1.

C.1332 B.C, At the crack of dawn, surrounded by four servants in the luxurious bedroom for the prince of Egypt; with many brilliant pieces of furniture each made of solid gold, gilded wood, many various jewels, semiprecious stones, and glasses in diverse colors & shapes, the 9-year-old prince Tutankhamun1 with a deformed left leg holding a gilded walking stick with the head and the upper body of a little anicent Egyptian boy-shaped decoration, let his servants dress his tiny body in the formal court wear that made of new, white linen and an Egyptian broad collar Usekh, and many bracelets; all made of solid gold, many diverse jewels, semiprecious stones, and glasses in diverse colors & shapes, his mind and heart were very immature, he was just a child who had a developing brain and a fragile soul as other normal children of his age, so he couldn understand the weird situation, besides, the too brief, short mention, and the cold demand of his stepmother, the queen of Egypt, Nefertiti2, wasn the proper help to him, therefore with not only empty but also complicated mind with the question about the reason why he must wear those many uncomfortable, heavy things, he let them dress and decorate his short, small, fragile body with those weird things, cause his instinct had already noticed that he had no power to stop them treating his prisonic body belonging to his dead father, the pharaoh of Egypt Akhenaten3 and Nefertiti, therefore those servants continued to treat him like that as Nefertiti wanted and ordered,

And six hours later, the sun was at the highest point, and at the same time under the intensity of the scorching sunlight, an enormous number of the fatigued crowd waited for their new king tediously, all of them were forced to be there by the threat of those soldiers under the power of Egyptian royals, and one per person, many court ladies all holding big baskets filled with a large number of white camomile petals and white rose petals and standing next to both sides of the platform for the coronation ceremony, were also tired by the sunlight and the heat as the crowd did, but because of those spears, Khopeshes4 and whips that those soldiers held, no one could escape from the forced situation, and at the same time, pushing his way through the crowd, a thin, young man in shabby clothes holding a small, open sack filled with diverse, small amulets each made of various, semiprecious gemstones, and normal stones, tried to sell those amulets desperately, and an elderly man in shabby clothes who were thin, weak, and sick, begged for coins and food carrying a cracked wood cane barely, and after a while, as soon as one among the government officials gave those court musicians a look all sitting next to those court ladies, they played bronze trumpets and reed flutes, and at the same time, as soon as those soldiers heard the sound, two of them dragged the young man and the old man both out of the crowd and beat them with the butts of their spears cruelly, soon before they came back to their positions in ther hurry, they trampled those mens belongings brutally while the crowd just began to cheer for the royal family; Tutankhamun, his siblings; two princes; Smenkhkare and Tutankhopesh*, six princesses; Ankhesenamun, Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Meritaten, Neferneferure, Meketaten, and Setepenre, and Nefertiti who already all approached those gilded chairs on the stage surrounding the platform,

Then soon, as soon as Tutankhamun; who was not only spoiled but also still had pureness and warmness even a bit in his immature heart, found the scene, he was shocked and directly felt sympathized with those men even a little,

”Mother, why are those soldiers beating those men? ” asked he,

”Because they hindered many subjects from cheering and praising us, so they must be beaten, every life isn equal, we
e living gods and chosen ones, and they
e worthless, unimportant savage kinds, because they weren born as royals, therefore they must call us your majesty, your highness, and perfect ones and make a deep bow to us, because they aren important and perfect, we
e important and perfect, Amun Ra* only has allowed us to live brilliantly like gold, the flash of God, not those unimportant, imperfect subjects, they don deserve to live like us, because they aren royals! ” answered she coldly,

Soon she continued to say grasping his too fragile both shoulders and staring at his too hollow, purposeless eyes,

”From now on, you aren a prince anymore, you
e the pharaoh of Egypt, you must represent our chosen privilege and power, show them your chosen body and power as their king, as their god, as their Pharaoh! ”

Therefore as his stepmother; the another poor one; who had been brainwashed by the wrong education & notion of her parents, grandparents and ancestors, ordered and desired, wearing those jewerlies made of brilliant gold and carrying the brilliant, gilded walking stick with the brainwashed mind by his good-heartless dead father and warm-heartless stepmother who both had raised him wrong like that, carefully stepping on the platform covered with many petals of white camomiles and white roses surrounded by three brilliant, golden statues of Amun Ra, Horus* and Bastet*, as soon as he showed his appearance, the crowd cheered for the new pharaoh reluctantly, soon he was overwhelmed by the loud cheers of the enormous number of subjects and those countless many peatls of white camomiles and white roses all dancing in the air brilliantly that those court laides sprinkled for the little boy king, he couldn realize that he was just a tool to continue the extravagant life of his royal family, although most of those subjects suffered by poverty and hunger, royals didn care and ate high off the hog,

After a little, the tiny, little child gave the walking stick to the nearby servant and directly sat on the brilliant, golden throne still carefully, soon as soon as his two servants finished helping him to hold the handles of The Crook and The Flail5 both made of heavy bronze covered with alternating stripes of blue glass, obsidian, and gold while the flails beads are made of gilded wood, the chief priest of the temple of Amun Ra crowned the new pharaoh with a Khepresh6, while he directly made a deep bow to him, except soldiers and court musicians, soon other priests, servants, and court ladies also all made deep bows to the new pharaoh; the immature child king, and at the same time every subject cheered loud and louder, to avoid the violence of those soldiers under the vicious order of royals,

Then while those subjects cheered loudly and other royal family members stared at their new tool, the new pharaoh, the fragile boy king haughtily, among those members of the royal family, the only one glared after the pharaoh threateningly, while the 9-year-old prince Tutankhopesh glared at his fraternal twin brother Tutankhamun accursedly, soon he clenched his right fist that grasped the deformed left leg of his one second older twin brother when they were born together, when his brother came out first, one second faster than him.
