Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1771 The Queen of Hell (42)

  Napoleon is an Italian. Although he studied in France after he was 13 years old, he received a Latin education from an early age.

  During the expedition to Egypt, even though the Gauls were known for their physical strength, everyone was tired after trekking in the desert for so long. Why should the donkey be given to scholars to ride? Many people do not understand this.

  Caesar and Cicero and the Roman nobles who were good at eloquence did not deal with it. Civil officials thought that the generals were too barbaric, and the generals thought that the civilians were too pedantic, and their values ​​were different.

  However, Napoleon Bonaparte merged the relationship between scholars and soldiers through an expedition to Egypt. Monge also married his daughter to soldiers who were injured and disabled due to the Great Patriotic War.

  Actually, courtesy scholars of the Bourbon royal family and many nobles have done it, including artists in Jean Jacques Rousseau and Madame Du Barry’s salon, but this feeling is different.

   Just as Napoleon met the Bourbon nobles, they also pledged allegiance, but in private they still secretly found the bodies of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI in the mass grave, and went to the tower where they were once held to mourn.

  Napoleon thought he would be able to trade for the ally of the Holy Roman Empire by marrying Mary Louise. In fact, his family would be formally accepted after his death and became the royal family and nobles of Europe.

  Popular people may not understand the thoughts of these nobles.

Both Camus and Sartre discussed the question of how humans can survive in the absurd world. Modern Western history has continuously rationalized human life and organized it. In this reasonable production order, each individual is an instant on the assembly line. With replaceable screws, the irreplaceability and non-repeatability of the individual are eliminated.

If it is said that the Middle Ages emphasized theocratic power and that human beings were part of God’s plan to do good deeds and ignored human values, needs and dignity, then modern times have ignored human values, needs, and dignity in an “pipelined” way, but they are nothing more than previous assets. Classes and ordinary people belong together, and they will all be oppressed by those nobles. Now they have also become the ruling class, oppressing the proletarians together with those nobles.

  They don’t need so many people to think. For example, for a coffee waiter, he only needs to do a little reflection ability as Sartre said, and he will become very anxious. Do I have to do this for the rest of my life? I was born to serve dishes in a cafe?

  They will tell the waiter not to think so much, you have to concentrate on working hard, save enough money, and then open a cafe of your own. Although he has become a coffee shop owner from a waiter, he still serves the plates. Can't he think like the literati sitting in the coffee shop and drinking coffee?

  As long as you completely give up reflection, act completely according to other people's arrangements, completely treat yourself as a part of the social machine, and become "existing for others", you can obtain "happiness" and become a middle class by their definition.

However, the cafe will close down for various reasons at any time, and the boss will become a waiter again. Just like Sisyphus, he pushed a stone to the top of the mountain in vain, and then the stone fell to the place where it started. So Sartre doesn’t think anxiety is It's not good, he thinks this is an experience a person has when he is awakened. Unknown tourists smell the cheap perfume from the Champs Elysées station and think that Paris is an elegant city, but the subway passengers who live in this city smell the perfume that masks the smell of dead mice every day, but feel sick. Because she has realized what is behind this absurd world full of perfume.

  At this time, Camus and Sartre’s theories diverged. Camus felt that although Sisyphus’s behavior was absurd, he still had to push the **** stone with passion. Dreamers may think that they can change the world. No, that’s impossible. As Talleyrand said, those nobles remember everything and learn nothing. When they came to power, the first thing they did was to exclude dissidents, Napoleon’s officers were removed and replaced by noble officers. Then there was the "Medusa Raft Incident". After the warship hit the rocks, the nobles ran away first, leaving civilian soldiers on the raft to fend for themselves, and they would eat cannibalism in order to survive.

  This is also one of the reality that Camus needs people to face. When people realize that there is no hope and no future, they will no longer be confused by those false and grand goals and hopes. They can fully exhaust today and live in the present. The wait staff can chat with the female tourists who come to the cafe, and maybe there will be a romantic affair. As for work, love, and family, just like Morso's mantra in "The Outsider" is as "indifferent".

This is the existentialist thought after World War II. In contrast, Sartre is more active. Life is meaningless, but you can create the future through your own actions. You have free choice. You don’t have to push stones like Sisyphus. As for what you will do in the future, where you may be lost. The sky will come down to the people of Sri Lanka. What this "great responsibility" is is still unclear, but this is the beginning of your awakening and the beginning of your actions. Perhaps a happy society will be born in your hands.

  Camus will refute that you want us to fight for the unreachable vision, like a mirage, and accept huge sacrifices. I can't do it, I can't accept it.

  This is why Camus and Sartre were very good at first, and then they broke up.

It is not so easy to make people change. European aristocrats are rarely willing to intermarry high and low. This is a very stubborn feudal remnant thought. The Rose family of the Titanic has fallen, and her mother asked her to marry Karl for money. But she would rather choose the artist Jack.

  Artists are a very special group. As long as you declare yourself as an artist, you can use this identity to freely appear in the upper class and be easily accepted.

  This is the courtesy of Europe to the group of artists since the Renaissance. In Italian, the Renaissance itself means resurrection from the dead.

This group of people usually lives in a flowery city, or in a "pastoral", and has never been to a difficult place in the desert, just like the philosopher and boatman who encountered a big wave on a boat. Before the big wave, he can sympathize with the boatman. After the big waves, it was the boatman's turn to ask if he could swim.

Before the issue of life and death, many of the troubles that were entangled in the past can be put down, and some things can be revisited. During the Cairo riots, scholars raised their guns and aimed at civilians just like soldiers. As long as there are French, there is no difference between scholars and soldiers, they will all be killed.

