Ding-a-ling——
The sound of the wind passed by, causing the silver bells to jingle.
In the Memphis royal palace, when Messe stood before the palace steps and was stopped by the guards wielding weapons, the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt, the son of Seti I, Pharaoh Ramses II who was over a hundred years old, was appreciating the scroll spread out before him.
His aged body was still agile. In fact, contrary to conclusions drawn from some scriptures by later generations, as the third Pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty and one of the great rulers in Egyptian history, Ramses was a quite capable monarch. Theoretically, he wasn't the 'villain' recorded in the scriptures.
He had waged wars and won repeatedly, had many children, and excelled in poetry and architecture. He contributed significantly to culture, military, and politics, so much so that later generations even referred to him as 'Emperor Ramses' in honor of his accomplishments.
