Egypt - the land of the curse

"This book is dead" are scattered in the walls of ancient temples, in the sarcophagus, on papyrus scrolls.  The problem is you do not know how to find.
Sophie Campbell's Herald Sun newspaper record of her emotional journey to the legendary country.
She lay in the sarcophagus, legs crossed, wearing body-hugging clothes, put his hands down the body, the bob hair style is pretty perfect, eyes looking up at the sky like a sun-bathing tourists. It is Nut, the godShe was beautiful and the dress she wore sparkling starlight.
While travelers are eye eyes looked flat sarcophagus in the museum of Cairo, Egyptologist guide cum Khaled said: "You're looking in the mirror. Actually it is the goddess was carved into the lid."  So Nut has been imprisoned in the dark throughout the past 3,000 years, the eyes are not actually looking at the sky and watch the coffin of the mummy.
Egypt - the land of the curse
The book dead in Luxor.
roup tourist travel search "death book."  But that's not a real book, which is the mantra by the priest in his mouth blew a mummy coffin before closing, to protect the deceased from the forces of evil on the journey into the realm eternity. Over many centuries, the mantra that only written word of mouth, the first pyramid writing on the wall, then carved into sarcophagi and papyrus paper.These scrolls are on display at the British Museum, and the legend of the goddess Nut is written in chapter 122.
In Cairo Antiquities Museum (Egypt) is a collection of ancient Egyptian world's largest. Standing between the room filled with priceless objects such as masks taken from the mummy of King Tutankhamun, the gold burial custom map, Khaled said: "I am particularly interested in the 18th Dynasty pharaoh. It is time book deaths began to be used, and the Valley of the kings began to form. That was the first dynasty tectonic New Kingdom, the period of ancient Egyptian culture sublimation.
Mách bạn: Tour du lịch 7 ngày tới Ai Cập có giá khoảng 40 triệu. Tell you: 7 day tours to Egypt cost about 40 million.
So instead of lining up to admire the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, we went to find out about Amenhotep IV - who has renamed himself Akhenaten, instead of the god Ra (sun god) in a god that only he can see, less than 1,500 priests and usually draw myself in shape for a woman.Along with his son, King Tutankhamun and other Egyptian New Kingdom era (1500-1000 BC), he does not rest in eternal pyramids of Ancient ancestors Kingdom era, which is located in the basement tomb near Luxor, forming Valley of kings. Some walls of the tomb has drawn the chapters in the book of deaths.
Gradually, the process of "democratization" stripped of the privilege or use the resurrected dead book in the tombs of Egyptian kings levels. The rich people can build and decorate tomb walls with curses in the book of deaths.

Carvings of the goddess Nut in the Horemheb tomb in the Valley of kings.
Back to Cairo, I went up to the goddess Nut. She was lying there in the mirror, still dreaming like that.  But this time I suddenly see a new image: the boats in the sea at night, flying in the sunshine Nut. Suddenly everything becomes more meaningful to me. Mới chỉ 5.000 năm trôi qua... Only 5,000 years have passed ...
