For the convenience of reading, I even simply opened the bed in the prison, and roughly stared at this text and read it through. I finally had an idea of what happened on the eve of the demise of Atlantis civilization.
In fact, the root cause of the demise of Atlantis still lies in the Three Pure Ones, which is consistent with the content described in the murals at the entrance of the Mermaid Ancestral Land - around 9000 BC, the Three Pure Ones came to Atlantis at that time, and spread the threat theory of Athens and ancient Eastern civilizations on a large scale in the country, provoking the increasingly inflated violent emotions in the hearts of the people of Atlantis, and finally pushed Atlantis into a situation of national preparation for war, because the Heart of Atlantis was used to create super soldiers, and finally the energy of the Heart of Atlantis exploded and directly sank Atlantis.
However, what is not mentioned in the murals is that before Atlantis embarked on the road of preparation for war, it had experienced a war!
To be precise, it was a civil war, and it was a war between theocracy and imperial power!
To talk about this war, I'm afraid we have to start with Saint Sima.
Saint Sima is not actually a native of Atlantis. Her father and mother are both Athenians. Because they committed a crime in Athens, they were exiled overseas by Athens. By chance, they came to Atlantis and finally took root in an undeveloped wilderness in the west of Atlantis and became a hunter in the mountains. Saint Sima was born during the time when her father went into the mountains to be a hunter.
As the saying goes, like dragons give birth to dragons, like phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can dig holes. Saint Sima was born in a hunter's family, so she naturally mastered the skills of hunting, and she also had the ability to hypnotize people. It can be said that she is gifted, but she was trapped in the mountains, which can be regarded as a pearl covered in dust.
Time, in a blink of an eye, came to the year when Saint Sima was 20 years old.
This year, a terrible tsunami occurred on the wild islands and reefs in the west of the Great Western Kingdom. The tsunami engulfed a large area of forests there, and the climate became bad. There were few prey in the mountains, and it was difficult to sustain the lives of Saint Sima and her family of three. Her father and mother gave her all the limited food, and finally died of hunger and disease.
After burying her parents, Saint Sima had to leave the western wilderness where she had lived for 20 years in order to survive. She dried all the meat of the prey at home into jerky, and then walked eastward.
To the east, it is the extremely civilized Great Western Kingdom!
There is no doubt that Saint Sima finally came to the western border of the Great Western Kingdom alive, and there she had a fierce conflict with the local security team over food!
At that time, the Great Western Kingdom had almost reached a completely mechanized civilization because of the Heart of Atlantis. They had not experienced hunger and cold for tens of thousands of years, and had not experienced war. The level of the security team can be imagined. How can it be compared with Saint Sima who fights with wild beasts in the mountains all day long? With her agile skills from hunting, Saint Sima defeated all the security teams in a few moves!
She was born a hunter, so her skills were naturally trained by fighting wild beasts. So, an amazing coincidence happened at this time - the people of Daxi worshipped Orion, the great god of the Orion constellation! !
And the various actions of Saint Sima when fighting with the security team were exactly the same as the legendary Orion god Orion! !
For a time, Saint Sima became famous in the western border area of Daxi, because the people of Daxi lived too well, because they had enough food and warm clothes and lived a very comfortable life, so they had no spirit of adventure, and would not run to the mountains to fight with wild beasts such as black bears and blind men. This is also common sense. If it is not for lack of food and water, or if there is no other way, who would put their head on the belt to risk their lives? Of course, those perverts who are full of adventure ideas and are happy to play extreme sports are not counted.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of Saint Sima, a woman with hunting skills, really became a rare object. For a time, many people regarded her as a messenger sent by the great god Orion. Finally, this matter was spread to the capital Poseidonia. The priests serving the great god Orion in Poseidonia came to the western border to meet this Saint Sima.
Saint Sima was very smart, she knew that her chance had come!
Although she didn't even know what the Orion god Orion was, as an Athenian, she was educated by her father since she was a child that the father of the gods in this world was Zeus!
