A little faint tired from sledding, there are still weapons, so rarely wielded, I have such difficulty reaching them, because I don't know the pleasure in their use, didn't learn it as a child. It is notonly "my f.'s [father] fault" that I didn't learn it, but it is also because I wanted so to destroy the "calm", to upset the balance and therefore could not let someone be newly born over there when I was taking pains to bury him over here. Admittedly, I return to "fault" here too, for why did I want out of the world? Because "he" didn't let me live in the world, in his world. I cannot judge so clearly now, to be sure, for now I am already a citizen in this other world, which is to the ordinary world as the desert to cultivated land (I have been wandering for 40 years from Canaan), look back as a foreigner, am admittedly the smallest and most anxious in that other world too—have brought this with me as my patrimony—and am capable of living only by virtue of the special organization there according to which even the lowliest there can undergo lightning-like elevations though also sea-pressure-like thousand-year shatterings. Must I be grateful despite everything? Would I have necessarily found the way here? Couldn't the "banishment" there in conjunction with the rejection here have crushed me at the border? Didn't my f.'s power make the expulsion so strong that nothing could resist it (it, not me)? Admittedly, it is like the wandering in the desert in reverse with the constant approches to the desert and the childlike hopes: (especially with regard to women) "perhaps I will stay in Canaan after all" and in the meantime I have long since been in the desert and they are only visions of despair especially at those times when I am the most wretched of all even there and Canaan must present itself as the only land of hope, for there is not a third land for human beings.

Battle of Asykavya ( 28/09/77 )

The Battle of Ashykavya took place on the 28th, Tuz 77th of the Turkish calendar, between the crusaders of the Balt Rhain and the Turks led by Tughril Mahmud Pasha. It is also known as the Battle of the Valley of the Volcanoes, due to the extinct volcanic forms in the nearby Ashkavya Valley. The Turkiye army under Mahmud Pasha captured or killed most of the Balt Rhain Crusaders, depriving them of the ability to fight. As a direct result of the battle, Turkiye became the leading military force in Rumeliana, conquering Phenicia and many other Crusader-held cities in Southern Rumeliana. This defeat precipitated the Battle of Muchever, which started 4 months after the Battle of Ashkavya. which then ended with a peace treaty between Turkiye - Balt Rhain through the Florence Agreement.

Background

The development of balt Rhain and Turkiye's military power reversed towards the middle of the 77th year of the turkiye calendar. where there was a split in the body of the Balt Rhain army and the crusaders. due to the reckless policy of The Minister louis who ostracized them after contributing to assist him in conquering the entire sud region. as a result, the Crusaders rebelled. and Balt Rhain's army was forced to fight against his own allies. This division was further severed after the defeat of Balt Rhain's crusaders at Maritsa. The crusaders began to form their own groups and they began to attack the city controlled by balt rhain forces in sud. they took control of the city of Chielo, expelled the balt rhain garrison that stood guard there and made it their community. Crusaders also attacked Furullio and Phoenicia which ended in failure.

on the other hand, Turkiye managed to renew his armed forces, leading them to victory in Maritsa. Their navy led by Hamzah Pasha managed to dislodge genoa warships in the Sea of Marmara and Venedik. while the land expedition for the liberation of South Rumeliana led by Mahmud Pasha achieved success in capturing pozo, rozo, restos, cinza, letra, cantar, veletra, toro, marmuu, brezza, and collina from the hands of balt Rhain crusader forces. Turkiye's successive victories accompanied by the retreat of the crusader expedition prompted both Balt Rhain and crusaders to re-establish relations in order to fight the turkiye forces.

