036 Mother and child recognize each other
The pharaoh who reigns today in the Kingdom of Thebes is known as Thutmose I.
His real name is Thutmose, and his royal title is Akpokara.
This is a man of great ability, not from the Theban royal family, but a low-level commoner, because of his outstanding military talents, the previous pharaoh Amenhotep I was favored as a general, Amenhotep I had only one daughter, so Thutmose I married the princess, and succeeded him as pharaoh after the death of Amenhotep I.
Now in his eleventh year in office.
But in this short eleven years, Thutmose I led a large army south, defeated the Kingdom of Nubia, which had fought against the Kingdom of Thebes in Upper Egypt, and established the glory of the current Kingdom of Thebes.
He was deeply loved by the middle and lower classes, was the object of their worship, and was also the faithful spokesman of the Three Pillars of Thebes.
Therefore, when the guards below heard that there was a tall woman covered in blood outside the city who threatened to find the god Amun, Thutmose I, even if he had just gone to bed and was about to take a nap, got up directly, and did not even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran to the palace to meet the woman in person.
And after a brief inquiry, lead the woman to the temple.
Egypt Island.
The royal palace and the temple are closely integrated, and generally speaking, only the front side is the royal palace, and the other three sides belong to the temple.
In terms of rights, the royal palace is actually also the land of the gods, and the pharaoh is only the spokesman of the gods, who temporarily lives in the palace and does not have the ownership of the palace.
Even in small countries, pharaohs took pride in the presence of their queens by the gods they believed in.
If the queen gives birth to an heir to a god, she is immediately honored as an animal god.
The temple of Amun at the rear of the royal palace.
The door of the temple tower is 36 meters high, and the entrance is flanked by a statue of the Mut eagle carved in black granite, and there are four recesses for planting flags symbolizing the kingdom of Thebes, the god Amun, Mut and Konsi, and the walls are beautifully frescoed with the scene of Thutmose I conquering the kingdom of Nubia under the gaze of the god of the Three Pillars.
Every time he passed by, Thutmose I was proud and held his head high.
But today he didn't have time to do so.
He stooped to guide the tall woman who emitted a foul smell inside, and when he reached the center of the temple, he prostrated down at the statue of Amun in front of him.
Don't say a word.
Not long after, there was an eagle's roar in the sky, and then a tall middle-aged man with a mask stepped on the eagle and landed in the air.
"Thutmose, what's the matter?" The man was none other than the god Amun.
Thutmose I was about to reply, but the woman behind him preemptively said, "It's me, Hapoquedis." β
Hearing this, Amun was stunned.
He looked at the woman in disbelief.
Long.
With a wave of his hand, he said to Thutmose I: "Don't spread today's events randomly, you can go, and you must also keep your mouth shut about her affairs, and after a few days, I will ask the messenger to give your son some magic medicine......"
"Yes!" Thutmose I looked excited and hurriedly bowed away.
He is now Pharaoh, the pinnacle of the human race, and there is no treasure of gold or silver to rejoice him, but his son, his only son, who is weak and sickly, and needs to survive on the medicine given by the god Amun.
But he hadn't reached the door yet.
He was stopped again.
Amun thought for a moment: "You wait outside the door, don't let anyone in, not even Mut and Khons!" β
"Yes!"
Thutmose I went out and stood guard at the door.
As everyone knows.
Not long after he went out, the infinitely revered god Amun knelt on the ground and shouted at the bloody, foul-smelling woman, "Mother? β
Interrogative sentence, Amon is still a little confused.
After all, he was sent out of Sumer when he was young, separated from Ishtar, even if he had a good memory when he was a child, now Ishtar is dirty, his face is covered, and it is normal to not recognize it.
Thanks to Ishtar, he called out his nickname.
Hapoqueidis!
- This is a nickname known only to Ishtar.
"It's me."
The tall woman, that is, Ishtar, saw her son kneel down and recognize him, and her heart was finally relieved, and for a while, the half month of running, tiredness, fear, and nervousness were intertwined, and her body was weak and paralyzed to the ground.
The god Amun came over and took his mother in his arms.
The relationship between mother and son is not abrupt.
For Ishtar, her eldest son, Horus, is her only reliance today; As for Horus, if he hadn't been sent to Egypt by his mother at the risk of his life when he was a child, he might not have survived now.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive until now, think about those gods, think about those animal gods.
It didn't end well!
So he was still grateful.
After some conversation, both sides also understood the current situation on the other side.
The god Amun, just a controlled corpse, is a mask, and its true face is actually only a brain and eyes, and his name is Horus, which is a big name given by himself, after all, when he was a child, he was sent with only a small name.
"Horus, it's nice too." Ishtar sniffed the scent of her eldest son, which gave her a sense of security, "Actually, I had already named you at the time, but I didn't tell you in time. β
Horus was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What's it called?" β
"Hades."
"I see, when I was young, I was haunted by not having a big name, but now that I know it, I feel a lot more at ease." Horus is very good at comforting people, but he is more concerned about the information revealed by Ishtar, "Mother, the matter on the island of Sumer is not mentioned for the time being, the reason why you are so embarrassed now is because of the sneak attack of Seth and Nephthys...... Is that right? They hurt my mother and killed my titular father? β
Apparently.
Ishtar had already told Horus who his biological father was.
But anyway.
Horus has always believed that the Hades King Negar is his father since he was a child, and it is difficult to change his perception for a while.
Ishtar nodded: "That's right, I only brought back some of Osiris's internal organs, and I don't know if he can be reborn......"
"It's hard." Horus sighed, "If the clone wants to grow faster, the main body must remain conscious...... But don't worry, mother, you have been so wronged, and if I can't stand up as a son, it will be a son of man in vain, and I will go to Heropolis and kill Seth and Nefertisβ"
"Don't ...... They have mental powers, and you're no match for them! β
"In order to unify the whole territory of Egypt, I have already made all plans, and the appearance of my mother only advanced the plan a little, but it did not have much impact." Horus ignored the dust and kissed Ishtar on the cheek, "Don't worry, the body of the God Emperor of the Mu Continent is in Heriopolis, and he happens to be missing his brain and eyes......"
A quarter of an hour later.
Horus called Thutmose I in.
Said:
"Thutmose, I heard that your son is not yet married, you can prepare a dowry, and I will take the messenger to the kingdom of the sun god to find a princess for your son......"
