Alexander called himself the son of Amun in the temple, but there was no Oracle coming, because Amun could not know all this. As Artemis said, when Alexander offered sacrifices to him in the temple, the reincarnated god might be a baby in his infancy, a wandering creature in the jungle, or a seed sprouting in the soil.
Even if Amun was still in heaven, he would not send down the oracle. To tell the world that there is a way out of immortality is the last Oracle of Amun.
Alexander conquered eju and knew how to win the hearts of the people with the policy of Jimi. He not only claimed to be the son of Amun, but also ordered the construction of a new port at the mouth of the Ronnie river north of Memphis, and named it Alexandria after his own name, in order to carry forward his great achievements. In addition, he ordered the restoration of Isis temple in Alexandria, fulfilling his promise to medanzo.
Although the goddess Isis has long been dead, she is still believed to be the virgin angel in eju. When the temple was completed, some elderly people discovered that the virgin angel on the altar was no longer the same as it was before. The craftsmen in eju actually carved her into the image of the last Isis Temple Guardian, Mary.
The people of eju have never seen Isis, and their memory of this goddess has faded away. However, when talking about Isis, people will think of Maria, the last guardian of Isis temple. Countless people have seen her. This may be a coincidence, intentionally or unintentionally, that the craftsmen incorporated the image of Maria into the statue of Isis, or Alexander intended to do it.
If Amun knew what the great emperor had done, he would at least have a good opinion of him. Alexander knew how to win over the hearts of the people, and how to win over the gods. The city of Alexandria built by him is more magnificent than any other city-state on the mainland, not only surpassing the city of Memphis, but also surpassing the city of Baron, which has a long history on the mainland.
Alexander not only expropriated eju's national strength, but also used the strength of the entire Macedonian Empire to build this new city-state. It was a miracle on the land of Tianshu and became the cultural and commercial center of Tianshu for hundreds of years.
Alexander himself stayed in eju for a year. Before the city was completed, he led troops to the East again. The route of his eastern expedition was contrary to that of the Uruk army led by Gilgamesh. He crossed the southern part of the Syrian desert to attack the territory of the former Baron kingdom. In the fields on the banks of the banks of the Euphrates, the Macedonian army fought a final battle with the millions of Boz led by Darius III.
At this time, the Persian Empire had lost its territory on the West Bank of the Euphrates River. It was like a clay footed giant who had been seriously damaged. It summoned up its final strength to confront the rising Macedonian Empire, but it was completely knocked down again. Alexander won a decisive victory and defeated the last main force of the Boz empire. When he crossed the Youdi River, he was like a man without a man. He successfully occupied the longest history and the most splendid city of Baron in Tianshu.
Outside the city of balun, the towering gate of God is a ruins full of smoke traces, like a huge and desolate monument. In the time of Cyrus and Darius, the conqueror of Boz did not force the barons to change their belief in Marduk. However, after Darius died, Xerxes, the successor, carried out the Daguangming religion throughout the territory of Boz and ordered the gate of God to be burned.
Alexander came to the door of the gods to pay homage to the ruins and announced in public that he would restore this magnificent miracle. This makes the people of balun very excited, but this project is so huge that tens of thousands of people need to be mobilized just to clean up the collapsed debris and debris at the gate of God. For hundreds of years, it is easy to damage the splendid buildings built by people of different dynasties, but it is too difficult to restore them.
Alexander just made a gesture and didn't fix the door. However, he rebuilt the temple of Marduk in the city of balun, and led the people to sacrifice to Marduk in person, which won the favor of the local people and the support of the traditional priest group. In the grand sacrificial ceremony, Alexander called himself "the son of Marduk".
We can imagine how solemn and sacred the occasion was. The title of "son of Marduk" added a kind of sacred aura to Alexander's rule. He was praised and respected by all the people. When people look up to this God like emperor, the mood must be in fear.
But Alexander's behavior in the human world made Artemis and Mu Yun on the cloud laugh. They were in a dignified mood, but they couldn't help laughing when they saw Alexander calling himself the son of Amun in eju and the son of Marduk in balun.
Alexander used the most solemn and sacred ceremony in the world to make the gods laugh. Artemis laughed and shook his head. "Who taught him this? It's true that we don't see the outside world, nor do we separate our families! "
Alexander did not see the exception, he learned the majestic Eastern court etiquette, put on the clothes of Boz the great, accepted people's creeping salute, and followed the provincial system created by Cyrus. The provinces and districts of the Macedonian Empire roughly refer to the establishment of the Persian Empire. However, compared with the times of Boz, Macedonian strengthened the monarchy rule, and separated the military, financial and civil affairs of local provinces to restrain each other.
