Where comes the mask of the pharaoh?

Where comes the mask of the pharaoh?

The ancient Egyptian gods and their relationship of the founders of Egypt are very little known persons. And there is one thought about the mask what pharaoh used. That thought is that some of the first pharaohs who were maybe Narmer abject the power in ancient Egypt by killing his successor. Maybe the position of the pharaoh was first the fixed-period. Then Narmer killed his successor and then started to rule the mask on his face. This is a really interesting thing to think in modern-day, where the rulers are using power out of the public eye.

As I have written before ancient Egypt has many secrets, and one of them was who were founders of this ancient kingdom. The first person who has been mentioned in Egyptian chronicles were "Scorpion", the king who lived about 3100 BC. But there were rulers before him. Lower Egypt had a ruler, whose name was Hedju Hor, and his mark was the Bird, who stood on the mark, what seems like a box or rather to say drum. Do you notice that I still have very much attitudes, because I just say that those people, who ruled Egypt were men?

There could also be queens, who used power, but this is the speculation, and maybe those queens were working as the shield for some people, who ruled the people from the back of Pharoah or king. When we are thinking about the first pharaoh of Egypt, Narmer who united Upper and Lower Egypt, we must realize that this man could be the mercenary, who ruled for some other people. When we are looking at the famous palette of Narmer, we must notice that he has portrayed as standing on the kneeing person and keeping the spear on his hand, while humiliating that person, who should serve the new ruler.

When we are thinking the societies of Upper and Lower Egypt, Lower Egypt was the living in the agricultural society, and Upper Egyptians were Nomads, and when Narmer conquerer Lower Egypt, that caused the class to the Egyptian society, what was very deep. When we are thinking about the Narmer's position as the ruler of Upper Egypt and as the conqueror of Thebe, we must realize that there could be two ways how he made that.

Maybe there was a fight before that but there is a possibility, that there was a union between the Nomads and Farmers, who worked on the field. And to that union might belong the contract, that half of the officials were named from the Upper and half of the officials were chosen from the Lower Egyptians.

But then the Narmer was selected only the persons from Upper Egypt to the positions, which was important for the public affairs. And maybe the image what is graved in Narmer palette was made for propaganda, where Narmer defended child by punishing person, who has made something to that child. Maybe the case that the Narmer attacked or took the rule in Thebe was excused that the somebody has done something for the child of upper Egyptians, and then Narmer came to punish that person, who was hurt that child.  In some theories the thing, that some person has problems to get work are coming from that period.

So how Narmer conquerer Thebe? Was he ordered his men to fight, or was he just ordered all officials for the nation, from the own group. There is theory, that there was first the system, where the position of the pharaoh was ambulatory, and the ruler was chosen for a certain time. But then Narmer killed his successor and started to use power mask on his face. Could this the tale behind the mask of the pharaoh, as I have written in the first paragraph of this text?

If we think that the Narmers men kept their power simply by controlling the instructions about how some work must be done, would that thing cause that the persons who were from Upper Egypt were ruling class, and the antigene what would transmit from that era causes that the leaders of the working sites would get antipathy against people, who has genomes from the Lower Egypt. That kind of thoughts is quoted as pseudoscience. But they have been very interesting topics about academic discussions.

When we are thinking about the first periods of ancient Egypt, there are many secrets, because the hieroglyphic system has not advanced yet. This means that this era when prehistory has turned to history has given the ideas for the most incredible and creative theories and stories about the era, what is living only in stories. Many things, what happens that era were stored long after those first pharaohs.

When does the state turn to serve the individual?

When does the state turn to serve the individual?

For some philosophers, the state is thing what is above all, and the reason for that is that the state has established to serve people. So the people of the state must serve the state. In this philosophical hypothesis, both sides of the relationship between the state and individual persons would both get the benefit of this relationship, where the state protects the individual and for that process, each individual must give their stakes.

