So we're kind of two-thirds the way through in terms of time and in terms of the numbering of the dynasties.
Another point which I think we're going to come back to, which...
is really the crux of the action, of the bloody action, is that in ancient Egypt, I don't think there wasn't, well, there was a designated heir, like a crown prince.
It's not, this guy is the Prince of Wales, and we just acknowledge him.
No, no.
And I think, well, maybe it was actually in the more recent years of the British royal family, that people died, like fairly senior members of the royal family, the children died.
So there were shifts in,
It wasn't necessarily the eldest son that got the throne.
So I think that creates a level of uncertainty, which that uncertainty really fires the situation that leads to the demise of Ramses III.
Yeah, typical for an ancient Egyptian.
That, I mean, that quotation is maybe from a slightly older translation, but basically the idea is...
When the king comes to the throne, he is the king immediately.
I don't think the ancient Egyptians really went in for what we would call a coronation.
I see.
In Westminster Abbey kind of style.
But, I mean, you saw with the fairly recent coronation of Charles III, there is very, very, very ancient symbolism there.
embedded in that kind of ritual.
And you see it there in that quotation.
There is something about the king being announced and proclaimed and claiming his right in the four cardinal directions.
So there are scenes in temples where you see the king looking like he's doing baseball.
