Bliss and Servitude in Ancient Egypt.

Just how much History repeats itself is astonishing.

During the 500 years that lead up to the year of the hyenas in 1090 BC in the reign of
Ramesses the XI the Egyptian people lived a life of relative bliss. It was communal
living and the classes lived together happily and harmoniously, as is usually the case
when the threat of starvation or homelessness is no where to be found. All the food
was collected as offering to the gods. What the gods left was redistributed to the
people, and the people were grateful and satisfied. The beauty of this type of system is
that the peasant farmers had a good reason to hand over all their produce; To satisfy
the Gods and make sure the sun and water maintained the bounty of food. The
populace maintained constant interaction and every three or four days was a day of
feasting, where livestock were brought in to be sacrificed to the gods, and the left overs
shared among the people. It seems as though beer was a very common drink. Whether
this was because clean water was unavailable or not I do not know.
The year of the hyenas came and the years of cornucopia had come to an end. This lead
to corruption from the highest places first, where the priests had been used to a
certain level of living and wanted to maintain it. They began to strip the temples of
their valuable metals. The villages became tomb robbers and there was a great deal of
disharmony in Egypt. The man in charge at this terrible time was The High Priest. He ruled
Thebes, all the thousands of temple bureaucrats and everybody, with a relief showing his height was
the same as the Pharaoh. Being a priest, he had no army, so when starvation hit the area, in the year
of the hyenas, when there was really terrifying times in Thebes, he had no way of controlling the
riots that took place. So the Viceroy of ubia was brought in with his black troops, up the ile and
took control of Thebes, and liked it so much he stayed. !ight months into the year of the hyenas, the
State collapsed, a time of terrible anarchy, or perhaps we should say lawlessness. Ten years of
chaos ensued. "ing Herrihore, instigated a royal commission#s to investigate the luting that took
place during the year of the hyena. $t was the end of !gypt. %lthough they carried on for another
thousand years, the original flower was lost in the year of the hyena.
So it is today, where those in wall street are looting &ust to maintain the standard of living they have
become used to in the good years.
ow that the peasants are no longer needed, as huge planting and reaping machines which are
guided by satellite, reduce the States dependence on human labour the threat from below does not
come early but late. The peasants used to be the early warning system. 'e no longer have such a
warning system.
