One hundred twenty-three
The project of designing a game is a way to pass time, but what about this game? Let me tell you something that we modern people really don’t like to hear. Now games have become the most important part of our lives. Of course, I am one of them.
, I have used games as my spiritual support and have been degenerate for many, many years. But I don’t think games are not fun, I just think this life is too short. However, the game projects invented by our ancestors are different from the online games we have today.
Get up and take a look.
In order to enrich their lives, our ancestors designed many games, such as hunting, bird hunting, fishing, acrobatics, performances, wrestling, fencing, bullfighting, and even weightlifting. But when it comes to weightlifting, this
It is similar to our modern weightlifting, except that the items used to lift weights are different. The items used by our ancestors to lift weights were sandbags.
Moreover, the development of games is also very rapid. Finally, a chess game was invented called Senet chess. Soon this type of chess game became popular throughout Egypt. Senet chess is actually somewhat similar to
The difference between the checkers that we modern people play today is that the Senet board has a total of thirty small squares, divided into three columns, and the chess pieces are divided into cylindrical and conical shapes. Before playing chess, the player
Draw a lucky symbol on each chess square, and then each player holds a kind of chess piece. First, arrange the chess pieces on top of each other, then move the chess pieces forward with your fingers, and try to prevent the opponent's chess pieces from moving towards your side.
This kind of Senet chess has rules. The chess pieces can only move forward and cannot retreat until they all move to the top of the opponent. The first one to arrive wins. And each step of this kind of chess pieces will be exchanged for different forms of blessings.
After all there are lucky symbols, so competition comes second and friendship comes first!
Next, let’s talk about the drinking culture of our ancestors. At this time, our ancestors had learned how to brew wine, but it was not the highly distilled liquor we have today, but beer! And there was a proverb in the ancestors’ era: In the water
What you see is only your own face, but in the wine you can see the garden in your heart. From here, it is not difficult to see that our ancestors were full of poetic love for wine. And beer played a very important role in the era of our ancestors.
Whether they are nobles or commoners, entertaining friends and relatives during festivals, or enjoying the afternoon sunshine while drinking beer, is a very comfortable thing.
Of course, we have already talked here, and this is a systematic understanding of the power of maritime trade, because what has changed is that all trade can reach places, not just limited to the Egyptian ancestors, it can be said that Phoenicia
Human navigation technology has indeed changed the vast and seemingly small world of our planet. In addition to driving the economy, it has also driven the advancement of knowledge inheritance in all aspects, and even the advancement of science and technology.
Why do we say that trade can also drive technological progress? For example, we can define navigation technology and even shipbuilding technology as technology. The Phoenician ships have gone through many improvements before they became very mature. This is
The scientific and technological knowledge collected from multiple places is summed up and then fully displayed.
Next, let's analyze another seemingly inhumane drawback of this navigation technology. To say that this is a drawback of trade caused by navigation technology is rather to say that it is an expression of the expansion of our human desires and ambitions.
We have talked before about the Pharaohs of Egypt. After learning that the Phoenicians could sail, they also began to develop their own navigation technology. Of course, the structure of these ships and other such things were learned from the Phoenicians.
It can also be said to be a comprehensive reflection of the ship technology in many places. In short, judging from the current situation, the Pharaoh's fleet is very powerful. After all, the country's wealth means that they have sufficient conditions.
The fleet formed by the Pharaoh was not simply for trade. Another maritime hegemony was the dream of countless high-ranking officials in the empire. After all, a lot of gold and silver treasures could be obtained from this kind of trade, and even other resources they needed. However, some high-ranking officials
Many people don’t think so. Let’s take an example:
For example, now we are holding a gun and pointing it at another person. This person has a thousand dollars in his pocket, and what are we doing? In fact, we are robbing, so this person says he is willing to use eight hundred dollars now.
Money buys his own life, let us let him live.
We must absolutely believe that many people are kind, so this means that many people are willing to accept this condition. After all, who doesn’t love money, right? But some people don’t think so, such as myself.
I don’t think so. My idea is very simple, beat him to death! Why? This is actually not difficult to understand. If I charge him 800 yuan and let him go, God knows whether he will file a complaint. This snake, insect, rat, and ant will do it.
