Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 328: 330, 300 Years of Surprise
Alexander proclaimed himself the son of Amon in the temple, but no word came to him, because it was impossible for Amon to know all this at this time. As Artemis said, when Alexander sacrificed to him in the temple, the reintroduced god might still be a baby in swaddling, a creature wandering in the jungle, or a seed sprouting in the earth.
Even if Amon were still in heaven, he would not have sent down the message. To tell the world that there is a path beyond eternity is the last divine message of Amon God.
Alexander conquered Ehu and understood the policy of captivity to conquer the human heart. Not only did he claim to be the son of Amon, but he also ordered the construction of a new port at the entrance to the Ronnie Shen River, north of Menfis, to be named Alexander City in his own name, in order to celebrate his death. In addition, he ordered the restoration of the Temple of Isis in Alexandria, fulfilling the promise he had made to Medanzo.
Goddess Isis, though long gone, is still believed to be the Angel of the Virgin Mary in Ecu. When the temple was inaugurated, some elderly people discovered something, and the angel of the Virgin Mary on the altar was no longer what she was, and the craftsmen of Aegus sculpted her as the last Isis Temple guardian of the Virgin Mary.
The people of Egyptian had never seen Isis, and the memory of the goddess had faded, but when it came to Isis, people would think of Isis, the last guardian of the Temple of Isis, Virgin Mary, whom countless people had seen. Perhaps it was an unintentional coincidence that the artisans had incorporated Maria's image into the Isis statue that had been shaped, or that Alexander had deliberately done.
If Amon knew what the emperor was doing, at least he would have felt good about it. Alexander knew how to cage the hearts and minds of the people and how to cast spirits. The city he built was more magnificent than any other city on the continent, surpassing not only the city of Dreamfield, but also the historic city of Barron on the continent.
Alexander not only requisitioned the power of the Ecuadorian State, but also used the power of the entire Macedonian Empire to build this new city. It is a miracle on the Heavenly Pivot continent, and for hundreds of years it has also become the cultural and commercial centre of the Heavenly Pivot continent.
Alexander himself stayed in El Salvador for a year, and before Alexander's city was fully built, he led the army again. His route to this eastern expedition, in contrast to the route that Gilgamesh led to the western tournament of the Uruk Legion, crossed the border of the former Kingdom of Baron in the southern Syrian desert. On the wilderness along the banks of the River Junior, the Macedonian army fought a final showdown with the Poz army, known as Millions, led by Darius III.
At that time, the Poz Empire had lost the borders of the West Bank, like a heavily traumatized mudfoot giant, building up its final strength against the rising Macedonian Empire, but was once again completely overthrown. Alexander achieved a decisive victory, crushing the last major power of the Potts Empire, crossing the river into no-one's land and successfully occupying Barron City, the oldest and most magnificent city on the Heavenly Pivot.
Outside Barron, the Gate of the Soaring Clouds is a rubble of smoky traces, like a giant and cool monument. In the time of Gürus and Bridges, the Potts conquerors did not force the Baronians to change their faith in Marduk, but after Darius' death, his successor Xerxes practised the Great Light religion throughout Potts, ordering the burning of the Gates of God.
Alexander came to the gates of the gods by hanging ruins and publicly announced that he would repair this magnificent miracle. This was very exciting for the original people of Baron, but the project was so huge that it would only take tens of thousands of people to clear the fallen rubble and gravel of the Gate of God. The brilliant buildings that have been built for centuries and generations are easily damaged, but it is too difficult to restore them.
Alexander was merely a gesture that ultimately did not repair the Gate of God. However, he rebuilt the Temple of Marduk in Barron City and led the people personally to sacrifice to Marduk, gaining the favor of the locals and the support of a group of traditional priests. At the grand sacrificial ceremony, Alexander called himself "Son of Marduk”.
It can be imagined how solemn and sacred the occasion is, and the title "Son of Marduk” adds a sacred halo to Alexander's reign, and he is praised and revered by all. When people look up to this godly king, they must be in a state of sincerity and fear.
But Alexander's human behavior made Artemis and Mu Yun on the cloud laugh alive. They were in a heavy mood, but they couldn't help laughing when they saw Alexander in Ecu claiming to be the son of Amon, running to Baron and claiming to be the son of Marduk.
Alexander laughed at the most solemn and sacred ritual in the world, a serious comedian god. Artemis smiled and shook his head: “Who taught him this? You're not going anywhere, you're not going anywhere! ”
Alexander was indeed absent, and he studied the courtesy of the majestic Oriental Court, dressed in the costume of Emperor Potts, and received a tribute on the side of the provincial system pioneered by Gürus. The provincial districts of the Macedonian Empire generally refer to the setting of the Poz Empire. However, in comparison with the Potts era, Macedonia strengthened its sovereign rule, with the separation of the three branches of power between the military, financial and civil affairs of the local provinces in order to restrain each other.
