Goddess will bless Uruk

"Anyway, certain things, I will not allow it to happen."

"For now, let's focus on the immediate thing."

I am also looking forward to the civilization that grows beside the Nile and also has a long history.

.

"Then, let's set off now, Lord Sally."

The envoy said to me, at this time I have come to the waiting team outside the city.

"Let's go."

After I finished speaking, I got into the carriage.

"Can the belief born in the yellow sand answer some of my questions?"

I sat in the carriage, stretched out my right hand, looked at the exquisite bracelet and said

.

It has been a few days since Sariye left Uruk.

The people of Uruk seem to be back to their normal life.

At this time, God's Domain located above the sky.

A woman looked at Humbaba's figure reflected in the picture, walking leisurely outside Uruk.

Looking at the huge figure of Humbaba, the peasants who were working still felt a little fear in their hearts, but since King Gilgamesh had already announced that, there was nothing to be afraid of.

The woman looked at the farmers who were working in the picture, and didn't care about Humbaba at all.The woman trembled, then turned the screen and looked at the main hall of the throne.

Gilgamesh sat on the top of the hall, while Enkidu and Siduri stood aside, seeming to be talking.

The woman trembled all over and said,

"why?"

"why?"

"Why does everyone look like they don't care?"

"Humans are fine too! So is the king of Uruk!"

"Even the colleagues in God's Domain, whether it is the sun god, the wind and rain god..."

"Even that bitch Ishtar!"

"How can you pretend that it never happened, and only know that you are with that slutty slut in the temple at night!"

"How could this be? I'm not reconciled!" The woman said tremblingly

Then, a thought suddenly came up in her heart, and this thought would also lead her into a catastrophe.

However, no one would notice why this idea suddenly appeared in her heart.

Because, that's the nature of it.

Chapter 23 023 The Civilization of the Nile River

Sally sat on the carriage, looking at the scenery along the way.

After coming out of Uruk, most of them are grasslands, and after walking for a long time, the grasslands began to turn into deserts along the way. This situation was not obvious when I just passed the river. There are many oases. In this ancient country full of yellow sand, these oases seem to be gifts from the gods.

And Sally Ye knew that the river they passed by was the birthplace of ancient Egyptian civilization, the Nile River.Just like the Yellow River and Yangtze River in an eastern country, the significance of the Nile River to the Egyptian people is self-evident.

When Sariye passed the Nile River, various scattered villages began to appear one after another along the way.

Sally saw all kinds of people in the village. Most of them wrapped their lower bodies with just cloth. Even the passers-by on some streets wore very simple clothes, and there were many people who were even naked, regardless of men and women. Not to mention the slaves bought by people with slightly higher status.

Seeing this, Sally Yeh couldn't help feeling

"I can't imagine if I was born at the bottom of society in this country, would I still be able to survive?"

Along the way, Sariye also gradually felt the changes in the weather. At first, when she was still in Uruk, the weather was relatively comfortable. Unlike the Arabian Peninsula in later generations, today’s Uruk is still dominated by grasslands. Forests can also be seen everywhere, although this part is also due to the fact that the Age of Gods has not died out and has the protection of the gods.

And in Africa, after crossing the Nile River, Sally Yeh gradually felt that the weather was getting hotter. Although she could also use magic power to block this feeling, she didn't want to do so at the moment.

The destination of Sally Yeh's trip is located in the south of the Nile Delta, the current capital of ancient Egypt, the political and economic center, Memphis.

Memphis is not far from the Nile River, and Sally Yeh was on the carriage, with her excellent eyesight, she could see the densely populated capital city from a distance.

However, the current Memphis is not surrounded by the famous Giza Pyramids known as one of the seven wonders of ancient times, because the current ancient Egypt is still in the period when the fourth dynasty just opened, and the Great Pharaoh Hu The period when the husband's father, Sneferu, had just ascended the throne.

This is the purpose of Sally Yeh's trip.

When Sally Ye and her party arrived at the foot of the city of Memphis, Sally Ye saw the soldiers defending the city from the carriage. Those soldiers wore simple helmets on their heads and belts on their lower bodies.Unlike Uruk soldiers wearing armor, ancient Egyptian soldiers seem to be able to wear more armor only if they are of high status.

