ALCHEMY AND MAGIC
 
“MAGIC’S JUST SCIENCE WE DON’T UNDERSTAND YET;” Arthur C. Clark.
He was much more athletic built than a normal man and many times stronger. She was a little more athletic built than a normal woman and was just as strong as he was. They claimed to be Osiris and Isis. The two had weapons and gadgets that had never been seen before by the people of K emet.
They prepared the group to help defend and conquer. Osiris showed the men how to make more flexible of bows for arrows. Isis showed the women how to make tents from the camel wool. Osiris trained the men how to use a wagon that would be called a chariot. Isis showed the priests and priestesses how to perform what looked like m agic.
Their biggest two tricks were involving voltaic batteries. They could make minor explosions occur at will with an initial flash of light. The other involved electromagnets that made items appear to move on their own. They could have created lights if they mastered g lass.
They helped their followers conquer lands around them to ensure a barrier between them and the outside world. They started building structures designed by Coyote who went by Anubis. The plan was to destroy Osiris’ dreaded enemy Tyr and make Kemet the center of the known world. After fifty years of planning and building, Isis and Osiris disappeared with five hundred warriors to what was later going to be known as No rway.
WHOM WERE ISIS AND OSIRIS’ PARENTS?
Their parents were the imagination of the people of Kemet. The children of Adam have always had a drive for a relationship with a deity. Osiris and Isis were not their real names. We do not know who pretended to be Osiris, but it has been confirmed that Isis was in actuality my daughter At hena.
The invaders had almost ten thousand men stationed around and on the hill in the Negev region. Just as the sun started to rise in the east, the natives of the land seemed to appear out of nowhere. Their number was only around three thousand, but they had the advantage of Helios to their back and more familiarity with the land. Two thousand of the men were from one native kingdom referred to as the Apiru by the Egyptians and one thousand were from the other referred as Moab.
You could hear the song by the King being sung by his people as they attacked, “Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall not want any more. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your symbol of discipline and your symbolism of leadership comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you spiritually anoint my head with your holy oil; my cup runs over. Surely your goodness and your mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in Bethel forever.”
Blood and dust mixed to make a reddish dirt that made the ground slippery. Unlike in movies, the swords barely ever clanked. A clank was a wasted motion. Shields were a useless idea for four warriors that used a bronze sword and a flint knife. These four easily disposed men that seemed more like victims than fighters. It was becoming more of a slaughter than a battle.
Even though most natives used bronze and flint, they started to immediately win over the iron wielding invaders. Many of the natives killed at least three invaders for every native. Some did much more. Second in command Uri of Troy killed ninety. The maniacal leader Jesse killed three hundred. The powerful warriors Eleazor and Shammah killed another two hundred apiece. One thousand of the natives were still standing after the enemy was slaughtered in just under two hours.
The victors spent the rest of the day gathering the new iron weapons, burying the dead for both armies, and taking care of the injured. The victors then took over the camp and partied with the food supplies left by their enemies. The camp was then darkened so the same could not happen to them that they did to their conquered.
King Hanon was not presently leading them. Jesse and his brother Jonah were going to be leading their uncle’s army into battle. Jonah would be working with the allies to the north and Jesse was going to be working with the allies to the east to take on the Sea people on the west coast whose headquarters was in Ashdod.
The rest of the camp was dark. Five soldiers from each army silently patrolled the sight. The tent was the only place with light. Israelite Jesse and his second in command Uri were going over the plans with the Moabite General Ibn. Even though Jesse was fifty-seven, he looked around the same age as twenty-eight years of age Uri.
At this time in history, Jesse’s seventy-one inches in height made him one of the tallest soldiers. He towered over the sixty-seven inches of Uri the Anatolian and sixty-five inches of Ibn. His mother had told him that his father was a giant. His mother was the King’s older sister.
His mother was twenty-one years older than her regal brother. In fact, Jesse was three years older than the King while his brother Jonah was eight months older than Hanon. Hanon and Jonah were full grown before Jesse. Surprisingly, Jesse was twenty-five years old before he started shaving and quit growing when he was thirty. Something had to be true about Mama Zee’s stories about his father.
Ibn smiled; “I will contact King Kir and our allies. The Shueub Albahr will know that the Ammonites, Moabites, and the Israelis shall join together to vanquish any outsiders.”
Jesse chuckled as he took another swig of the mead and held the chalice out to the other two, “To the children of Ibrahim.”
They clinked their vessels together before finishing their drinks and going to sleep. Ibn stayed in the tent as Jesse and Uri went to join their men in the campsite. They would stay at this location until Jonah’s army and the Aramaeans arrived. That was when they planned to take the attack to Ashdod.
A different caravan arrived five days later. The foreign group had thirty members. The guards’ armor was gold leafed. A man and a woman then exited a covered wagon. The woman was the same height as Jesse and the man stood five inches taller.
The woman spoke through an interpreter, “Which ones of you are Jesse, Eleazor and Shammah?”
Jesse stood forward, “I am Jesse. I lead this army.”
She smiled, “That is not the reason for me to be here. We need to take a walk. Bring the other two that I requested with you. It will interest you greatly.”
It took Jesse five minutes to find Eleazor and Shammah. The five sat on pillows of the tent that was set up by the strange woman’s team. Jesse supplied the mead for the gathering. Everyone pulled out their own drinking vessels.
The woman smiled and talked without her interpreter who was not in the tent, “I Virginia and he Sole. We come from the north. We wish to recruit men like you for armies.”
Eleazor shook his head, “As soon as we chase out the Sea People, I am going back to my oranges and olives.”
Shammah nodded at Eleazor, “I just want to watch over my sheep. Jesse might go with you, but he is not taking either of us.”
Jesse chuckled and looked at Sole, “Are you too afraid to fight?”
Virginia glared at Jesse, “You should be thankful that he did not understand you. He has killed and fought nearly a million men in his lifetime.”
Jesse smiled at the large man, “Let me take him on right now.”
Virginia spoke extremely slow and determined, “Sole is not like the giant Ishbibenob that you fought. Sole is not directly related to you.”
Jesse glared, “I want your people out of my camp as soon as you fold your tent.”
They were just loading up the wagon when Uri and Jonah rode up beside Jesse. Jesse could see that Jonah’s army was coming in the distance. Uri then gave a stunned look as he stared at the woman.
Jesse smiled at Uri, “She is the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen, but she is no more th
