Ramesses, feeling that his vassal, Mali, was not worshiping the Egyptian gods like they promised to once they were vassaled, came to Mansa Musa. When he arrived in Timbuktu, he saw that his suspicions were correct, and that the Malinese were building mosques and training priests in the name of "Allah". Ramesses did not approve of this, and
ordered asked Mansa Musa to convert to Paganism and disband these organized priests for a small sum of gold. Mansa Musa accepted this deal, and fired these new priests and sent them to Egyptian pagan monasteries to become REAL priests.
Slaves Workers in Thebes also finished making a Viking embassy so that they could invite officials from the Vikings to come to Thebes to keep contact and conduct trade. This would ensure that Egypt and the Vikings would always have contact with one another.
By the time Alexandria had finished training a division of settlers to build another city to the west,
slaves workers in Aksum had finished making the Wat Preah Pisnulok, and this large religious monastery allowed people in Aksum to become priests if they
were forced to wished.
Ramesses had no idea what this was, obviously, and let the people of Aksum follow their own wishes. He also sent these new settlers west, next to an oasis and a coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
Ramesses had voted in a recent AP decision to stop the war against their brothers in listed faith, England. Ramesses, knowing the Vikings were quite angry with England, said yes to ending the war so that the Vikings could focus on more important things, like being friends with the Egyptians. This decision ended up succeeding, and now the Vikings could continue to giving their full attention to Egypt.
Also, Ramesses delved deep into his gold stores to improve the protection of Egyptian cities. Once he finished training the divisions of protectors in the cities, he had received news of a group of barbarian men and women riding elephants near the borders of Abydos. Ramesses did not like this, as elephants were strong, and they pooped everywhere in the sand, so he hoped they would soon be destroyed by the newly upgraded longbowmen and macemen of Abydos.
The settlers trained in Alexandria had finally founded a city: Abdju. Abdju was founded right on the border of the old Carthaginian empire. Abdju did not have protection from natives and barbarians for now, but the first order of business of the mayor was to train archers to protect them. Archers could be trained faster than longbowmen, and they could easily be trained to become longbowmen once they finished their archer training.
Also, scientists of Egypt were studying the fact of Divine Right, which was the Right of the Divine. Ramesses had no idea what it meant, but he assured himself the scientists knew what they were doing, I mean how could science ever hurt a civilization?
Apparently, some researches from Thebes came to explore the ruins of an old Carthiginian city in the borders of Abjdu. They found some books on the Right of the Divine, and said if they were paid 52 gold, they might find another book. Ramesses, not understanding what they were trying to say, paid them anyway. It turned out these researchers were bogus on finding another book, but their original advancement was taken advantage of anyway.
Quite soon after, Saladin, leader of the Arabian Empire, came to Egypt for a trade. Surprisingly, he came up with a deal of 75 gold for the knowledge of works of beautiful mosaics and murals, and advanced pottery and woodworking. Ramesses accepted this deal as he had recently spent some gold on training Egyptian defenders.
Also, news was given to Ramesses that the longbowmen had finished off the last of the barbarian pooping elephants near Abydos, and Ramesses was proud of these new archers who added another foot to the size of their bows, whatever the heck a foot was.
SC Decision!
