"Where are you going?" asked the League Secretary.
"I've downloaded some popular science articles about the pyramids before. They should all be saved on my laptop. I'll take a look at them."
Masha opened the door and returned to the maid shop, quickly getting her laptop.
After a short operation, he said: "My guess was right, a mirage - I mean the illusion was a distant view, so no one saw it at first, plus there was the Sphinx interfering with judgment, we all thought it was a mirage of the Great Pyramid of Khufu near Cairo."
"What's the reality?" Baiquan asked anxiously.
"It is actually the Step Pyramid of the Third Dynasty Emperor. There are two spellings of this pharaoh's name, one is pronounced Zoser and the other is pronounced Qiaoser. I don't know which one is closer to the ancient pronunciation."
Baiquan: "Joselle Joestar?"
"How can there be an Egyptian named Joestar?"
"But Cairo is where Lord Dio rests forever!" Baiquan shouted.
Masha glanced at Xiao Shi, and the witch mentioned the fate of the raccoon cat.
The raccoon cat suddenly became quiet and hung there obediently.
That look reminded Masha of the self-hanging Southeast branch that was popular many years ago.
The League Secretary had already taken the time to finish reading the information on Masha's screen and said, "That's not right. Your information says that the Djoser Pyramid is in the shape of six steps, very similar to the Aztec pyramids. I remember that the mirage we saw was an authentic Egyptian pyramid, right?"
"Egyptian pyramids use materials such as lime to cover the surface and make a slope. Over time, these materials are weathered, leaving only the steps made of huge stones underneath. This is different from the Aztec and Mayan pyramids that directly create steps. Moreover, the purpose of the Egyptian pyramids is different from that of the American pyramids.
"The weekly ones are the observatories and altars, and the Egyptians are the tombs."
Masha listed a long list of things in detail.
Next, he clicked on the internal structure diagram of the Great Pyramid of Khufu in the data.
"I think this is the reason why it is not the Pyramid of Khufu. From below, it is obvious that the internal structure of the phantom pyramid in the sky is relatively simple. The Pyramid of Khufu is a product of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, and most of the pyramids that came after it use similar craftsmanship to the pyramids of the Fourth Dynasty.
"So what we see should be the pyramids of the Third Dynasty. The two dynasties used different techniques to build the pyramids. The Third Dynasty's pyramids were relatively simple."
“And among the pyramids of the Third Dynasty, the oldest is this Djoser’s.”
"Then you haven't explained why the appearance of the Pyramid of Illusion looks similar to the Pyramid of Khufu." Xiao Shi asked puzzledly.
Masha looked at Xiao Shi, and then Baiquan sighed.
Baiquan said: "Obviously, that was the appearance of the pyramid before it was weathered. There should have been a sphinx in front of it, but I don't know what destroyed it, after all, it has been so long."

Chapter 524 Collision (Part )
Johnny was planning his trip to China when he was suddenly called to the joint command center of the CIA and NSA. He was obviously a little upset when he entered the door.
But Ben just shoved the briefing in his face, shutting him up before he could say anything foul—or insult anyone.
Johnny was quite impatient at first, but his impatient expression soon gave way to seriousness - he had a set of "speed reading methods" that he had developed himself. As long as the material he was reading was in English and not a literary work, he would have no problem reading ten lines at a glance.
As for why it doesn't work for literary works, Johnny said that the efficiency of information transmission in literary works is too low, and there is too much useless information, which interferes with his use of this speed reading method.
"Literature conveys emotion more than information, and those who use any speed-reading method to take shortcuts will eventually find that they have wasted their time." Johnny told Ben, "And those who think they have read a work after reading a synopsis are the most pathetic fools in the world."
Now, after Johnny finished reading the briefing in one go using his unique speed reading method, he asked directly: "Is the mirage still there?"
"Still."
“I want images from the scene.”
"Yes, but it was filmed with Soviet equipment." Bill from the NSA glanced at his supervisor at the CIA, feeling a little gloating because this guy would have to endure Johnny's verbal offensive.
NSA agents are saying that the previous CIA supervisor resigned because he was so mentally exhausted by Johnny's criticism, and after a course of psychological treatment that didn't work, he had no choice but to request a transfer.
The CIA director looked calm.
Johnny: "Soviet equipment? Where are our expensive satellites and drones? Where is our Global Hawk?"