"Please inform the name of those who come." The soldier stopped Sally Ye and his party and said

"We are ordered by the pharaoh to bring distinguished guests from afar to attend the succession ceremony of the pharaoh who will choose another day. How dare you stop him?" The envoy in front got out of the car and said

After hearing this, the soldier quickly knelt down and said

"I am blind, so please forgive me, Lord Priest."

Sally noticed the situation ahead, then got out of the carriage and said

"They are also thinking about the safety of the city, so don't blame them."

"Since the distinguished guests say so, then don't worry about their behavior." The messenger said

Sally walked up to the kneeling soldiers

"Get up, you are also thinking about the safety of Pharaoh, and you have fulfilled your responsibility."

Sally Yeh stretched out her right hand, trying to pull him up, and said.

The soldier didn't intend to get Sally to get up, and said

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness." After speaking, the soldier stood up without looking up at Sally Yeh.

Sally was stunned for a moment, and then she was relieved that there were still many taboos between men and women in ancient Egypt. If it wasn't because of her special status, she would definitely not have been able to participate in the Pharaoh's succession ceremony.

Sally Yeh didn't say anything, she turned her head and said to the messenger

"Let's go."

"Oh, yes, Lord Sally."

The messenger froze for a moment when he saw Sally Yeh's outstretched plain white right hand. He was not attracted by Sally Yeh's fair skin, but noticed that Sally Yeh was wearing it on her right hand. The snake-shaped pattern on the plate is carved with exquisite patterns, and there is also a bracelet with an eagle head.

The envoy noticed this, because he is also a priest himself. Although his status is not high, he still recognizes the pattern. It can be said that he is very familiar with it. It is the god they believe in, the symbol of the great God Ra. .

The messenger really couldn't figure out why Sariye, who was a priest in Uruk in the distance, would wear such a luxurious gold bracelet with the symbol of Ra on her hand.Because, in ancient Egypt, such luxurious and significant ornaments were usually only eligible to be worn by pharaohs and high priests.

The messenger decided to inform the pharaoh Sneferu of this strange occurrence.

.

Sally got into the carriage and looked at the scene in the city of Memphis. I have to say that the city is relatively prosperous, with all kinds of goods and shops, and the people living in the city are not like those outside the city. The clothes are simple and crude, although the men still only wrap their bodies in cloth, and occasionally there are relatively well-dressed ones.

As for women, there are all kinds of women, some with skirts wrapped around their lower bodies, and ornaments on their upper bodies and heads;Or simply wear a belt around the waist, and there are many people who are even naked.

Sally sighed

"It's really a civilization that reveals an ancient atmosphere."

Although Sally knew that clothes were more of a symbol of status than body covering for the ancient Egyptians, but when she saw them, she still couldn't help being moved.

Sitting in the carriage, as the carriage drove, Sally saw the Pharaoh's palace in the distance.

Different from the royal city of Uruk, the royal city of Uruk connects the ground and the high hall with towering stairs, because the Uruk people believe that the stairs are the passage to the gods.

In the distance, in the palace, Sally saw the tall walls on both sides, and two stone lion statues stood on both sides of the door.As for what is further inside, Sally Yeh is currently unable to see clearly due to the obstruction of her vision.

Sally and her party gradually came to the gate of the palace.

"We are ordered by Pharaoh to bring messengers from far away to participate in the ceremony of choosing a day. Please inform me." The messenger said

At this time, Sally noticed that the soldiers guarding the palace wore more armor than the soldiers outside Memphis. They also wore strange dog-headed helmets, machetes in their hands, and wooden shield.

"Presumably, this is the Forbidden Army of the Royal City." Sally Yeh thought

"Yes, my lord priest." The soldier responded and left.

After a while, the soldier turned back, knelt down on one knee and said

"Pharaoh welcomes you all."

"Let's go." The messenger said to Sally

Sally then got out of the carriage, looked at the lion statues on both sides, then at the guards, and then said

"Let's go."

At this time, Sally had already untied the outer robe, revealing the white backless dress inside, because she didn't know whether wearing that robe would make Pharaoh unhappy. In other people's territory, Sally Yeh still didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

At this time, the messenger noticed the bracelet on Sally Yeh's right hand again, and said nothing, just said

"Come with me, and I will take the distinguished guests to meet Pharaoh."

