one hundred thirty
The occurrence of this kind of thing first made other slave countries in the Egyptian Empire even more frightened, but with the arrival of these Phoenicians, some of the slaves still started private cultural exchanges with the local people, mainly
The Phoenicians brought two mythical stories.
One of the myths is: Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an island of Crete in the sea, ruled by a king named Minos. And Androgus, the son of Minos,
He was murdered by people from other countries when he was out participating in activities. In order to avenge his son, Minos sent troops to attack this country. Of course, God also punished this country. So far, the cities of this country are full of famines and disasters.
The plague killed a large number of people, and a large number of civilians were starved of food and clothing. The king of this place was forced to ask for peace from Minos, and Minos asked this country to make peace with Minos every nine years.
Crete sends seven pairs of young men and women.
But why did Minos ask this country to send young men and women? It turns out that Minos built a huge labyrinth on the island of Crete. The inside of the labyrinth was criss-crossed. Once you walked in, you didn't even think about coming out.
Inside the labyrinth, Minos raised a monster with a body and a bull's head, named the Minotaur. In fact, the seven pairs of young men and women sent by this country were given to the Minotaur for food, and this country also
It can be said that he was deeply affected by it.
Twenty-six years later, Minos sent people to this country to ask for tribute for the third time, which was seven pairs of young men and women. The young men and women and their parents would hold their heads and cry. The son of the king here saw that people suffered
Because of his misfortune, he asked to set off with these young men and women to Crete, determined to kill the Minoan cattle.
Amid the cries of the people in this country, the ship carrying the king's son and seven pairs of young men and women began to sail slowly towards Crete.
Before leaving, the king's son made an agreement with his father that if he killed the Minotaur, he would replace the black sails on the ship with white sails when he returned. Now the king's son led these seven pairs of young men and women to Minotaur.
When Minos was inspecting the palace, his daughter fell in love with the king's son at first sight, who was the princess of Crete. The princess dated the king's son and expressed her love to him and her willingness to help.
He killed the Minotaur and gave the king's son a magic sword with boundless magic power and a ball of string.
The king's son led the young men and women to enter the maze and tied one end of the ball of thread at the entrance of the maze. Then he took the ball of thread and unwound the thread as he walked through the winding corridors and entered the maze. At the deepest part of the maze,
There, the king's son discovered the Minotaur and had a fierce fight with it.
The king's son jumped up very quickly, grabbed the horns of the Minotaur in one hand, and held the magic sword given by the Princess of Crete in the other hand. He stabbed the Minotaur into the chest and killed it. Then the king's son led
Following the young men and women, they finally walked out of the maze along the lines they left behind.
But in order to prevent the pursuit of King Minos, they scuttled all the ships in Crete, and then returned on the sailboat they came from. The king's son wanted to return with the Cretan princess, but at this time the gods
The king's son was asked to give up his love, otherwise he would be punished.
The king's son had no choice but to leave the Cretan princess on the island. At this time, the king's son was immersed in sorrow. When he returned to his country, he forgot to change the black sails into white sails, so the king stood
He stared longingly on the cliff, waiting for the return of his son. When the king saw that the returning sailboat was still hung with black sails, he thought that his son had been eaten by the Minoan cattle, so he was so sad that he jumped into the sea and committed suicide.
.
Finally, in order to commemorate the Aegean king, people called the sea the Aegean Sea. And the Minoan cow killed by the king's son was raised to the sky by God and became the Taurus constellation in the winter night starry sky.
Another mythical story mainly describes the Phoenician princess: Legend has it that the Phoenician princess Europa was playing with a group of girls on a meadow full of flowers, and not far from the girls there was a herd of cows playing quietly.
Eating grass. Suddenly a big white bull came towards Princess Europa, and he docilely let Princess Europa ride on it.
Suddenly, the big white bull ran like flying and crossed the sea. And the next evening, it came to an island and stopped under a big tree. Europa jumped off the bull's back and suddenly saw a man.
The healthy man stood in front of her and proposed to her.
It turns out that this big white bull is the unconquerable god and the incarnation of Zeus. Europa became Zeus's wife and gave birth to several sons, so this land was also named after Europa.
In fact, this place is our modern Europe. The ancestors recorded this beautiful legend with lime reliefs.
Okay, we have learned about these two myths here, but according to our modern ideological point of view, this is a process of the Phoenicians conveying culture to the slaves of Egypt, and it is also the process of these two myths.