But this did not prevent her from understanding the great god Orion? During her time in the western border, she had basically understood the beliefs of the Atlantis completely, so when she met the priest, she used her innate ability!
That's right, she hypnotized and brainwashed the priest, and the hypnosis lasted for three days. She was deeply hypnotized and told the priest that she was actually the daughter of the great god Orion, and a saint sent by God to Atlantis!
In the end, she was taken back to the capital Poseidonia, and with her ability, she quickly controlled all the priests and took actual control of the church. In the end, she directly dismissed the position of the Pope at that time in the name of "not the person chosen by the great god Orion", and became the highest spiritual ruler of the entire Atlantis - the saint, the daughter of the supreme god!
After becoming a saint, Sima, in order to further consolidate her power, began large-scale hypnosis brainwashing within the religion. If she encountered someone who was determined and could not be brainwashed, she would kill him on various charges, exclude dissidents, and condense the theocracy at that time to a peak. That was also the peak of her life, and she even reached the point where she could fight against the imperial power!
However, at this time, the arrival of a person became a roadblock for Saint Sima. There is no need to say who this person is - Sanqing Taoist!
The rise of Sanqing Taoist is different from that of Saint Sima. He does not rely on religious beliefs, but on instigation!
Yes, Sanqing Taoist is a master of instigation. He lobbyists everywhere among the people and constantly presents evidence to prove that there are equally glorious ancient civilizations in Athens and the East of the world. These ancient civilizations are developing rapidly and will inevitably catch up with Daxi in time. By then, Daxi may suffer from barbaric invasion and war! In order to prevent the tragedy from happening, we must take the lead in launching a war to destroy these foreign civilizations!
What do the rich fear the most about the poor?
The most feared thing is that the poor will be restless, and the most feared thing is that they will be poor and crazy, and then become desperate madmen with red eyes to rob themselves and plunder themselves with violence!
At that time, the people of Daxi had this kind of rich mentality. When they heard that there were many poor and crazy guys in the same world as themselves who were ready to do it at any time, how could they sit still?
The Taoist Sanqing grasped this human nature and gained the support of many civilians in the Great Western Kingdom. The voices of the people advocating war were getting louder and louder. In the end, even the monarch of the Great Western Kingdom met with the Taoist Sanqing. The Taoist Sanqing was indeed very capable and actually convinced the monarch of the Great Western Kingdom!
At this time, Saint Sima, who was born insecure, felt a crisis and something was wrong. She thought that the Taoist Sanqing had challenged her authority, or that it would definitely affect her spiritual rule in the future, because the people at that time especially worshipped the Taoist Sanqing! !
In order to curb the Taoist Sanqing, Saint Sima began to give speeches to the people, saying that the great god Orion advocated peace and that war would bring destruction. Unfortunately, at that time, how could such a bullshit statement appease the violent public emotions? So, Saint Sima failed. Later, she was unwilling to give up and decided to persuade the monarch of the Great Western Kingdom.
However, the emperor had long been unhappy with her as a spiritual leader. How could he listen to her? Moreover, the Taoist Sanqing seemed to know her ability and directly refused to let her see the emperor, fearing that she would bewitch the emperor!
Faced with the excited people, the ministers who were increasingly calling for war, and the emperor who was determined to expand the army and develop the military, Saint Sima had no sense of security at all. The teachings of the great god Orion advocated peace, and an empire that was dedicated to expanding its territory did not need such a religion that advocated peace!
"If they are not stopped, the glory of the great god Orion will withdraw from the stage of history, and this empire will also go to its doom in the war. In order to defend all that I love, why should I fear a deadly battle?"
Saint Sima wrote this in her preface before her death.
Yes, she finally rebelled with arms, or it should be said that she launched a military remonstration, which opened the curtain of the civil war that lasted for nearly ten years in the Great Western Kingdom. This was a war between theocracy and imperial power, and it also pushed Saint Sima into the abyss, because she chose an unbeatable opponent like the Taoist Sanqing.
