Harry Potter Morning Light

Wizards also have wizard chess, but the rules of wizard chess are actually similar to those of chess, except that the pieces can move by themselves and the eaten pieces will be overturned and destroyed. Each side has 16 pieces, including a king, a queen, two castles, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns.

Even if this way of playing chess is a little more violent, Wizard Chess is still a battle against the world of the living, which is completely different from the way to the underworld to extradite the dead shown in Senet Chess.

No matter the grid on the Senet chessboard is called a "grid", it is called a residence. Except for the water house on the 27th grid that contains the water of chaos, there are 4 very special grids.

The first is the House of Rebirth in 15 grids. In this grid, there will be an Egyptian symbol representing life. This symbol can be seen in many jewelry stores and souvenir shops in the British Museum. It is made of various materials. It is 26 grids away from the beauty. house is far away.

Most people will not play that move unless there is no piece to move and only this piece can move. The pieces of Senet chess can only advance and cannot retreat. As long as there is one piece that can move, there is no bye. If you don't want to, you can only step into the water of chaos and start over.

The 26th cell is called the House of Beauty, which actually has nothing to do with beautiful men and women. This frame represents the making of mummies. In funeral murals, Anubis with the jackal head is often possessed in the circle. Above the moon, it is like possessing the body of the dead.

Many gods in Egypt are related to the moon, including Osiris, who was cut into 14 pieces and associated with the waxing and waning of the moon, so the Egyptians believed that the night of the full moon was the best time to sew clothes.

This may be related to the living habits of Egypt. Egypt is dry and rainless, and it is all irrigated by the Nile River. The poor do not need roofs. The moonlight is a free light source. There is no need for additional oil lamps. Only places such as temples and palaces will be lit. brightly lit.

Anubis in the funerary murals maintains the shape of making mummies. Maybe the Egyptians will wrap the mummies in shrouds on the night of the full moon. After finishing the mummification, the dead will follow the "Book of the Dead" As written, follow the water of chaos to the underworld, which is a long waterway, and there are passengers on the ship, including the sun. If the dead person accidentally falls off the sun ship, he will not be able to accept the promise of Osiris. Judgment, went to Duat and was revived.

Pomona understands that it should be in a state similar to that of a pearly white ghost. It neither belongs to the world nor to the underworld. You can’t taste delicious food when you see it, but that’s not the worst thing. There are no doors on the waterway of the underworld. There are so many Karnak temples dedicated to Amon in Thebes, only 7, and a demon is guarding in front of each exquisite, gorgeous and strong door. They hold knives or less scary ears of wheat in their hands, and only the people on the solar boat have a chance to pass.

The undead who accidentally fell into the water had to find a way to re-board the ship to have a chance to get rid of the control of those demons. However, the solar ship was fully loaded every time and could not accommodate more passengers. The sun chanted the exorcism scriptures together to drive away the demons and the dead who hindered their progress.

Once the sun sinks into the water of chaos, the world of the living will never see the sun again. Its purpose in going to the underworld is to become one with Osiris, and use Osiris' regeneration power to rejuvenate. When the sun sets, the sun will It will also grow old, for which it will go to the underworld again, and jump into the well with the water of Nun, where it will become one with Osiris, and at the same time, the undead will also enter the escort of Anubis In the Double Hall of Justice, forty-two mummy-like gods holding must-haves will squat on both sides of the hall. They all have an Amat feather on their heads. The dead should identify Thoth from these gods as soon as possible.

He is easy to recognize, it has the head of an ibis, and holds a pen made of papyrus and reed, and there is also a heron on the Senet chessboard, and its position is the 28-square house of truth, where the dead are sheltered , the pieces that go to this grid cannot be replaced.

Also protected is the 29th cell of the House of Truth. Sitting in this room are the pharaohs of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. These two figures wear the white lotus head crown of Upper Egypt and the papyrus of Lower Egypt. Crown.

For centuries, the upper and lower Egyptian kingdoms have been divided. Not only are the customs and habits different, but also the beliefs are different from Lower Egypt. Upper Egypt worships Horus, and Lower Egypt worships honey and cobras. Since 3500 BC After Pharaoh Menes unified Upper and Lower Egypt, the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt overlapped and were placed on the head of Horus.

Later, every pharaoh had to hold two coronation ceremonies, one was to wear a white crown, and the other was to wear a red crown. The pharaohs all claimed that they belonged to Horus and sat on the throne of Horus. Is the agent of the sun god.

Their bodies are the product of the combination of human mothers and gods, but after the coronation ceremony, the soul of the kingship will enter the mortal body, the pharaoh is neither fully human nor fully god, he is in a special category.

If the dead can’t recognize the gods in the Hall of Double Justice, knowing the pharaohs can also get their protection. The 30th cell represents the House of Horus, and the dead needs to pass the link called the heart. For example, the dead didn’t cheat when they were alive. No one has deprived orphans of their property, done anything abominable to the gods, or taken away sacrifices from temples. The nine gods who acted as a jury approved the verdict, and then the dead could obtain eternity. If the deceased passes the test, he will be judged as a "sincere person", and Horus will bring him to Osiris, the king of the underworld. At this time, it is the turn of the deceased to speak to the "Lord of the West".

The dead person wants to prove that he has no evil deeds. Osiris officially announces that the dead person has become an Akh. Finally, the act of removing the flag from the chessboard represents that the dead person has successfully survived many dangers and moved towards the world of bliss.

In this created world, the dead can move freely, and there are many choices. For example, the dead can choose to travel with the sun god and defend him against demons and the dead. At the same time, they can mix with the stars and overlook the world. Or go jury in the Hall of Double Justice, take the form of the Nine Gods, and fool the newly dead.

Or in the Lake of Two Daggers, have a drink in peace, and then go to the turquoise stream to see the magical fish, and have nothing to do, pass the time near your own grave, and play a game of Senet with the living.

You never know what these boring old ghosts want. If you were a real oriental, you would never put the coffin in the house you live in. What about the mansion where the living live and the mansion where the dead live Can it be confused?

Westerners don’t care so much, these are treasures. Gonseil’s great-grandfather once bought some Egyptian cultural relics for 2,000 pounds, which was a huge sum of money at the time. Even during the Paris Commune, a late The dress is only 20 francs, which is already a luxury.

The Egyptian collection in the Louvre not only has the coffin of the pharaoh, but also the utensils in the temple. These things are arranged in an "artistic way", and then strange things happen.

Pomona watched Severus play chess while learning about Egypt from Gonseil.

Playing Senet not only requires skill, but also luck. When the four semi-cylindrical faces face up, it represents 6. If you throw 2 and 3, the opportunity to throw the semi-cylindrical will be left to the opponent. 1, 4, 6, the chess player can also continue to throw the half cylinder.

Now she doesn't know who to ask to bless them and give them good luck, because some of the objects of her prayers may be their opponents.

If people's greed is too strong, it will bring bad luck. Unfortunately, even if they know this, people will still do it on purpose.

Although she has always felt that it is better for boys to be competitive, being too competitive is not necessarily a good thing.

Pomona thought again of the head of Ravenclaw.

In fact, isn't she a person who judges people by their appearance? In addition to being too short, Felius was no worse than Severus, and he was also a duel champion.

It's a pity that she was bewitched by the man with the "evil eyes". On that Christmas night, she obviously didn't drink, but she was still confused... I don't know which ghost did such a tricky thing.

It is said that Shuanglu is similar to Senet Chess, but unfortunately I don’t know how to play it ╮(╯▽╰)╭
