Chapter 998 The Place on Earth Most Like Mars (Galaxy 23)
Leah Alonso is one of the two women in Yang Jing's eight secretary team. She was born in Barcelona, Spain, and is a beautiful Catalan girl.
After Leah obtained a master's degree in economics and management at the University of Barcelona, she was photographed by Joseph Hunter by chance and introduced her to Atlantic Capital.After working at Atlantic Capital for several years, Leah has become one of the candidates for her successor with her outstanding performance.
However, last time the headquarters of the Dragon Fund wanted to equip the new boss Yang Jing with a secretary team. After consulting Lia's personal opinion, Joseph recommended her, and she was lucky to be selected and became the leader of the entire villain. One of the eight people closest to the big boss in the Dragon Fund.
Leah's biggest hobby is traveling, and she travels around every year during her holidays.Just like the ancient city of Petra, she had been here two years ago, so this time she visited the ancient city of Petra, and Leah became the guide.
"Boss, Sophia, this is the ancient city of Petra." Leah stood beside Yang Jing and Ge Ge, pointing to the ruins of buildings in the surrounding valley and said, "As early as the sixth century BC, it has been from Arabia The nomadic Nabataeans moved north from the Arabian Peninsula and came to this hidden valley, where they established the capital of the Kingdom of Erdom. See that valley hidden in the mountains over there? That is the famous The Sikh Gorge, at the end of that gorge, is the famous Khazneh Temple.”
Because of spending so many days with Morris and the others, the secretaries who originally called Yang Jing "BOSS" have now learned from Morris and the others, calling Yang Jing "Boss".
"Let's go, let's visit the ruins outside the Xike Mountain Gorge first, and save the best ones for the last." Yang Jing said with a smile.
On the periphery, they spent about two hours visiting the relics full of vicissitudes of history, and then began to walk towards the Xike Mountain Gorge.
Just now, I didn't think the Xike Mountain Gorge was so strange from the outside, but after walking in, the group of people had to feel the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
The gorge is extremely narrow, the widest part is estimated to be less than ten meters wide, and the narrowest part only allows a carriage to pass through, and the cliffs on both sides of the canyon must be at least seven or eighty meters or higher by visual inspection. It can't even sprinkle its light into this narrow and deep canyon. The canyon is winding and winding. In some places, because there is no sunlight, it even makes people think that it is night.If what is the most appropriate way to describe this canyon, Yang Jing and Ge Ge think that "a line of sky" is the most appropriate.
"Boss, this canyon is about 1.5 kilometers long, the widest part is seven meters wide, the narrowest part is only about two meters, and the average height of the cliffs on both sides is over 90 meters!" Explain to Yang Jing and Grid.
After walking for about 15 minutes, the canyon in front of me suddenly became brighter. The canyon expanded from a narrow width of a few meters to a width of more than 20 meters. On the mountain wall to the west of the canyon, a huge temple appeared in front of everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Al-Khazneh Temple, one of the Seven Wonders of the New World!" Leah said excitedly, and what appeared in front of everyone was a temple built from the mountain wall. It is more than 40 meters high, and it looks particularly tall and majestic against the backdrop of this narrow canyon.
This is a temple with a typical ancient Roman Corinthian style. It is divided into upper and lower floors. The beams and door eaves are carved with fine patterns, which has a typical late ancient Greek architectural style.The bottom floor is supported by six stone pillars with a diameter of about [-] meters, and the upper floor has six semicircular stone pillars carved out of the mountain wall. In the three stone niches in the middle of the stone pillars, there are stone statues of angels, the Virgin and warriors with wings. The image is extremely realistic.
"The Temple of Khazneh is 42 meters high and 27 meters wide. It is the largest building in the entire ancient city of Petra. This temple is said to be a treasure house used by the Nabataeans to store a large number of treasures looted from Egypt, so it is called It is called the Treasure of Khazneh. Of course, this temple is also the tomb of the Nabataean king and the temple where the Nabataeans used to worship the goddess of fertility in Egyptian mythology. However, there is another legend about this temple. A very wide fairy tale, do you know what it is?" Liya asked with a smile, "Oh, I can remind you that the fairy tale comes from the Arabian folk story machine "Arabian Nights."
A group of people shook their heads after thinking for a long time.
Leah laughed happily, "You should have heard the story of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves", right?"
Everyone nodded in unison like children.
