Chapter 232 I must have arrived in a fake village
After chatting with the water friends, Fang Hong set off. In the first hour, he arrived at a city in front of the Valley of the Kings. According to legend, it was the last big city to the south.

Fang Hong filled up the fuel tank of the motorcycle, then filled a barrel of oil, and set off on the road.

Along the way, something always felt wrong.

There are too many people on the road.

Not just the tourist kind, but a lot of locals as well.

Bullock carts and carriages are everywhere on the road, and there are even camel teams.

Fang Hong flipped through the map and confirmed that there were no large settlements between Luxor, where the Valley of the Kings was located, and Aswan, at most there were towns, and Aswan was only a marked small city.

But what the fuck, this population density is higher than that of Shanghai, what kind of small town?
Finally, a knowledgeable water friend came out to speak: "Hahahaha, I like to see the gun brother suffer. In Egypt, along the Nile River, from Cairo to Aswan, there are all people. There is no such thing as a small population without a city. In the past, you thought there were few people because the oasis was along the river, and ordinary towns were still far away from the river. But at this section of the road, the towns are all built along the river, and the population density is second only to southeast India. The population density here is comparable to It is wider than Beijing and Shanghai.”

"So, the entire bank of the Nile is one big city connected together?"

"How can it be connected into one piece, every other section is just a little bit empty."

"I, Cao, I must have arrived in a fake village."

Most of Fang Hong’s cross-country activities can be characterized as equipment-assisted orienteering, and rarely pass through areas with so many people and such complicated components. Although walking like this does not affect the live broadcast, it will have a great impact on the subsequent documentary film up.

Because there isn't a single hotspot.

Now Fang Hong has two choices, either temporarily change the route, apply for free entry and exit, and take a long-distance exodus, or turn around and plunge into the Libyan desert, which is the eastern desert of the Sahara desert.

"The Valley of the Kings has arrived."

"We are now [-] kilometers away from Cairo, and we can go west to the Valley of the Kings, or it should be translated into the Valley of the Kings. This place is the same as the pyramids. The city of Luxor seems to be quite developed. This place is the capital of ancient Egypt. The location of Thebes. The Valley of the Kings is further to the west. As I said before, in Egyptian culture, the deceased should be to the west of the city. From this, we can see that Thebes was quite big back then. , and now only a few relics can be seen.”

"History always gives us an illusion that the ancient Egyptian civilization was far more developed than our Xia and Shang civilization because their cities were bigger. In fact, this is wrong because they were an oasis civilization, and the Nile River There are flood seasons, so they are forced to build metropolises in places where there is no possibility of being flooded. This kind of condition that promotes urban development does not exist in our Yellow River Basin, because Dayu has already established the dredging of the Yellow River when he controlled the water. The river channel and the water control method of building high dams have been used until now.”

"In the era that overlapped with my country's Shang Dynasty, Egyptian pharaohs dug a large number of tombs on the cliffs here. It can be guessed that the floods were very severe back then. There are also a large number of temples here. Of course, it is better to go in by motorcycle. We are far away. Just look at it from a distance.”

"Brother Gun, you have said so much that you can't go, you are the one who is poisonous..."

From a distance, you can only see a little bit of steps in the limestone canyon, and you can't see more things.

Fang Hong was helpless: "We can't drill into the tomb every day. I just watched Sun City not long ago, and now I went to the Valley of the Kings. I'm not a fan of undead."

"Do you know where the hottest and coldest places in the world are?"

"Brother Gun, you are now on the border of the Sahara. Of course the hottest place is here, and the coldest place is the Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica."

Fang Hong shook his finger: "The coldest place in the world is the morgue, and the hottest place is the crematorium."

"MDZZ!"

Fang Hong overlooked: "What's more, it's still super large, a mortuary 3000 years ago..."

"Let's go, continue south."

From here to the south, I originally thought that there would be no one there, but when I got here, there were people everywhere as far as I could see, and even tourist buses were everywhere, and even Chinese people could see it.

"From here to the south, there are all kinds of temples everywhere. You said that with our cultural background, it is still quite difficult to understand what these temples are for, so I won't go to see them. Don't pay attention to things that you have forgotten, and we headed south quickly, at full speed."

After several days of traveling, Mahjong discovered one thing decisively, that is, the fuel tank is often roasted very hot, but if you directly jump on it and keep yourself still, the fuel tank will always be cool. After one o'clock, Mahjong decisively turned into a lazy cat.

The motorcycle is speeding, and it is faster than before. The oasis here is getting narrower and narrower. As long as you move a little bit towards the desert, you will not meet people, and there is no possibility of being blocked.

On the sand dunes, a lizard looked around with its skin-wrapped eyes rotating 180 degrees. His eyes were like two cones growing in the eye sockets, completely covered by the skin, leaving only a small hole.

This prevents moisture from spreading and also allows for focus.

The lizard seemed to have discovered something, turned back and plunged into the sand, then pushed its four claws wildly, and finally got into the sand, leaving a wavy mark on the ground.

The next moment, Fang Hong's motorcycle speeded past.

On the way, Fang Hong received a call and started to slow down.

"Hello? Oh, oh, you!"

"I'm going south, have you finished the competition? How's the result? Congratulations, haha, yes, we have the chance to be together again, okay." After hanging up the phone, Fang Hong explained: "Do you still remember flying over the Grand Canyon? The dude did the full Sahara and he asked me if I was in the race and I told him I picked the route alone."

Fang Hong has never felt that these sports have such a strong sense of participation. Of course, sponsors play the same role as water friends and TV viewers, that is, to provide financial resources.

Walking on the side of the oasis, on the desert, people can't help but think of Sanmao.

"Our understanding of the Sahara basically comes from the descriptions in Sanmao's writings, but in fact Sanmao himself has not stayed in the Sahara for too long, and only the adventure journey has not lived. She seems to live on the island west of the Sahara Where does Spain belong, that place must not be a desert, we are east of the Sahara."

The yellow sand is everywhere, although it is spectacular, it will definitely make people feel aesthetically tired.

After advancing for a long time, Fang Hong deviated from the direction and plunged into the oasis: "Is there a feeling of surprise? Adventure in the desert and encountering an oasis is not only the joy of encountering water sources, but also makes people's eyes warm after looking at it for a long time. When you suddenly see the color green after toning, there will always be some special feelings naturally."

"Brother Gun, what do you eat today?"

"Let's see what fish we can catch."