Alexandria has also undertaken a number of reforms to promote integration among tribes throughout the Great Empire. In the hearts and minds of many in the Hilton cities and states, only the followers of the Olympus gods on the Hilton Peninsula are a civilized and enlightened people, while the rest of the world is inhabited by savages. Alexander, of course, is not such a frog at the bottom of the well, and he knows that many civilizations on the Heavenly Pivot have been more glorious than Hitton, and that the people there have extraordinary wisdom and talent.
Alexandria not only promotes this integration through the establishment of a unified provincial system, but also breaks traditional boundaries by means of inter-clan marriages and the expansion of joint military operations, which not only encompasses local nobility, but also solves the problem of troop sources. The Great Emperor was particularly keen to hold collective weddings and encouraged his generals to marry the local noble women, often at unprecedented collective weddings for every new kingdom conquered.
Alexander himself had led by example by marrying women from different tribes everywhere and, under his leadership, more than 10,000 Macedonian generals had married women from different tribes. In the tent of Alexandria were the nobles of the tribes and the priests who served him. This is an unprecedented integration, the greatest exchange of civilizations in civil society and in thousands of years.
After a full year in Barren, Alexander's army also conquered the borders of the former Assyrian Empire and continued to push eastward into the former Potts mainland. Darius III was killed by his men, and the glorious Empire of Potts died. Alexander captured the Potts rebel who murdered Darius III, executed him for the crime of tyranny, mourned Darius III in the service of the Emperor, and declared himself heir to the Potts Empire.
To date, Macedonia has completely conquered and annexed the Great Potts Empire, but the footsteps of Alexandria's crusade have not stopped, taking several years to integrate this vast empire, before leading the army to continue eastward across the Potts mainland. Here, Alexander encountered the toughest battle since the Eastern Conquest, and the Macedonian Squadron encountered the Geranium Elephant Array. The war was terrible, with heavy casualties on both sides, but eventually Alexander, the genius, triumphed.
At a time when he had established three new provinces in the West Bank of the Geranium River, the borders of the Macedonian Empire were not far from Kunlun, but they were blocking the most insurmountable plateau in the world. Alexander also wanted to continue to march eastward and conquer the whole geranium, but the army had gone too far, and the soldiers had gone to a total strange heresy for many years and had no intention of continuing this endless crusade.
There has been a change of heart and Alexander has had to temporarily retire. He split up and led his army around the Assyrian plateau, returning to Baron by road, while another navy, from the mouth of the Geranium River, returned along the coastline with the Alexander General Division, completed the greatest military initiative in the history of the Heavenly Pivot.
Artemis and Mu Yun have been watching Alexander in the cloud, trying to spot Amon in the footsteps of this great emperor's crusade. When Alexander conquered the Geranium River Basin and returned to his division, it was clear that he was still frustrated that Barren had reorganized his horses and was planning to swing back to the east one day.
Artemis and Mu Yun conceived in their hearts, if that were the time, would the Macedonian Emperor call himself the son of Brahma or even the Son of the Infinite Light? If that were the case, what would Zeus look like, angry or grinning? But it has to be admitted that the series of measures taken by Alexandria in the expansion have, to the greatest extent possible, consolidated this fast-forming empire and brought the worship of the Olympus gods to all parts of the Heavenly Pivot and even further afield.
Had Alexander lived as long as Iso, everything would have been unknown in the future, and unfortunately history had not given him such an opportunity. Shortly after his return to Barron City, a small mosquito bit the Emperor of the Mighty Continent, and he suddenly had a high malaria fever and left the world a dozen days later, not yet 33 years old.
Alexander's ambitious and short-lived life has surpassed his father, Philip II, in all its achievements, to a lesser extent, which is precisely the most lethal. He did not produce a suitable heir for himself, as Philip II did for him, but Alexander could not be blamed for the fact that he was too young at the time of his death and that his children were minors.
When Alexander dies, the Ministry will compete for power. The Great Empire will soon be divided into three parts. The former Macedonian-dominated Heaton Peninsula became the Kingdom of Macedonia, and the Heavenly Pivot continent established the Kingdom of Western Asia around the former Kingdom of Baron. When Alexander died, he inherited the crown and sceptre of Ecupharaoh. After his death, the ministry took Tolemie to Pharaoh's position and still took Amon as the main god, creating the Tolemie dynasty of Ecu. History seemed to return to its starting point.
The Olympus gods and the heavenly angels, who had not found a clue that Amon had re-entered the world, had been silently following all possible traces, but had never found anything, and Amon seemed to disappear without a trace in the dusty world.
Three hundred years later, the gods and angels still have no news of Amon in the world.
……
One morning, a group of camels came from the horizon that stretched over the end of the dunes, facing only the reflection of the sun on the gravel. This is a merchant group leaving Ecu for Barren, where they need to find a place to hide from the midday sun. There is a huge rubble between the sand dunes in front of it, with half the dome remaining at the top of the tall cylinder. It was a relic of a temple, but the altar had been submerged in sand, and the magnificent statue of Amon lay in the sand.
More than three hundred years ago, Dick's father and son became the owners of the Cape Town State, once a dependency of the Cape Town State of the Ecumenical Empire. It was in this area that the Uruk regiment led by Gilgamesh broke out with the Ecuda army led by Amon. This is an oasis on the edge of the Syrian desert, on the border of Cape Sea, where magnificent temples have been built for the gods of Amon.