Sally followed the messenger into the palace.

On the road to the palace, Sally Yeh finally saw the scene inside the palace. Behind the door inside was a row of stone pillars. Several stone pillars stood on both sides of the road, and two stone lions stood beside the door. The stone pillars were surrounded by a wide atrium.After Sally walked through the next door, it was the same vast atrium, but without the stone pillars, it became a square.

Sally Yeh looked ahead, there was another door ahead, and the same stone lion beside the door.Sally followed the messenger into the front door, looking around, Sally finally saw the royal city, the walls were not luxuriously decorated, but several vertical stripes showed the solemnity of the royal city, and the sides were no longer There are only two stone lions, but a row of stone lions are located on both sides of the square.

There were also more soldiers guarding the square.And at the end of the square, there is a staircase, and in front of the staircase is the huge wall that Sally saw.

Sally followed the messenger all the way into the royal city.

After entering the royal city, Sally saw the palace in the distance, Sally could not help thinking

"The palace here is really huge."

Walking into the palace, there are also towering stone pillars on both sides, and in front of the stone pillars, behind the gate, is the pharaoh's hall.

However, after finally getting here, Sally Yeh became entangled in her heart.

"Should I kneel down to Pharaoh?" Sally thought

Did Sally Yeh kneel before when she was in Uruk?

The answer is that no one has had it except father and mother.Even Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, didn't have it, although the people and Siduri knew very well why he, as the deputy priest, didn't kneel to the king.Even during the sacrificial offerings, Sally Yeh mostly stood.All of Uruk, except for Enkidu, but Enkidu still came according to the etiquette when offering sacrifices, but Sariye was different. No one had the right to make her kneel except her father and mother.

At this time, Sally Yeh was extremely entangled in her heart. If sister Ishtar came, she would definitely say

"It's just a lowly mortal who dares to make this goddess kneel down. Do you not want to live?"

Sister Ishtar will definitely say that, but after all, she has just obtained the priesthood not long ago, so she is not as famous as Sister Ishtar.

While thinking, Sariye followed the messenger ahead to the pharaoh's seat.

At this time, Sally was still lingering on the question of whether to kneel or not. She didn't notice it for a while, and she had already walked in front of the Pharaoh's seat before she knew it. Sally raised her head and looked forward.

Sally looked forward, it was a woman wearing a long white hat that covered all her hair, wearing a white robe with a belt, shoes decorated with lapis lazuli on her feet, and a Numerous necklaces and jewelry, made of lapis lazuli, emerald, gold and silver, etc., a man with a slender beard on his chin, decorated with ornaments, bronze skin on his upper body, and green makeup around his eyes .

This man is no longer in his twenties, he is approaching middle age.

Sariye knew that he was the father of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Sneferu, the great pharaoh Khufu.

The messenger in front stepped forward, then knelt down and knelt down, saying

"Great Pharaoh, please allow me to pay you sincere respect..."

The pharaoh sitting on it looked at the kneeling priest and nodded, as if he was extremely satisfied. At this moment, pharaoh Sneferu turned his head and looked at Sally Ye who was standing behind...

Sally thought for a while, and had the answer in her heart

"I am the daughter of God Anu first, the god who protects all the people of Uruk, and the deputy priest of Uruk second."

"As a representative of the Sumerian pantheon, I cannot kneel down to the pharaoh, no matter whether Sneferu recognizes it or not!"

Thinking about it this way, Sally Yeh said

"Honorable Pharaoh, I, Sariye, on behalf of our great God Anu, extend my sincere greetings to you and the great God Ra!" Sariye said without kneeling or bowing her head.

At this time, the pharaoh remained silent, and the man standing beside him, who seemed to be a high priest, had gradually turned dark eyes.Seeing Sally Yeh's behavior, the rest of the people standing on the main hall also began to talk about it.

After Sariye finished speaking, she just looked at the pharaoh and the high priest in front of her. Pharaoh Sneferu was also looking at Sariye.Finally, the high priest next to him spoke

"Bold, you don't kneel down when you see our great pharaoh, rude stranger!" said the high priest
