Return of the Mummy

Ancient Egypt has worshiped gods since ancient times, whether it is natural phenomena such as the sun, river, night, rain, wind, or animals such as crocodiles, elephants, cats, scorpions, eagles, and snakes, or even benches, houses, death, and even a Small stones may be named after gods.

For example, "Ra", the god of the sun, "Su", the god of wind, "Geb", the god of the earth, "Olisis", the god of agriculture, "Seth", the god of war, and "Mut", the goddess of war, etc.— —Of course, whether it will be recognized by everyone is another matter.

Under the influence of this environment, many things have become a matter of course.In fact, ancient Egypt was more enlightened in some respects than it is in modern times—for example, the attitude towards the disabled.

All Egyptians believed that the Creator created everything—including, of course, dwarves, two-headed babies, and conjoined twins.Even some of these people can serve in the royal family, the reason is that Pharaoh has a sense of satisfaction when he sees these strange people created by God serving him.

Of course, in this culture that reveres gods too much, there are also many people who use the guise of gods to cheat in various ways. This kind of people, once they succeed, it’s okay, but if they fail...the crime of blasphemy is not something ordinary people can bear of.

But when Hollenhib saw the so-called Goddess, his first thought was—either she was really "God", or she was pretending to be "level" and pretending to be "style".

The appearance of the ancient Egyptians is very distinctive: tall stature, black hair, low forehead, dense eyelashes, black eyes, straight nose, wide face, broad shoulders, dark skin, and strong physique.Of course, this is the standard for most people, and it doesn't have to be completely in line.

Just like Holunhib and Tutanktun, although they are still children and have not opened their mouths, it is obvious that their foreheads are not low, and their faces are not very wide, especially Holunhib, Following the appearance of his mother Toho Iris, the contours of the face are very soft.

And this "Goddess", oh yes, is a girl called "Kayad Midani" - wearing a plain white linen pleated skirt, wearing a square scarf of the same color on her head, and outlined with a thin belt A soft waist.She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a petite figure and smooth skin, and light golden hair.The eyebrows are not glamorous, at least they are more ordinary than those Hellenshib has seen, but they are very handsome, giving people a charming feeling.

Although Horunhib is qualified to come and see this "goddess", he can't speak casually on such an occasion, not even Tutankaton can say anything.So he just stood behind the little Highness, and from time to time, he would cast his eyes on the girl standing in the middle of the hall with a calm demeanor.

After a while, Mayi's voice sounded, and Horunhib bowed down along with the crowd to welcome Pharaoh Akhnaton.From the corner of the eye, I saw Kaiyadmidani in a graceful posture—well, even if she is a so-called "goddess", don't she have to salute the Pharaoh?

Withdrawing his gaze, Holunhib began to quickly look through his mind to see if there was such a "goddess" in the history of ancient Egypt that he remembered.

Akhenaten sat on the pure gold seat inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pearl, covered with luxurious and soft animal skins, and habitually swept down, his eyes stopped at Tutankatun: "Tutankatun Swallow my son, why are you here?"

Because he had always doted on Tutankaton, his tone didn't mean to blame him, it was just a simple question.

"Father, I heard that there is a 'Goddess' coming here! I have never seen a Goddess since I was a child, Father, Father, I want to see if it is okay?"

Hearing Tutankhatun's tone of voice and secretly seeing Tutankhatun's expression, Horunhib was glad that he kept his head buried, otherwise he would really have slapped his face—as expected of a royal child , with this attitude, who can tell which domineering little Highness is it?

"Oh? You are also curious... Hahaha, Ayi, listen to what my youngest son said, he is only six years old! What did you say from childhood to adulthood..." Now that Pharaoh laughed, the people below were amused to accompany him Laughing, but the other party was Tutankatun, so whether they thought it was funny or not, they all had to twitch their mouths.

"That's all, since you want to see it so much, let's watch it together. Come here, you are not as tall as your brother, I am afraid you can't see clearly when you stand there..." Ekhnaten waved in the direction of Tutankaton , saw the quiet profile of Hollen Heeb, paused, and added, "Hellen Heeb, come here too."

Horunhib didn't think there was any surprise at all, not to mention Tutankatun's vague and doubtful gaze, even the gazes of the young people headed by His Royal Highness Smenka Rui made him feel a little bit sad to prickly.

Oh my God, who knows what's going on with this pharaoh?Disrespectfully slandered inwardly, Horunhib showed a stable yet slightly surprised expression: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Standing close behind Tutankhatun, Horunhib half-raised his head only to make sure he was out of Smenkhari's sight.At this moment, Ekhnaton, who was sitting on the throne, had already started asking about the "Goddess".

