HIGHER GROUND

Higher ground. Apex. It seems to me that a grander view of life may help to identify mind-sets, may help to multiply virtues, may help to amplify aspirations, may help to reconcile philosophies that have waged internecine wars over world views, relentlessly, since well before Roman times; before Greek times; before Phoenician times; before Assyrian times; before Persian times; before Hittite times. Stretching back into ancient Egyptian-Ethiopians times. The world’s first documented peace treaty was 1269 BC, between Egypt and Turkey. The Treaty of Kadesh is one name. That marks a time-line ; parameters back of which to study. To study for what, seeking what? Seeking that spirit that prevailed in Egypt, under Ramses II, and in Hatti under Muwatalli II. Akhenaten was the Pharaoh who lost northern Syria that Ramses II could partially regain. The Egyptians’ Gods were Ptah, Ra, Amun, Ramses II , the signing Pharaoh . Egyptians’ MAAT philosophy was rooted in the gods . https://en.wikipedia.org/…/Egyptian%E2%80%93Hittite_peace_t…
