I found in one of the tombs an inscription saying, 'If you touch my tomb, you will be eaten by a crocodile and hippopotamus.' It doesn't mean the hippo will eat you, it means the person really wanted his tomb to be protected.

我在一座坟墓里发现了一段铭文,上面写着:“如果你触摸我的坟墓,你将被鳄鱼和河马吃掉。”“这并不意味着河马会吃掉你,这意味着那个人真的想保护他的坟墓。