  Sometimes the relationship between people is not only because of interests, but also because of things that have been experienced together.

  Even if someone is in the same room, joy and sorrow are not completely connected. When you look at the bottom of the well, you will find that the earth is not a continuous continent, but an isolated island. Everyone is the owner of an isolated island.

This kind of loneliness makes us eager to get in touch with others. People in the Renaissance believed that the small universe in the human body was in harmony with the large universe created by God. One is all, and all is one. The human figure reflects the architecture of the Renaissance architects. ideal.

  According to the records of Vitruvius’ Ten Books of Architecture, the root of “coordination” and “proportion” lies in the columnar system. Architects regard the pillars as the source of beauty and act like gods, and even pillars in the image of a goddess appear.

Amenhotep III was the son of Thutmose IV of the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, the grandson of Amenhotep II, and the great-grandson of Thutmose III. Since Thutmose III, the pharaoh has been with Ya The Hermes family is no longer in contact.

Before Amenhotep III, the New Kingdom had abolished some of the rituals and celebrations of the Old Kingdom period. At the 30th anniversary of Amenhotep III's accession to the throne, he planned to celebrate it grandly, so he completely followed the rituals of the ancient kingdom. A ceremony was held.

  At that time, the King of Babylon wanted to form an alliance through marriage, but Amenhotep III married a daughter of a wealthy businessman named Taiyi. She was chosen as the queen because of her beauty.

  The king of Babylon hopes that Egypt can marry a princess, even if it is not Pharaoh’s birth, the adopted daughter will do. This is the diplomatic method started by Amenhotep II, but it has always been the countries of West Asia who have dedicated their beauties to the pharaohs. These foreign beauties have localized names in the Egyptian palace, such as "cat-like women", " The pursuer is like a stunner." In short, Amenhotep III is lustful and often asks countries for beauties. He did not agree to the proposal of the King of Babylon, but instead gave the King of Babylon a set of furniture as a gift for the new palace.

The king of Babylon built the palace, but it was for the new princess. The king of Babylon did not attend the 30th anniversary ceremony held by Amenhotep III, but this did not affect. At that time, many people rushed to favor the pharaoh "My Lord" , My king, my god, my sun, I am your servant, the dust under your feet, I will send my daughter to you."

Those vying for beauties were not only foreign kings, but also vassal kings. Amenhotep III said to one of them, "I can give you anything, as long as you find a beautiful woman to pour wine in the palace, you will find no fault. Yes, try to get this king to say to you, "This is really good."

  Queen Tai's elder brother is the high priest, responsible for "the movement of the sky", he invented a new invention, not only the drip clock, the sundial that could only be used during the day can also be used at night.

  The ritual of the resurrection of the kings of the ancient kingdom must be held at dawn. They must use ropes to erect the festival pillars to represent the resurrection of Osiris.

The pillars are not obelisks, they are piled up piece by piece of stone, even the temple pillars erected under the blue sky of Greece, not to mention the Jade column itself represents the spine, and the spine is made up of pieces of bones. It does not need to be erected diagonally like an obelisk, it can be erected vertically.

It will be a sleepless night. In the process of erecting the pillars, the priestesses will have to sing "Come on, the Golden Goddess" carol dance. Queen Taiyi and the princesses will not dance all night, they will be at the beginning of the ceremony. Dressed up beautifully, dressed as Hathor, symbolically rang the fork bell and it was over. The heavy physical work was still the responsibility of the court dancers. They and the pharaoh got up at dawn and shook it again. The fork bell is delivered all night and it's over.

  At this time, the pharaoh will be reborn as the **** Ra. Amenhotep III is no longer the son of Ra, but the deity of the sun god, enjoying the same worship as the god.

  In those years, the Nile flood was at the ideal water level, so the newly born "one of the gods" even took the role of the Nile **** Hapi, even though he is an obnoxiously fat old man in modern people's eyes. But from the looks of him, he looked a bit like a woman, and the Pharaoh had combined the power of the male **** and the goddess in one body.

  The high priest said that this divine power was regularly replenished and renewed. Later, Amenhotep III held it again three years later, and still did not invite the King of Babylon.

  It was not the third time, but this time it was deliberately low-key, because the fifty-year-old pharaoh was about to die. At this time, Egypt's territory in Asia showed signs of loosening.

  The governors of Asia and the kings of the vassal states wrote letters to the new pharaoh Amenhotep IV. They complained that they were often reprimanded or deceived for no reason. In the early days of his reign, Amenhotep IV had serious conflicts with the king of Mitanni, a major Asian country. He therefore formed an alliance with the Hittites, and these terrifying fighters, under the leadership of their great leader Supiluri Uma I, are attacking Mitanni in an attempt to establish their hegemony.

  Many little Asian princes who surrendered to Egypt were also threatened by the Hittites. They could only ask for help from the pharaohs in Africa, but Amenhotep IV ignored them.

  So what is the use of Amenhotep III’s expansion? Anyway, his descendants can't keep it.

  It is the right thing to implement the religious reform of Atun worship. In the first year of ascending to the throne, he began to promote the sun **** who replaced all the gods in the past.

  Although the spine can be bent, the Jade column that supports the roof cannot be bent.

  This waist is not something everyone can bend down. Those flattering voices sound better than criticism, but don’t you feel disgusting if you listen to them too much?

  It’s a good thing to be able to hear criticism. It proves that this person has hope. What else will he say if he is not saved?
