When Intifu heard this, he was so frightened that he stood up from the golden throne carried by the slaves!
He was about to step down immediately, facing his biggest competitor head-on. He waved his hand, and the slaves tremblingly squatted down and used their bodies to form a ladder.
Finnis scolded them loudly:
"Your bodies come from the dust of the primitive hills. When Atum created your ancestors with tears, he did not create the class of slaves and nobles for you."
"Please stand up, everyone's body is the dust of the primitive hills, there is no difference!"
This is the Egyptian myth of the creation of man. The first god, the primitive sun god Atum, was born on the primitive hill. His tears fell into the dust of the primitive hill, forming each human ancestor.
Although the original appearance of this myth is not like this, because Atum is standing here, he does not refute or say anything, because now Fenis is just using this myth to convey a kind of justice to the slaves in front of him.
.
However, the slaves have served the king for too long, and Finnis's call cannot make them react. They still serve as the ladder for King Intifu. Seeing this scene, Intifu smiled.
"I thought you were a formidable competitor."
"Now it seems that he is a stupid person with beautiful compassion. This is how King Meli Ibla of the Ninth Dynasty taught you, to teach slaves to be equal?"
"After all, you don't understand. Lions are equal when they are born. Why do lions have to have a king?"
"This is the species. The strong rule the weak and build a great and immortal world. This glory is with every grain of dust. Didn't I build this world for the greatness of Egypt and the glory of Egypt?
?”
"The reason slaves are slaves is because they have made mistakes and are guilty. Their ancestors became slaves, and their descendants will also become slaves for generations to repay their sins."
"The achievements of the slaves' construction will become immortal inscriptions showing the majesty of the Pharaoh. Isn't this their glory? As sinners, they can share the glory with the Pharaoh and bathe in the supreme light. This is the best they can get.
Good ending.”
Fennis asked him: "Are all slaves in the Old Kingdom guilty?"
"During the Great Famine of Sixty Years, people couldn't survive, so they took refuge with the nobles and became slaves. Are they guilty of not being able to survive?"
Intifu looked at the nobles, who also calmed down at this time. One noble said: "What are you talking about? During the great famine, we had food in our hands. We saved them and they became slaves.
To repay us!"
"Don't you think so? We are doing good things, but you actually dare to accuse us of this?"
The slaves agreed one after another, and they felt that this was indeed the case.
But Finneas asked again: "Then where does your food come from?"
"You have so much food, where does it come from? It was taken from manors, from fields, from slaves and laborers, and from the houses of the people."
The noble nodded and said slyly: No, so we took these things from the people and now return them to them again, is there anything wrong?"
"We obtained the food through legal means, are we ignoring Egypt's rules?"
"Isn't it wrong for us not to let them live?"
The noble shouted mockingly at the slaves a few more times:
"Slaves, look, this man who comes to compete for the position of Pharaoh actually doesn't want you to live!"
"Slaves, look at what other weird things this great competitor can say!"
Take it from the people, use it for the people, this sentence can be understood in this way!
The nobles' shameless remarks shocked Fennis to the extreme. He could see their faces clearly. Of course, all the nobles in the world were the same. It does not mean that the nobles of the Eleventh Dynasty were any better than those of the Ninth and Tenth Dynasties.
All the confessions he made to Osiris during the sixty-year famine were all to excuse his appearance.
Facing the other party's sarcastic attitude, Finneas was not angry. She looked at Intifu:
"I want to speak to everyone, are you afraid of language?"
Intifu sneered, then waved his hand: "Everyone, look at her!"
"Look at this stupid contender, listen to what she will say, and raise your heads!"
Then the slaves raised their heads in fear, and Finneas's face left a deep mark in their eyes.
As for Finnis, she no longer looked at the nobleman or Intifu. She took a deep breath and faced everyone.
"Now, I'm not talking to any one person, I'm talking to all the Egyptian people!"
"You grow the food yourself, but you can't eat it yourself."
"You made the utensils yourself, but you don't use them yourself."
"The nobles use various names to make you submit to their rule, use soldiers as force to suppress your bodies, and use the majesty of the Pharaoh and the power of the gods to control your souls."
"The intake of social resources is unfair. The nobles own land and resources and think they are the will of God. However, in the harsh natural environment of the lower class, due to the unfairness of social resources as a whole, it is more difficult for you to survive, so you become
The rich man’s cattle and slaves.”
"Your belongings were taken away by them. Some things belong to you, but they can use various excuses to exploit loopholes in the law, because the law was originally set up for them."
"They say that slaves should work and are not free, and should be worse than pigs, dogs, and beasts. So you really believe that you are worse than pigs, dogs, and beasts."
"They said that everything belonging to the slaves belonged to the master, and then they threatened force and changed the laws to control it. Then the disobedient slaves were beaten to death, but the nobles would not be guilty. So everyone knew that the slaves should be
Beaten to death."
"They said that they distributed food and saved countless lives during the sixty-year famine. For this reason, they sang hymns and set up inscriptions for themselves. They wanted immortality and wanted to get Osiris after death.
A fair trial, they also want to sleep in the reed fields!"
"Why do they sleep in the reed fields!"
"Throughout the ages, if you want to turn a person from a free person into a slave, you only need to do two things!"
"Deprive them of the right to work and deprive them of property. The first thing is to remove their source of income, and the second thing is to remove their right to hold property. When the economy cannot be independent, people will not have the freedom and dignity of being human.
!”
When these words came out, the noble's face changed instantly, and the slaves suddenly became enlightened as if they were enlightened!
It's not that they don't want to work, it's that they have become refugees.
So the nobles told them, you will be slaves to us and we will give you food.
The food they eat is also their taxes, and these taxes amount to a terrifying half.
The ancient Egyptian government's financial revenue mainly relied on agricultural taxes, and there was also a harvest tax.
And the agricultural tax rate is more than 50%, that is, farmers must hand over half of the harvested grain to the government!
This kind of tax rate would have been absolutely unimaginable in the ancient Eastern Xia or ancient Mesopotamia. Even the most powerful emperor in history would still shout "Bullshit!"
Therefore, from the earliest days, the nobles did not need these people to work.
They just need to be slaves.
The breathing of slaves and workers sounded one after another, and the faces of the nobles became more and more ugly with Finnis's voice, changing like the sky in June, and they began to shout:
"Don't let her talk anymore!"
God Amun frowned, and the other gods were stared at by Atum. The power of the first generation of gods made them breathless.
And King Intif felt like he couldn't keep his face off, because he was the one who asked Finnis to "speak freely"!
We can't let this girl talk any more!
He was about to warn his competitor, but Finnis announced loudly at this time and pointed at King Intifu!
At this time, the two competitors pointed at each other, as if making pharaoh declarations to each other!
Fenyx: "I walk with the dead, coming in the day, and I will lead you."
"I swear to Osiris! If I become Pharaoh, I will give up my name, give up my immortality and glory, I will not build pyramids, I will not erect obelisks, I will not wear the circlet of the sacred snake.
Huan, I will not accept Ra’s blessing!”
"I have spent my whole life in the dirt and will never go to the high sky! If I break this oath, my soul will become heavy and I will be swallowed by the monster Amit in the underworld, and I will suffer forever!"
Finneas remembered Abram's teachings, and she already understood what "earth" meant, that is, the people of Egypt!
Because in the Xia, Han, and Mesopotamia, the legends about the creation of humans were all made of clay. In Egypt, although people’s bodies were also made of clay, they were made from the tears of Atum.
Formed on the dust of the primitive hills.
"And I will promise you that you and your descendants will be completely free!"
