Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 273 Egyptian Goddess Astarte

The city of Memphis.

This city located in the southern part of the Nile Delta was the capital of the Egyptian Empire.

The current nominal owner of this city is Ankhesenamun, who ruled the Egyptian Empire as a co-ruler with Tutankhamun.

She is not only a princess of the pharaoh family, but also the wife and sister of the deceased pharaoh Tutankhamen.

There are so many princesses in the Pharaoh royal family. She will be a candidate for intermarriage within the Pharaoh royal family because she inherited her mother's status as the highest priestess and is the daughter of a god who serves Amon, the king of gods.

The heir she gives birth to will be the deified son of God.

No matter how the pharaohs deified themselves, real power always came from strength.

Without the strength to support power, even if Pharaoh Tutankhamun was the highest male priest who was deified as the son of God, and Ankhesenamun was the highest priestess who was deified as the daughter of God, they would inevitably become puppets and even be manipulated by powerful officials. Their life and death.

Now Ankhesenamun is nominally the sole master of the imperial capital city of Memphis and the entire Egyptian empire. In fact, the powerful minister Ayin II is the real ruler.

In the original trajectory of fate, Ankhesenamun's plan to use the Western Empire to fight against Ayin II failed. Ayin II and his court minister Horemheb became the last two pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.

Ayin II and Horemheb became the last two pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty, and their successor Ramses I became the founder of the 19th Dynasty. This was because the dynastic changes in the Egyptian Empire were not initiated by the pharaoh family. The change was decided, but by the change of the King of the Gods of Egypt.

Ayin II and Horemheb came from southern Egypt like the current pharaoh families, and were supporters of Amon, the king of gods from southern Egypt.

Ayin II and Horemheb became pharaohs, which did not change the status of Amun, the king of the Egyptian gods. Therefore, Ayin II and Horemheb were the pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty under the guardianship of Amun.

Ramses I became Pharaoh and established Ra, the sun god of northern Egypt, as the protector of the country and king of the gods.

Because the king of the Egyptian gods changed, the 19th Dynasty, guarded by the sun god Ra, became a new dynasty different from the 18th Dynasty.

The largest palace next to the Pharaoh's palace was the palace of the powerful minister Ayin II.

At this time, Ayin II's right-hand man, Horemheib, hurried into the palace hall.

Ayin II, who was holding a celebration banquet with many court officials, immediately asked Horenheib.

"My child, what happened to make you so alarmed?"

Horemheb was not the son of Ayin II.

But in real history, after Ayin II usurped the throne, he made Horemheb his successor, which proved that they were probably related, and even Horemheb was the son-in-law of Ayin II.

"Ramses I is dead!"

Horemheb said with a flustered expression.

"He is my vassal and the chief general of Kadeshic City."

Upon hearing the news, Ayin II said with a faint smile.

"The death of a Northern Egyptian is not bad news. After all, these Northern Egyptians are getting stronger and stronger. If we don't find a way to suppress them, the Northern Egyptians are likely to usurp the throne and let their sun god Ra replaced our southern Egyptian sun god Amon.”

[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】

In the original fate, Horemheb, a southern Egyptian who supported the sun god Amun, let Ramses I, a northern Egyptian who supported the sun god Ra, succeed to the pharaoh throne.

It is enough to show that the southern Egyptians are no longer able to rule the northern Egyptians.

In fact, the imperial capital of the Egyptian Empire was originally the city of Thebes in southern Egypt.

The city of Memphis is only a military center second only to Thebes.

During the reign of Tutankhamun, the Southern Egyptians moved their imperial capital to the city of Memphis in order to suppress the powerful Northern Egyptians.

In order to fight against the Western Empire, the Southern Egyptians had to reuse the Northern Egyptians militarily, but in their hearts they regarded the Northern Egyptians as enemies.

As a southern Egyptian, Horemheb certainly would not really care about the death of Ramses I.

"Lord Ayin, the person who killed Ramses I was Prince Xitai. After the previous Prince Xitai was killed by us, the Xitai people not only did not launch a war against us in retaliation, but instead sent a new prince. It seems that the Xitai people They have made up their mind to let their prince marry Ankhesenamun and become the pharaoh.”

"The Xitai people sent a new prince, and the new Xitai prince also killed Ramses I?"

Ayin II, who had gray hair, stopped his smile and said with a frown.

"I was already prepared to get rid of the unyielding Ankhesenamon after the Xitai Empire launched a war, and then legitimately became the pharaoh. Unexpectedly, the Xitai Empire did not launch a war, preventing us from getting rid of Ankhesena. "

Ankhesenamun took the initiative to enter into a marriage alliance with the Xitai Empire. If the marriage failed and the Xitai Empire launched a war against the Egyptian Empire, Ayin II could make Ankhesenamun the culprit of the war.

Now things have developed unexpectedly, A Yin II said with a vicious expression.

"Anyway, we have already killed one Prince Xitai, so killing another one is no big deal. Horemheb, you immediately arrange for someone to kill the new Prince Xitai. Afterwards, we can just let the family of Ramses I bear the burden of killing Prince Xitai." "Crime."

Horemheb nodded, and then said with a solemn expression.

"Lord Ayin! Although I don't know the specific circumstances of why Prince Xitai killed Ramses I, Ramses I was the favored son of the sun god Ra of the Northern Egyptians. The new Prince Xitai can kill Ramses I , I’m afraid it won’t be easy to deal with him.”

"In our Egyptian empire, the Egyptian gods are the masters. The Sun Queen and Moon Queen of the Xitai people can't protect the Xitai prince at all. Ramses I was killed by the Xitai prince because he foolishly worshiped Ra and failed to win the favor of the public. The protection of Amon, the King of Gods.”

A few days later.

Outside Memphis.

When Luo Yin and twelve Xitai cavalry approached the capital of the Egyptian Empire, a heavily armed infantry regiment of 500 people surrounded Luo Yin and others.

"People of Xitai, you killed the noble Ramses I, the son of Ra, and now the family of Ramses I wants to avenge him."

The infantry general riding a war horse issued a declaration of revenge and led his soldiers to attack Luo Yin and others. Luo Yin summoned the divine spear with his right hand and rushed towards the infantry general.

At the moment when the two war horses crossed each other, Luo Yin penetrated the neck of the infantry commander with his divine spear.

After the infantry general turned into a corpse and fell to the ground, Luo Yin said loudly while leading twelve Xitai cavalry to attack the surrounding Egyptian soldiers.

"Egyptians, immediately lay down your arms and surrender. I am the Prince of Xitai who will marry Ankhesenamun, and I am the pharaoh who will rule all Egyptians. Don't be stupid to resist me, I am the fierce war goddess Astarte Beloved Son of God, you cannot defeat me.”

If Luo Yin used the Sun Queen and the Moon Queen to scare the Egyptians, it might not have any effect.

Because most Egyptians have never heard of the Sun Queen and Moon Queen of the Xitai Empire.

Astarte is a localized foreign god.

Luo Yin used the name of Astarte to intimidate the Egyptians so that they could correctly understand that Luo Yin was the son of God.
