Chapter 386 Discussion and News
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the Golden Dawn organization once split due to internal doubts, but the organization has survived until today and is an integral part of the upper class.
Although according to public information, the last sanctuary of this organization, the Will La Temple in North Haveno, New Zealand, was closed in 1978, in fact this organization has not disappeared.
After all, these temples used to be just an office to contact members from different places, but with the advancement of technology, it became easier and easier to connect members from different places, so the value of such liaison offices was also declining.
Considering that most of the time this organization has less than 200 global members, after realizing that the value of the temple is getting smaller and smaller, the members of the Golden Dawn finally gave up these expensive but useless buildings.
And the personnel of this organization have always existed and maintained activities in the upper class of the West.So it's not inconceivable that a member of the Golden Dawn showed up at Nelson's party today.
Taking out the Tarot cards on this occasion immediately showed a difference, so many people on the field were attracted to them, and Liang En also took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd and approach the opponent.
But after getting closer, Liang En discovered that this middle-aged man who seemed to have come out of Sherlock Holmes did not perform divination, but told stories about Tarot cards to the people around him.
After talking about the tarot cards, the middle-aged man who introduced himself as Harry began to talk about some scientific research and data collection work carried out by him and the Golden Dawn organization.
Judging from what the other party said, Harry should have done fieldwork, more than once, and he was not the kind of guy who made up random stories.
While talking, Harry talked about the deciphering of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. According to the thoughts of their members of the Golden Dawn, the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs contained the ancient Egyptians' knowledge of everything.
Because of the deciphering of ancient Egyptian characters, they were gradually able to understand a series of materials in this area collected in the organization, and learned a lot about ancient Egyptian gods, sacrifices, and magic.
"We deciphered many poems that the ancient Egyptians sang during religious ceremonies, and were able to restore these poems based on the deciphered language. For example, this one is about the Nile River—"
Speaking of this, Harry began to recite an ancient poem, and Liang En soon heard that the pronunciation of these words and sentences almost all originated from the papers and reports he had submitted before.
What the other party recited was a "Ode to the Nile" from the time of Ramses II's son Mernaptah, which originated in the 13th century BC and was one of the hymns recited by the ancient Egyptians when they worshiped the Nile River.
To be honest, just through those papers and Coptic reciting to the current level is already very good, basically able to create the background of ancient Egypt, and after reading slowly, the ancient Egyptians can barely understand about half of the level .
If you want to make an analogy, it is similar to the overall feeling of Chinese people looking at Japanese materials mixed with Chinese characters when they travel to Japan.
After Harry finished reading these things, he was ready to receive applause, but unexpectedly found that today's applause was not as enthusiastic as before, and the surrounding audience kept turning their heads to look at a young man of East Asian descent.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Liang who deciphered the ancient Egyptian text?" Harry was a little uncomfortable with the lack of warm applause, but after carefully looking at Liang En's face, he immediately said to Liang En with an expression of admiration.
"Yes, I was the one who deciphered the ancient Egyptian." Liang En nodded with a proud expression on his face, because his knowledge of ancient Egyptian has surpassed Champollion's level.
[Imhotep (SR)] What the card brings to Liang En is actually a comprehensive understanding of the ancient kingdom of ancient Egypt, and the inheritance of ancient Egyptian priests allows Liang En to complete all priests like ancient Egyptian priests. able to do things.
Next, under Harry's repeated invitation, Liang En re-recited the content of "Ode to the Nile" in ancient Egyptian. Although everyone could not understand, but these people felt a kind of divine power from Liang En's recitation.
"Yes, yes, divine, this is the real divine power." Just after Liang En finished reciting, Harry showed an excited expression, "This is the kind of power we want to find."
It has to be said that in order to gain the approval of the people, those ancient Egyptian priests have repeatedly studied this method that Liang En regards as pretending to be a ghost, and can reflect a sense of sacredness through simple changes in pronunciation, intonation and speed of speech.
Especially when Liang En recited just now, he also used the reciting skills brought to him by the [Poetry Singing (R)] card, which made the sacred feeling in this kind of poetry to a higher level.
So in the following banquet, Mr. Harry kept surrounding Liang En and exchanging with him about the ancient content, including but not limited to a series of knowledge about writing, poetry, god sacrifice and so on.
During the chat, Liang En learned that Mr. Harry, a professor of anthropology at Oxford University, is also a senior member of the British branch of the Golden Dawn Organization, and mainly studies the occult aspects of human history.
He took his students to the Mithraic sun cave that Liang En found before, and he went there several times, and researched a lot of valuable things from it.
For example, through some cherry stones and chicken bones that fell from the cracks in the stone, they knew that there was a banquet in the ancient Mithraic religious ceremony, and the ceremony would start in May and June when the cherries were ripe.
"Yes, this coincides with Mithraism's habit of celebrating the summer solstice." Liang En agreed with their discovery. Although he had only obtained the religious knowledge of Mithraism at the crow level before, this part of the content he did not know. Just know.
An important vocation of Mithra is the sun, so these believers will naturally hold religious ceremonies on June 6, the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, to commemorate their gods.
In addition to the questions about Mithra's sun cave, the two also discussed the epics of the ancient Vikings and the sacrificial rituals of the ancient Egyptians to the gods, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.
The people on the field didn't think there was anything wrong with it, at least in everyone's eyes, the more powerful the scholar, the more different he was from ordinary people.It is a normal operation for this type of people to suddenly think of something and start a discussion directly.
Because the content they were discussing was too niche, except for Joan who was quietly sitting on the side and wandering in the sky, everyone else consciously avoided this place and lowered their voices to avoid disturbing them.
"By the way, did you know that Greece is selling state-owned land recently?" Harry said suddenly when they were talking about Greece from the Vikings to the Mediterranean, and then from ancient Egypt all the way north.
"The sale of state-owned land, what's going on?" Liang En asked, he really didn't know the news.So I was suddenly interested.
You must know that Mr. Harry is not a businessman, so when it comes to this aspect, it is definitely not for commercial investment.And judging from his hobbies and identity, this has a high probability to be related to the ancient ruins.
