Zaigazig is a city located in the northeast of Cairo. As the capital of a province, Zaigazig should not be considered a small city. However, compared with Cairo, an international metropolis with a population of more than 20 million, Zaigazig, which has a population of only 200,000, it seems to be too far apart. In China, it is equivalent to a county-level city at most.

The city is located in the fertile Nile Delta, with a canal flowing through the city. The unique conditions make it a major agricultural and trade center in Egypt. In addition, Zaigazig University is quite famous in Egypt and even in the Middle East.

However, for foreigners, few people know this inconspicuous small city. Even if the city has an important museum, it is difficult to attract tourists to visit this city specifically. After all, if you want to see cultural relics in Egypt, there are too many choices.

About 3 kilometers southeast of Zaigazig, there is a wasteland filled with rocks. Even if an uninformed person drives by this wasteland, he will probably not stop deliberately. He will only regard this place as a place for construction waste.

However, this wilderness covered with grass was one of the most sacred and prosperous places in Egypt two to three thousand years ago. At that time, the city was not called Zaigazig, but Bubastis.

This wasteland is the ruins of the Best Temple.

During the Ptolemaic dynasty, Bubastis was the greatest festival in Egypt every year, no doubt about it.

As the festival approached, more than 700,000 pilgrims flocked to Bubastis from all over Egypt and even abroad to participate in this grand carnival, offering sacrifices to Best devoutly, begging for the blessing of the goddess.

It is said that wine consumption during the Bubastis festival exceeds the total amount of drinking in other times of the year in Egypt.

When other countries had just established their own civilization, Bubastis, two thousand to three thousand years ago, was already a city that never sleeps without sleep, and even today's Paris, New York, and Tokyo are hard to beat.

In the morning after the carnival, the streets were filled with drunken men, but the warm temperature and the protection of Goddess Best made them not at risk of freezing to death.

After sobering up, the people left with satisfaction. The next year they would still arrive on time and once again join the carnival all night.

The prosperity has faded, and the Bubastis has disappeared into the long river of history, and the once extremely glorious Best Temple has turned into rubble.

Including lunch, I drove on the bumpy roads in Egypt for two or three hours. It was already afternoon when Zhang Zi'an drove here, and the sun became gentle and no longer so hot.

A thousand-year-old breeze blows through the ruins, and the weeds are undulating like waves. A corner of the house is exposed between the leaves of the palm trees and date palm trees in the distance, and the sound of insects is increasingly setting off the silence here.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zi'an couldn't help but think of the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. As the pinnacle of human garden art, the Old Summer Palace, known as the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens, was also destroyed by the invasion and war of foreign races.

Fina got out of the car alone and slowly walked to a square stone, which seemed to be a broken stone pillar.

Its front paw gently brushes across the surface of the stone pillar, feeling the undulating touch.

The carving traces can be vaguely seen on the stone pillars, but the content of the carving has been unrecognizable after thousands of years of wind and sun exposure, and its archaeological value is almost zero. It is more like a tombstone of the Best Temple, which can only make people pay tribute to the glory here and its current decline.

The other elves thought this was just an ordinary wasteland. After listening to Zhang Zi'an's whisper, they understood the extraordinary past here and the special significance of this place to Fina.

They stopped far away on the edge of the ruins, because at this time Fina must want to be alone.

This is Fina's temple.

This is Fina's home.

It finally went home.

"It's a sin..." Lao Cha shook his head sadly, "The struggle between humans has destroyed so many great works of art... Just judging by the scale of this ruins, the area and luxury of the Best Temple back then may be comparable to that of the imperial palace."

Zhang Zi'an nodded, "According to records, the Best Temple is a square with four sides equal to a square, each side is equivalent to an open-air stadium, and the width of the main sacrificial road that runs through the temple is 120 meters, which is equivalent to the widest position of Chang'an Street. I believe this record is basically correct, otherwise it would not be possible to accommodate 700,000 pilgrims in this area."

The elves were even more shocked when they heard this.

They have all been to the capital and watched the flag-raising ceremony on Chang'an Street. They still remember the magnificent street freshly, but they never expected that two or three thousand years ago, there was a main sacrificial road in the Best Temple that was comparable to Chang'an Street.

Zhang Zi'an continued: "Not only that, the layout of the Best Temple is extremely gorgeous and exquisite. The ancient Egyptians led two canals from the rivers running through Bubastis. Each canal is more than 30 meters wide. One on the left and one on the right surrounds the Best Temple, but they are not connected to each other. Only the entrance is available for access. This temple is built completely according to the standards of building a city. The temple gate is as high as 20 meters and is also carved with a 3-meter-high relief. When passing through the door, under the gaze of the relief, people can feel their own insignificance and humility and the greatness of Best."

Just by judging these numbers, they can feel how grand the Best Temple was back then.

And such a great temple is actually Fina's home!

Every elves were deeply shocked.

"Gaga! If I am used to living in such a luxurious palace, and if I go to your small and broken pet shop, I will definitely feel that life is worse than death!" Richard patted Zhang Zi'an's head with his wings sympathetically.

"It's okay, you can't stop or die." He glared at it.

"Gaga! I think it's better to live than to die!" Richard shouted shamelessly.

No wonder Fina always complains about pet shops and is also dissatisfied with food and daily life. Sometimes they think Fina is a bit too picky, but in fact, if anyone is in Fina's position, he is used to living in the most luxurious palace in the world, eating the most delicious food in the world, and suddenly being thrown into a civilian family. The treatment is like a natural gap. Everyone will feel that life is not as good as death. It is possible that he will be depressed when he is discouraged, just like the children of wealthy families who fell into ancient families.

Fina tried to adapt to the civilian life of the pet shop just by just a few complaints. It would never be possible without an extremely strong will.

Today, it has returned to the temple after two thousand years, and how ups and downs have it in its heart?
