Return of the Mummy

Ankesanamen is already 19 years old. Girls at this age should be married.But now she is still alone, and she doesn't seem to have any special feelings for any opposite sex.

Generally speaking, there are still very few royal princesses who are not married.So gradually, rumors came out that the reason why Anksannamen didn't get married was to marry Tutankhamun in the future.

Looking at the girl who came here gracefully, Hollensieb felt that Cleopatra might not be as charming as her.

"Hey, the third sister is the one who wants to be the highest priestess, don't even think about it." The whispered words sounded in the ear, and Hollen Heeb looked at a young man who was very close to him with a smile: "Are you thinking about it?" What? Everyone has a love of beauty, it's just pure appreciation, it's so serious as you said."

Hollenhib was almost full, and General Nassim, that straightforward man, was wounded last year by a small battle that broke out on the border, triggering old ailments from the Syrian battlefield a few years ago.

Although there was no danger of his life in the end, after returning to Thebes, he played Tutankhamun directly and asked Horunhib to take over from him.

Power, who doesn't miss it?But Nassim could see in these years that Hollenhib was the real eagle.Instead of watching Hollenhib's achievements more and more and worrying that he will not be a general, he might as well sell Hollenhibb and His Majesty a favor - he has not been with his wife and children for many years.

In both public and private matters, Nassim felt that he should give Holunhib a wider sky—Nasim felt that everything Herunhib had done was worthy of being called a "general".

However, Hollenhib, who was "forced to be promoted", felt quite dangerous.Originally, this "deputy general" was still covered by his superiors. If the word in front of him was removed, the situation he faced would be completely different.

Hollenhib wasn't afraid, but he felt that to be worthy of someone else's "general", he had to make more achievements--the best is war, military exploits.

So it's not without reason that he was busy with Meisha's affairs during this time.

It is precisely because of the busy time during this period that the intersection with Tutankhamun has become more.He suddenly discovered one day that this young man, whom he had met since he was three years old, had grown up.

Tutankhamun's face has grown. Although the 15-year-old boy is still relatively beautiful, he will not be mistaken for a woman.

The narrow eyes outlined by the dark eye shadow carried a kind of heroic spirit and compelling momentum.

What makes Horunhib feel sad is that Tutankhamun's height suddenly jumped to about 1.8 meters.Coupled with his strong and tall figure and honey-colored skin, hum, this kid does not know how many hearts will be aroused for him!

Holuncib absolutely refuses to admit it, because the other party is about to look down on his resentment now—I think that Herunxib has "looking down" on the little pharaoh for more than ten years. Is it possible that such days will end so soon?

He missed that little pharaoh who was 1.6 meters 19 in history very much... that was already 15 years old, and he was only that tall.This one is only [-] years old, so strong.

Milk and exercise can really do wonders?

"No matter when we meet each other, I feel that His Majesty and Horunhib have a really good relationship." Ankesana smiled lightly, and sat on a large chair beside her.

Although there was a stack of drawings by Hollenhib next to it, she didn't read it at all. First, she basically couldn't understand it, and second, she didn't want to have anything to do with these military affairs.

It is said that the women in the Egyptian royal family all have the desire to control. First, my grandmother Tai, and then my mother, Nefertiti... I was taught by my mother since I was a child, how can I have no ambition when I bleed half of her blood? ?

But...Anksanamen peeled a pomegranate herself, but didn't eat it.But... this younger brother of mine is not a grandfather who needs help, nor is he a father who is not interested in political affairs.

This younger brother of mine is too scary.

Ankesanamen recalled the day when his grandmother was buried, his calm and unwavering eyes, and the shadowy look in his mother's eyes later... Even thinking about it now, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.Not to mention that in the first few days, when she dreamed back at midnight, she was so frightened that she almost screamed.

That... that trembling look in the eyes, Ankesana thought that no one saw it except herself.But it was precisely because of this that she felt terrible—could it be, could it be that her younger brother deliberately let her see it, so as to warn her not to take the wrong step... so as not to follow in the footsteps of her grandmother?

That kind is not the end of life, but... unknowingly, the footsteps of being harvested by the god Anubis...

What comforted Anksanamen was that he had put a lot of thought into the temple from the very beginning.The knowledge she learned in the "House of Life" broadened her horizons.The usual trip to Lower Egypt also made her feel that power is not necessarily the most important thing.

So Anksannamen was not at all excited when she heard the words about the "hypothetical marriage" between herself and Tutankhamun.

Although she didn't know why, the woman in Anksanna's intuition told her that perhaps Tutankhamun would rather choose a foreign princess as his concubine than marry himself.

In the past, she always felt that this was an insult—she wanted to be beautiful and beautiful, and she wanted wisdom and wisdom.It's impossible for my younger brother to only like that kind of woman with big breasts and no brains.

That's why she felt aggrieved.

Until a few years ago, she accidentally discovered that Tutankhamun was ordering someone to be punished...

The bloody scene at that time and the expressionless expression on Tutankhamun's face made her shudder.Later, she couldn't help but secretly went to investigate the punished person...

That was a woman, a woman who was unknowingly kidnapped from the general's mansion where Hollensheb was...

Later, she had been bathing and praying for a month before she slowly got rid of the miserable appearance of that woman.It stands to reason that for a priest like her, sometimes she doesn't feel anything about living sacrifices.But at that time she was afraid...

Perhaps, it was because at that time that Tutankhamun said "he can treat you as ordered and let you go, but I always hate people who dare to provoke me" was too dark...

"His Royal Highness Anksanna...His Royal Highness Anksanna?" The gentle voice recalled Anksanna's far-sighted thoughts. She raised her head and saw the gentle and elegant boy who was like the moon god Kongsu① .

