Alexander claimed to be Am¨¦ng's son in the temple, but no oracle came, because at this time Am¨¦ng could no longer know all this. As Artemis said, when Alexander sacrificed to him in the temple, the god who had returned to the world may still be an infant,
Maybe it¡¯s a creature swimming in the jungle, maybe it¡¯s a seed sprouting in the soil.
Even if Am¨¦ng is still in heaven, the oracle will not be sent down because of this. Telling the world that there is a way beyond eternal life is the last oracle of Am¨¦ng.
Alexander conquered Eju and knew how to use restraint policies to win over people's hearts. Not only did he claim to be the son of Am¨¦ng, he also ordered a new port to be built north of Mengfeisi at the mouth of the Loni River, and named Alexandria after himself to promote his unparalleled achievements. Not only that, he also ordered the rebuilding of the Temple of Isis in Alexandria, fulfilling his promise to Medanzo.
Although the goddess Isis has long since died, she is still the Virgin Angel that people believe in in Eju. When the temple was completed, some elderly people discovered something. The Virgin Angel on the altar was no longer the same as before. The craftsmen of Ecu actually sculpted her into the last Isis. The appearance of the patron saint of the temple, Saint Mary.
The people of Eju have never seen Isis, and their memories of this goddess have faded. But when talking about Isis, people will think of Mary, the last patron saint of the Isis Temple, and countless people have seen her. This may be an intentional or unintentional coincidence. The craftsmen integrated the image of Mary into the statue of Isis, or Alexander did it intentionally.
¡°If Am¨¦ng knew what the great emperor had done, he would at least have a favorable impression of him. Alexander not only knew how to win over the people, but also knew how to please the gods. The Alexandria he built was more magnificent and magnificent than any other city-state on the mainland, surpassing not only the city of Memphis, but also the historic city of Barron on the mainland.
Alexander not only requisitioned the national power of Egypt, but also used the power of the entire Macedonian Empire to build this new city-state. It is a miracle on the Tianshu Continent. In the following hundreds of years, it also became the cultural and commercial center of the Tianshu Continent.
Alexander himself stayed in Ecu for a year. Before the city of Alexandria was fully built, he once again led his troops to the east. The route of his eastward expedition was exactly the opposite of that of Gilgamesh's western expedition led by the Uruk regiment, passing through the southern part of the Syrian Desert to attack the territory of the original Kingdom of Baron. In the wilderness on the bank of the Eudy River, the Macedonian army and the million-strong Bozi army led by Darius III launched a final decisive battle.
At this time, the Bozi Empire had lost its territory on the west bank of the Youdi River. Like a severely wounded clay-footed giant, it mustered up its last strength to fight against the rising Macedonian Empire, but was once again completely knocked to the ground. Alexander achieved a decisive victory and defeated the last main force of the Boz Empire. Taking advantage of the victory, he crossed the Youdi River and successfully occupied the oldest and most glorious city of Barron on the Tianshu continent.
The towering Gate of the Gods outside the city of Barron is now a ruin covered with smoke marks, like a huge and desolate monument. In the era of Cyrus and Darius, the conquerors of Boz did not force the Baron people to change their belief in Marduk. However, after Darius died, his successor Xerxes implemented the Great Reform throughout Boz. The Illuminati Sect ordered the Gate of the Gods to be burned down.
Alexander came to pay homage to the ruins at the Gate of the Gods, and announced in public that he would restore this magnificent miracle. This made the people of the original Baron very excited, but this project was too huge. Just cleaning up the ruins and gravel from the Gate of the Gods would require tens of thousands of people to be mobilized.
It is easy to damage the splendid buildings built by generations of people for hundreds of years, but it is too difficult to restore them.
Alexander just made a gesture and ultimately did not repair the Gate of the Gods. However, he rebuilt the Marduk Temple in the city of Barron and led the people to personally offer sacrifices to Marduk, winning the favor of the locals and the support of the traditional priest group. At the grand sacrificial ceremony, Alexander called himself "the son of Marduk".
