Where's the photo of the Egyptian lion's face?

 

In ancient Egypt, lions are regarded as the guardian God of the Egyptian people. However, the passage of thousands of years has greatly changed the appearance of stylenx. The Holy snake and the drooping length on the forehead are unknown. This is understandable, why is my face's central nose missing?

Traveling to Egypt, if you don't look at the pyramid, you will feel like walking back to Baoshan empty-handed. Some people may not know about the hafra pyramid, but they mention the siphex --
There is almost no one in the world.

The holy snake is embossed, and the lower jaw length is straight down. The lion and the human face are carved on the same boulder.

In ancient mythology, a lion's face is a monster born from a giant and a demon snake: The head of a person, the body of a lion, and the wings of a bird.

. So, why would ofa HOV of Egypt have carved the huge sifiens in front of his tomb --
What about the lion's face?

It is said that when the Pyramid was built, it was a quarry. The quartors mined the finest rock in the field to construct the pyramid. However, a rock in the middle contains shell and other impurities. The structure is loose, so they are not needed. After the pyramid is completed, a hill is left on the quarry. The King came to the construction site to inspect his future mausoleum. Seeing the mountain standing in front of the tower, the king looked unsightly and Long Yan was unhappy. Talented designers draw inspiration from ancient mythology and mountain shapes. The hills are carved out in an ingenious manner into the portrait of hafla and the body of the lion, and the wisdom of the symbol is combined with the brave of the lion. That's why sparks --
The lion's face is generated.

Regardless of the legend, he always leaves a mysterious styling art for future generations. It is the world's oldest and largest lion-like.

Of course, there are still many legends about the hafra lion's face image.

There is a stone tablet in the middle of the two sides of the hafra mirror, with a story engraved on it. In the 18th dynasty, 3500
A hundred years ago, all of them were buried in the sand, and people could not see the statue. 100
Years later, a prince was hunting in this region. When he rested, he sat right next to the lion's portrait. Of course, he could not see the lion's portrait at that time. While he was sleeping, he dreamed of a mirror and said to him,"
If you help me remove the sand from my body, I will help you become the Pharaoh of Egypt ."
As soon as the prince woke up, he quickly sent someone to clear the sand buried in the mirror. Later, the prince became the old French king, the themos IV.

Later, the ancient Egyptian people thought that the photo of the lion was the god of the Egyptian guardian.

However, it may be understandable that the passage of thousands of years has greatly changed the appearance of sifenx, because the holy snakes on the forehead and the drooping long-musts do not know where to go, but why does the nose in the center of the face disappear?

As a result, there are various legends of sentiment --

One of them: the mass building of the pyramid has made the masses angry and have launched an uprising and riots. stylenx has become the outfitting of people, and its beard and nose were knocked out by the workers at that time.

Statement 2: five hundred years ago, the Lion's face was shot as a large gun by the maumu liuke (near guard in the Middle Ages in Egypt) of the king of Egypt.

Statement 3: The ancient Egyptian, under the threat of Pharaoh, were forced to bow their heads to siphex. Some of those who oppose idol worship use their heads to destroy their faces. There is also a saying about Napoleon about the nose of the lion's Face Image: 1798
When Napoleon invaded Egypt in the year, he was very arrogant. Many people came to the Pyramid Group in front of him, but sifenx looked down on the east and did not bow down to the Minister. Napoleon was furious, and he ordered a shot of the lion's face. As a result, Napoleon's soldiers used the lion's face as a target for practice. The nose of the lion's face burst into the air test.

Another record is as follows: after Napoleon took Egypt, in order to find the cave of the treasure under the body of Stephen, Napoleon ordered the soldiers to dig everywhere, however, after several days of digging, the soldiers still did not find the entrance to the treasure house. Therefore, the angry Napoleon ordered his soldiers to use the cannon to kill the image of stylenx, so I blew my nose off.

The two statements, regardless of the purpose, are in short caused by the blow of Napoleon's anger.

The fact is true: neither of these two statements is true. Although Napoleon is an intruder, from the diaries and memoirs left by Napoleon, it is not just an intermediary, but it will only rashly act. He was interested in history from an early age. He is a person with great respect for science and culture.
Let scholars walk in the middle of the team"
. In addition, he is also a very knowledgeable person, who is a senior student in mathematics, history, and other natural sciences. He studied Egyptian culture as much as the famous scholar at that time. 1798
When he sent troops out of Egypt, he brought nearly 200
A group of scholars from history, mathematics, architecture, language, and archaeology, to study the history and culture of Egypt. I would like to ask how a person who is so respectful of his culture can do anything that abets him?

Later, after a detailed investigation, the scientists gave their own conclusions.

In fact, the first culprit in the serious damage to the lion's face is nature. In the western part of Egypt, the HUF pyramid is surrounded by a large volume of sand and gravel, hitting the pyramid constantly. The force and frequency of the sand and stone strikes are so high that the lions have been completely swallowed up by the desert many times. 18
When Napoleon came here in Century, the sand was flooded with the neck of the lion's face, until 19
At the end of the century, Egypt made great efforts to rectify these quicksands, and it took 70
In years, the sand around the lion's face was cleared. At that time, the stone's nose was damaged.

In addition, the HOV pyramid is in the desert, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large. The heat expands and shrinks, And the Broken Stone will also damage the nose of the lion's face.

Another reason is that it cannot be ignored, that is, the stone like a lion is a very soft limestone, and it cannot be as solid as a pyramid. The sun and rain that have been taking longer and longer months, coupled with the strong sandstorm in western Egypt, are not damaged.
