Therefore, this resulted in the coastal areas of the New Empire being frequently harassed, and sometimes even being attacked by this group of Sea Peoples more than eight times in a day. What kind of frequency is this? So this matter made Xinjian

The supreme ruler of the empire was very worried.

Although if the new empire is strong, then these Phoenicians are no match for it. Although there are many Phoenicians, they will not get good supplies. However, the current new empire is indeed very weak.

, and the previous battle with the Egyptian Empire suffered such heavy losses, and now even building ships immediately to counterattack cannot turn the tide, because the speed of shipbuilding cannot keep up, and the Phoenicians cannot be allowed to land. If the Phoenicians are allowed to

If the base men came ashore, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So the supreme ruler of the new empire asked the Egyptian Pharaoh for help, but the Egyptian Pharaoh refused. The reason for the Pharaoh's refusal was very simple. He said that although the Egyptian Empire hated these Phoenicians very much, they wanted to skin them and beat them.

They cut off their tendons, cracked their bones, then ate their marrow, drank their blood, and even wanted to feed their meat to dogs, but the current military power of the Egyptian Empire did not allow this at all.

the occurrence of the situation.

How should we describe this matter? In fact, it is very simple. Because of the brutal struggle for hegemony a few months ago, the military power of the Egyptian Empire has indeed become extremely weak. Another Egyptian pharaoh has recently implemented more humane management measures.

, so the recovery of the Egyptian Empire was too slow. If a large-scale battle broke out with the Phoenicians at this time, the Egyptian Empire would surely be destroyed.

Indeed, the Pharaoh of Egypt rejected the new empire's request for help in this way, which ultimately led to the new empire wanting a country to resist the Phoenician attack.

On this day, a deputy general on the Phoenician ship told their general that the place they were attacking was not the Egyptian Empire at all, but a newly built empire. After hearing this, the general felt that this seemed to be his own mistake.

Therefore, they refused to admit that what they were attacking was the newly-established empire, but insisted that they were attacking the Egyptian Empire, and even killed the talkative lieutenant on the spot.

By now, this matter has reached a point where it can't be dealt with, and the Phoenicians are attacking the shores of the newly-established empire even more frantically every day, and then return to the Mediterranean area at night to rest on the ship.

However, the rulers of the new empire also understood that they must be careful at night and not allow the Phoenicians to actually land ashore. In this case, the consequences would be really disastrous. Therefore, the soldiers and even civilians of the entire new empire were

The shore is under 24-hour defense.

But the new empire itself was too weak in terms of national power, and was so weak that it could not compare with the Egyptian Empire. Because the new empire was originally a partnership of many slave countries, they did not have many resources. Although after several months of development,

But development is so slow that it is completely negligible.

The final result was that all the civilian soldiers and even the senior officials of the new empire were unable to mobilize more soldiers to defend the shore after a month, and on a dark and windy night, the Phoenicians were left in the dark.

Disembark.

Moreover, in the past month or so of the new empire, all civilians, senior officials, and even soldiers were in a state of high concentration, sleeping very little, so they were also very tired. In the end, this led to the Phenicia

People, let their very well-equipped warriors completely capture the New Empire in this night.

Then, the Phoenician general told all the Phoenician warriors: This place is the Egyptian Empire, which has a huge hatred against us Phoenicians, so they can rob and kill as they please, even if we don’t need to

They come as slaves.

This caused the Phoenician warriors to act as if they were completely possessed by demons. First they mercilessly killed the supreme ruler of the new empire, and then hollowed out his head and used it as a wine vessel.

Civilians carried out large-scale indiscriminate killings.

Although the civilians seem to have just been freed from the slave society after generations of efforts, they have not lived a good life for a few days, and suddenly they have suffered such a disaster again, so they are very

If you are unwilling to do so, you can say that the sky is not responding to you now, and the earth and the earth are not functioning properly.

So far, the civilians of the newly-established empire have resisted to the death. Unfortunately, the sophistication of their equipment is not at the same level as that of the Phoenicians. Therefore, almost all of them were slaughtered to death, and only a few civilians escaped.

He arrived here, but in the end his life and death were still unknown.

