Politically, Nitocris established a centralized system and political power institutions, abolished the governor-general system, changed to the state and county system, and local administrative agencies were divided into county and county levels. The main officials of counties and counties are appointed and dismissed by the central government, and generals, governors, and county magistrates are not subordinate to each other, which strengthens the central government's control over local areas and reduces the risk of splitting.
Nitocles was also the first founder of a relatively complete written law in the world. The establishment of this written law further weakened the rights of the nobility and protected the interests of the common people. It had a great influence on the establishment of the subsequent Greek, Roman and even the entire Western legal system. had a profound impact.
Nitocris knew people well and appointed them on their merits, regardless of their origins. In order to allow more talents from common people to be used by her, Nitocris created a bureaucratic examination system, which replaced the selection of officials from nobles. Old example. And all talented people are required to pass specific examinations before they can become officials.
At the same time, she also compiled many teaching materials specifically for bureaucrats to learn from, and established schools specifically for teaching.
The contents of these textbooks include theology, mathematics, astronomy, geography, agriculture, engineering, etc. Both the bureaucratic examination system and the books themselves had a profound impact on later Egypt.
Economically, Nitocris used a series of means to promote the development of commerce, making Egypt at that time the commercial center of nearby areas.
She re-minted gold coins bearing her own image and established financial institutions similar to banks for people to save property and make loans.
By building roads and borrowing money from small businessmen, Nitocris brought Egypt's business to its peak at that time. Businessmen from nearby countries came to Egypt one after another to conduct various commercial activities.
Additionally, she even issued a series of paper alternatives to gold coins called"gold notes," which were actually the earliest bank and paper money.
Nitocris's greatest economic achievement was to use economic means to annex the Hittites in neighboring countries.
Due to the power of Nitocris I and Egypt, Nitocris's banks and gold notes had a good reputation in nearby countries. Even the kings and nobles of these countries also deposited their wealth in her bank, and Using her golden tickets, she soon had the commerce and wealth of nearby countries under her control.
So, Nitocris used the excuse that the Hittite king was disrespectful to her and announced that she would not honor the Hittite gold tickets. As a result, the Hittite gold tickets became useless paper and the whole country fell into chaos. She took advantage of the opportunity. He bribed the Hittite generals and officials and annexed the country without bloodshed.
Culturally, various works written by Nitocles personally for officials are cultural treasures that record the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians, which show the ancient Egyptians' attainments in astronomy, geography, mathematics, agriculture, etc.
The buildings she left behind are also human treasures.
After Nitocris, she has always existed in Egyptian legends. The legendary life of Nitocris is widely talked about by her descendants and appears repeatedly in ancient Egyptian literature. , can be called an enduring cultural motif.
Precisely because of Nitocris' influence on Egypt, historians unanimously divide Egypt from Nitocris I and after it into the"Middle Kingdom" period, or the"Egyptian" period, which is different from the"Old Kingdom period""Because Nitocris established a new system. These things had never been done before him. They were created by her and have been used for thousands of years; after her, the pharaohs who governed the country were all governed by the same system. They achieved great results by managing the country under the framework of his institution. The great achievements they created were largely due to the foundation laid by Nitocris I. They accomplished many things without the premise of their predecessors. How much work will be needed to achieve institutional and cultural changes, as well as numerous construction projects?
Facts have proved that Nitocris was successful. After her, the newly born Egypt was extremely powerful. Although it experienced several terrible civil strife, it has always maintained its strong position, and even suppressed the then people thousands of years later. Ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and ancient Persia could not hold their heads high - Nitocles I was undoubtedly the greatest pharaoh who laid the foundation for all of this.
Nitocris I died in Meraran in 2113 BC. Unlike other pharaohs, Nitocris did not leave her mummy behind. According to legend, she did not really die at that time, but ascended to the gods. world and become a member of the gods.
At that time, the heir to the throne, her nephew Nicelic Helit, took the royal boat and led a large fleet along the Nile River to send the robes and crowns representing the remains of Nitocris I to Nitocris in Heliopolis. Silk pyramid.
Along the way, all the subjects shed tears to pay tribute to this great Pharaoh who brought them peace and prosperity.
Nitocles I was more diligent in building large-scale construction projects than most pharaohs in ancient Egypt. There are an incredible number of palaces, temples, statues and stele about her in Egypt. Except for Ramses II, there is no No pharaoh could surpass her in this.
But unlike Ramesses II, only a small part of the buildings related to Nitocris I were built by him himself, while more were built for her by her Egyptians who worshiped her. And she has only a few achievements of her own. (Especially her successor, her nephew Nicelic Helit, this pharaoh was a crazy admirer of Nitocris. Throughout his life, this pharaoh established the god in honor of Nitocris. The temples and sculptures are much larger than his own projects. Egypt, which was originally prosperous because of Nitocris, was almost ruined by him.)
But even these few buildings are all shocking to the world.
The two miracles of the great Lake Fayon and the tall Pyramid of Nitocris are naturally among them. In addition, the projects left by Nitocris I included the expansion of the capital city of Memphis, which made it possible at that time. Memphis became a giant city that could accommodate 400,000 people, which was actually the largest city of that era.
The other is her palace. The luxurious palace covers an area of 800,000 square meters. People can still see part of its majesty. Unfortunately, most of the palaces are now only ruins in the yellow sand.
The last one is the Temple of Thoth, which is also the most luxurious temple built by Nitocris during her lifetime. But what makes people feel strange is that although Nitocris is called the son of Horus and the incarnation of Ra, However, this temple does not worship the two most important gods in Egypt, but a less important god - the god of wisdom in ancient Egyptian mythology, the god of the moon, mathematics, medicine, and the god of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Inventor, Thoth, scribe of the gods.
Perhaps, it is precisely because Nitocris worshiped Thoth and understood the importance of wisdom that she was able to accomplish such a brilliant achievement.
As for her nephew Nicelic Helit, he also left behind a great building - the Temple of Nitocris.
The temple is nominally dedicated to the true god Ra and the Nine Pillars, but in fact it is a temple dedicated to Nitocris I, the aunt of Niceli Helit.
The temple is dozens of meters deep, with a statue of Nitocris I herself located in the deepest part. On June 23rd and December 23rd every year, the sun will shine into the temple and shine on the statue of Nitocris I. These two days were her birthday. Therefore, the people praised Nitocris I as the"King of the Sun."
No matter what Nitocris's name was, as a pharaoh, she undoubtedly played an important role in the history of mankind. She has painted a vivid picture, and as a woman, her achievements can be called a model for women throughout the ages.
If China's emperor is Qin Shihuang, then Egypt's emperor is undoubtedly this great female pharaoh. Interestingly, according to historical records, the image of Qin Shihuang is exactly the same as the image of God Thoth in the Temple of Thoth. This is the biggest joke in human civilization.