You can imagine how solemn and sacred that occasion was. The title "Son of Marduk" added a sacred aura to Alexander's rule, and he was praised and revered by all people. When people look up to this god-like emperor, they must feel frightened.
But Alexander¡¯s behavior in the human world made Artemis and Mu Yun in the clouds laugh. They were in a very solemn mood, but they couldn't help laughing when they saw Alexander first claiming to be the son of Am¨¦ng in Ecu and then claiming to be the son of Marduk in Baron.
Alexandria used the most solemn and sacred rituals on earth to seriously make the gods in heaven laugh. Arteus smiled and shook his head: "Who taught him this? I really don't see it.Outside, there is no separation! "Alexander did not show up. He learned the majestic Eastern court etiquette, put on the clothes of Boz the Great and accepted people's prostrate salutes, and followed the provincial system pioneered by Cyrus. The provinces and districts of the Macedonian Empire were roughly based on Boz. The establishment of the empire. However, compared with the Bozi era, the Macedonian era strengthened monarchical rule, and the military, financial, and civil affairs of local provinces were separated into three powers to check each other.
Alexander also carried out a number of reforms to promote the integration of tribes throughout the empire. In the minds of many people in the Greek city-states. It is believed that only the people who believe in the Olympus gods on the Heaton Peninsula are civilized people, while the rest of the people living in the peninsula are barbarians. Of course, Alexander was not such a frog in the well. He knew that the civilization on the Tianshu continent was more glorious and long-lasting, and the people there also had extraordinary wisdom and talent.
Alexander not only promoted this integration by establishing a unified provincial system, but also used methods such as marriages between tribes and the expansion of armies for joint operations to break traditional boundaries, which not only could win over local nobles, but also solve the problem of military sources. question. This emperor was particularly keen on holding collective weddings and encouraged his soldiers to marry local noble women. Every time he conquered a new country, he often held a collective wedding with unprecedented grandeur.
Alexander himself also set an example. He married women from different places. Under his leadership, more than 10,000 Macedonian soldiers married women from various tribes. In Alexander's tent, there were nobles and priests from various tribes who paid allegiance to him.
This is an unprecedented integration, among the people, and it is also the most grand exchange of civilizations in thousands of years.
Alexander rested in Barron for a year. His army also conquered the territory of the original Assyrian Empire and continued to advance eastward into the original Boz mainland. Darius III was killed by his men, and the once glorious Boz Empire fell. Alexander captured the traitor of Boz who conspired to murder Darius III and executed him for regicide. He mourned Darius III with imperial rites and declared himself the heir to the Boz Empire.
So far, Macedonia has completely conquered and annexed the great empire of Boz, but his conquests have not stopped yet. He spent several years integrating this huge empire, and then led his army to cross the mainland of Boz and continue westward into Tianzhu. Here, Alexander encountered the most difficult battle since the Eastern Expedition. The Macedonian phalanx encountered the Tianzhu elephant formation. The battle was very brutal, with heavy casualties on both sides, but in the end the genius Alexander won.
He established three new provinces on the west bank of the Tianzhu River. At this time, the territory of the Macedonian Empire was not far from Kunlun, but they were separated by the most insurmountable plateau in the world. Alexander wanted to continue marching eastward and conquer the entire Tianzhu, but the army had gone too far. The soldiers had been fighting in completely unfamiliar lands for many years and had no intention of carrying out such endless conquests again.
The morale of the army changed, and Alexander had to temporarily withdraw his troops. He divided his troops into two groups. He led his army around the Assyrian Plateau and returned to Barron by land, while the other navy set out from the mouth of the Tianzhu River and returned along the coastline to join forces with Alexander, completing the greatest military initiative in the history of the Tianshu continent. .