As for holding a grudge, not to mention that this is a living person, so eliminate him! And there is another advantage of eliminating him, that is, I can get one thousand yuan instead of eight hundred yuan. This is very important.
, some people may say that I did this without considering future development. In fact, this is not the case. We are robbing! It is robbing, not doing business!
But now that we have reached this point, we have to say that in fact, doing business is a disguised robbery, buying at a low price and then selling at a high price. This is actually similar to the essence of robbery, but all of us
People are willing to accept doing business because this method is relatively mild. It is not like the robbery we discussed before, where you kill a person with one bullet and then make another thousand yuan. This model is obviously super risky and hugely profitable!
Okay, now back to our previous topic, there is actually a reason why the Pharaohs and even other high-level officials in other empires would not want to do business with them. The reason is that the distance is too far, and the other is the issue of men’s ambitions. As for this
The issue of ambition is actually related to the social system of slavery. For high-level people like Pharaoh, these Phoenician resources, or in other words, the people who created these resources in the distance, should be ruled by him and only for him.
Creating wealth is slavery. So what should you do to enslave the other party?
In fact, in our day and age, there are actually quite a variety of ways to enslave each other, but the essence of all methods is money! It is to use money to enslave more labor forces and create wealth for them. This is like everything on our planet.
Workers are actually enslaved by money and create wealth for their bosses, but we think this is reasonable, and bosses are generally smarter and will try their best to find loopholes in the law and try to give us the least remuneration.
Then create more wealth for him. According to my way of thinking, let me tell you something that people don’t like to hear, but I am also a part-time worker myself, and I am also a janitor, haha.
What I want to say that people don’t like to hear is: In fact, all our current workers are slaves. In ancient times, slaves lived like this. They worked day and night and could not earn any wealth. It was the kind of life that slaves had at that time. Brands are the brands we use now that have evolved. The concept is the same, but they have accepted the progress of civilized society. This has even led all of our slaves today to think that working is the only thing we can and can do in this life. things to come.
Now that we have talked about the topic to this point, we can understand the thoughts of our ancestors, the Pharaohs, and other high-level officials. Although the Pharaohs were very willing to enslave many people and create wealth for themselves, the magic of money in this era , it is not as powerful as our modern age. Today we can say that we are all slaves to money, and whoever has money is a god. In fact, this sentence is not an exaggeration at all.
But in the era of the Pharaoh ancestors, the penetrating power and even the magic power of money were really not that strong. After all, there were more people who believed in gods. But in front of gods, in fact, these things like money seemed to be incompetent. What special meaning does it have? Therefore, if you want to use money to enslave these people who believe in gods, it will definitely not work. So what should you do if it doesn't work?
In fact, everyone should have understood at this point that since the concept of money does not work, then the only option is to attack! That is to say, kill them and then rob their wealth. We must clearly understand that among the ancestors of this era, There is no saying that it is illegal to kill an outsider. It is legal because there is no such rule at all. It is like an Egyptian suddenly killing a dozen Phoenicians. This is not illegal. , and the most important thing is that in the "Code of Hammurabi", there is no provision saying that Phoenicians cannot be killed, so everything is legal. It can also be said that this era itself has great influence on the empire and the empire. In other words, it is just a concept of the weak and the strong.
So a war can break out at any time, as long as the other party is found, as long as the other party is worth attacking. Then we will talk about the horrific wars caused by cultural exchanges!
First, let’s understand the specific reasons. For example, the cuneiform writing used by the Egyptians has gone through countless years of improvement before it finally took shape. The Phoenicians, the pioneers of navigation, actually did not have decent writing at all, but the Phoenicians The Nikes saw the cuneiform writing in Egypt, so they created a relatively complete writing system after they returned.
This writing system was to show that the Phoenicians were very smart, so they did not learn the Egyptian cuneiform script, but just borrowed a concept. What the Phoenicians created at that time was twenty-two letters, and they eventually improved it. Today, these are the twenty-six letters that almost everyone in the world knows. In fact, many countries in Europe and the United States today all use alphabetic writing systems. In addition, the Chinese today also use letters, such as Pinyin, this Pinyin The prototype of it came from the Phoenicians, and the Phoenicians were influenced by the concept of Egyptian cuneiform writing.
