The genuine romance between Egypt's "first woman" and Ramses II millennia prior

The true love between Egypt's "first lady" and Ramses II thousands of years ago

Once upon a time, several novels about the love stories of Egyptian pharaohs became popular all over the country. How many girls were immersed in them and couldn't help themselves? I remember that at that time, our professional Mushroom Liang was crazy infatuated with the history of ancient Egypt, together with the archaeological information about Egypt. They were all ransacked by them (...well, we), all day long, immersed in the Rosetta monument and hieroglyphs staring at the exotic paintings, it seems that the next moment I can go back to the Queen of the Nile thousands of years ago. , But after watching it for a month, I still love freedom so bohemian. So, fiction belongs to fiction and fantasy belongs to fantasy. In real Egyptian history, what kind of pharaoh was Ramses II? Is his emotional story as romantic as those described in the novel? Who are his "Ye Yin" and "Ivy"? Ramses II in history is more well-known than in online novels. The famous pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt is also the greatest and legendary pharaoh of ancient Egypt. The name, not only because of the great military exploits but also because of the amazing longevity, all things worshipped. Ramses II’s life spanned the prosperity and glory of the entire new kingdom of Egypt. His long rule also gave this beautiful and ancient land. Brought unprecedented prosperity. In contrast, he is not so much a king as he is a symbol and reputation of Egypt, a glow that never fades along the Nile River. Ramses II was born in BC1303 and died in BC1213. Readers who are now silently calculating must have come up with a scary number, yes, at the age of 90. This number is not too rare for today’s point of view, but in Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, when food was basically relied on asking people to heal illnesses and basically relied on asking God, the average life expectancy-the price of friendship was only 40 years old. It is equivalent to we live more than 150 years old today. This was really a god that the entire nation had never seen before! Ramses succumbed to the death of his former opponents and political opponents who opposed him. At the same time, his wife and his children, and grandchildren also succumbed to death. So this emperor has accepted 8 queens, countless concubines, more than 100 children, and killed 12 princes who were preparing to inherit the throne. However, these numbers do not mean that he is a fickle man. On the contrary, for such a great ruler who is almost deified, the story behind him must be extraordinarily mysterious and charming because of his legend, and this brilliant pharaoh Your Majesty, in the few clues of historical materials that did not disappoint, he showed us the warmth and tenderness of his iron and blood halo. In 1279 BC, the 25-year-old Ramses ascended to the throne of the Egyptian pharaoh. At that time, he was energetic and brave, and he was often accompanied by the nobles of Upper Egypt who married him at the age of 15. The daughter of descendants, Nefertari, this noblewoman brought glory and the foundation of rule to the Ramses family born in the Lower Egyptian Delta. From this, it can be judged that the original combination of this woman and Ramses maybe It is not because the two love each other, but because of the political purpose of consolidating the regime. However, unexpectedly, Ramses has always loved this politically married girl. Her name "Nefir Tari", which means the most beautiful woman, probably gave the young pharaoh her charm and beauty. Fatal temptation. According to legend, Ramses II built a wonderful lotus pond for Nefertari. The bottom of the pond is covered with colorful peridot. When the lotus blossoms in the evening, the flowers are graceful and graceful and sway in the wind, and they are as beautiful as a fairy. In the evening breeze, the princess bathed in precious medicinal petals and rested. As time passed, when she passed away to the west, her chest was still full and firm, graceful and charming like a girl. In Egypt, such a beautiful and flawless first lady has unquestionably conquered the hearts of all the subjects. She is called "the most beloved", "owner of charm, sweetness, and love", "up and down Egypt". goddess". Her lover, the great monarch with a reputation for thousands of years, also wrote such touching love words for her: "The sun rises because of you, and I have a unique love in my heart. She is irreplaceable. She stole my heart just as soon as she passed by. If she leaves, my heart will also go with her. " To this day, these words still make us thousands of years later stunned. Imagine the remote and mysterious ancient Egypt. The greatest and noble pharaoh confided his sincerity to his lover so softly, it is beyond description in any brushstrokes. Touching. However, it is a pity that we cannot appreciate the true face of such a beautiful pharaoh's favorite concubine today. Her mausoleum was stolen from a long time ago, and the mummy was completely unrecognizable, and it is really difficult to recover.

