Ramesses II and Nefertari

Ramesses II (also Ramses or Ramesse) was the third pharaoh of the 19th dynasty, son of Seti I and his Great Royal Spouse Tuya. He is considered one of the greater, if not the greatest, of the Kings of Egypt, so much so that he deserved the name Ramesses the Great. He brought Egypt to its peak after the decadence that followed the death of Akhenaten, signed a historic peace treaty with his historic enemies, the Hittites, created a new capital, Pi-Ramesses, and built more monuments than any other pharaoh in history, including the famous Abu Simbel. He had, at least formally, 200 consorts, but his great love was Nefertari. He died at over 90 years old.

Nefertari was the first of Ramesses' Great Royal Spouses. Extremely educated, her diplomatic skills and her correspondence with the Hittite empress Putuheba were instrumental in establishing peace between the two nations. Much loved by her husband, who celebrated their love by dedicating the twin temples of Abu Simbel to her. According to tradition, Nefertari died just at Abu Simbel, shortly after having witnessed the completion of the temple dedicated to her, when she was around forty. She was buried in the Valley of the Queens, in a sumptuous tomb that is considered the most beautiful and best preserved in the necropolis. Her importance is here underlined by the wall paintings, where she is, exceptionally, depicted at the same size as her husband. She bore her husband several sons, but they all died before their father, thus failing to succeed him to the throne, and un unknown number of daughters.

Okay so. Having watched those X-Men movies I noticed that Magneto and Grindelwald (sorry for referencing JKR's IP) are REALLY similar characters; they're both extremists advocating for their minority group, going against a pacifist former lover close friend who together with they were the two most powerful fictional-minority-people, and of Germanic origin.

I began to tell my family about this realization at dinner, and my mom agreed, noting "they both betrayed and fought against their good friend, like Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek" 💀💀

me: "implying Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek are doomed yaoi??" my brother: "I don't think she picked up on the innuendos..."

(For those who don't know, Mao and Chiang graduated from the same military academy in the same year. (not friends.))

But my dad also did not realize that the shipability was core to the relationships of the two fictional characters and said, "No, I think it's a valid comparison, same thing as Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant." (I think my family may have misinterpreted some signs at Fort Tejon??? I found a National Park Service page that says they met ONCE before the Civil War. Perhaps my dad simply meant to reference that the soldiers stationed at Fort Tejon before the war split up and fought for both sides, and got confused since Lee was mentioned at Fort Tejon (he did not actually say Grant's name, my brother suggested it).)

So that was family dinner 💀 Mao Zedong X Chiang Kai-shek and Robert E. Lee X Ulysses Grant, I GUESS. 🤷

This photo was taken by Leslie Jones, the long-time photographer for the Boston Herald-Traveler. The caption reads: “Old and new at Boston Navy Yard, latest class submarine alongside Old Ironsides on Navy Day 1916.” Boston Public Library Collection.

* Launched in 1797, the Constitution is still afloat and still crewed by active-duty U.S. Navy sailors. It is berthed at the former Charleston Navy Yard, Boston and welcomes more than 500,000 visitors a year.

"I am yours and you are mine and of this there is no doubt. You are imprisoned in my heart, the little key has been lost and now you must remain there forever and ever." -Alejandra Fyodorovna Romanova/Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt

“How sad to be forced to stay away from her for so long -he writes- Being together is wonderful, a real paradise". - Nikolái Aleksándrovich Románov

These are quotes from letters of my two favorite lovebirds, taken from the book "Nicholas and Alexandra: Love and Death in Imperial Russia", written by ROBERT K. MASSIE. Every time I read this book I end up with a heavy heart, either because of the beautiful relationship they had or because I end up sad because of some mistake that led to their execution in a filthy cellar.

Since I began to love this historical couple, I have searched for some visual medium to move me and although there are photos of the two of them to say the least, the truth is that there are few where they show their love since most of them are formal due to the time and their position. as tsar and tsarina of Russia, but there is almost no content that visually shows that love that is so talked about in movies, series, documents, and historians.

I have already ordered a commission to be made in search of moving me and although I appreciate the work of that friend, it is not what I was looking for while the AI, although it touched my heart, lacked that spark that would make me review in the blink of an eye what those little letters and historical information have brought me so much... Until today...

Lately I have been feeling very inspired by this couple and based on this, the beautiful @littlecarnet she has given me this beautiful gift that not only gave me what I have been looking for so much, but has also created two lethal weapons of love that killed me with a bullet, now I am dead and I write it from a heart that exploded for so much beauty.I wonder now, if they had had the opportunity to have the internet and meet this beauty, what would they have thought and done? Based on what I have read and a little of what I have done with my CH comic, I imagine they were impressed, moved, you had this upholstered to hang it in a palace like a real painting and they gave a heartfelt thank you to the artist...But since sadly they are no longer here, I feel obliged to thank this gift with all my heart and go to fine arts to demand that they expose this beauty. Meanwhile today and in a month or more I will appreciate this with all my heart because this is a treasure... 

THANK YOU SO MUCH SABINE!!!, YOU ARE THE BEST, PEOPLE AND ARTISTS LIKE YOU ARE WORTH EVERYTHING!!!, YOU HAVE MY ABSOLUTE ADMIRATION AND GRATITUDE!!!