"Your... pomegranate?" Horunhib reminded cautiously, for fear of embarrassing this beautiful and elegant princess.

Anksanamen looked down and saw that her fingertips were covered with sticky pomegranate juice.He exclaimed in a low voice, took the warm handkerchief from the maid's hand and wiped it clean, then sat upright and said, "Ah, I almost forgot to tell you something."

"What's wrong?" Tutankhamun raised his head.

"Fleet!" Ankesana said expectantly.

"fleet?"

"It's the fleet, the fleet that was sent out last year," Horunhib suddenly realized, "Speaking of which, it should be back this time, right?"

"Yes, yes, there was news some time ago, saying that you will be back soon?" Ankesana said with a dissatisfied expression of "have you all forgotten?", "I just heard that It’s about to enter the port. As a pharaoh, why don’t you go and have a look?”

This time the fleet consisted mainly of merchant ships.For ancient Egypt, the spices, ivory, and ebony wood from Bonte, as well as the giraffe skin and leopard skin worn by priests, were all the rare treasures they sought.

"That's right, you don't want to go hunting anyway, and the pyramids are nothing to see now. Let's go and see what the fleet brought back... Maybe we can find other things?"

Tutankhamun believed that Horunhib hardly left the house during this period, and stayed in the room every day to write and draw.Originally, the skin was fairer than the fair skin of ordinary Egyptians, but inactivity and exercise are not good for the body.

When they came to the port, the big ship just stopped between two huge stone pillars with beautifully painted statues.The slaves were all busy, but they carefully carried boxes of goods.

In addition to the previous spices, ivory, ebony, etc., there are also boxes of lapis lazuli, malachite, turquoise, lapis lazuli, etc.

There is also large-scale timber-who said that Egypt lacks timber and needs to import large quantities from Lebanon and Nubia?

But apart from that, what Tutankhamun cared most about was the people, a team of Egyptians.

To be precise, it was a team sent by Tutankhamun.

Long before Tutankhamun died in his last life, he realized that Egypt needed reform.In addition to the internal aspects of Egypt, there are also external aspects of Egypt.

Egypt's geographical location is actually very suitable for trade. To put it bluntly, according to Egypt, which is a hub in Asia and Africa, it is responsible for the trade intermediary between Asia and Africa.In addition, Egypt is based on agriculture as the pillar, supplemented by handicrafts.

It should have been the most tradeable country in the world.

However, apart from importing other materials such as wood, spices, and ivory, none of the Egyptian pharaohs thought of sending people to other places to investigate and find species suitable for Egypt, instead of relying solely on imports.

Even, you can sail a little further.Perhaps, as Hollenhib said, "there are people beyond the human race", maybe some distant countries have more rare things?

You know, generally speaking, when Egypt trades with other countries, most of them use grain and gold.However, now we have to hoard food for future wars, so we can no longer exchange more food.

It would be great if you can get food that is more convenient to grow, or learn some knowledge from other countries.

That was what Tutankhamun cared about, and Horunhib thought about something else.

He looked at the tall plank boats, built of cedar or fir.

Handed down from the time of Queen Hatshepsut, the ship has a large mast amidships and is a single mast.There is a very long beam at the top and bottom, and a large sail, which is estimated to be used to rotate freely to adapt to ships driven by different wind directions.

The length is about 30 meters, but in Hollenhib's eyes, this kind of ship is far from enough to provide Egypt's powerful naval support.

The most important thing is that Egypt has no specialized naval warfare technology.

During this period of time, although Hollenhib has also trained soldiers... mainly to become soldiers of the navy, he has not let them practice in actual combat once.

To be more precise, Hollenhib has not even boarded such a ship-in the way of training the navy.

Hollenhib can sail a boat—but it's steel and mechanized, and besides that, he can do canoes and things like that.If he wants to think about the construction drawings of the ship, it may be a bit confusing.

However, he can make comments.I hope that old Saruman won't be bored to death by that time - after all, the ship is to be used for naval warfare, so don't be careless.

Horunhib hadn't thought about the expedition for the time being, and Egypt didn't even fully understand it, so it would be ridiculous to think about other things.It's just that the inevitable war with the Hittites also includes maritime hegemony.

It's a pity that although ancient Egypt had ships and a navy very early, in fact, until the New Kingdom period, the naval battles with the enemy mainly relied on the land corps accompanying the ship.

Therefore, it is best to consider whether there are redundant ships first, and you can conduct naval drills on the water first.Anyway, the usual training includes swimming, and those who fall into the water cannot be drowned.

Horunhib, who was using the noisy voice in his ear as the background, suddenly felt his hand tighten. He turned his head and looked at Tutankhamun, who had already put on a somewhat reckless and proud smile on his face.

Following his line of sight, Horunhib also immediately showed a gentle and indifferent smile - no wonder the little pharaoh changed his face so quickly.Isn't it the Queen Mother Nefertiti who came with a smile at the corner of her mouth?

There is no one who is the most powerful woman in Egypt now.

The author has something to say: ①Uh...I would never say that the mother of the moon god Kongsu is the mother of the war goddess Mut...and the god Amon is his father, but the god Amon is the endorsement of the pharaoh... Hmm... So Holunhib and Tutankhamun, on the other hand, are father and son?Puff... By the way, I didn't remember until I finished writing... Cover your face, let's have fun

②The specific location of Bonte has not been determined so far. Some historians say it is located in today's Sudan, some say it is in Eritrea, and some say it is in Somalia.

Little Pharaoh, what did the Abu Nai reveal to the couple?Enough laughing!
