Here is my question....which set?.......and is there anything else?...

Keep in mind the first set of the Commandments was destroyed when he cast them at the golden idol the Israelites had created.

ER

As with any good organization, things were put down at least in duplicate. Rumor has it the fragments of the set you mentioned were also put in the Arc, along with some manna and a rod. As a Catholic Warrior Monk, if I divulge any more, I would have to kill you. 

BTW, interesting display of secular banter!

There is some speculation that there were two arks one containing each set.  ONly one was kept with the isrealites until it was conquered by the philistines.

I have another idea of the contents of the ark, but for that you will have to dive in with both feet to see the way.  It is a long journey with many twists and turns, and perhaps should be in a thread of its own.....
I am truly looking for some educated viewpoints on the matter for a book I am working on.  If you are interested come join me at my table and we shall drink a flaggan of fine English Ale.

And as for the secular banter....ohhh be careful, it comes from a deep well of mental dysfunction and perversion.....

Although the thread was developed to discuss the military aspects and exploits of the Medieval Military Orders, I for one am game to hear of your AoC possibilities. I've survived larger heresies.

If you are interested come join me at my table and we shall drink a flaggan of fine English Ale.

On this I will pass, although I have lived the line of "drinking like a Templar", I prefer water or a Saracen liquid some called coffee. Ocassionally the frozen, flavored gift of the bovine is a treat.

And as for the secular banter....ohhh be careful, it comes from a deep well of mental dysfunction and perversion.....

That is a cross you'll have to bear on your own.....

A miracle....Mikael of Aragon has returned.  How blessed we all are to have your voice added to the choir.  To share in your art is a pleasure as well.

And despite your warnings:

DEFINITELY expect nonsensical verbage at times. 

You're making perfect sense to me.

I mean, don't they already have us by the nads as it is?

La bienvenida de vuelta

Story begins with the first Monotheistic government....It was not Hebrew...It was the Egyptians of the 18th Dynasty.  A young Pharoah changed everything.  He rejected the gods of his fathers and set upon high one god  who had no equal.  He was the Horizon...a term meaing the begining and the end....the Greeks later changed this to the Alpha and the Omega.  His touch was fel by all of those who desired to feel it, but his life was given only to one....His son....The great Pharoah Akhenaten The royal cartouches place his reign somewhere about 1370 to 1340 BCE.

that is one leg of our story....Another begins about this time period.  but with another pharoah in power according to hebrew texts....A boy placed in a reed ark and floated down the nile to avoid being put to the knife as all of the other first born hebrew boys.  His aunt, a handmaiden to the pharonic daughter saw him and alerted the princess.  She had him brought out of the water and placed in her arms..(To be drwn out of the water is the hebrew term for MOSES)  Using the ages of the descendants of Moses, the time of the arrival into goshen and the sojourn in egypt the hebrew scholars put his birth and life around 1340 to 125 BCE. 


Still interested?  Shall we continue?

lol, with all the avatar changing, I think I need to change myself!

[Sir William Marcus]

I don't Poofie... it's you!

[Poof Bird]

ah but this one fits too! 

And it's thanks to your lovely post, I might add!

[Femme Falchion]

Chevalière Poofie....The new avatar is great. (Sir William is blessed with many talents!)

That's quite an intimidating ornithoid you've got there.  Does she perch on your shoulder as you joust?

You're talking about a time and people that had a vast pantheon of Gods. Your reference is especially noted for attempting to compel the Egyptian population in the monotheistic worship of Aten, although there are doubts as to how successful he was at this. Since he tried to place his towards the top of diety food chain of the time.

Their period was also marked by quite a few military actions.

It would, however, be Tutankhaten, who would abandon the capital of Akhenaten, along with the cult of its god. And resume business as usual.