In this mythical story, the meaning of resistance is reflected many times, and it also reflects the pursuit of beautiful things.
This caused many slaves to suddenly have a relatively large impact on their originally empty-minded mindset of only working and being beaten. This indirectly made these slaves begin to have a desire for the big world in their hearts.
Go see the outside world instead of working here all your life, or just die here in the end.
Therefore, the spread of myths and stories became more and more widespread, which caused more slaves to begin to yearn for freedom, which produced a very serious chain reaction. In the end, it was also due to the various violent methods of the previous Pharaohs, and even very cruel and inhumane management methods.
, another slave rebellion broke out.
In fact, we have talked about slave revolts or civilian revolts many times before. It can be said that there are too many such things in our human history, but more often than not, these slaves or civilians are simply out of reach.
Any knowledge in the big world, so it can be said that they have always thought that they are existences like worker bees, and have never thought of resisting. They know that in the end, they will just die in the potholes under various huge buildings.
, but now the mythological stories brought by the Phoenicians are too beautiful and spread too fast, which breaks the original balance.
So this slave resistance led to the death of too many people, not only the death of slaves, but also the death of Egyptian soldiers to the point where they can be calculated in massive numbers, because this kind of resistance initially only happened in one place.
On the edge of the pyramid that was built, but among the slaves currently building the pyramid, there are not only people from the slave country, but also Egyptian civilians. This was originally what the previous Pharaoh meant, after all, the labor force was insufficient.
And these Egyptian civilians also joined the resistance, because they felt that the current Pharaoh was completely different from Thutmo. Tutmo was simply the real sun god in their hearts, and the current Pharaoh was simply a devil, and almost Egyptian
All the common people in the empire, and even the nobles, thought so. They believed that the pharaoh was not Tutmo's child at all, and that he had definitely obtained the position of pharaoh by deceiving the Sun God.
Therefore, the great rebellion this time was like a spark appearing on a very vast and extremely dry grassland.
The concept of starting a prairie fire.
Therefore, not only all the slave countries, under long-term oppression, always thought about how to overthrow the Egyptian Empire, but this time they have realized their wish. As for the Egyptian civilians and even the nobles, they all intended to restore the previous situation when Tutmo was in power.
It brought them a comfortable and happy life, so they also participated in this great rebellion.
Therefore, this rebellion turned into a very crazy and tragic scene in just a few days. The entire Egyptian Empire began to be in turmoil. It originally seemed powerful and always attacked other countries, but now because of
Due to many factors of its own, the corpses of civilians and even soldiers are everywhere. Even in places where corpses are densely packed, there is no place for living people to set foot. If you want to walk through, you must step on the corpses, and even some corpses are
It's a mess of flesh and blood. Anyway, the whole of Egypt has suddenly become chaotic!
The Pharaoh's army was retreating steadily and was unable to resist at all, because there were so many civilians in their Egyptian empire and even slaves in other slave countries that they seemed to be unable to kill them all.
So the civilians and slaves first destroyed part of the palace. The Pharaoh was trembling with fear. However, they did not kill the Pharaoh. Instead, they questioned the Pharaoh and asked him if he was a devil. The Pharaoh was definitely not Tutmo's child.
, but huge differences arose on this matter. Why?
Because the civilians of the Egyptian Empire and the slaves of the slave country have completely different goals in their resistance. The slaves want to completely break away from the rule of the Egyptian Empire, while the civilians of the Egyptian Empire just want to overthrow the current pharaoh, and then
Restore the happy life they had in Tutmore's time.
This kind of problem arose, which suddenly led to a quarrel between the people of the slave country and the civilians of the Egyptian Empire, and eventually they all started killing each other. But it seems that this kind of thing can only be explained clearly by killing people, right?
In short, when the Egyptian commoners and nobles joined together to kill the slaves of the slave country, the Pharaoh also ordered some of his remaining warriors to kill the Egyptian commoners, even the nobles, and the slaves of the slave country. Because
As far as the Pharaoh is concerned, whether they are Egyptian civilians, nobles, or slaves in the slave country, they are all rebels, so they all deserve to die.
So now things have become too complicated, and it seems that it has reached the point where it can't be solved at all. And the so-called resisters of Pharaoh, seeing that Pharaoh has done this kind of thing again, are ready to join forces and kill the demon Pharaoh first.
