said: Yunluo has an unchanging belief in his heart. Yunluo is not very clear about what it is, but Yunluo will not give up the power to guide Yunluo in the dark, until one day Yunluo leaves the world and returns to the eternal place.
This stop, Egypt!
Along the way, Cairo looked like a large construction site, building houses everywhere. But basically all the houses were occupied before the caps were closed. The tour guide told Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo that because Egypt allowed private ownership of land, many people bought land and built houses themselves. Or built a house on their own land, and the money was gone.
I moved in first and built a floor after I saved up enough. But Yunluo saw it online that because there is a law in Egypt that the per capita living area exceeds a certain amount, heavy taxes must be paid, and the house was not listed before it was completed. Therefore, there are policies above and countermeasures below. People deliberately did not build buildings.
Just live on the already built floor and it's OK. But this will really scare visitors from all directions. The mysterious Egypt in my mind can only be described in three words. If you arrive in Cairo, you will definitely know which three words Yunluo is going to say.
On the first day when you arrive in Egypt, you still have to eat some local food. Generally speaking, the local Egyptian dishes are more monotonous. The meat is beef, sheep, chicken, roasted or stewed. The vegetables and salads are only tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce.
However, eggplant is often eaten, or made into side dishes or hot dishes. The main food is generally minced meat, rice with seasonings, and cakes. Yunluo's favorite ingredients to dip into cakes is very fragrant, so it must be filled with sesame paste.
The pyramids have undoubtedly become synonymous with Egypt. You may not know that there is the Nile River in Egypt, there is a temple in Egypt, and there is a Red Sea in Egypt, but no one does not know that there is a pyramid in Egypt! Because of the heavy veil of five thousand years, because it is tall and majestic, because there are too many amazing numbers puzzles.
The mysterious outer cloak of the pyramid has never fallen off. If you can really take a look at it, it will be a dream I have since childhood. It is said that time can change everything, but there is an Egyptian proverb: "Humans are afraid of time, and time is afraid of pyramids."
There are more than a hundred pyramids in Egypt. If you go, you must go to the "Gizapyra" (gizapyra fans), one of the seven wonders of the world. The Giza pyramid is not a single pyramid, but a collective name for a group. It is the tallest building in the ancient Egyptian period.
The Giza pyramid group is located north of Menphis, the capital of the ancient Egyptian Kingdom, and is now southwest of Cairo, the capital of Egypt. It only takes 30 minutes to drive. The Giza pyramid group has 10 pyramids, three of which are the largest and most well-preserved pyramids are the pyramids of Khufu, the 3 emperors of the Fourth Dynasty.
The Khafra and Menkaura pyramids were built from 2600 BC to 2500 BC, which is what Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo often call the Great Pyramids. There are many "Mastaba" (the meaning of bench in Arabic) and small pyramids around the three Great Pyramids.
The Khufu Pyramid (khufu) is the largest among the pyramid groups of Giza and the largest among all Egyptian pyramids. It is listed as the "first of the Seven Wonders of Ancient World".
It is also the only one that survived the test of thousands of years. Before the Eiffel Tower was built, it was always the tallest building in the world. In fact, when Yunluo was a child, he never knew that there were so many pyramids in Egypt, and the default was only one, so it was probably it.
The Khufu Pyramid is 146.4 meters high, equivalent to a 40-story skyscraper. Due to its weathering, the top has peeled off by 10 meters and is now 137 meters high. The bottom of the tower is square, each with a length of 230.6 meters, covering an area of 5.3 hectares. The entire pyramid is made of 2.3 million pieces of stone, and stones of varying sizes weigh 1.5 tons to 160 tons.
The total weight of the tower is about 6.84 million tons. Researchers who love pyramids calculate that if the stones of the pyramid are loaded with trains, 600,000 car washes are required; if these stones are chiseled into small pieces that are averaged one cubic foot, they can circle the earth along the equator.
If you just look far away, if you don’t stand at the edge of being able to touch it, even if you are almost unable to install your camera, you can’t feel how tall and majestic it is. Only when you get close to it can you understand why it can be so shocking! Why is it rumored that this is built by aliens! Why can it be called a miracle!
A limestone road about 1 kilometer long is paved around the Khufu Pyramid. There are still remains on the east and west sides of the tower. The entire pyramid is built on a huge convex rock, covering an area of about 52,900 square meters and a volume of about 2.6 million cubic meters. There was originally a layer of polished limestone veneer on the surface of the tower, which has now been weathered and completely peeled off.
The four inclined surfaces of the Khufu Pyramid are facing the east, south, west and north. Each surface is almost an equilateral triangle with an inclination angle of 51 degrees and 52 minutes.
Researchers have discovered that back in 2500 BC, four tunnels pointed to four special stars that were crossing the meridian at that time. They were respectively opposite the second star of Ursus, the second star of the sign "Emperor Star", the brightest first star in Canis Great, "Sirius", "North Star" and the first star of Draco, "Right Pole Star".
There is also a crazy pyramid lover named Ferendez Pitri, a British man who took his father to survey and map the Khufu pyramid for 20 years and was surprised to discover all kinds of magical numbers hidden in the Great Pyramid: the pyramid's own weight x1015 = the weight of the earth.
