Introduction to Tracking Egypt Mystery:
Focusing on some of the most important discoveries in the ancient Egyptian world, this album traces back time and space to explore the three greatest legends.
It includes: Howard Carter discovered the forgotten pharaoh Tutankhamen; The vagrant adventurer Bertoni went deep into the upper reaches of the Nile River and found the greatest building in the reign of Ramses II, Abu Simbel Temple, which was sunk in the yellow sand, and the talented linguist Shang Fangsihua, who traced back through the ancient language to unlock the ancient Egyptian and hieroglyphics that could not be solved for thousands of years.
This album will gradually unravel the ancient Egyptian civilization and myth buried under the loess for thousands of years through layer upon layer analysis.
