- Kingship descended from the sky, and then shifted continuously.
The old king was defeated, and the new king was honored by the city-states, so the kingship was transferred to him.
And in this fertile city-state of Lagash on the banks of the Tigris River, a powerful revival plan began to be implemented by a monarch named Gudea, whose name means "one called by God to rule." .
Therefore, trade was reopened, copper was smelted, clay was fired, more than 15 temples were built, water conservancy facilities were built, agricultural production was restored, and refugees were gathered to work. , restored prosperity.
The people of Lagash call him the Great, and the title given to him is "The Just Shepherd". There are dozens of city-states and villages that support him, and even people from neighboring civilizations such as Elam. According to the total population data reached two hundred thousand.
As a result, countless Sumerian city-states gradually embarked on the road of revival, and this land is fighting fiercely against the current dark age.
Now, Gudea already knew and understood some things.
The title of King of the Four Kingdoms of the World is false, but to rule the vast land in front of him and realize the revival of the ancient Sumerians, the appearance of the King of the East in front of him is an important opportunity for him to rise.
The other party came here across thousands of mountains and rivers, not just for the simple purpose of drawing a map.
And the answer that Naboo went to the east to seek is in the king of the other world in front of him.
As for the authenticity and falsity of the map drawn by the other party, King Gudea did not have many doubts. After all, the first map is enough to dispel many doubts. There is no such real and accurate map in this world.
As for whether the other party is really the King of the East, one or two things may be known from the follow-up conversation. At least he really knows the code of the red sheep mentioned by Naboo. If he has not met Naboo, it is impossible to know. this sentence.
Because there are no red sheep in the world.
The far east is too far away from here, even the land of Great Xia is a long way from Elam, that place is desert and saline-alkali land, and it is difficult for ordinary mortals to survive there.
Moreover, on the land marked as Great Xia, there is only one city-state mark, which is obviously the limit territory governed by the people of the East, so there is no conflict between the two sides' territories.
Coincidentally, Yu Zai also expressed that he came for the city-state of Lagash. Gudea thought in his heart that it was really recommended by Naboo. He did not forget the agreement between the two parties. When Naboo left, the ruler The people here are still the king of the previous generation, Ur Baba.
Therefore, he used his own etiquette to meet the other party sincerely and solemnly, and Gudeya was also very interested in the etiquette of the concubine.
The most important thing now is to learn their language by yourself, or ask the king of the East to learn his own language.
Gudea deeply understands that he is just the king who rules Lagash. Even though the people in many small towns and villages around him support him and are willing to survive under his rule, how can he compete with the real "King of the World and the Four Quarters" in front of him? "In comparison, I am as small as the king of ants.
He wants to know what the development of the other party's civilization looks like.
He even wanted to know how the other party ruled such a huge land.
Judging from the range covered by the dotted line, this is by no means a one-time achievement, but the result of long-term changes, attacks, and integration.
The huge land represents that the other party has a huge population. Gudeya can't imagine, how many people does the other party have now?
Is it one million, or ten million, or ten million?
In the current era, under the current situation, even if the other party's level of civilization is equivalent to the period of Uruk's rule in the past, it is impossible to supervise such a huge territory.
Either, the other party has a more advanced system, or the other party has a more advanced civilization and technology.
No matter which one it is, it is what I need now.
Gudeya is very sincere, because he is even eager to be taught by the King of the East in front of him. He has already brewed many questions in his mind. Unfortunately, the things that can be communicated by gestures are limited after all.
Gudea asked the chariot to board his chariot, and then he walked up and let the driver of the chariot leave. He personally took the reins of the chariot, and as the driver himself, he wanted to welcome the chariot into Lara. Gersh.
He didn't know that this is called "leading the horse and holding the pedal" in the East. It is the expression of respect for the corporals when the king welcomes the sages. It can only be said that there are similar behaviors and etiquette everywhere.The reason why civilization is civilization, one of the very important points is to understand "etiquette".
Di Jiang and Shen Niu followed behind, while Gu Gu looked around on Yu Zai's head.
The huge earthen platform that was built is Lagash. After several generations of kings' repairs and expansions, the city-state of Lagash has returned to its former appearance, and has gained a firm foothold in the current dark age, even giving other city-states A glimmer of hope for a new era.
Here is a city of hope that dispels darkness.
? Sumerian cities brought people together, shared a language, controlled specific areas, and their social classes were very distinct.
Nobles, priests, etc. form relatively wealthy rulers;
Merchants, craftsmen, ordinary soldiers, etc. constitute the middle class;
Peasants and slaves constituted a relatively lower class.
However, in Lagash City, the status of farmers is equal to that of workers and soldiers. The importance of food is self-evident. After experiencing the turmoil of the Dark Ages, barley has become an important transaction and strategic material, and the status of farmers has naturally risen.
The temple is the most prosperous and busiest place. Walking priests can be seen everywhere in the city-state. People¡¯s clothing is wrapped in something like a large apron, covering the left shoulder; Layers overlap into umbrella-like skirts; some people also wear woolen hats, but these hats do not sell well in summer.
The woman is wearing a large woven sweater with linen clothes inside and a waist, which outlines beautiful curves, and her skin is darker.
Every city has its own temples and gods that people believe in. In some larger cities, the gods worshiped in some adjacent settlements will be different.
The city-state of Uruk believes in Inanna, the goddess of Venus; the city-state of Nippur believes in Enlil, the king of the gods.
The city-state of Ur believes in Nanna, the moon god; the city-state of Eridu believes in Enki, the lord of Apsu, the lower abyss.
Kish city-state and Wenma city-state believe in the goddess of food and mercy, Shala.
The city-state of Lagash believes in Ningils, the god of war.
The people here saw that their king, the just shepherd Gudea, actually became the driver of the chariot, and the person who made him condescend to drive was completely different from the people here.
A priest asked the soldier captain who was riding in the chariot at the end, pointing to the figure on the chariot:
"This person's attire is different from ours, but he looks ordinary. How dare he ride in the same car with the king of Lagash?"