Siege of Furrulio

at the beginning of the biber month of 77 Turkiye Calendar, Mahmud Pasha commanded the largest army he commanded at Toro. He inspected his troops in the lowlands, before starting to cross the river Furullio on the 15th. The Turkiye troops numbered 80.000 soldiers. Mahmud Pasha also received unexpected assistance from the Toro cavalry who provided service to him numbering 20,000 soldiers. Mahmud's army was organized as a center and consisted of two wings. cavalry troops led by Hasan Ulubat. the left wing led by Syihabuddin syahin Pasha. Ishaq Pasha led the right flank troops. Mahmud himself led the central army accompanied by binbashi ahmad bey. while the artillery troops were led by Radu del Crumos.

The Crusaders gather at the Espada, their number is between 100 and 120 thousand troops. although this was a smaller number than the initial troop deployed since the start of the invasion of Sud Rumeliana, due to divisions among the crusader alliance forces. most of the troops mainly from Austria and Hungary withdrew from the conflict. most of the soldiers were from the Balt Rhine and its few generals, several thousand Italian troops, and Sicilian and Translvania troops who did not return because they were forced to fight with the empire. Major troop leader Richard Del Rein (commander of the Balt Rhein Troops). decided to wait for the Turkish troops. but several commanders from italy and sicily rejected the idea. They urged Richard to meet the Turks and launch a surprise attack while they were least aware.

On the other hand, Mahmud Pasha didn't want to waste his time just waiting for the imperial troops to come out of their nest. he mobilized his troops marched towards Furullio and laid siege to it on the 20th. news of Furullio's siege reached the imperial troops. both voices of opinion split. Richard still wouldn't move troops, as he was sure it was just a trap to trick him. but the majority of the generals actually urged him to move immediately, bearing in mind that Furullio's position was very close to Phoenicia which if this city fell, it would make it easier for the Turkish troops to conquer it. they didn't even hesitate to insult richard as a coward. After a heated debate, Richard was forced to give in. the crusaders left the Espada on the 23rd. when Mahmud learned that the movement of the crusaders was indeed towards Furullio, he immediately withdrew his troops and tried to lure them to the battlefield he wanted. The Crusaders arrived there two days later in empty Furullio. after the Turkiye troops left the siege of the city.

Battle

25th, month of Tuz. the crusaders arrived at Furullio but found the surroundings of the town empty of the ruins of the fort because of the manjaniq and cannon shelling of the Turkiye Troops. they continued to be forced to move towards Mahmud's troops. here the conditions of the crusaders began to become tired and hopeless, due to the authoritarian actions of some generals and commanders of the crusader coalition, stubbornly trying to pursue the enemy troops.

On the 28th, the crusaders attempted to seize water and grass for their horses in the Ashkavya valley. but suddenly the Turkiye troops shouted and surrounded them from all sides. fighting broke out that night. The crusaders continued to demoralize the crusaders with shouts of takbir and prayers. they burned straw and hay and showered the Balt Rhine troops with cannon and arrows. destroy their ballistae before they are even used.

in a state of panic the crusaders tried to form formations and tried to retreat in an orderly manner. but Mahmud Pasha did not let that happen, he chased the enemy troops and finished off those who were left behind. the two armies once again met in the Almanac.

Richard's main force struggled in a desperate state to survive the attacks of the Turkiye troops, as well as the attacks of the heavy cavalry troops. Richard ordered the Turtle Formation, but soon Turkish artillery troops arrived and destroyed the formation with artillery fire. after that the charge of the Turkiye cavalry came crashing down. many of Richard's men died without much resistance and the wounded and alive fell as prisoners. while Richard himself was killed at the hands of Mahmud. the Balt Rhein troops scattered, most of those who survived fled in an uncertain direction, some of them made it to the espada in tatters and even unarmed.

The Balts of the Rhein and the crusaders were defeated. The explanation for this eye sanction is that Ilyas Bey (Ilyas bin Abdullah), a Janissary soldier, witnessed the moments of the victory of the Turkiye troops in the Almanac. Quoted by Sukrullah Celebi:

"The general commander of the Balt Rhein troops stopped at the Almanac to finish their last resistance. The two armies attacked each other without mercy. While our commander (Mahmud Pasha) shouted, shoot the arrows at the demons!!!. Our cavalry archers!" advanced and fired their arrows while the enemy troops formed a phalanx. they could withstand our composite arrows, but not our gallant cannon fire. Their formation was broken and we continued to suppress and repel the enemy until Allah gave us victory."