"Our equipment is not very adaptable to the desert. The wind has a high sand content these days, so we are still maintaining it."
"Then why not use the universal ginger?" Johnny asked doubtfully, "Aren't their products famous for their high reliability?"
"Well, the President just signed an executive order a few days ago, asking the CIA, NSA, and FBI to stop using equipment from Chinese companies...
"In fact, we didn't deploy any drones today because the commander-in-chief suddenly issued an order and we were not prepared at all. We usually assign routine surveillance and emergency response surveillance tasks to Dajiang's drones..."
Johnny was shocked: "So, we shouldn't use extra strength to protect that idiot. If Ying wants to kill him, then let them do it. I even give them a thumbs up."
"Isn't it a bad idea to say this out loud?" Ben asked worriedly.
"Why not? I've made it clear. When the situation was critical and someone with super powers was needed to save him, I refused to go out because I'm not Tony Stark, the Iron Man who appears to be heartless but actually has an explosive sense of responsibility. I'm Johnny, the Iron Master.
"Tony Stark is a totem you created to glorify capitalists, but I am a real capitalist." Johnny paused and added, "A real industrial capitalist. I will not save a speculator who plays with real estate and finance."
No one dared to respond to Johnny's words.
The tall and fat NSA guy said, "We actually have a live video feed shared by Chinese agents in their office in Egypt. It's clearer than the Soviet one. How about we use this?"
CIA Director: "Just received news that the Global Hawk will be in the air in one minute."
"Then let's watch the footage provided by the Chinese for one minute. Put it on the big screen."
Johnny gave the order directly, completely regarding himself as the supreme commander of this command center.
His orders were faithfully carried out because everyone was used to being directly commanded by Johnny.
Although Johnny had previously fought against Ying several times in the air, and Ying moved too fast, the agents from the two intelligence agencies believed that Johnny should be the one among them who knew Ying best and had the greatest chance of defeating him.
Under Johnny's command, at least the NSA and CIA were able to benefit from Shadow's tailwind, and even gave people a sense of certainty that "it will work this time."
Without Johnny, let alone the exhaust gas, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the taillights of the car.
Johnny was pleased that his orders were carried out immediately.
He looked at the "Mirage" on the big screen and asked Ben, "What do you think?"
"A holographic projection from ancient times?"
Ben used a questioning tone.
Johnny: "At first glance, you might think it's the Pyramid of Khufu, but if you look closely, you'll find that the angle of the hypotenuse of this pyramid is different from that of the Pyramid of Khufu, and this pyramid is slightly flatter."
Ben: “You can tell by just looking at it?”
"No, I calculated it. I know that the distance between the pyramids of Khufu and his sons and the Sphinx is 400 meters. I also know the positional relationship between the mausoleum and the Sphinx, the height of the Sphinx and the pyramid, and the Sphinx is facing us. With these conditions, I can calculate it.
"The height of this pyramid is not in proportion to the height of the Sphinx. If you don't believe it, you can go up and measure it yourself with a ruler on the screen."
Ben shrugged. "No, I don't think it's necessary. But, you really know all this."
"I once thought about becoming an archaeologist." Johnny continued to focus on the screen.
"But there is only one Sphinx in Egypt..."
Ben: “Yeah, just one.”
Johnny clapped his hands vigorously: "This mirage does not show the current scene! This is a newly built pyramid and the Sphinx guarding the tower by an ancient pharaoh."
Ben: "You mean... there should be a sphinx near every pyramid?"
"Is this strange? Maybe the first pharaoh who built the Sphinx was a person with super powers, and he raised a loyal Sphinx as a mount and pet, so he built a statue for his pet in front of his curtain to prevent loneliness." Although Johnny said this in a joking tone, this is an era of spiritual revival. Since it is "revival", there must have been a process of exhaustion before.
The mythical age was probably real.
Why do we think the Sphinx is a fantasy creature?
Perhaps on the contrary, it once soared in the sky of this earth, leaving a deep impression on the ancestors of the Egyptians, so they wrote a documentary literature in cuneiform to pass it down, but it was eventually regarded as a myth by ignorant later generations.
This kind of thing is entirely possible.
Stonehenge is all aglow.
Petra also underwent strange changes and was then destroyed by the Soviets.
So what's going on with the pyramids is normal, isn't it?
The UK also reported that Loch Ness began to glow. Perhaps a monster will be discovered in the lake soon, or the Sword of Victory that sank in the lake may be found.