Artemis and Mu Yun have been following Alexander in the clouds, trying to follow the emperor's conquest route to discover traces of Am¨¦ng's reincarnation. When Alexander successfully conquered the Tianzhu River Basin and returned to the army, he was obviously still unwilling to accept it. He returned to Barron to reorganize his troops and planned to march westward one day.
Artemis and Mu Yun secretly thought in their hearts, what if the Macedonian emperor would claim to be the son of Brahma again, or even the son of infinite light? If so, what expression would Zeus have? Angry or forced smile? But we have to admit that the series of measures Alexander took during his expansion did his best to consolidate this rapidly forming empire and also brought the worship of the Olympus gods to all parts of the Tianshu continent and even more distant places.
If Alexander could live as long as Aesop, everything in the future is unknown. Unfortunately, history did not give him such an opportunity again. Shortly after he returned to the city of Barron, a tiny mosquito bit the mighty emperor of the continent. He suddenly suffered from malaria and a high fever and passed away ten days later. He was not yet thirty-three years old.
In Alexander¡¯s ambitious but short life, his achievements in every aspect surpassed that of his father Philip II, except for one thing, which was the most fatal. He failed to cultivate a suitable heir for himself as Philip II had cultivated him, but this cannot be blamed on Alexander. He died too young and his children were underage.
Once Alexander died, his generals fought for power. This great empire was soon divided into three parts. The Heaton Peninsula formerly ruled by Macedonia became the Kingdom of Macedonia, and the Kingdom of West Asia was established along the Tianshu Continent along with the former Kingdom of Baron. When Alexander was alive, he inherited the crown and scepter of the Pharaoh of Aegyu. After his death, his general Ptolemy succeeded to the throne of Pharaoh and ruled Aegyu.Am¨¦ng is still worshiped as the main god, and the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt was founded. History seems to have returned to Piaotian Literature.
The gods of Olympus and the angels in heaven have not found any clues that Am¨¦ng has returned to the world. They have been silently paying attention to all possible clues, but they have never found anything. Am¨¦ng seems to have disappeared in the vast world. Without a trace.
Three hundred years have passed, and the gods and angels still have no news that Am¨¦ng is still alive.
One morning, a group of camels came towards the horizon from the end of the continuous sand dunes. The reflection of the sun on the gravel was dazzling. This was a caravan leaving Ecu for Baron, and they needed to find a place to hide from the scorching midday sun. There is a huge ruin among the sand dunes ahead. Half of the dome still remains on the top of the towering column. It is the remains of a temple, but the altar has been submerged in the sand, and the magnificent statue of Am¨¦ng lies upside down among the sand dunes.
More than three hundred years ago, this place was once the territory of the Cape City State of the Eju Empire. Dick and his son successively became the city lords of the Cape City State. It was in this area that a fierce battle broke out between the Urudong Army led by Gilgamesh and the Eju Army led by Am¨¦ng. This place was originally an oasis on the edge of the Syrian desert and on the border of the headland. People built a magnificent temple for the god Am¨¦ng.
With the change of climate, the oasis gradually became desertified, leaving only a spring at the foot of the hill next to the temple, which was a resting place for caravans coming and going. The small hill and the ruins of the temple next to it were just resting places to block the scorching sun. Although it was not very comfortable, it was still better than having no nose at all.
The stone pillars engraved with sacred inscriptions became the stakes for people to tie their horses and camels. Animal excrement fell on the remains of the carved steps. People sat on the sand and rested against the prone statue of Am¨¦ng. The huge statue below can just block the sun.
This temple has stood for hundreds of years, and it has been fifty years since it was abandoned. The statue of the god lying on the sand dune, the collapsed gravel was trampled by mules and horses, and the ruins of the temple became a temporary camp for passing caravans, which shows that the people here no longer believe in this god and have completely forgotten all his glory and holiness.
What changes happened that made Am¨¦ng Temple become what it is today?
After Alexander's death, his generals divided the great empire and established three countries: Macedonia, West Asia, and Egypt. Alexander's general Ptolemy wore the crown of Pharaoh and established the Ptolemaic dynasty in Ecu, which was the longest-lasting among the three kingdoms.
