Dead silence filled the chamber.
At this moment, not only in the tomb, but the netizens watching the broadcast were also unusually quiet.
Everyone looked inside the coffin. Under the flickering light of torches, they saw a jaw-dropping scene.
Inside the coffin, the first thing that came into view was the black iron armor of the corpse. Under the armor, the corpse was wrapped in layers of linen. Only its head was exposed.
What was even more shocking was that the flesh on its face was stuck to its skull like cured meat.
Even after thousands of years, there was still no sign of decay.
Although it was just a skeleton, one could still tell that it used to be tall and sturdy, heroic and extraordinary.
Gulp!
Instantly, the netizens started swallowing their saliva nervously.
Unlike the other dead bodies usually shown on television, Aaron’s body looked particularly big in front of the high-resolution camera.
It was as if the aura of the God of Slaughter had penetrated the screen, attacking everyone’s senses.
It was a shocking sight to behold.
“Holy f*ck! This is the real God of Slaughter Aaron!”
“Those so-called experts claimed that generals in ancient times were not tall. It’s all bullsh*t!”
“With such a tall and sturdy body, he must be nearly two meters tall!”
“According to historical records, Aaron was eight feet tall and exceptionally muscular. He could tear lions apart with bare hands. I thought it was an exaggeration, but now that I look at his corpse, I am more convinced.”
“Even after thousands of years, he still looks incomparably ferocious!”
“This must be Aaron. But why aren’t there any burial items around?”
“Exactly. Khufu wanted Aaron to be buried with him. How could he not have any burial items?”
The netizens were all puzzled.
In that era, High Priest Aaron’s status was the second highest in the country, only below that of Pharaoh Khufu. His status was not low at all. Furthermore, he was buried with Pharaoh Khufu. How could he not have any burial items?
This was indeed a little puzzling.
At this moment, some official comments popped up in the live stream.
“Please don’t underestimate those items in the coffin.”
“In fact, the number of burial items does not correlate to their value.”
“Take the coffin for example. This is made of 4000-year-old golden-silk wood. Due to its age, this piece of artifact alone is very valuable.”
“Also, the iron armors on Aaron’s body were extremely rare in his time.”
“Even now, the historical value of those iron armors is still very high. As of now, this is the only set of iron armor that can be traced back to thousands of years ago. It is also priceless.”
After reading those official comments, the netizens finally understood.
Based on their IDs, those officials were all archaeologists.
At that instant, the netizens were all stunned that something that they did not take seriously would turn out to be so valuable.
If that was the case, wouldn’t one get rich by just carrying this coffin out?
At this moment, all the archaeologists started commenting to warn the exorcists.
“Don’t destroy the coffin and the armors. They are all valuable items of high historical significance.”
“Yes, you need to protect those artifacts well. When we archaeologists enter the pyramid again, we’ll bring all of them out.”
…
The Scott siblings saw their comments.
But they ignored them. They couldn’t care less about the priceless coffin and armors.
After all, they had come here only to lift the Scott family’s curse.
They must do it.
Nevertheless, after years of searching, they only managed to find one solution, and that was to counter poison with poison.
However, the Scotts hadn’t been able to find the poison they wanted before this.
Firstly, they required that the dead must die with hatred, and the emotion must be so strong that the corpse would not rot after many years.
Secondly, the body must be buried in a suitable ground, which could provide nourishment for the body, possibly allowing it to evolve.
Only the blood in that kind of mummies was what the Scotts needed.
At that thought, the Scott siblings looked at the corpse in the coffin.
From the looks of it, only High Priest Aaron’s corpse fulfilled the conditions.
They realized that High Priest Aaron’s body had been dried over the years, but there was no sign of decay.
Overall, the corpse looked well preserved.
However, based on their previous inspection, this coffin was not completely sealed.
In other words, the fact that this ancient corpse had not decayed was not because of good preservation methods.
Rather, it was due to the strong resentment that had been lingering in the tomb for the past thousands of years.
At that thought, the three of them felt their hearts pounding hard. This was the Scott family’s best chance to break the curse.
At this moment.
“Why is this corpse… not rotting at all?”
The cameraman looked at the hideous-looking corpse and couldn’t help but ask.
You shouldn’t blame him for being timid.
Everything in the Pyramid of Giza was simply too creepy.
And as for a corpse that died thousands of years but did not rot…
Anyone who saw it would be scared.
“In ancient times, there were only two possibilities for a corpse to be preserved well,” Wayne replied calmly.
“The first scenario is that the body underwent good preservation treatments. But this coffin is not sealed well.”
“So it must fall within the second case, which says that the person had held deep grudges before he died.”
What?!
Everyone watching the broadcast was shocked at his words.
Could grudges really help to preserve one’s body?
But thinking about it, it made sense. They had seen strange things like sacred scarabs. So it’s actually not entirely impossible for such a bizarre thing to happen.
At the thought of this, the netizens started commenting.
“Speaking of which, High Priest Aaron did die of unjust treatment.”
“It is said that when his Pharaoh sentenced him to death, he sighed to the sky and lamented the injustice the world had done to him!”
“Oh my god, how deep were his grudges? It’s been thousands of years, how can his corpse not rot?!”
“If it were you, your hatred would probably be even stronger than his!”
“What else do you think? High Priest Aaron fought and won more than 40 battles for Egypt. In order to unify Egypt, he never stopped fighting. He even killed 200,000 enemy soldiers who had surrendered and carried all the sins on himself. In the end, his Pharaoh deemed his great achievements a threat to his ruling and sentenced him to death.”
“It seems that this high priest lived a pitiful life. Let’s not dig his tomb!”