"This Khazneh Temple is actually the treasure house in the story of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" that can only be opened with the password 'Open Sesame'."
"Really?" Gege asked in surprise, and then the girl asked teasingly: "Then if I say 'Open Sesame', will this place open?"
Liya's face suddenly became bitter, "Sophia, this is just a legend. But don't you think this temple looks familiar?"
When Leah said this, many people nodded, and the head of the bodyguard, Morris, smiled and said, "I seem to have seen it in some movie."
Leah snapped her fingers excitedly and said, "That's right. In fact, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3: Raiders of the Lost Ark" starring Harrison Ford was filmed here. Spielberg's brain was big enough back then. Yes, it actually said that there is a Holy Grail hidden in the Khazneh Temple Oh yes, Michael Bay's "Transformers 2" was also filmed here."
When Leah said this, everyone suddenly realized.Even Yang Jing kept nodding his head, no wonder he felt familiar when he saw this temple just now, it turned out that the two famous movies were filmed here. The impression of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" is a bit unclear, but Yang Jing of "Transformers 2" remembers it very clearly.The tomb of the ancient leader of the Autobots seems to be in this temple.
But whether it's Spielberg or Michael Bay, this brain hole is big enough!
The group stayed here for about an hour before walking out along the Xike Mountain Gorge.However, after returning to the small city of Wadi Musa, Yang Jing and the others did not return to Amman, the capital of Jordan, but went south along the 35th kilometer. Less than [-] kilometers to the south is Wadi Rah, another famous tourist destination in Jordan. Mu Desert, that desert also has a beautiful name called Moon Valley.
The reason for going there is also due to Leah.In her words, it is to go to that place where you can feel the loneliness and desolation of the moon on the earth, and that place is the place on the earth that most resembles the surface of the moon.
This reason is very good and powerful, even Yang Jing is curious how this place can feel the desolation and loneliness of the moon?So a group of people rushed there directly, and stayed in Lumu, the largest town in Moon Valley.
Early the next morning, a group of people drove further, and the further they went, the more desolate and lonely the smell became.This is a typical pure sand desert. At first glance, apart from the slightly red desert, there are all kinds of weathered mountains.
"People were active here more than 2000 years ago." Liya sat in the co-pilot seat and turned her head to explain to Yang Jing and Gege, "Bedouins were active in this area at that time. There are still Bedouins here. The built temple is a bit far away, and it is not as spectacular as the ancient city of Petra, so let’s not go there. Oh, by the way, the movie "Lawrence of Arabia", which won the Oscar for best picture, is here Shot."
After a tour, everyone's interest was a little bit low.To be honest, this place is really too desolate, so desolate that even though the scenery is really beautiful, it gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Yang Jing asked Liya: "This place is indeed quite desolate and lonely, but if you want to say that this place is the most like the moon, I don't agree."
Leah asked strangely: "Boss, isn't the desolation and loneliness here like the surface of the moon?"
"Hehe, it's really desolate and lonely here, but the color here doesn't want to be the surface of the moon. I've watched many movies and TV shows that the surface of the moon is dead and silent, and the color is also that dead blue-gray. But Look here, where is the blue-grey? And there are those weathered peaks, I think this is more like the surface of Mars than the surface of the moon."
Morris on the side laughed loudly, "Haha, what the boss said is very correct. Leah, you said earlier that this is the filming location of the movie "Lawrence of Arabia", but what I'm afraid you don't know is that Matt. The "The Martian" played by Damon, the area of Mars where Matt Damon, who grows potatoes on Mars in the movie, is actually in the desert where we are standing now. So the boss said here Like Mars, I applaud with my hands up!"
"Really?" Yang Jing asked in surprise.
"That's right, boss, this is indeed the main filming location for The Martian, right in the Moon Valley at our feet!"
It is estimated that Leah really didn't know about this news, so she was also said to be dumbfounded.
Grid simply took out his mobile phone, intending to check if what Morris said was true, but there was no signal here, and it really was a lonely group.
In fact, Yang Jing felt right, and what Morris said was right. When the great director Ridley Scott was filming "The Martian", the first choice for the filming location was Australia. As a result, the Australian local government I disagree. In the end, Ridley had no choice but to choose the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan, which is known as the Rose Desert. After the film was shot, the effect was amazing.
Therefore, this desert is actually the most similar place to Mars, not the moon.