Not long after the death of Alexander, another country gradually emerged in the northwest of the Macedonian Empire, named the Republic of Maro. In the eyes of the people of the city-states of Heaton, this place was originally an uncivilized and barbaric land. But under the guidance of the gods, many sages came here. The Maroons inherited the civilization and knowledge of the Sidonians and were learners and imitators.
The various systems of the Maro Republic generally follow the original city-states of Heaton. They were originally tribes affiliated with the Heaton Alliance, and gradually became stronger and established an independent country. They also believe in the gods of Olympus. Due to differences in languages, Zeus is called Jupiter here, Hera is called Juno, and Aphrodite, who was sent into reincarnation by Am¨¦ng, is called This place is called Venus.
The Maro Republic rose with the spread of the Hiton civilization, the expansion of the Macedonian Empire, and the integration of civilizations from all over the Tianshu continent. At that time, Alexander was leading the Western Expedition, and his main focus was on the battlefields of Bozi and Tianzhu. He did not even notice that this small Maro Republic was quietly growing.
Until two hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Macedonia was destroyed by the Maro Republic.
A hundred years ago, another powerful ruler appeared in the Maro Republic, the chief high priest, chief justice, lifelong dictator, and commander-in-chief of each legion. His name was Caesus.
Caesor started out as a provincial governor and army commander. He formed an alliance with the giants of the other two major forces in the country, became the consul of the Maro Republic, and eventually took over all the power.
After Caesar took power, the Maro Republic not only annexed the entire Heaton Peninsula, but also opened up a larger territory to the northwest. Kaishu led his army east again, basically occupying the territory of the former Boz Empire, and pursued the enemy southward to Ecu.
At that time, Egypt was in the midst of civil strife over the struggle for the throne. Queen Cleopatra sneaked into Alexandria where Caesar was located, ordered someone to wrap herself in a blanket, and sent her to the room where Caesar was resting Caesar's lover.
Caesar helped Cleopatra defeat her political opponents and became the queen who ruled the entire Eju, and Eju also became a vassal state of the Maro Republic. At this point, Caesar's achievements have surpassed Alexander's, and the territory of the Maro Republic has completely surpassed the original Macedonian Empire, and even extended wider to the west and north.
Eju, who believed in the god Am¨¦ng, became the last remaining kingdom on this continent.
It is a pity that Queen Cleopatra did not save Egypt's national destiny for longer. Within a few years, Caesar was assassinated in the Senate of Maro City, and Cleopatra became Caesar's general again. Anthony's lover, and declared that the child he had with Caesar was the "son of Am¨¦ng" and the heir to the Kingdom of Eju.
Since Alexander, many people in history have claimed to be the son of Am¨¦ng, and the last "son of Am¨¦ng" was actually the son of Queen Cleopatra and Caesar.
But the good times did not last long. Antony was defeated and committed suicide by Caesar's adopted son Octavian, and Cleopatra was also captured by Maro's army. The queen tried to repeat her old tricks and continue to have Octavian, but failed. Octavian wanted to take Cleopatra back to Maro as a prisoner of war and parade her through the streets. The queen also committed suicide after hearing the news.
The Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt, which lasted for nearly three hundred years, finally fell. The Maro Republic annexed Egypt and made it a province in its territory.
Octavian abolished the republic and proclaimed himself emperor. The emperor was named Augustus, and the Maro Republic became the Maro Empire. This happened fifty years ago.
The Macedonian Empire established by Alexander completely disappeared and was submerged in the dust and gravel of history. What emerged on the Tianshu Continent was an unprecedented Maro Empire. The Maroons promoted their rule and beliefs in various provinces and believed in the Olympian gods.
The original Am¨¦ng temples in various places in Egypt were finally abandoned, and all the temples in the city-state had been demolished. The Am¨¦ng temple next to the desert business road has become such a ruin fifty years later. ! .
