Ankh , Ra and Eden

What "fish trapped " What the fish are you talking about ' James spoke. James looked at the king with the horrified reaction as if he knew he will be stuck there forever. Well, my dear, we are the rulers of this area and you were taken as hostage , My kingdom till the south of Cairo to North of sunset by the blessing of Neil, I shall kill you and your filthy plans to take over the ankh of a Ra

(eazizatay aleaziz raea alraja' qabul eurudina lak) The ruler said in an ancient language

What is that supposed to mean, I don't know Arabic, the king laughed and bounced from his throne let me tell you a story ...

The sun-god of Annu, he became a state deity in the Fifth Dynasty. Some traditions made him the creator of men, and the Egyptians called themselves "the cattle of Re".

His name is thought to mean "creative power", and as a proper name "Creator". He was identified with Horus, who as a falcon-god represented the loftiness of the skies. He was represented as a hawk-headed man or as a hawk. A combination of the two, Ra-Hoor-Khuit, "Re, who is Horus of the Horizons" showed the two as manifestations of the singular Solar Force.

He was the father of Shu and Tefnut, grandfather of Nut and Geb, great-grandfather of Osiris, Seth, Isis, Nephthys and great-great-grandfather of Horus.

Seeing as that the sun was a fire, then we believed that to travel through the waters of heaven and the underworld, one required a boat and so Re travelled in one. In the day, the boat was a great galley known as "Madjet" ("becoming strong") that arose in the east from behind "Manu" the mountain of sunrise and passed between two sycamores. As the sunset, the boat Reused was a small barge called "Semektet" ("becoming weak").

The course that the boat took was determined by the goddess Ma'at. During his travels, he had plenty of company. Several gods took the journey with him and their job was to help navigate the boat and thus make it's passage successful. Thoth and Ma'at stood on either side of Horus, who steered the boat and was also apparently the captain of the ship. In front of the boat swam two pilot fishes known as "Abtu" and "Ant". Other passengers include Geb, Hu, Sia (intelligence) and Hike (magic). At night the god Upuaut (the Opener of Ways) stood a the prow.

The journey was not an easy one though. Monsters would constantly try to stop the boat. Among these were Sebau, Nak, and Apep. Apep was the most powerful of these. He was a personification of darkness and Re had to fight him successfully every morning before he could rise from the east. Apep was pictured as a serpent or as a crocodile. Alternately, either Thoth or Seth defended the barque against him. When Apep was successful, stormy weather would ensue. A solar eclipse occurred when Apep swallowed the barque. These spells were recited daily in the temple of Amon-Re in Thebes.

In later periods when Isis and Osiris overtook him in popularity, he remained "Re retjer-aa neb-pet" ("Re, the great God, Lord of Heaven") whether worshipped in his own right or later on, as half the Lord of the Universe, Amon-Re.

But 7 years back one of the gods gift has travelled back again to my kingdom which I cannot afford at any cost,

With Heavy sigh, James asked " But how you know that the gods' gift has travelled to Egypt and how you know I am here to take it back "

Well you were not the alone

The king flinched towards the slave and they pulled a Royall canva to the scene and that light which emerged out of it was magnificent to watch,

The ankh is a gift too and once in 100 years it started glowing this only happens when in contact with another and I guess Eden theif is trying to collect all the gifts

and if he does so the world will turn into chaos as we speak

"Oh My God " Fine if you want me to be your hero, I will be but can I have something to eat before
