I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 248 Zeus, King of the Egyptian Temples

The oldest civilization is not the same as the most advanced civilization.

Just like the ancient civilizations in the East invented gunpowder, but were later smashed by foreign invaders with muskets and cannons.

Although the Egyptian region had entered the bronze civilization before 3000 BC, since the pharaohs of all dynasties were obsessed with building pyramids and tombs to deify themselves, and the priests and nobles were addicted to pleasure, it was doomed that the technology tree in the Egyptian region would only become more and more crooked. It can rely on wave after wave of foreign invaders to bring the oldest bronze civilization to develop more advanced.

Avaris City.

The city established by the nomads in the Phoenician region is the current capital of Egypt.

The nomadic peoples who now rule northern Egypt are known to the Egyptians as the Hyksos - foreign rulers.

This is not the exclusive name of the Egyptians for the Phoenician nomads.

Because as long as they are foreign rulers, whether they are nomads from Phoenicia in the east, Libyans in the west, or Nubians in the south, they can all be called Hyksos.

One version reads the Hyksos as shepherds or nomads.

But that still didn't turn the Hyksos into the exclusive domain of Phoenician nomads.

Because the Libyans and Nubians did not have a mother river like the Nile to turn them into farming peoples, they should also be nomadic peoples at that time.

The nomads from the Phoenician region are not a single ethnic group.

The No.15 dynasty of Egypt, which established its rule in Avaris, should be a nomadic people who worshiped the storm god Seth [Zeus]—perhaps they can now use the Hyksos as their exclusive title.

The Egyptian No.16 dynasty that established its rule in Tanis City, the sea people who worshiped Aphrodite-the Phoenicians across the Mediterranean Sea, and the Illuminati who worshiped the Almighty God are all allies of the Hyksos .

Beginning before 2000 BC, the Hyksos, Phoenicians, and Illuminati were nomadic peoples living in the southern Phoenician region on the eastern Mediterranean coast and the northern Syrian region.

The long-term nomadic life caused the food they obtained to be unable to support the ever-increasing population.

In order to survive, the Phoenicians on the coast transformed into a sea nation. They not only seized food and colonies from the backward civilizations of the Mediterranean, but also obtained various materials through maritime trade.

Aphrodite, the patron saint of the Phoenicians, was also in order to meet the safety needs of the Phoenicians for maritime navigation.

The Hyksos who worshiped Zeus still lived a nomadic life of constant migration, and finally launched an invasion of the Egyptian region with very backward military technology, and successfully conquered Northern Egypt, making Southern Egypt and Western Egypt nominally surrender.

The Illuminati, who worship Almighty God, also came to Egypt during this period.

In the mythology of the Guangming people in another world, their ancestors migrated to Egypt to escape the local famine.

Because the Illuminati were foreign conquerors who invaded Egypt together with the Hyksos, Egypt’s No.18 Dynasty conquered the entire territory of Egypt and the Phoenician region, and reduced the weaker Illuminati to slaves.

Later, in the mythology of the Guangming people, there was the story of their ancestors parting the Red Sea and leading them out of Egypt.

Roy and Ramses II rode two horses and rushed to the city of Avaris when night fell.

Before entering Avaris City, Roy was shocked by the huge scale of Avaris City.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Egypt, the combined population inside and outside the city of Avaris definitely exceeds [-].

This is the first city with a population of more than [-] that Roy has seen since he came to this era.

What shocked Roy even more was that there was a huge and resplendent temple floating above the city of Avaris.

Roy looked up at the temple, and he could see a throne of the god king in the depths of the temple. The supreme god king sitting on the throne had exactly the same face and posture as Zeus, the patron saint of the Mycenaeans.

Roy was not at all surprised by this, because regardless of whether the Hyksos god, the god-king above the Egyptian gods, now uses the name Seth or Zeus, he has the same name as the Mycenaeans. The patron saint of Zeus is the same pillar god.

Below the throne of the king of Seth [Zeus], ​​there are two rows of [-] gods, some of which stand tall gods, and some of them are empty.

Obviously, the gods that appeared in the temples were all subordinate gods who surrendered to God King Seth [Zeus]. For those empty thrones, their masters may have fallen or betrayed God King Seth [Zeus].

In the temple of God King Seth [Zeus], ​​Roy did not see the figure of goddess Aphrodite.

In another world, the myth of Zeus either makes Aphrodite the wife of Zeus, or makes Aphrodite the sister of Zeus, or makes Aphrodite the daughter of Zeus.

But after all, this is just a fabricated relationship in the myth of Zeus.

Tracing the origins of Zeus and Aphrodite back to 2000 BC, the Hyksos who worshiped Zeus were nomadic peoples, and the Phoenicians who worshiped Aphrodite were sea peoples.

The ethnic groups that worship Zeus and Aphrodite are different. Aphrodite is not a subordinate god of Zeus, and of course it is even less likely to be Zeus' wife, sister or daughter.

Because the Hyksos and the Phoenicians lived in the same area, and the Phoenicians were allies in the common rule of northern Egypt with the Hyksos, Aphrodite can be regarded as Zeus in a broad sense. sister gods.

Of course, these are relationships on a practical level.

Mythology is originally a story made up for boasting. Of course, the relationship between Zeus and Aphrodite can be fabricated arbitrarily in mythology.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens!"

Seeing Roy looking up at the sky above the city of Avaris, Ramses II said to Roy.

"His Majesty Kepheus entertains guests at the palace every night. We are going to the palace now, just in time for the banquet. If we waste time slowly, maybe we will only be able to eat the leftovers after the banquet."

"You can not see it?"

Seeing that Ramses II's eyes were not attracted by the pantheon above the city of Avaris at all, Roy said in surprise.

"Ramesses II, can't you see the temple above the city of Avaris?"

"The temple?"

Ramses II looked up at the sky above Avaris City in doubt, then smiled and said to Roy.

"Are you teasing me on purpose? I have never seen a temple that can fly in the sky. Perhaps only the temple where the gods live can fly in the sky."

"You really can't see it!"

After speaking, Roy rode his horse into Avaris City.

Ramses II followed Loy into the city of Avaris, and a pillar of the Sun God, shining brightly all over his body, descended immediately behind Ramses II, as if he was the patron saint of Ramses II.

"Ramesses II, do you have a patron saint in the Ramses family?"

Hearing Roy's question, Ramses II nodded and said.

"Our Ramses family has always served the great sun god Ra, so the sun god Ra is the patron saint of our family. I am the heir of the highest priest of the sun god Ra."
