I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 225 Civilization and Nation

Although the Egyptian sun shines, it will eventually set.

Night fell as promised.

They camped near the pyramids, and Ramses II wanted to understand the current power structure of the world before making plans.

There is a hall on the middle floor inside the temple. On both sides of the hall are ancient Egyptian murals. In the middle of the hall is a promenade surrounded by round and thick stone pillars. The middle of the stone pillars is wrapped in gold. hieroglyphs.

Whether it is the West or the East, they like to use large columns in the palace. On the one hand, it is supportive, and the round and thick support columns also give people a sense of atmosphere.

At the end of the hall, there are two upward stairs. On both sides of the stairs are two magnificent statues of gods, and at the top of the stairs is a throne.

People standing in the hall can only look up at the person sitting on the throne.

At this moment, Ramses II was sitting on the throne, with his elbow resting on the armrest of the throne, his right hand resting on the back of his right face, quietly looking down at Theodore below.

He was lowering his head at the moment, telling Ramses II about the pattern of the world.

Simon and the others were also here. They originally planned to leave, but they were left behind by Ramses. He asked them to tell him the history after his death.

After a while, Ramses II said calmly.

"So, Egypt now, is ruled by this Turkish Empire called the Ottoman Empire, right?"

"Yes." Theodore nodded and said, "However, their control over Egypt is not strong, or they have never cared about Egypt, and have always allowed the Egyptians to develop freely.

The Ottomans in Egypt are actually just over 1.

And now they are attracted by Beichen, so if you want to regain your territory, it should be very easy with your ability. "

Ramses II did not answer, but looked into the distance and murmured softly.

"If you count from Macedonia, the ancient Egyptian civilization has perished for nearly 2000 years."

The high priest Eliton standing beside Laer was silent for a moment and said, "This is what we guessed at the beginning. After the disappearance of the gods, the decline of Egypt is inevitable."

Theodore, who was standing at the bottom, couldn't help raising his head and looked at Ramses II. After a moment of silence, he said.

"Lord Pharaoh, if you rule Egypt, what do you plan to do with the Arabs in Egypt?"

Ramses II lowered his eyes and stared at Theodore below, and he hooked the corners of his mouth.

"I take back my previous opinion. You really look like a king in this way."

Theodore lowered his eyes and said nothing, as if he was waiting for his answer. After a while, he continued.

"You may not know. Now Egypt. Most of them are Arabs"

When he said these words, his heart was actually ready for the person in front of him to be angry.

But what he didn't expect was that instead of showing anger, Ramses II slowly raised the corners of his mouth and asked him a question.

"Do you think ancient Egypt was a nation or a civilization?"

Theodore fell silent, he didn't understand these things.

"I do not know."

"You don't understand the difference between civilization and nation, do you?" Laer continued to ask.

Theodore nodded.

And La Er explained very patiently.

"The so-called civilization is the sum total of the humanistic spirit and inventions accumulated in all human history with writing as the carrier.

Such as literature, art, education, and science, civilization covers the relationship between people, people and society, and people and nature.

It is a manifestation of the high development of human beings.

Civilization, on the other hand, is passed on by the blood connection of the nation.

but"

Ramses II paused, then continued.

"Is a nation formed because of civilization, or is civilization formed because of a nation?"

Seeing that Theodore was still silent, Ramses II did not continue to play riddles, but said.

"The two are interrelated. A nation is a collective formed by using a unified language and a unified culture, that is to say, it becomes a nation because of civilization.

But civilization is also created by such a group of people who use a unified language, and civilization is formed because of the nation.

But in other words, words and the culture they form are the key.

But this thing is not a living body, that is to say, any intelligent life can become its carrier.

If there is such a foreign race that uses the language and culture of another civilization, is it a member of this race? "

There was a little confusion in Theodore's eyes, but soon, Ramses II said something that made him feel that his world view collapsed.

"If, I say, most of your blood comes from the ancient Egyptians, would you believe it?"

Theodore's pupils contracted slightly.

"The ancient Egyptians have always existed." Ramses II said calmly, "It's just that during the 1000 years that he was continuously occupied, it was also the 1000 years that the ancient Egyptians in this land were continuously Arabized.

They no longer consider themselves ancient Egyptians, but Arabs.

The ancient Egyptians actually had blood ties with the Arabs.

Putting the perspective on the whole world, back to tens of millions of years ago, people may still have a common ancestor.

Therefore, blood relationship is actually not as important as you think.

The basis for judging whether a civilization exists is words and culture.

