I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 291 I Want to Establish a Millennium Dynasty
Memphis was one of the most important cities in ancient Egypt.

Starting from the third dynasty of Egypt 700 years ago, Memphis was once the capital of several Egyptian dynasties.

The patron saint of the city of Memphis is Ptah, the god of fire and craftsmen.

Because the city of Memphis used to be the capital of several dynasties, Pta, the patron saint of Memphis city, was naturally regarded as the protector of the country by these dynasties, possessing a lofty status above the gods.

So in the myths fabricated by the priests of Puta, the powerful goddess who became neighbors with Puta-Sekhmet, the patron saint of Itawi City who once became the queen of the gods, became Puta's wife.

Nefertum, the plant god of Memphis, became the child of Ptah and Sekhmet.

Ptah, Sekhmet, and Nefertum were also combined into the three pillars of Memphis, corresponding to the combination of the three pillars of Amon, Mut, and Kongs in Thebes.

If the myths invented by the priests of Ptah were merely blasphemy against the goddess Sekhmet, that would not be a problem.

Because Itawei City only became the capital during the No.12 and No.13 dynasties.

Now the city of Itawi has long been weakened, and the goddess Sekhmet no longer has the powerful authority of the queen of the gods.

But in the myths fabricated by the priests of Puta, the nine-yuan god headed by Atum, the eight-yuan god headed by Amon and other gods have become the descendants of Puta.

To put it bluntly, the myths fabricated by the priests of Ptah blasphemed all the patron saints of the city-states in Egypt.

If Nafier wiped out the priests and nobles of Memphis under the instigation of Roy, and drove Puta down from the seat of the patron saint of Memphis, it would definitely make other city-states applaud.

Thinking of the food that could be seized from the priests and nobles of Memphis, Nafer said to Roy.

"I can use the name of blasphemy to the god Amon to destroy the priests and nobles of Memphis and drive Ptah from the throne. But you can't let me deal with the priests and nobles of other city-states and the gods they serve, because there are not enough If I deal with priests and nobles for the same reasons, I will be hostile to priests and nobles in all city-states."

The target of boiling frogs in warm water can only be frogs.

Human beings are not frogs waiting to die. If Nafir does something that hurts the priests and nobles or even abolishes the patron saint without sufficient reason, all the priests and nobles in the city-state will regard her as an enemy like Roy and support her with all their strength Her brother Ahmose destroyed her public enemy.

After listening to Nafel's words, Roy said with a smile.

"Nafeel! Of course I will not let you deal with the priests and nobles of other city-states, but if other city-states support our enemy Ahmose, then we will have sufficient reasons to deal with them. The city-states that are our enemies, we Destroying the priests and nobles there, abolishing the patron saint there can also deter other city-states so that they dare not become enemies with you."

"you--"

Nafel looked at Roy suspiciously and said.

"Couldn't you—are you trying to use me to complete the goal of destroying priests and nobles and the patron saints they serve?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"I did this to increase the cities that you can directly control. Don't you think that eliminating priests and nobles is beneficial to the rule of your pharaoh family?"

The priests and nobles in various city-states are the targets that the pharaoh's family should eradicate. This is a fact that history has proven.

In the history of another world, Pharaoh Amenhotep IV of the No.18 dynasty who abolished all the priests, nobles and patron saints of Egypt was the descendant of Nafer more than 200 years later.

Nafir did not reject Roy's proposal to eliminate the priests and nobles, but readily accepted the reasons given by Roy, also because she knew that the priests and nobles were an obstacle to the Pharaoh's family's control of power. As long as the reasons were found, the priests and nobles should be eliminated, and the The patron saint they serve.

Before the establishment of the third dynasty of Egypt, whether it was the ruling class or the common people of Egypt, they would be buried in a rectangular tomb made of mud bricks after death, which the ancient Egyptians called "Mastaba".

Later, when a little nobleman named Imhotep designed the tomb of Pharaoh Djoser, he invented a brand-new construction method—square stones were transported from the mountain instead of mud bricks, and they were constantly modified. The design plan of the mausoleum was finally built into a six-level trapezoidal square cone.

This is the prototype of the pyramid.

The custom of building pyramids began to prevail in the third dynasty, and in the fourth dynasty, the pharaohs pursued more magnificent tombs.

The pyramid of Khufu, the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty, is the most astonishing in volume. It is known as the Great Pyramid and is more than 150 meters high.

In the south of the Great Pyramid is the Sphinx built by Pharaoh Khafre, the son of Khufu. The body is like a reclining lion, about 83 meters long and 23 meters high.

Three thousand and six hundred years later, the giant pyramid near the city of Memphis is known as one of the seven wonders of the world.

These pharaohs built magnificent pyramids, perhaps hoping to achieve immortality after death, or even become gods.

But there is only one human being who is related to the pyramids, and that is Imhotep who invented the pyramids.

When Imhotep was alive, he was favored by the pharaoh and became a powerful prime minister.

After Imhotep's death, he was gradually deified as the god of medicine and the patron saint of the pyramids.

When Nafir's [-] army approached the city of Memphis, the ancient Pharaoh's pyramids and the Sphinx and other buildings appeared in the sight of Roy and Nafir.

Looking at the big pyramids that are more majestic than the other, Nafier couldn't help but said.

"I should build an equally majestic pyramid for Brother Kamose."

Hearing Nafel's words, Roy couldn't help complaining.

"Do you want the dynasty you rule to become a one-man dynasty? The ancient third dynasty invented the pyramid, but the third dynasty only existed for 73 years. If you count from the time when Pharaoh Djoser built the first pyramid, the third dynasty Only 50 years. The Fourth Dynasty was more powerful than the Third Dynasty and only existed for 110 years.”

"What's wrong with that?"

Nafer looked at Roy suspiciously and said.

"From the first dynasty to the present, most dynasties can only exist for about a hundred years. Do you still want to establish a millennium dynasty that exists for hundreds of years—or even thousands of years?"

"That's right!"

Roy nodded without hesitation.

"I just want to use a perfect system to establish a thousand-year dynasty so that people in the future don't have to go through wars as often as people in the past."

"you--"

Roy has such an incredible goal, Nafir said, looking at Roy with a smile.

"You are such a strange man. No wonder Brother Kamos wants me to be with you. For the sake of our children and grandchildren, I am willing to work with you to establish a thousand-year dynasty with the most perfect system."

After finishing speaking, Nafiel threw himself into Roy's arms.

Just when Roy's whole body was stiff and he didn't know how to react, Nafel continued.

"When I defeat Brother Ahmose and become the female pharaoh of Thebes, we two will get married!"
