4, kilometers of pilgrimage to civilization

4, km pilgrimage to civilization

I recommend a good book I read recently, A Journey to Civilization by Mr. Yu Qiuyu. On September 27th, 1999, Mr. Yu Qiuyu, Chen Luyu, Xu Gehui, Wu Xiaoli and his party started in Greece, passed through Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal and other countries, and finally returned to China.

It lasted 131 days, and they didn't fly or take the train. It was the rolling wheels of the jeep that took them through the 4,-kilometer journey. They went to four ancient civilizations, five civilizations and the birthplace of major religions in the world, and made an unprecedented civilization inspection and pilgrimage.

The book "A Journey to Civilization" truly describes the original appearance, glory and decline of civilizations around the world as witnessed by Mr. Yu Qiuyu and his party.

Mr. Yu Qiuyu wrote in his book that Greece is blue, Egypt is yellow, Israel is ivory, Iraq is gray, Iran is black, Pakistan is colorful, India is brown and black, and Nepal is green. These colors are all measured by walking one kilometer after another.

There are countless essences in the book. I would like to share a few impressive fragments:

Egypt, the legend of Pharaoh. "The air in the grave is very dangerous. Pharaoh put some drugs and parasites into it at that time. They said that if a thief enters the grave in the future, he deserved it. He deserved it. Therefore, the tomb has been sealed for more than 3, years, and few people go in, especially there are parasites inside. People should die within 1 minute. "

Israel, weep here. "According to Jewish custom, boys have to hold a cheerful adult ceremony at the age of 13, so sacred wailing wall has become the best place. Not only Israeli Jews will often come to wailing wall, but also thousands of Jews scattered around the world will make it their greatest wish to come to wailing wall to recite scriptures and pray. "

Iraq, 11 nights. "Years of oil embargo and economic blockade have made Iraq, a once rich country, desolate. There are few high-rise buildings in urban buildings, and the architectural colors are monotonous. However, some war-related buildings show the confidence of Iraqis, surrounded by green trees, tall and majestic, and the colorful parade square and heroes monument are extraordinary."

morning bath in Ganges, India. "Some people say that you can't appreciate religious fanaticism until you get to India, but the morning bath on the Ganges River in varanasi has brought this religious fanaticism to an extreme. At first light, you can see thousands of bathers bathing in muddy water. They all say something in their mouths, splashing water with their hands folded, giving water blessings, some brushing their teeth and washing their faces in the river empty-handed, and some are covered with soap and jumping into the water at any time.
