Letters from the Great Kings (The Armarna Letters)

The Armarna Letters are a collection of diplomatic messages sent between the great rulers of the ancient Middle East, from 1350 to 1330 BC.
The letters from the great kings makes up the first half of the letters found at Tel Armarna. They feature the kings of most Middle Eastern kingdoms and shed light on the diplomatic status each had with Egypt, from the glowing praise of Babylonian and Mittani kings to the icy reserve of the kings of Hatti and Assyria.

Damn. The lowly governor in Canaan was like "My king the sun god, I bow 7 times and 7 times, yada yada yada". The King of Babylon is like "My brother, why haven't you let me marry me your daughter yet?"

[@thruthewormhole]

These letters can be boiled down to "Wtf man?"

[@KameSennin4209]

that, and you better pay what you owe!

[@thruthewormhole]

Help a pharaoh out ffs

[@537monster]

If only they talked like we do today, I can just imagine the conversations that would be recorded. To which the king said "WTF man?" And the other King responded "IDK YOLO, my daughter doesn't like you, bitches be trippn'."

[@libinwang2267]

They keep on saying"my brother". I'm starting to think this is an acquaintance of lacuna

[@StrazdasLT]

It does seem that the word was either mistranslated or had a very different meaning. Especially given ample evidence that they were not actual blood brothers.

As a part Egyptian, part Iraqi guy, I am really ashamed how our great empires turned to a shithole they are now.

It's because of Islam.

@@AllahuSnackbar270 When they were following Islam they wiped out all the ruling empires on earth so STFU.

[@jerrypruitt2434]

It's because of the Hebrew who kept killing their babies when they were told not to and Akhenaten tried to convert them. This is why the Angel Gabriel cursed them

[@syedraidarsalan4685]

@@AllahuSnackbar270 Interesting, because both Iraq and Egypt went through Golden Ages during the Islamic period, and fell only when Foreign Powers took advantage of Political instability.

@@syedraidarsalan4685 Because of Islam? The "Islamic" rulers of the period bathed in wine, they were true heretics. When Islam is followed properly, women are treated as chattle and non-believers are murdered.

It's a great idea and should be done more, but remember there are people trying to follow along. It needs a pause between letters, and should be performed not just rattled off. Make more but perform them. Obtain an actor.

WHO IS THIS "LACUNA" GUY THAT APPEARS IN ALL THE ANCIENT TEXTS??? IS HE ILLUMINATI?? IS HE A POKEMON???? IS HE A JEW TRICKERY???

[@StrazdasLT]

this is obviuosly in jest, but in case you dont know, Lacuna is a standard keyword to mean that part of the text is missing. So every time he says lacuna it means part of the text is missing.
