You came to this land,
To bring Egypt back to life (..)
He waters the fields,
Which created Ra,
To give life to every goat (..) |

The Old "Kingdom" |
|
|
The story of Kleopatra... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
There was a temple in the city of Seve and a mighty king Alexander wanted to get there because of the oracle who lived there. When this king braught Egypt under his rule, he was named a God. But Kleopatra who was a greek woman, was a relativ of one of Alexandre's generals.
She was born in Alexandria and she was one of the Ptolemay's dinasty. Although everyone thinks that Kleopatra was very beautiful, in fact she wasn't, she was just an ordinary girl but... she was unbelivebaly clever and witty. She had a brother - Ptolemay, they hated each other but after Kleopatra was 18, their father - Philip XII - died and they had to rule together. During this time the democrosy in Rome began to dissapear...
Kleopatra had a son - Cezarion, his father was Rome's emperor - Cezar! Kleopatra had a dream of free Egypt and now it was possible BECAUSE HER SON WAS A heir to the throne OF THE ROME'S EMPIRE! Of course in Rome this isn't wanted. But then suddenly Cezar dies and in the age of 23 Kleopatra comes to Rome. Although her son's rights on the throne are endangered because his father has died, Kleopatra doesn't loose hope. After some time she has found a friend - Mark Antonio - and they fall in love. This was her second love. Mark Antonoi is now called a betrayor of Rome because of his love with a suburban beauty and there begins a war between him and Octavian - a new emperor of Rome's empire. Kleopatra and her army fights bravely but Rome is stronger and they lose. Mark Antonio stabs himself but Kleopatra with her (already) 3 children wants to escape to India. But she didn't succeed in it and she had to meet with Octavian. Before that she wanted to send at least her son to India but he didn't make it and Octavian killed him. Kleopatra was locked in a temple where Octavian had to go in to simbolise a complete victory over Kleopatra and Egypt. But he was too late because Kleopatra poisoned herself with egyptian snake. She didn't succeed in her plans but Octavian understood that now he will never put under his rule this clever, smart, witty and beautiful queen of Egypt... |

Egyptians didn't have their constant army so the expeditions made to Sinay, Kush, Punt and Fenicy were halfmilitar, halftradel. During the Old country (since 3. dinasty) the building of pyramids. Then egyptians begun to use the cedar of Libanon. The first expeditions for the cedar are dated by about 2700.B.C.
Since the 5. dinasty, when Ra became the most important god, egyptians built huge monumental sacral buildings for him as well as the building of pyramids, this all as you probbobly understand was VERY expensive and some historians think that the cause of the start of the first interval (egyptians thought that betwen the harmonical and "good" times - so called countries - there were intervals - "bad" times when the harmony and the order are ruined) is exhaustion of resources. TO BE CONTINUED. |

A letter to Amenhotep III from the king of Babilon |
|
|
|
|
|
"Reffering the fact that You can't give me Your daughter as a wife, as You write:"Since the begginig of time egyptian princesses aren't given to foreigners as wifes." Why do You [my brother] say so? You are the ruler and You can do whatever You like. If You give, who would dare to say anything? When these words were told to me I wrote [to my brother] this:"You have grown-up daughters and beautiful wemen; send me a beautiful woman [Your choice], who would dare to say that she isn't an Egyptian princess?" But You dicided not to send and You didn't. Didn't You look for our friendship when You wrote about the marriage to make us relatives? My brother, why didn't You send me any of Your wemen, maybe I should do the same way as You did? [But] no, You will have my daughters, I won't refuse them to You. What reffers the gold about which I wrote You: send me lots of different gold, so that I can finish the work I have started. If You will send me the gold this summer, You will get my daughter. But if You don't send me it on time, why to send me gold later? Send me even 3000 talents of gold, I won't take it and I will send it back to You and I won't give You my daughter as a wife." |
