The Last Gambit

Moreover, – smiled Mahmud.

The car turned to two-storey Mauritania-style mansion and stopped near tracery gates of the beautiful fence, decorated with garlands of white rambling rose. The master himself met them and introduced Holmes to nice swarthy woman dressed in blue Indian sari.

Three years ago a small group from Russia came to Cairo for the restoration of the business relations between our countries, which had been broken after August of 1991. Until 1991 I’ve got a stable business in Moscow and some other USSR cities. My furniture found a market in certain circles. But after the USSR break-up in new Russia some half-bandit structures appeared. They laid my shops under crippling tribute and thus I decided to put an end to my business in that country realizing that I was going to loose the majority of my money. The new Russian government made wide declarations to the world that the controlled economy had been demolished and the society was building the market economy. Nonetheless all the serious businessmen watched only the economy destruction in the whole Former Soviet Union. My visits to Moscow and Petersburg assured me that the pompous proclamations of the new regime were far from the economical reality, which was forming in the country. That’s why I agreed to take part in the conversation with that group. I wished to understand what really was going on in Russia, which I had always been interested in, rather than to recover some lost business.

The negotiating group was quite miscellaneous. Obviously there were those who were always looking for making a good hand of their country’s troubles. But also there were some new, at first totally inapprehensible people. They neatly told about their view on the global historical process and the Russia’s special place in it. The special place is not as an exclusive role of Russians, as for instance Hebrews understand their Peculiarity. But special since any nation’s culture, its history, traditions, customs are always unrepeatable and necessary for the integral culture of the futures united humanity formation. They also had their own view on the history of Ancient Egypt, which they considered to be the cradle of the modern Western civilization. They took a particular interest in the period of religious reforms of Ehnaton, the tenth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty. According to their opinion this pharaoh even in his childhood got an afflatus about the monotheism, which he expressed in the famed hymns to Aten (Aton). They earnestly argued this version comparing the hymns to Aten with the Koran’s lines and showed their identity not only in the contention but also in rhythmic; and that impressed me greatly. The conflict between Ehnaton and Amon-Ra’s hierarchy is described in details at many historical monographs. But public used to think that it had been a conflict between a person and a religious clan. I’ve never met the versions about such conflicts between hierophants themselves, who really exercised the stable ruling of the Egyptian civilization at least for three mille

Russians consider Moses to be one of the first Ehnaton’s followers. He attempted to realize the ideas, which the monotheist pharaoh, who openly opposed the Amon-Ra’s hierarchy, was devoted to. But also they think that Moses’ project failed because it had been in advance inserted into the global hierophants’ project of keeping the atheism in people minds. As a result Moses was most likely killed during the first year of the “Sinai picnic”, which became the initial – the advertising stage of the enclosing project. And the temple’s slaves who had been a usual tribe of Semitic nomads before their capture and had gone (or been expatriated?) with Moses found themselves in a specific concentration camp as a result of work of the enclosing script. There during forty-two years an inhuman (in the whole meaning) experiment on them was held. And Moses is co

As you can see the story is quite involved and it’s really hard for understanding until exceeding the bounds of the limitations set on psyche by the culture we were born and grew in. But an attempt to remove these limitations opens the certain perspective for getting out of the dead-end, where does the modern civilizations stay in.

Excuse me, Mr. Salem. What have you meant when told of the specific concentration camp and the inhuman experiment on Semitic nomads?

Mr. Holmes, have you ever been in Sinai desert?

Never.

I’m strongly recommending you, moreover our travel agencies organise special picnics there for those who rests at Charm-al-Sheikh resorts. If you had been there it would be easier to explain many things. Be sure that noting has changed for the three mille

According to the Russian’s version, those who escaped the Sinai desert should have differed greatly from other their contemporaries on the psychological level by their particular adaptability to any changes of the external sociological environment. In other words, the hierophants in the “Sinai walking-tour” created an instrument of the futures world-domination. They did it so as to make this instrument believe in such a mission and so as to make all surrounding tribes and folks believe in the instrument’s mission. Thus the hierophants on their own created conditions for forming the myth of the "zid-masonic[62]" plot. And behind the curtain of that easy-exposable myth they being untroubled could realize the concentration of different powers and productive forces of the mankind.