As long as a human being is willing to learn Egyptian culture and Egyptian writing, then he is an Egyptian. "

There are actually not many Egyptians capable of fighting in the Reed Plain, but the most valuable thing for these people is their systematic knowledge of ancient Egyptian civilization.

These people are the fire of civilization.

Ramses II looked at Theodore.

"Do you understand it?"

Theodore's eyes were a little lost. In this era dominated by nationalism, these words of Ramses are undoubtedly ahead of schedule.

But Theodore couldn't deny that the existence in front of him really made sense.

His heart was trembling, and he didn't know if it was because of fear, or because he was shocked by the pattern that Ramses II showed when he said the last paragraph.

As the leader of the rebel army, he clearly knew the meaning behind these words.

If this concept can really be extended.

That's exactly what he said before.

Where the sun shines, where the yellow sand dances.

All Egypt!

He let out a long breath, and made the gesture of respect he had just learned to La Er, and called out that title.

"I see, Pharaoh."

The corner of La Er's mouth raised an imperceptible arc, "Back off."

He looked at Galante and the others beside him, "Let me chat with these friends from foreign countries."

Theodore nodded, and he turned his head and walked away from the palace. However, compared to the previous depression, he seemed to have figured out something, and he seemed to be in a slightly better mood.

He feels that his vision has been broadened a lot, and he has a different perspective on the world.

His grandfather said that the pharaohs in ancient Egypt were all descendants of gods and possessed the wisdom of gods. Thinking about it now, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Raji looked at Simon.

"Tell your emperor what happened in Egypt.

Then, tell him that if he wants to unify Germany, take back the southern lands.

Come and talk to us."

Simon and Galante left the palace, and he needed to go back quickly to tell the Kaiser about the changes in Egypt.

Galante intends to continue studying alchemy, which requires a certain amount of financial support, so he also chooses to go back with Simon.

It is undeniable that if alchemy can really refine the Philosopher's Stone, it can really prolong life, but he has no way to refine it now.

So in a sense, this can also give the Kaiser a reply.

Watching Simon's departure, Ramses II turned his head and looked not far away.

"Come out……"

Beside his throne, Shaar's figure slowly appeared.

"Mr. Merlin."

Eliden apparently recognized him too.

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at La Er, as if he had realized something, he suddenly turned his head to look at Shaar.

Next, Laer's words confirmed his guess.

"Using so much effort to pull Yu out of the long river of time." Laer looked at Shaar, "What is your purpose?"

"Is it a lot of effort?" Xia Ya raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't think so."

La Er was silent for a moment.

"You don't want to tell, do you?"

"Egyptian civilization is a very ancient civilization." Shaar said, "It's a pity that such a civilization just dissipated in the long river of history."

Shaar raised his eyebrows and made a frivolous nasal sound, as if he was thinking.

"If there is another reason, it is that I live very comfortably in Reedland."

"Just because of this?"

"Aren't these enough?"

La Er fell silent again, just as he had said to Elaine before.

Pull him out of the long river of time who has completely dissipated in the world.

This kind of power, even the gods can't do it.

The casualness of the person in front of him is an outrageous but reasonable answer.

It was a kind of freedom and freedom after possessing absolute power.

"Yu Neng feels that Yu is a bit different from the past." Laer said, "The current Yu may really be able to revive Egypt.

In any case, you are the benefactor of Egypt.

If in the future, what do you need to complete.

As long as Yu can do it, Yu can promise you. "

Shaar smiled, "Perhaps you will be really useful."

After a pause, he continued, "However... let's wait for you to restore Egypt first.

I am looking forward to the reappearance of a civilization called Egypt in this world.

Not a country called Egypt. "

Char took a step back.

"Then. Goodbye by fate."

Then, he slowly disappeared in place.

For a time, only Ramses II and Elaine were left in the entire palace.

Elaine came back to his senses, "Who the hell is he?"

"I don't know either." La Er murmured in a low voice, "However, what is certain is that in this era when the gods have long since disappeared, He is the one with absolute power.

How did he get into the Reed Field? "

"I don't know either." Elaine said confusedly, "They came in a group, and two of them found what I wanted to learn about ancient Egyptian writing and the Jade Record.

I don't want these things to disappear completely, so I teach them all.

And that person just now has been living in the village with a beautiful woman, and they really like Luweiyuan very much.

They are all living people, how they got in, I don't know. "

"It's easy for this kind of existence to enter the Reed Plain." La Er whispered softly, "Merlin? Maybe we can look up this name later.

But next."

La Er raised his head, quietly looking at the end of the palace.

"We have a lot to do."
