Harry Potter Morning Light

Baboons are not native to Egypt. It is said that the Egyptians once made expeditions to the south of the Nile River and the "Land of Pent", most likely in what is now East Africa or the Arabian Peninsula, and then the Egyptians brought this unseen magical animal to Egypt. Carry out captivity.

They should have failed to domesticate baboons, otherwise people would keep baboons as pets now, and cats are all domesticated, although they may think that human homes are their own territory.

Baboons are also social animals. Their territories are often left by their ancestors. Naturally, some have abundant water and fruit, while others lack water and drought. Therefore, conflicts will inevitably arise in order to compete for better territories.

Baboons practice polygamy, and the family foundation is not solid. Often a few baboons hug each other, and most male baboons can only watch from the side.

So those single baboons compete for dominance and mating rights at every opportunity, driving the group into chaos.

However, in most cases they are still very restrained, because everyone does not want to suffer injuries in battle.

There are many carnivores around the baboons' territory, such as hyenas and cheetahs. These beasts are always watching the baboon group and will kill injured or sick baboons whenever they have the opportunity.

Before fighting, baboons will evaluate the risks and benefits, which allows them to stay rational and give up some insignificant interests to avoid fighting. For example, if you throw a peanut in front of a male baboon, it will pick it up and eat it immediately. If you throw a peanut between two male baboons of equal status, they will turn a blind eye. It's not worth fighting over peanuts.

Minerva liked Quidditch very much, but Albus wasn't really that keen on it. He preferred a game of ninepin, but unfortunately he had no one to play with. He occasionally went to Quidditch matches.

What are boys trying so hard at Quidditch for? This is probably only they themselves know. To some people Quidditch is the peanut that is placed in front of two baboons, and violence is not necessary for it.

Similarly, women are also peanuts to some people. Isn't it stupid to fight for women?

The king and the upper-class male nobles are those male baboons who hug each other. They don't know how many young single male baboons are at the bottom. They plan to overthrow them and replace them with hugs.

Older baboons lose their wives and concubines when they can't beat younger baboons, and not only that, they lose their social status. Grooming each other is Feifei's gesture of friendliness. Generally, after a new baboon king is born, in order to consolidate his status, the baboon king will take the initiative to groom the low-status female and male baboons.

The baboon king only grooms other baboons symbolically, while the low-status baboons always try their best to groom the baboon king, so the baboon king's hair is always smooth and smooth, which can be seen at a glance.

When danger occurs, the male protects from behind, threatening, roaring, and even fighting back, while the female baboons and cubs will take the opportunity to escape.

At the same time, there is also a hierarchy among female baboons. Female baboons who like to communicate give birth to and raise children with a particularly high survival rate.

Like humans, they have no fixed breeding season, have wars and disputes like humans, and like to communicate like humans, but they know restraint better than humans. This feature makes them worshiped by the Egyptians to represent wisdom.

Sun King Louis XIV is an autocratic and totalitarian king. Although he likes to have fun, he is the only one who enjoys it. After he dies, everyone can really relax.

The aristocrats do nothing else, just talk about love. Louis XIV reigned for seventy-two years. At first, his mistress was a dancer from a humble background, and later there were some women who were not well-known. There are discussions everywhere in the streets and alleys of Paris, which beautiful woman the king has an affair with, even if she used to be the wife of a certain nobleman, who would dare to touch her after becoming the king's woman?

All the beautiful women felt that they had a chance, so they dressed themselves up beautifully, and tried every means to get in front of the king, hoping that they could be favored. The ball was the best "social" occasion.

The men who participated in the ball were not fools, they consciously stayed away from those women who had other purposes. They will be ambiguous with married women, because the husbands of noble ladies are also with other wives, or "social stars" like La Traviata.

Rousseau's favorite woman, Madame de Warens, was married. Aristocratic couples play their own way, and marriage is just a formality.

Under the pen of Maupassant, duels became popular in France in the 17th and 18th centuries. Duels are first and foremost for women, and cheated husbands and jealous lovers die because they cannot tolerate hurt pride. The second is public insults and publicity. Judicial duels are used to resolve litigation disputes. On the contrary, there are specialized people engaged in this profession.

People in that era often dueled over small things, talked a little louder, overwhelmed each other, stepped on others without saying sorry, made a wrong look, and even dueled for nothing.

When the duelists showed up at the rendezvous at dawn, they were at peace, and the "shame" could only be removed by bloodshed.

The king forbade the duel from taking place, but to little effect.

Enlightenment philosophers theoretically denounced the motives and reasons for dueling, made people a little more rational, and made dueling lose most of its charm.

Duels after the Revolution often made headlines, and slander in newspapers could also make the parties angry and lead to duels.

When duels became a publicity stunt, the newspapers were buzzing, no one was killed or injured, the crowd became uninterested, and even the pushy ones turned away from duels, and dueling was considered illegal.

Pomona disliked the Prohibition of Dueling Law introduced by the British Ministry of Magic, and she disliked the Anti-Werewolf Law even more.

She also doesn't like to patronize the French nobles who are in love, the fool Rohart is enough.

Therefore, she is not interested in the gorgeous jewelry of the Egyptians, especially after seeing the baboon sculpture, she wants to see the Egyptians' understanding of life, death and soul.

It's a pity that she can't understand the hieroglyphs of the Egyptians, and she can't understand the steles displayed in the Louvre.

She was in the same mood at the moment, very angry, with the feeling that a thief entered the treasure house but returned empty-handed.

Except for the Pensieve, they didn't encounter any obvious treasures that they could recognize at a glance in the Egyptian Pavilion. After all, such opportunities are still rare. Like the intact tombs of ancient Egyptian nobles who narrowly escaped treasure hunts by tomb robbers, foreign explorers, and native officials.

Naturally, there is no bracelet of the Scorpion King.

There was no point in continuing to stay in the Egyptian Pavilion, so the two illiterates left the Syria Pavilion.

Severus' expression was quite calm, but Pomona remembered the experience of being treated as someone who only ate and didn't work in XZ more than 20 years ago.

Maybe time will make us forget love and hate, but embarrassing and shameful memories will always pop up from time to time, allowing the owner of the memory to relive the feeling of that moment.

"I want to learn pictographs..."

"You don't even know your Greek well." Severus interrupted her rhetoric coldly.

She grabbed Severus' arm and howled unwillingly.

But who told her to be uneducated.

Even if you miss it, you have to admit it.
