Chapter 4450 Chapter 4452 [God is not omnipotent]
Next, Xiang Nan went to find Alexander the Great's treasure.
Alexander the Great was a figure in the fourth century BC, roughly during the Warring States Period in China. He was the son of King Philip II of Macedonia and succeeded to the throne after his father was assassinated when he was only twenty years old.
However, Alexander the Great was incredibly talented and wise. After taking the throne, he quickly quelled the turmoil in the palace, defeated powerful enemies from all walks of life, and soon unified Greece.
After that, he led his army to the east, defeated the Persian Empire, unified the Egyptian Empire, and once reached the Indus River Basin, creating a super empire spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa.
But unfortunately, he passed away at the age of thirty-three. The huge empire he established after his death did not last long before falling apart.
Because Alexander the Great had outstanding military exploits and expanded countless territories without losing a single victory, his income was quite generous.
He obtained gold, silver, jewelry, books and classics, rare treasures, etc. from Greece, Persia, Egypt, Central Asia, India, etc. Therefore, Alexander the Great's treasure was extremely rich and has always been pursued by countless adventurers.
Xiang Nan found the tomb of Alexander the Great in the Egyptian desert.
It turned out that after his death, according to royal rules, he was to be buried in the Valley of the Royal Tombs in Macedonia. It is similar to the Ming Tombs, Qing Eastern Tombs, Qing Western Tombs, etc., and is a centralized burial place for kings.
However, because Alexander the Great died too hastily, he only had a young son and many powerful ministers. Therefore, the royal family and ministers competed for power and wealth, vying for the body of Alexander the Great.
Because Alexander the Great's reputation was so high at that time that he was almost regarded as a **** by his people, and therefore whoever got his body would have the power to rule the empire.
In the end, Alexander the Great's body was secretly taken to Egypt by his general Ptolemy. Ptolemy built a luxurious mausoleum for him and buried him with a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, books, classics and rare treasures.
Later Roman emperors Caesar, Octavian, Tiberius and others also visited it, but after that the tomb of Alexander the Great disappeared.
Some say it sank into the sea, and some say it was destroyed by pagans, but in fact the real reason is that the tomb of Alexander the Great was buried by quicksand.
The tomb of Alexander the Great was originally built on an oasis next to the city of Alexandria. However, as the environment deteriorated, the oasis gradually disappeared and the quicksand gradually eroded.
In the end, the entire tomb was buried deep in quicksand, so that future generations could not find its whereabouts at all.
…
It was in the long yellow sand that Xiang Nan found the tomb of Alexander the Great, and thus found the treasure that had been lost for more than two thousand years.
But it's not easy to get these treasures.
On the one hand, the mausoleum is under tens of meters of quicksand and can only be reached by relying on Xiang Nanhui's earth escape technique;
On the one hand, there are a large number of undead guarding the tomb. Most of these undead souls were soldiers who fought with Alexander the Great. They were buried together in his mausoleum. They also guarded the emperor's mausoleum to prevent it from being robbed by others.
On the other hand, there are many witchcraft and mechanisms in the tomb of Alexander the Great. Generally, when tomb robbers enter here, they are either under the influence of witchcraft or traps. All in all, it is very dangerous.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan was not an ordinary person. After passing many hurdles, he finally arrived at the core of Alexander the Great's tomb and obtained tons of gold and silver jewelry, tens of thousands of precious books, and Alexander the Great's two-horned crown. Alexander the Great liked to collect books very much, probably because he was a disciple of the famous scholar Aristotle. No matter which city he captured, he was not in a hurry to grab gold, silver and jewelry, but to collect books and documents.
Therefore, for more than ten years, he traveled east and west and collected a large number of books. Later he established the Library of Alexandria, one of the oldest libraries in the world. After his death, a copy of these books was buried with him.
After that, the city of Alexandria went through many wars, and the Library of Alexandria was looted and burned many times, causing this oldest library to be lost in the long history.
A large number of ancient books and documents were destroyed as a result, leaving only the tomb of Alexander the Great and a copy. It can be said that these books are priceless.
Alexander the Great is also known as the "Two-Horned King" because it is said that he is the son of the Greek **** Zeus and the witch Olympias, and one of Zeus's symbols is the bull.
In addition, after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, he was also regarded by the Egyptians as the son of the main **** Amun, and Amon's sacred animal was a ram.
Therefore, Alexander the Great was regarded as the "son of Zeus-Ammon", and his two-horned crown came from this. It was cast by craftsmen from Greece and Egypt and blessed by priests from both places, so it has the double blessing of Zeus and Amon.
After wearing it, it not only possesses powerful strength, but also possesses great wisdom, so Alexander the Great was able to lead the army and achieve so many achievements.
…
Xiang Nan still shared Alexander the Great's treasure with Tia Dalma, but Tia Dalma still didn't want anything.
"Alexander the Great is not the son of Zeus, that is just his self-promotion." Dia Dalma said disdainfully.
"In that case, why doesn't Zeus punish him?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.
Alexander the Great claimed to be the son of God. Not only was he not punished, but he also received God's blessing. Isn't this strange?
"God is not omnipotent. God can only affect the world, but cannot control it." Tia Dalma waved her hand and said, "Besides, Zeus himself is also very vain. Seeing that Alexander the Great is so capable, he is eager to make him his son. .
The same is true for God Amun. A person who is good at fighting and can bring him a lot of fame and followers, so what if he is not his biological child? "
"I see." Xiang Nan nodded, "Then what exactly is 'god'?"
"You want to explore the secrets of the gods?" Dia Dalma was stunned and asked immediately.
"Yes." Xiang Nan admitted frankly. He really wanted to know where the gods came from.
"You should not inquire too much into the secrets of the gods." Dia Dalma waved her hand and said, "The more you know, the more dangerous it will be for you."
"What's the danger?" Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.
"Because the more you know about the gods, the greater the chance that you will be sensed by the gods." Dia Dalma explained, "There are countless dangerous evil gods in the spiritual world. They take pleasure in destroying, killing, and destroying. Even I have to be wary of them. Imagine how dangerous you would be if you were targeted by them."