When we see this, we have to say that these civilian slaves are simply unjust! But who in our world is not unjust? They are the bad people that everyone today thinks of as bad people. They are also unjust in many ways, so in the end it is us.

That sentence: All living things, no one is unjust. But the common people of the new empire are indeed more wronged than ordinary people.

The newly built empire could be said to have been destroyed overnight, and then the Phoenicians actually burned down the newly built palace and completely looted everything in the newly built empire.

But the Phoenician general was not a fool. He knew that he was attacking the wrong place, because the other side of the river was the Egyptian Empire. He really knew it. So he robbed all the gold and silver treasures, and then some others.

The resources were put on the ship and returned to Phoenicia.

As for the Pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire, the Pharaoh killed the princesses of the previous new empire, saw the complete destruction of the new empire, and knew that the Phoenicians had fled here, so he added these lands to the Egyptian Empire.

Now the Egyptian Empire has a large amount of land, even more vast than before. It first collects the corpses everywhere on the land, burns the piles of corpses or digs pits to bury them, and then reclaims the wasteland, and even more

Send troops to guard this side. It can also be said that at this time, the Pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire seems to be the final big winner. It is just the victory of this battle. Perhaps only God knows how many people died in it, right? Of course, only

God knows how unjust the slaves in these slave countries were.

But at the end, the Pharaoh suddenly discovered that there were actually several places in the new empire that had not been attacked by the Phoenicians, but the Pharaoh did not attack because the current Pharaoh believed that their Egyptian empire should focus on development as its first purpose.

, and these remaining newly built empires can no longer become big, so the Pharaoh believes that after their national power becomes strong, he will let the remaining small places surrender. If they do not surrender, then he will kill them.

But what we want to say now is that in fact, among the remaining towns of the newly built empire, there is a mythical story circulating in one town, and it is carved on clay tablets. We can also imagine the birth of this mythical story.

For what purpose? I feel like the slaves wanted to complain to our human ancestors? So let’s take a look:

This is actually the first epic in our human history, called "Gilgamesh", and it is now recorded on clay tablets in cuneiform.

The hero of the epic, Gilgamesh, is a hero from the city of Uruk, which is our modern southern Iraq today. But the Gilgamesh in the mythical story is: two-thirds a god and one-third

He was a man. He was extremely powerful and caused trouble everywhere. Later, he became the ruler of the city of Uruk. He became even more arrogant, debauched and violent. The common people were miserable and complained to the gods one after another.

So the god sent Enki down to earth to subdue Gilgamesh. Enki was a half-man, half-beast savage who was covered in hair and lived on the grassland all day long with wild beasts. He was kind-hearted and often helped wild beasts escape from hunters.

.Later he heard about Gilgamesh and came to him for a duel.

At this point, the two started a fierce fight, and in the end they couldn't decide the outcome. They cherished each other and formed an irresistible friendship. From then on, Gilgamesh abandoned evil and turned to good, and the two began to work together to benefit the people of Uruk. They fought to death

The man-eating lion has done many good things for people.

Uruk is surrounded by a plain with few trees. People lacked wood when building houses. Gilgamesh and Enki went to the forest to cut wood for people. But there was a monster named Humbaba living in the forest.

They were not allowed to cut down the tree. The two fought with the monster and finally killed it. On the way back, a goddess descended from the sky and came to Gilgamesh. She walked up to Gilgamesh and said: Please come here.

, be my husband, Gilgamesh! If you can accept my love, you can enjoy endless glory and wealth.

It turned out that Gilgamesh's heroic act of slaying demons won the goddess's love. But Gilgamesh hated the goddess very much and sternly rejected her advances. The goddess felt that she had been greatly insulted and flew back angrily.

The sky sent a beetle to take revenge on Gilgamesh.

This beetle was huge, very ferocious, and could spit out fire. It could burn hundreds of people to death at once, and the civilians suffered greatly. Gilgamesh and Enki were very angry, and beat the beetle like raindrops of fists and kicks.

After seeing it, the goddess hurriedly came down to earth to rescue the beetle, but it was too late, the beetle had been beaten to death by two heroes.

When the goddess saw that her revenge plan failed, she sat on the wall of Uruk and cried. Gilgamesh and Enki laughed. Enki pulled off one of the beetle's legs and threw it into the goddess's face.
