Ancient Egypt 2nd Global Kingdom – – – Early Rome 6th Global Kingdom

Summary of Ancient Egypt – 2nd Global Gentile Kingdom

Introduction: The Ancient Egyptians attempted to build a Priestly passage (road) connecting this life with the afterlife in the same way that Ancient Romans built roads connecting Rome to distant cities and ports.

There are many similarities between Ancient Egypt 2nd Kingdom and Ancient Rome 6th Kingdom.

Rome conquered the general world by going out into the world on roads they built. The Egyptians conquered the world by having the world (through the global famine) come to them to purchase grain they had harvested and stored.

Pharaoh Akhenaten accumulated the world’s wealth to his peril (and to the peril of three generations of his family) in the same way that Julius Caesar accumulated the world’s power and authority to his ultimate peril.

The Royal elite political structure between Ancient Egypt and later Ancient Rome is surprisingly very similar so much that the two societies parallel each other and actually as historical history goes somewhat mirror each other in an almost identical series of persons and events.

Ancient Egypt, Early Rome — Explained

King Amenhotep IV (Pharaoh Akhenaten) inherited a large and well known but very unstable and perilous Egypt kingdom from his father Amenhotep III. In the same way that Julius Caesar overtook a large but very unstable Rome kingdom from Pompey the Great.

Note: The first known written use of the word Pharaoh is in ancient Egyptian writing and refers exclusively to the person Pharaoh Akhenaten. There are no known earlier mentions of Egyptian Kings as Pharaoh previous to Pharaoh Akhenaten. The word Pharaoh (H6547) is thought to have been brought into popular existence not by the Egyptians who used the term king but by the Hebrews.

Also Note: Pharaoh Tutankhamun (King Tut) the son of Pharaoh Akhenaten and a lesser wife Kiya ascended to the throne of his deceased father Pharaoh Akhenaten approximately on his 9th birthday. Nine being the minimum legal age of accountability and authority in ancient Egypt. In the tomb of Tutankhamun a last record of his reign was in the tenth year of his reign. Pharaoh Tutankhamun died (assassination) at about 19 years of age. It is interesting to note that Octavian was 19 years of age when Julius Caesar was assassinated (44 BC) and Octavian began his ascent to the throne of Rome.

And you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age. But in the *fourth generation they shall come here (Canaan) again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. ~ Genesis 15:13-16