Aftermath and Losses

casualties between the two sides could not be ascertained. however the Balt Rhine and the crusaders lost nearly half of their forces in this battle. the commander of the captured Balt Rhein forces, namely Vermandois, and barron Michell (currently the one identified). Hugh Geoffrey of bohemia, hugh Austrian. commander of the german troops, plivilain batron, and Hugh Gibrael. as well as several commanders from Italy, and Hungary. Among the captured Balt Rhine troops, about 600 or 700 people decided to convert to Islam, after an invitation from Mahmud Pasha. who was later released. as for the rest, it was decided to be sold as slaves. Mahmud Pasha asked his soldiers to treat the prisoners of the commander of the Balt Rhein properly. as for the commander of the crusaders outside the Rumelia peninsula. Mahmud asked his troops to beheaded all of them. assuming their presence in rumelia is far more dangerous than the Balt Rhein.

7 days after the victory at ashkavya, (4, month of Ak koyunlu year 77 of the Turkiye Calendar). Mahmud Pasha began to lay siege to Furullio and quickly took the city. as the Balt Rheins poured out of the city in droves. then, with an army of 40,000, Mahmud launched a siege on the city of Chielo. in the city there were only 1000 Hungarian soldiers defending the city. The Hungarian troops asked for security guarantees in exchange for the city's surrender, and they were able to leave the city safely. Mahmud agreed to this agreement. the defeat at Asykvya resulted in a weakening of the city's defenses which were controlled by the Balt Rhein. most of the soldiers, who had lost the battle, decided to flee further into the Rhein region. the big impact that was caused was that in just a few months, Mahmud Pasha succeeded in controlling the big cities in the Sud. such as Phoenicia, Espada, Humo, Seallant, Basque, Sirena, Almeja, Duna, Nina, Sal, Campana, and Scoglio.

News of the defeat at Ashkavya (the fall of Phoenicia was followed by the loss of the Sud region), was carried by Philip towards St. Michael, caused a huge stir in the Empire. Prime Minister Virigillio Louis attempted to mobilize a new expeditionary force to attack Turkiye head-on in hopes of avenging the painful defeat at the Sud. but ended with the defeat of their troops at Muchever. forced the Balt Rhein to sign a peace treaty with the Turkiye in Florence.

The Second Book of Samuel is a book dedicated to recounting the birth of the Davidic dynasty, and the promise made by God of a future redeemer who would establish an eternal Kingdom that would not be destroyed. This book of the Bible, as a historical book, describes the previous events that occurred before the reign of Solomon and his successors, which are recounted in the First and Second Book of Kings. And it was up to David with his righteousness and fear of God, as great ruler, to establish the definitive borders of the Kingdom of Israel, from Phenicia to the Sinai Desert. And not only that but also the creation of the religious capital of all the Israelites, Jerusalem, which until then was in the hands of the Jebusites, by bringing the Ark of the Covenant to the city. According to the sacred texts, King David was a person inspired, guided, and illuminated by God; this great King, despite some personal mistakes, was a clear example of what it means to govern in the name of God. This is why the Second Book of Samuel, at the end of its story, also described the last words of David, who with his thoughts left as testimony that those who govern following the divine law, follow a path blessed by God: "The inspired utterance of David son of Jesse, the utterance of the man exalted by the Most High, the man anointed by the God of Jacob, the hero of Israel's songs: ´The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; his word was on my tongue. The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me: When one rules over people in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God, he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings grass from the earth.´" 2 Samuel 23:1-4.

