An Excerpt from: Eye of the Pharaoh, Chapter 20: Copyright 1990-1995 MJC:
The next day I laid down upon the ancient platform in the
burial chamber of that great pharaoh, holding the ring with its magical
powers. In my hands I held my original
scepters of power, the crook and flail (taken from the museum under direct
order). I concentrated on the ring as
Ankhesenamon stood by me and watched curiously.
Soon, the entire chamber was engulfed by green light. I concentrated upon my feelings of my past; I
thought about all those people I knew and who served me. I probably didn't take much interest about
them back then, but now I was upset that I didn't acquire a better relation
with them. Nevertheless, I thought about everyone who I had met during
my time as pharaoh (what I called "per-aa"), and all those who lived
in Kemti.
The energy
surrounding me pulsed with activity as I was now in deep thought. As I later discovered, all the mummies of the
ancient world rose up from their glass cases and flew from their captivity as
wings sprouted from their bandaged bodies.
They looked like giant butterflies, storming in clusters and entering
the war machines, which later charged through enemy lines. Their instructions came from me as I lay near
the sarcophagus of a great ruler. I
controlled their thoughts easily, and I also concentrated on falcons, which
flew above them so that I could oversee their progress.
The next day,
Libya surrendered at the hands of my "spirit brigade". I ordered my troops to collect all foreign
vehicles for use on our side, against Syria.
Over the next
month, the nations of Syria, Libya, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Turkey (where
Hittites used to be), Lebanon and Jordan
succumbed to the power of the ancients under my declaration. The nations of Israel and Sudan were united
with Egypt by their own accord. Saudi
Arabia took no part in this activity, however.
I ordered that
all conquered lands be united with
Egypt to form an empire. This empire was
labeled "The United Egyptian Imperial-Republic," and the national
flag was composed of many smaller sections, each of which constituted the
original nation's flag. Egypt's flag was
once again green with a crescent moon and three stars, with the added insignia
of ancient Egypt: the scepter of Ptah encircled by waves of fire and
water. The scepter emerged from a blue
Lotus flower, and above was seven four-pointed stars.
The manner of
government is the following: ministers are over each section or city, Prime
ministers over each ten ministers.
Vice-presidents control each former country, while four
"pharaohs" control four combined regions with a vice-emperor for
every two pharaohs. At the apex is the
Supreme Pharaoh or emperor of the entire realm.
The emperor will be chosen by a two-thirds vote of a congress of ten
representatives. The emperor will
appoint each vice-emperor. Each pharaoh
will be elected by a secret ballot by the Prime ministers who in turn are
elected by the ministers. The ministers
are thus chosen directly from the people,
as are the ten selected representatives.
Well, something like that.