I don't know if it was intentional, but Ekhnaton seemed to have forgotten the girl in the middle of the hall who was still bowing on the ground, and just asked about her in a rigid manner.

As for that Kayademidani, because her cheeks were covered by the light-blond hair hanging down, only the square scarf on her head could be seen from the direction of Holunhib—although she was not completely crouched. .

But looking at the performance of Pharaoh Akhnaton, it seems that he doesn't care much about the existence of this "goddess"?

Although he was constantly thinking carefully in his heart, on the surface, Hollenhib still had an honest look.

In fact, Hollenhibb guessed half right.If it is normal, if a "goddess" appears, Akhnaton may be very happy; but at this time, although he may feel "happy", he will also feel vigilant.

You know, although he believes in gods, especially the God of Aten, in the current turbulent situation at home and abroad, the appearance of a "goddess" who is likely to make people think that she is "rescuing the suffering" is not a thing. happy thing.

The reason why Akhnaton wanted to abolish the existence and belief of Amon and other gods before was because he couldn't understand those so-called guys who did evil in the name of "god".Of course, it is unavoidable that one of the most important reasons is that he does not allow any existence beyond the "royal power".Even a god can only be used as a tool for oneself, not an existence that dominates oneself!

Therefore, this "Goddess", Ekhnaton intends to show her off and give her a blow.

The appearance of Kaiyadmidani was a few months ago. At that time, Ugarit, who maintained a blood relationship with Egypt, also betrayed Egypt after those small countries and defected to Hittite.

After that, although the Hittites continued to expand through Ugarit as a stronghold, the area from Lake Homs in the Oronte Valley to the west to the Amu Road area on the Phoenician coast was nominally owned by Egypt. all.

However, as the saying goes, everyone pushes the wall down, and the ruler of Amu Road is not a fuel-efficient lamp.Achilu, the king of Amulu, took advantage of the disintegration of Egypt's rule in Asia, and began to expand his territory outward.

On the one hand, he sent troops to assist Etakama against Amki and Ubbe, who were still loyal to Egypt, and on the other hand, he personally led the army to attack Tunip.The ruler of Tunip was in constant panic under the siege of Achilu's army, and finally chose to ask Egypt and Akhenaten for military assistance.

Some time ago, although Akhenaten suppressed the domestic turmoil monk group, it had little effect.Now that he has received Tunip's request for help again, he really wants to let go of Tunip's life and death.But Prime Minister Ayi couldn't bear it anymore, and gave him some suggestions in private.

Therefore, he was worrying about whether to send troops to fight - at this time, a delicate "Goddess" appeared, which really put him in a bad mood.

After asking the insider, Ekhnaton saw that the "goddess" had maintained that saluting posture for so long, and then said slowly: "...Kayadmidani, right? Look up, they It is said that you are a 'goddess', so what kind of 'divine power' do you have for me to see?"

Kaiyadmidani's whole body was going to be stiff. Hearing Pharaoh's words, she wanted to raise her head immediately, but she couldn't, she couldn't lose her style, so she had to grit her teeth and raise her head slowly with a soft voice : "Thanks to the blessing of the Goddess Isis, I can't say what's the 'divine power', and the 'Goddess' is actually not something I can afford, but for some things, the Goddess Isis is inconvenient to come, so I don't dislike me, take care of me with my body for the people she loves."

While talking, Kayademidani slowly raised her head, and slowly turned her eyes to Ekhnaton on the throne...

Hollenhib's eyes are very "venomous". From this angle, he saw the sudden stiff expression on Kayade Midani's face. Although it passed away in a flash, the corners of Hollenhib's lips curled up slightly. , thinking with some malicious intentions: Well, this "goddess" couldn't have been scared because she had never seen Pharaoh's face, right?

The author has something to say: ① Shazi doesn’t know what the ancient Egyptian pharaoh called himself, so he temporarily defines it as “I”, and it must not be “敏”, “维人” and “孤人” or something...

PS:

I'm sorry, sorry, everyone, Shazi's exam is only a week or two away. There are several subjects, all of which are mathematics and economics, so Shazi has to review his homework (for fear of failing...), everyone understands, I hope understandable...

Therefore, the update after Shasha is temporarily scheduled to be updated every other day. Of course, we can't let everyone be hungry.So although it is updated every other day, the number of words in each chapter will increase (although it will not be the number of words in two chapters QAQ), and the test is required, do you understand it, right?

Sand is here, thank you for your support in advance!
