I call you, [oh] my father Amon, I am amongst innumerable Barbarians whom I do not know. All countries have rallied in league against me, and I am absolutely lonely, nobody with me. . . . Here am I, therefore, praying thee from the depths of barbarian lands. . . . Amon: Forward, forward, I am with thee, thine father. My hand is with thee, and I shall stand thee more efficiently than hundreds of thousands. For here am I, the Lord of Victory, and I love courage. Ramses: My courage surges again. My heart rejoices. Everything succeeds which I attempt. Here am I, like Montu. I throw arrows at my right, take prisoners at my left. I am now facing them, like Baal, when his hour comes. . . .","PeriodicalId":210532,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Ideology, and World Order","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124676086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