Pula (Sardinia). Nora. Torre del coltellazzo (or of sant'Efis) - 1639. Having reached Nora beach, which has the lagoon behind it and the church of sant'Efisio not far away (destination of the Cagliari procession on May 1st), the Coltellazzo tower (on the acropolis) stands out like an unattainable bulwark at the end of the peninsula east of the city, but it's just a nice walk. From the tower, a stupendous panorama of Nora and the western part of the Gulf of Angels is visible to the west. The foundation of Nora (VIII century BC) borders on myth; according to Pausanias it was created from Norace, iberian, of a people who settled in the homonymous peninsula coming from Phenicia and Greece (we'll talk about it again). The city was founded on pre-existing Nuragic settlements. Photos: a) Panorama from the tower with Nora and the coast up to the Teulada mountains; b) c) d) Torre del Coltellazzo, the name derives from a series of corruptions of the ancient toponym linked to being an acropolis: castellas, coltellas, cortelazo... #photos #nice #beach #like #myth #border #foundation #greece #pula #sardinia #tower #nora #having #lagoon #acropolis #different #destination #panorama #travel #traveling #visiting #instatravel #travelling #tourism #instatraveling #travelgram #travelingram #massimopistis #sovVERSIvi #estremisti @monumentiaperti @gruppointerventogiuridico @sarduspater Information for the purchase of my new book "Estremisti!": The book at a cost of 12.00 euros (120 pages), can be ordered in the bookstore (ISBN 978-88-591-5719-9 - Editore Aletti) or requested to the e-mail [email protected] with additional postage (currently 1.28 euros - fold of books). https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNua8Ou7Cx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MARK ANTONY’S GALEA

According to legend, this helmet was offered to Mark Antony by Cleopatra in 34 BC.

The Queen appointed Egypt's finest metallurgists and jewelers to the task. Her craftsmen forged the base from polished steel and covered it with gold. They hung Horus' falcon wings - gleaming with lapis lazuli, garnet and turquoise - over each cheek plate, just as he appeared in Cleopatra's vision. The very symbol of Isis-the solar disc nestled in Hathor's horns-covered her forehead. Amun in the form of a large horned ram protected her back. Winged lions adorned the sides and a mighty sphinx, with the face of the queen herself, balanced against the crest of a brilliant red Roman horsehair.

When Antony returned to Alexandria, the queen presented him with the magnificent helmet before her victory parade through the city. Antony was later said to have admitted that he felt a stranger might lift him as he slid the ornate helmet over his head.

Seeing the Roman general protected by the most powerful gods in Egypt, the Egyptians roared in approval. The helmet became the symbol of a future where Egypt and Rome - the east and the west - joined together to create a more stable empire.

At the end of the parade, Antony granted Cyprus, Libya and Syria to the queen. For his three sons by Cleopatra - two sons and a daughter - he gave territories in Armenia, Media, Phenicia and Syria.

The Egyptians were overjoyed at the expansion of the Egyptian territories. But the Romans were horrified.

Antony's rival Octavian condemned the general's “betrayal” of Roman customs: "how dare he achieve a Roman triumph in foreign lands? How dare he give Roman lands to a foreign queen and her illegitimate offspring? How dare he wear an Egyptian helmet that elevated the queen's image above the Roman symbol of war? Surely this was proof that she had left him unguarded!"

When word of his supposed disloyalty spread, Antony put his helmet aside. Soon after, Octavian declared war on Cleopatra.

Three years after the helmet's creation, Antony and Cleopatra's navy faced Octavian in Actium, Greece. But Octavian's continuing campaign against Antony for “choosing the Egyptian queen over Roman duty” took its toll. Many of the general's allies and officers turned against him.

On the day of the battle Cleopatra asked Antony to wear the helmet. He refused. He had heard the whispers of his own men questioning his loyalty.

The Helmet Was Redesigned by Custom Prototypes of Toronto and won the honors in the 2017/8 International 3D Printing Contest.
