Reversing Greek Mythology

Cardie Stone City.

This was the front line of the Egyptian Empire's fight against the Western Empire.

The commander of the army stationed here was Ramses I, the founder of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, and he was also the grandfather of Ramses II.

However, the current Ramses I was still a vassal of Horemheb, the court minister of the powerful Ayin II.

On this day, the Egyptian soldiers in Kadesh City patrolled the city wall as usual, guarding against the enemy that might appear from the north.

The reason why the defenders of Kadesh City were so nervous was because not long ago, Ramses I's commander Horenheb followed the orders of the powerful minister Ayin II and killed Prince Xitai. The Xitai Empire would definitely use this reason to launch a war.

Luo Yin rode a white horse and led twelve Xitai cavalry to the outside of Kadeshic City. He saw that the defenders of Kadishic City were all ready for battle, but they did not attack Luo Yin and others directly.

After all, Luo Yin and others only have thirteen people and thirteen horses in total. It is obviously impossible for them to attack the city. They are more like envoys coming to declare war.

After Ramses I learned the news and climbed onto the city wall, Luo Yin took the initiative to speak to Ramses I on the city wall.

"Egyptians, open the gates to me immediately. This is the order of the Pharaoh who will rule over all Egyptians. I am the prince of the Western Empire and the husband of your princess Ankhesenamun."

Upon hearing Luo Yin's words, Ramses I's expression immediately changed.

The Xitai Empire killed a prince, but instead of launching a war in retaliation, it sent another prince.

Could it be that the Xitai Empire is really naive and stupid, thinking that by letting Prince Xitai marry Ankhesenamun, a puppet princess with no real power, Prince Xitai can rule the Egyptian Empire as a pharaoh——

Just when Ramses I hesitated to open the city gate, Luo Yin suddenly picked up a bow and arrow from the horseback of a Xitai cavalry, aimed at Ramses I, and shot an arrow directly at Ramses I.

Whoosh!

The arrow shot by Luo Yin missed and pierced into the forehead of Ramses I with a sound of breaking through the air.

After Ramesses I turned into a dead man and fell, Luo Yin said in an angry tone.

"I am the pharaoh who will rule all Egyptians, and I am the future husband of your princess Ankhesenamun. Your lord-general dares to ignore the authority of the pharaoh. This is a blasphemy against the authority of the royal family and the gods. Now your lord-general I have already punished you for blasphemy against the royal family and the gods. If the others do not want to die, please open the city gate immediately. "

Murder Prince Xitai and prevent Prince Xitai from becoming the husband and pharaoh of Ankhesenamun——

This conspiracy is of course a secret known only to a few.

After Ramesses I was killed, those low-level officers and ordinary soldiers who could only obey orders certainly did not dare to resist the orders of Luo Yin, the future pharaoh.

Therefore, the gate of Kadeshicheng was quickly opened for Luo Yin.

In this way, Luo Yin led twelve Xitai cavalrymen through Kadesh City and headed for Memphis, the capital of the Egyptian Empire.

"You killed an incredible big shot!"

Aphrodite's figure descended from the sky, flew in front of Luo Yin and said.

"The person you killed was the demigod son of the sun god Ra. His family ruled a powerful city-state in northern Egypt."

"The current king of the gods in Egypt is the sun god Amon, not the sun god Ra. Even if I kill Ra's son of the god, I don't have to worry about Ra's revenge."

Luo Yin teased with a smile.

"Aphrodite, I am in the Egyptian Empire now. If you enter the world of Egyptian mythology at will, aren't you worried that the Egyptian gods will attack you?"

"Who is Aphrodite? She is the real Egyptian goddess Astarte. As a pillar of the Egyptian gods, of course I don't have to worry about being regarded as an intruder."

Hearing Aphrodite's answer, Luo Yin rolled his eyes and said.

"Although when the West Semites ruled northern Egypt, you did become localized and became one of the Egyptian gods. But after the West Semites were expelled, your status in the Egyptian pantheon was no different from that of the invaders."

"Then are you willing to help me restore my lofty status as the most powerful goddess in Northern Egypt?"

As civilizations of the Bronze Age, even though the Western Empire and the Egyptian Empire were nominally a unified empire, they were actually still a loose alliance of city-states.

The so-called king is just the leader of the city-state alliance.

From the changes in the status of the Egyptian gods, we can see the nature of the Egyptian empire in the city-state era.

About two hundred years ago, after the West Semitic people conquered northern Egypt with their gods, the storm god was mixed with the native Egyptian god Set and became the king of the gods in northern Egypt.

As the sister of the Storm God, Astarte gained the status of the strongest goddess in Northern Egypt.

After Southern Egypt conquered Northern Egypt with their sun god Amun, the sun god Amun became the king of the gods throughout Egypt.

In the original destiny trajectory, Ramesses I, the son of the sun god Ra, a noble city-state in northern Egypt, became the pharaoh, and the sun god Ra replaced Amon and became the king of the gods in Egypt again.

Aphrodite seduced Luo Yin in a charming voice.

"If you really become the Pharaoh of Egypt, you can reset the status of the gods. But it is easier to support a local Egyptian god than to let the Sun Queen and Moon Queen of the Western Empire rule over the Egyptian gods. Let the humans and gods of Egypt accept it. And I, Astarte, happen to be a localized foreign god. If you can help me restore my identity as the strongest goddess, and even let me replace Amon as the queen of the gods, I will do my best to help you.”

"I helped you become the Queen of the Gods of Egypt - why should I do this for you?"

"You said that you are my biological husband! Isn't this the best reason for a husband to help his wife? As long as you promise me, I will use the power of the God of Love to make Ankhesenamon fall in love with you crazily. I am willing to do it for You give everything. Without Ankhesenamun's cooperation, you can only become the pharaoh in name only, and the tool for having children with Ankhesenamun."

In the history of ancient Egypt, there were many female pharaohs, or co-rulers with status equivalent to female pharaohs.

This is because the pharaoh family has been deifying the pharaoh as a male priest and the princess as a female priest in order to rule.

In order to prevent the princess, who was a priestess, from marrying someone else and becoming a tool for others to usurp the Pharaoh's throne, the Pharaoh royal family had been engaging in intermarriage within the family for a long time.

Perhaps because her husband and brother Tutankhamun was still young, Ankhesenamun was unmarried and was only Tutankhamun's nominal wife.

But in the past and future history, almost every generation of the Pharaoh family will have examples of intermarriage within the family and the birth of children.

The high level of intermarriage within the pharaoh's family is proof of the immense power of the deified priestess princess.

So as Aphrodite said, without Ankhesenamun's cooperation, Luo Yin could only become the nominal pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire and a tool to help Ankhesenamon give birth to children.

After all, Luo Yin is just a foreigner. Luo Yin and Ankhesenamun rule Egypt as co-rulers. The Egyptians will definitely choose to obey Ankhesenamun's orders.