As the climate changes, the oasis gradually sands, leaving only one spring eye at the foot of the hill next to the temple, which is where the merchants rest. And that small hill and the ruins of the temple by the mountain are the resting places that cover the sun, although not very comfortable, they are stronger than nothing.
Stone columns carved in divine scripture became piles of horse-strapped camels, animal dung fell on the ruins of the steps of the carved flowers, people sat in the sand and rested against the lying Amon statue, which was a giant statue falling just to shield the sun.
This temple has stood for centuries, and it has been abandoned for fifty years now. The statue lying on the sand dunes, the crumbling rubble trampled by the mule horses and the ruins of the temple became temporary camps for the merchants, indicating that the people here no longer believed in the god and completely forgot all his glory and holiness.
What the hell happened to make Amon Temple what it is today?
After Alexander's death, his ministry would divide the Great Empire and establish three States, Macedonia, Western Asia and Ecuadorian. Alexandria's ministry wore the crown of Pharaoh and established the Tolemie dynasty in Ecu, the longest of the three kingdoms.
Shortly after Alexandria's death, in the north-western part of the Macedonian Empire, another degree gradually emerged, called the Republic of Maro. It was an uncultivated wasteland in the eyes of the people of Heaton's cities and states. But under the guidance of the gods, many wise men came here. The Maroons inherited the civilization and knowledge of the Hitons and were learners and imitators.
The institutions of the Republic of Maro, largely inherited from the original Hilton cities and states, which were formerly subordinate to the tribes of the United Kingdom of Hilton, grew stronger and later established an independent State. They are also followers of the Olympus gods, and because of their language, Zeus is called Jupiter, Hera is called Juno, and the Aphrodite, who was beaten back by Amon, is called Venus here.
The Republic of Maro emerged with the spread of the Hitton civilization, the expansion of the Macedonian Empire and the integration of civilizations throughout the Heavenly Pivot continent. At that time, Alexander was leading the battle, focusing his main energies on the battlefields of Poz and Geranium, without noticing that the small Republic of Maro was growing quietly.
Until 200 years ago, the Kingdom of Macedonia was exterminated by the Republic of Maro.
And a hundred years ago, another male dominator emerged in the Republic of Maro, the Chief High Priest, the Chief Justice, the Lifelong Dictator, the Commander-in-Chief of the Legions, whose name was Caesar. Caesar started out as a governor of a province and head of a regiment, allied with two other major forces in the country, and became the consul of the Republic of Maro, ultimately monopolizing it.
When Caesar came to power, the Republic of Maro not only annexed the entire Hitton peninsula, but also opened a greater frontier to the north-west. Caesar then led the army eastward, basically occupying the territory of the former Poz Empire and pursuing the enemy south to Ecu.
At that time Ecu was in a civil unrest for the kingdom, Queen Cleopatra dived into the city of Alexandria, where Caesar was located, ordering him to wrap himself in a blanket and send him to Caesar's rest room… to become Caesar's lover.
Caesar helped Cleopatra defeat his political enemies and become the queen who ruled the entire Ecuadorian Republic, and Ecuadorian Republic. As a result, the cause of Caesar has surpassed Alexandria, and the borders of the Republic of Maro have surpassed those of the former Macedonian Empire, even wider to the west and north.
Ecu, a follower of Amon God, became the last remaining kingdom on this continent.
It is unfortunate that Queen Cleopatra did not retain the national transport of Ecu for much longer. Less than a few years later, Caesar was assassinated in the Senate of Marlowe City, and Cleopatra became the lover of Anthony, Caesar's ministry, declaring herself and the children born to Caesar to be "sons of Amon”, heirs of the Ecu kingdom.
Since the beginning of Alexandria, many people have claimed to be the son of Amon for the last three hundred years, and the last son of Amon is Queen Cleopatra and Caesar.
But it didn't last long, and Anthony was defeated by Caesar's foster home, David, and Cleopatra was captured by the Maroon army. The queen tried to repeat herself and continue to seduce Octavian, but failed to do so. Octavian was taking Cleopatra back to Marlowe as a prisoner of war and traveling the streets to show the crowd, and the queen suicided herself after the news.
The Egutolemy dynasty, which lasted almost three hundred years, was finally overthrown, and the Republic of Maro annexed Egutolemy as a province within its borders. Octavian abolished the republican title Emperor, Di Augustus, and the Republic of Maro became the Great Empire of Maro, which happened 50 years ago.
Alexandria's founding Macedonian Empire has completely dissipated itself and is submerged in the dust and gravel of history, with an unprecedented Maroon Empire emerging on the Heavenly Pivot. The Maroons practise their rule and beliefs in the provinces and believe in the Olympus gods.
The Temple of Amon, formerly inhabited in various parts of the country, was finally abandoned, and the temple in the city state had been demolished as many times as possible, and the Temple of Amon, next to the Desert Trade Road, had become such a ruin 50 years later.
