Recommend a good book I read recently, A Journey to Civilization by Yu Xiansheng. On September 27th, 1999, Yu, Chen Luyu, and other Phoenix TV people set off from Greece, passing through Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal and other countries, and finally returned to China.

It lasted 13 1 day, without flying or taking the train. It was the rolling wheels of the jeep that took them through the journey of 40 thousand kilometers. They went to the four ancient civilizations, five civilizations and the cradles of the world's major religions, and made an unprecedented civilization inspection and pilgrimage.

The book A Journey to Civilization truly describes the original appearance, ups and downs of civilizations around the world as witnessed by Yu Xiansheng and his party.

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

There are countless essences in the book, and I share a few impressive fragments:

Egypt, the legend of Pharaoh. "The air in the grave is very dangerous. Pharaoh put some drugs and parasites in it. They said that if the thief went into the grave in the future, it deserved it. He deserved it. Therefore, the ancient tomb was sealed for more than 3,000 years, and few people went in, especially there were parasites inside. People should die within 1 minute. "

Israel, cry here. "According to Jewish custom, boys should hold a cheerful adult ceremony when they are 13 years old, so sacred wailing wall has become the best place. Not only Israeli Jews will often come to wailing wall, but thousands of Jews scattered around the world will also come to wailing wall to recite scriptures and pray as their greatest wish. "

Iraq, 1001 nights. "Years of oil embargo and economic blockade have made Iraq, once a rich country, desolate. There are few high-rise buildings in the city, and the architectural color is monotonous. However, some war-related buildings show the confidence of Iraqis, surrounded by green trees, tall and majestic, colorful parade squares and heroes' monuments are extraordinary. "

Morning bath in Ganges River, India. "Some people say that religious fanaticism can only be realized in India, but the morning bath on the Ganges River in varanasi has brought this religious fanaticism to an extreme. At dawn, you can see thousands of swimmers bathing in muddy water. What are you talking about in your mouth? Put your hands together and splash water and send water to bless you. Some people brush their teeth and wash their faces in the river empty-handed, and some are covered in soap and jump into the water at any time. "