Johnny: "It was Jocel, one of the most powerful pharaohs of the Third Dynasty. His royal physician and wizard supervised the construction of the first pyramid in ancient Egypt, which was Jocel's tomb.
"Get ready for the plane. I'm going to Egypt."
Ben: “What about China?”
Johnny slapped his forehead hard: "Damn, you still want this."
He picked up the situation briefing and turned to the page that listed the operators and people with super powers that the CIA could currently mobilize in Egypt.
"There's an SSS in charge... Then let's go to China first, inspect the orchard as quickly as possible, and then head straight to Egypt."
Johnny made his decision.

I'll come to remind you again at 12 o'clock in the evening.
Chapter 525 Egypt is going to be awesome (Update )
Masha decided to go straight to Pharaoh Joe's tomb.
Shelley asked in surprise, "You're not going to catch Cleopatra?"
"If the stone mask is really dug out there, then Cleopatra will definitely go there. It should be said that all the superpowers in Egypt and even in North Africa will rush there."
Masha said confidently.
"This is exactly what I want. I'm just wondering how I can sneak into that underground base without Cleopatra being able to find me hiding in the shadow of the earth."
"Is that so? But isn't this a little too coincidental? Just when you were having a headache over this matter, something like this happened, attracting all the superpowers in Egypt to a specific place." Chihiro looked a little worried. "Is this really just a coincidence?"
Masha shook his head: "It's not a coincidence. Think about what happened to us in Petra. Although we didn't find the Nine Cauldrons, such a powerful treasure as the Ark of the Covenant was placed there. I think this shows that Petra is indeed a key point. Maybe all the Nine Cauldrons are placed on important spiritual veins."
"Spiritual vein?" Baiquan interrupted, "Is it similar to the one in Fuyuki City?"
"That's about the same idea," Masha nodded. "You see, the God's presence on earth is limited to being effective only when buried on the 'earth.' My little car only recognizes the 'earth' after entering the shadow of the earth, so I boldly speculate that the source of spiritual energy is the earth beneath our feet. However, scientific research requires bold assumptions and careful verification. I still have to verify step by step whether this is true."
Qianxun: "You mean, the Soviet bombing disturbed the spiritual veins, which led to this strange phenomenon?"
"Well, in the end, I'm not sure if this is a strange phenomenon or some mechanism left by the ancients that was triggered by the change in the spiritual veins." Masha shrugged, "But there is a high possibility that the Soviet bombing is related to the current strange phenomenon. After all, they blew down a layer of soil several hundred meters thick in an instant."
Although blasting technology has made great progress, it is now possible to cause huge and considerable destructive effects by placing a small amount of explosives at key points.
But Masha believed that the Soviets must have used an insane amount of explosives to blow up the Gobi stratum that was more than 300 meters thick.
——Also, I have to thank them for not using an atomic bomb to blow up the hole because they didn't have enough time.
——It is really possible that the Soviets did this. After all, they tried to use atomic bombs to build artificial lakes and dig canals.
Only the Soviets could think of such a crazy thing. The key is that they not only thought of it, but also actually did it.
"The impact of the explosion is estimated to have spread quite far in the bottom shell," Masha continued, "so it's not surprising that it would affect the spirit veins."
——If this is true, it means that the spirit vein can be affected by a sufficient amount of explosives.
Masha silently kept this in mind.
Chihiro seemed to accept what Masha said: "Since you said so, I won't say anything more."
"There's no point in saying more. I'm on the road now. At our speed, we'll soon reach Pharaoh Joe's tomb."
Cai Shi: "Brother, can you please not directly teach him Pharaoh Qiao? His last name is not Qiao."
"I'm happy to yell that. If he has the guts, he can crawl out from underground and beat me up. I'm driving in the Gobi Desert right now. This is his home turf. I want to tell him, 'You can go now.'"
Cai Shi: "When the ghost of Pharaoh Qiao really comes out, I will definitely laugh at you, my senior brother, who has set a flag for himself."
"Could this Qiao Saier really be a stand-in?" the League Secretary joked.
"It's hard to say, maybe Hirohiko Araki is a god who has lived from the mythological age to the present, and then he drew JOJO based on the images of his old friends in his memory." Masha said the trash talk with a serious face.
Chihiro: "So what will be Pharaoh Qiao's substitute? God Amon?"