Speaking of her mausoleum, it is even more brilliant (the mausoleum of the new kingdom is no longer a pyramid, but a rock tomb. The pyramid is the most prosperous in the ancient kingdom). About 30 years when Ramses II was in power, this woman who was deeply infatuated by the pharaoh came to the end of her life because since then, she has never been seen in the murals and carvings of ancient Egypt. I know that before this, Nefertari and Ramses II were always inseparable in the scenes of various ceremonies. After the death of Nefertari, he was grandly buried in the Valley of the Queens in Egypt, where dozens of Egyptian pharaohs’ pharaohs were sleeping there, but no princess’s tomb could rival that of Nefertari. It was a tomb. In the exquisite resting place, the pharaoh injected his nostalgia into the entire process of building the tomb. After the beloved princess left, the fearless king who galloped on the battlefield was extremely sad, and he was even more frantically engaged in construction. In Abu Simbel, he built a magnificent and unusually huge temple for himself, the Temple of Abu Simbel, where there are huge statues of Ramses and the Egyptian god Amun, and each pharaoh’s own statue is next to it, there is a small relief from the tower of Nefertah, nestling closely with the Pharaoh, never separated. Not only that, just 50 meters away from the Temple of Abu Simbel, there is a temple belonging to Nefertari, built by Ramses II specifically for his deceased wife, and named it "Ha The Temple of Sol". "Hathor" is the goddess of Egypt, symbolizing the wife of the day sun god, elegant and noble, respected by all people, in the main hall of the temple-Hathor Temple, Ramses II, and Nefertari The statue sits quietly, and the most surprising thing is that the two statues are actually the same height, and the pharaoh gave this woman an equal status with himself! Such a unique lofty status and emperor's favor are rare in the history of the world after male dominance, let alone in ancient Egypt more than 3000 years ago, this great and proud pharaoh. And the reason why this huge temple was built in Abu Simbel, which was sparsely populated at the time, some scholars claim that was because it was the only way for the Nubians to reach Egypt, and it was a way for the pharaoh to show off his power, but more people (including me) are more willing to believe because Abu Simbel is the birthplace of Nefertari... Temple of Hathor To this day, walking in the bright sunshine of Aswan, we can still look up at Ramses II and his beloved wife. The two beautiful temples of the millennium are the most domineering way of Pharaoh Ramses to the world. "Showing love", this Chi Guoguo’s happiness has been 3,000 years after the sun, countless generations later, the legend that the empress never grows old, Ramses II and Nefertari were for the Egyptians. , Is not only history but also beliefs, signs, and totems! Nefertari gave Ramses four sons and two daughters before and after, but they failed to inherit the throne. The reason is simple. The father lived too long and the son died before he lived. Therefore, Ramses II seems to have been choosing heirs. He later accepted at least seven queens. One of them was the Xitai princess sent by the other party after competing with Xitai for hegemony. However, this pharaoh has always had many wives and concubines. But most of them are foreign hostages or simply add people to show the king's masculine "tool", and it is hard to see his tender love for Nefertari. This woman made Ramses eternal, and only a thousand years later, Cleopatra VII of the Ptolemaic dynasty (Cleopatra) regained the brilliance that she dared to compare with her. Even though the crossing and rebirth in the novel are fake. However, the evidence given to us by historical materials and ancient documents can also vaguely outline the marriage of Ramses II, the pharaoh's famous pharaoh through the ages. Nefertari accompanied Ramses for decades before they slept together in the rocks on the banks of the Nile for thousands of years. The Egyptians believe in underground rebirth, so the temples of the pharaoh and the queen are close at hand, looking at each other from a distance, and occasionally looking back, it is a heavy memory of thousands of years.