This is one way to say, that the state is above all. The reason for that might be some people thought that the apple of power was actually the hand grenade, what could kill everybody, who was against the king. If the king was angry, that person could use the hand grenade.  

The words of the philosophers have been searched and researched for hundreds of years. And still, nobody doesn't know, what exactly those people thought or what they meant when they wrote their thoughts. There are always thoughts that some philosopher has meant, what that inmate wrote.

That means that the thing is seen in their texts, there might be many meanings in their writings, and sometimes I have thought, how much those great persons could be written, if they have not written their ideas to paper? When we are thinking about things like the relationship between an individual and the state, those texts causes strong feelings even today.

And if they would be found in 18th. century, that might cause a very dangerous situation. So what would Voltaire do with network-based publication tools? When we are thinking about the role of the individual in the state, we might find the level, where the state starts to be one man. 

The idea of that has been copied from the famous phrase, what Luis XIV said once. "I'm the state" would be a very interesting way to rule the country. That makes the ruler unlimited user of power. But there is one little thing, and that is that what if the state loses the war? Would the king have anything, why other people leave that man alive?

The king is in the middle of the state, and that person cannot escape if the war goes bad way, and henchmen tell always, that the king has given every order int the state. And they afraid that the king would punish them if they would not follow the orders, and one of the best explanations is that some of those henchmen believed, that the apple of power was the hand grenade, what the ruler would use against the henchmen. Was that true or false, that thing is unknown.

The wild idea: was Valdemar Atterdag search for the Holy Grail when he attacked against Visby in the year 1361.

The world is full of theories, and one reason, why I will write this text, is that many things, what we think as the fact might be something else, what people have been told. In medieval time, people were superstitious, and they believed things differently than modern people.  In 14th. century there were remains of the ancient pagan religion and the Catholic Church was really tough, if the person has some other opinions, what were accepted by that organization.

So if Valdemar Atterdag believed the Holy Grail, that would not mean, that this person has been found that relic. Search is different than finding something, and this is the thing, what many people forget when they are talking about this kind of things. If Atterdag searched for the Holy Grail, that would not mean, that this man has found anything. But It's interesting to think, what was the real reason, why Atterdag attacked Gotland in 1361.

The role of the researcher is to contest the things, what people normally think like the things, what are taken by granted. In the Medieval time, the truth about some actions might be far away from the things, what are told to the ordinary people. And the thing is that in the medieval time people were really superstitious. So was the reason why the King of Denmark Valdemar Atterdag actually looking for the Holy Grail when he attacked against Gotland in 1361.

When we are thinking about the war between Denmark and Gotland in 1361, we must realize that the reason, why The King Of Denmark, Valdemar Atterdag might claim that the pirates, who were attacked against Hansa's ships were the reason, why Atterdag made the decision to attack against Visby. That town was the only city on that island, and Atterdag had no problems with that operation.

So there were something very interesting details in that action. After the fall of the city, Atterdag ordered people to pay the prize about their fight. And the prize was three barrels of gold and diamonds or other jewels. And the only thing, what Atterdag wanted was the very famous granite cross of the cathedral of Visby.

The captains of the ships, which were ordered in that mission told, that they should wait for the next summer because the weather was going bad. But Atterdag ordered them to start the transportation. Those ships disappeared near the Karlsö-Islands at the southern cape of the Gotland. And that was the last time when that cross has ever seen.

But when we are looking at this case, we must ask, what made Atterdag believe that those pirates were from Visby? Was somebody told that thing to Atterdag? Or were those attackers recognize somewhere?

When we are thinking the reason, why wars began in the time of Atterdag, there could be reasons like the king was not want to pay the prizes to his mercenaries, and the war was a good reason for killing own men. But here is one very wild thing what brought in my mind.

This idea is so wild, that I almost don't dare to write it. Maybe Atterdag was looking for the Holy Grail. Who knows the truth about this man. But this kind of things is a really good way to spend the summer day.