Alexander also carried out a number of reforms to promote the integration of tribes throughout the Empire. In the minds of many people in the city states of hitton, it is believed that only the people who believe in the Olympus Gods on the heathen Peninsula are civilized people, while the rest of the cities are inhabited by barbarians. Of course, Alexander is not such a frog in the well. He knows that many civilizations in Tianshu are more glorious than those in hitton, and the people there have extraordinary wisdom and talent.Alexander not only promoted this kind of integration through the establishment of a unified provincial system, but also broke the traditional boundaries by means of intermarriage among different tribes and the recruitment of troops for joint operations. He could not only win over the local nobles, but also solve the problem of military resources. The great emperor was particularly keen on holding Mass weddings, encouraging his officers and men to marry with local noble women. Every time he conquered a new country, he often held an unprecedented mass wedding.
Alexander himself set an example. He married women of different tribes in different places. Under his leadership, more than 10000 Macedonian officers and men married women of various tribes. In Alexander's tabernacle, the nobles of the tribes and the priests were loyal to him. This is an unprecedented great integration, among the people, but also the most grand exchange of civilizations since the millennium.
After a year's rest in balun, Alexander's army conquered the territory of the former Assyrian Empire and continued to March eastward into the original borz territory. Darius III was killed by his subordinates, and the pompous empire was destroyed. Alexander seized the treacherous vassal of Boris III, executed him for the crime of regicide, and declared himself the heir of the Empire.
So far, Macedonian has completely conquered and annexed the great empire of Boz, but Alexander's expedition has not stopped. He took several years to integrate this huge empire, and then led his army to cross the border of Boz and continue eastward into Tianzhu. Here, Alexander encountered the most difficult battle since the eastern expedition, and the Macedonian phalanx met the Indian elephant array. The war was very tragic, with heavy casualties on both sides, but in the end, Alexander, the genius, won.
He established three new provinces on the West Bank of the Tianzhu river. By this time, the territory of the Macedonian empire was not far away from Kunlun, but they separated the most difficult plateau in the world. Alexander also wanted to continue to March eastward and conquer the whole of Tianzhu, but the army had gone too far. After years of fighting, the soldiers came to a completely strange foreign land and had no intention to continue this endless expedition.
The morale of the army changed and Alexander had to withdraw temporarily. He led his troops to bypass the Assyrian plateau and returned to balun by land, while another Navy set out from the mouth of the Tianzhu River and joined forces with Alexandria along the coastline, completing the greatest military initiative in the history of Tianshu.
Artemis and Mu Yun have been paying close attention to Alexander in the cloud, trying to discover Amun's trace in the world with the great emperor's expedition. When Alexander conquered the Tianzhu River Basin and returned to the army after victory, he was obviously unwilling to regroup his troops in balun and planned to March eastward one day.
Artemis and Mu Yun thought in their hearts, if at that time, the Macedonian emperor would claim to be the son of Brahman, or even the son of immeasurable light? If so, what would Zeus look like, angry or wry? However, we have to admit that a series of measures taken by Alexander in his expansion strengthened the rapidly formed empire as much as possible, and brought the worship of the Olympus Gods to all parts of the Tianshu continent, and even more distant places.
If Alexander could live as long as Aesop, the future is unknown. Unfortunately, history has not given him such a chance. Shortly after he returned to Baron City, a small mosquito bit the great emperor of the great continent. He had a high fever of malaria and died ten days later. He was not yet thirty-three years old.
In all aspects of his ambitious and short life, Alexander surpassed his father Philip II in all aspects, only a little less than that, which was the most fatal. He did not cultivate a suitable successor for himself, as Philip II had cultivated him. But it is not surprising that Alexander died too young for his children.
When Alexander died, he would fight for power. The great empire was soon divided into three parts. The hitton Peninsula under the former Macedonian rule became the kingdom of Macedonian, and the kingdom of Western Asia was established around the former Baron kingdom in Tianshu. When Alexander was alive, he inherited the crown and scepter of the Egyptians. After his death, the Ministry of Ptolemy succeeded to the throne of the Pharaoh and still worshipped Amun as the main God, creating the Ptolemaic dynasty of eju. History seems to have returned to its starting point.
The Olympus Gods and the angels of heaven did not find the clue of Amun's re-entry into the world. They had been paying close attention to all possible clues, but they had not found anything. Amun seemed to disappear in the boundless world.
Three hundred years later, the gods and angels still have no news that Amun is on earth.
……
One morning, a group of camels came from the horizon at the end of the sand dune, and saw the sun glare on the gravel. This is a caravan leaving eju for balun. They need to find a place to escape the midday sun. There is a huge ruin between the dunes ahead, with half a dome still remaining at the top of the towering column. It's a relic of a temple, but the altar is half buried in the sand, and the magnificent statue of Amun lies in the sand dunes.
