When the term ancient Egypt is mentioned, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be the pharaohs and the pyramids. Indeed, the Egyptian civilization is the oldest of the four civilizations. What is the concept of Menes, the first Egyptian pharaoh in history, who lived in the 51st century BC?We can compare the Chinese civilization with the Egyptian civilization.
The ancestors of Chinese civilization are believed to be the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, and both lived in the 30th century BC. The difference between the two is more than 2,000 years, and there is a saying that Egypt has a 7,000-year civilization and a Chinese civilization of 5,000 years. However, although the Egyptian civilization claims to be 7,000 years, in fact, if you do not take into account the 2,000 years that it was occupied by other civilizations, it is only 5,000 years.
And because of the historical fault line of 2,000 years, although the ancient Egyptian civilization cannot be said to have completely disappeared, it is true that many things have been lost. On the other hand, Chinese civilization is a civilization that has lasted for 5,000 years without interruption. Getting back to the point, today this article would like to introduce you to a few famous pharaohs in Egyptian history, given that most people are unfamiliar with Egyptian historical materials.
So I came up with an easier way to understand the way to explain this, which is to compare these famous pharaohs with the emperors of Chinese history to illustrate their position. Let's start with the first pharaoh Menes, whose positioning can be said to be the Yellow Emperor or Qin Shi Huang. Because he was both the first ruler of Egyptian civilization and the founder of the pharaonic system.
I prefer Qin Shi Huang because he was the first pharaoh to unify Egypt, which is a bit like Qin Shi Huang ruling the six kingdoms. However, the personalities of the two seem to be somewhat different, but given the scarcity of historical data, it is difficult to determine what kind of character he is. The second pharaoh Khufu, Khufu's positioning is very easy to understand, except for Emperor Yang of Sui.
Because of the workload of building the Great Pyramid, only the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal can be compared. And he himself is also a very arrogant pharaoh, which is similar to Emperor Yang of Sui. But Khufu was stingy and Emperor Yang of Sui was generous, which is a difference. The third pharaoh, Thutmose III, he has a famous title of Napoleon of Egypt, so what about the emperor of China?
It's really hard to find, because he hasn't lost a war. Just looking at this, Emperor Guangwu and Tang Taizong may be a little close, but they haven't lost a game, so this one is too special. Personally, I think that Tang Taizong is closer. Because he, like Tang Taizong, has a position similar to that of Tian Khan, that is, to make all neighboring countries submit.
The fourth pharaoh, Ramses II, can be said to be a combination of Qianlong and Emperor Yang of Sui. Because his experience is the same as that of Emperor Yang of Sui, he has a diligent father who has saved a bunch of money so that he can squander it. But the life span and historical positioning are similar to Qianlong, and as soon as he dies, the entire empire will weaken. On the whole, he is more similar to Qianlong, after all, the country did not perish in his hands.
The fifth pharaoh, Akhenaten, this one really doesn't have one, because there is no religion in China. If there is an emperor who caused chaos in the country because he did not follow the ancestral system, it can only be said that Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was the first emperor to believe that Confucian ideas could be put into practice.