More than 300 years ago, it was once a dependency of the Cape city-state of the eju empire. Dick and his son successively became the city lords of the Cape city-state. It was in this area that a fierce battle broke out between the Uruk army led by Gilgamesh and the eju army led by Amun. This is an oasis on the edge of the Syrian desert and the border of the promontory. People built a magnificent temple for Amun.With the change of climate, the oasis gradually desertification, leaving only a spring at the foot of the hill beside the temple, which is the place for the caravan to rest. The small hill and the ruins of the temple beside the mountain are just the rest place to block the scorching sun. Although it is not very comfortable, it is better than nothing.
The stone pillars carved with divine inscriptions have become the posts for people to tie horses and camels. The dung of animals falls on the remains of carved steps. People sit on the sand and rest against the reclining statue of Amun, which can block the sun.
This temple has stood for hundreds of years, and it has been 50 years since it was abandoned. The statues of gods lie on sand dunes, the crushed stones are trampled by mules and horses, and the ruins of the temple become temporary camps for caravans to and fro. It shows that the people here no longer believe in the God and forget all his glory and holiness.
What happened to the temple of Amun?
After Alexander's death, his ministry divided the great empire and established three countries: Macedonian, Western Asia and Egypt. Alexander's ministry put Ptolemy on the crown of the Pharaoh, and established the Ptolemaic dynasty in eju, the longest of the Three Kingdoms.
Shortly after Alexander's death, in the northwest of the Macedonian Empire, another country gradually rose, called the Republic of Maruo. In the eyes of the citizens of the city states of hitton, it was originally an uncivilized wilderness. But under the guidance of the gods, many sages came here one after another. The MAROS inherited the civilization and knowledge of the hittons and were learners and imitators.
The various systems of the Republic of Maruo generally follow the original city states of hitton. They were originally tribes subordinate to the United Kingdom of hitton, and gradually became powerful and established an independent state. They also believed in the gods of Olympus. Due to the different languages, Zeus was called Jupiter, Hera was called Juno, and Aphrodite, who was driven into reincarnation by Amun, was called Venus here.
Along with the spread of the hitton civilization, the expansion of the Macedonian Empire, and the integration of civilizations in Tianshu, the Republic of Maruo rose. At that time, Alexander was leading the army on the eastern expedition, and his main energy was on the fields of Boz and Tianzhu. He did not notice that this small Republic of Maruo was growing steadily.
It was not until two hundred years ago that the kingdom of Macedonia was destroyed by the Republic of Maruo.
And a hundred years ago, there was a majestic ruler in the Republic of Maruo, the chief high priest, the chief justice, the life-long dictator, and the commander-in-chief of the legions. His name was Caesar. Caesar started as a provincial governor and head of the army, formed an alliance with the other two big powers in the country, and became the governor of the Republic of Maruo, and finally monopolized the power.
When Caesar came to power, the Republic of Maruo not only annexed the whole hitton Peninsula, but also opened up a larger territory to the northwest. Caesar led the army eastward, basically occupied the territory of the former Persian Empire, and pursued the enemy south to eju.
At that time, eju was in the civil strife for the royal power. Queen Cleopatra sneaked into the city of Alexandria where Caesar lived, and ordered people to wrap herself in a blanket and send her to Caesar's resting room Became Caesar's lover.
Caesar helped Cleopatra defeat her political opponents and become the queen of the whole of eju, which became a dependency of the Republic of Maruo. By this time, Caesar's achievements had surpassed that of Alexander, and the territory of the Republic of Maruo had surpassed that of the former Macedonian Empire, and even extended westward and northward.
Eju, who believed in Amun, became the last remaining Kingdom on this continent.
It is a pity that Queen Cleopatra did not keep the good fortune of eju for a long time. A few years later, Caesar was assassinated in the Senate of Maruo city. Cleopatra became the lover of Antony in Caesar's Ministry, and declared her child born to Caesar as "the son of Amon" and the successor of the kingdom of Egypt.
Since Alexander, many people have claimed to be the son of Amon in the past three hundred years, and the last "son of Amon" was actually the son of Queen Cleopatra and Caesar.
However, Antony was defeated and killed by Caesar's adopted son Octavian, and Cleopatra was captured by Marlowe's army. The queen tried to repeat the old trick and continue to seduce Octavian, but failed. Octavian wanted to take Cleopatra back to Marlowe as a prisoner of war and paraded in the streets. The queen also committed suicide after hearing the news.
After nearly 300 years of history, eju Ptolemy Dynasty was finally destroyed. The Republic of Maruo annexed eju, making it a province in the territory. Octavian abolished the Republic and became emperor. He was called Augustus. The Republic of Marlowe became the great empire of Marlowe. This happened 50 years ago.
The Macedonian Empire established by Alexander completely disappeared and was submerged in the dust and gravel of history. On the Tianshu continent, there was an unprecedented Marlow empire. The MAROS carried out their rule and belief in the provinces and believed in the Olympus Gods.
The temple of Amun, which used to live in Egypt, was finally abandoned, and all the temples in the city-state had been demolished. However, the temple beside the desert commercial road had become such a ruin after 50 years.
