The Egyptian Page #8

Synopsis: In eighteenth-dynasty Egypt, Sinuhe, a poor orphan, becomes a brilliant physician and with his friend Horemheb is appointed to the service of the new Pharoah. Sinuhe's personal triumphs and tragedies are played against the larger canvas of the turbulent events of the 18th dynasty. As Sinuhe is drawn into court intrigues, and bizarre secrets are revealed to him, he learns the answers to the questions he has sought since his birth. Short on historical accuracy but strong on plot and characterization.

we met in the desert.

Yes, it was at dawn.

I hoped that one day,

was the sunrise of the world,

but you killed a lion,

shedding their blood on the sand.

Violence must be

faced with violence.

Drink, majesty,

to our memories.

Sinuhe, inviting me to drink?

Yes.

I drank ... death, Sinuhe?

Yes, your majesty.

So be it.

It's my fault.

Gave me what I asked,

but was wrong when asked.

I was weak.

I thought my God,

had abandoned me.

Not so, Sinuhe ...

not like you killed him

believes it did.

Horemheb tries to kill him

destroying their temples ...

But the house of God

is all creation.

Tear down the mountains,

empty the oceans,

undress the sky of stars,

and yet not have

touched God.

Now I see clearly.

I thought God

was the face of the sun ...

and was so

I made your image.

But God is more than that ...

more.

The sun is just a symbol,

its warmth ...

of his creative power.

Not an image ...

is not a tangible thing ...

but the creator

of all things ...

is the spirit of love that lives

within our hearts.

I am luckier

than other men ...

because He allowed me to

recognize him.

Stay close to me

Sinuhe friend.

I can not see it right

but I feel no pain.

Did not give him pain

some, your majesty.

Neither my death matter.

I was not more than one

shadow of things to come.

A voice that spoke for Him

But there will be other voices,

lighter than mine.

The hearts of men

not be denied forever.

God is within us all.

One day,

the time will come

that your voice be heard.

With words that can not

be misunderstood.

The other lied to

me, Sinuhe.

But I think you

really loved me.

God forgives everything, Sinuhe.

He will forgive you.

Poor soul ...

crazy till the end.

Offer sacrifices

the gods on his behalf.

Do not refuse me now ...

for I am one of them.

Am Egypt!

His cup, Sinuhe!

Drink with me ...

Drink at the beginning

of a new Egypt!

Horemheb ...

do not drink it ...

or not Egypt!

or anything else.

How dare you?

Put the crown and browse

Princess.

Will be very surprised because

is not waiting for you.

But it can prevail

and become divine.

You even dare!

You are the pharaoh

Egypt wants.

But it was not so

I saved it ...

Do not thank me for

your life.

Thank this poor fool,

sick here ...

it was he who saved

us.

Saved me?

You are crazy too?.

I am Pharaoh.

Silence!

The Pharaoh's coming.

Knees.

On his knees before the Living God!

Majesty!

The commanders of the armies

defeated ...

beg mercy to Pharaoh.

I will deal with them later ...

Let the doctor approaching!

-Kneel!

Let him stand.

What are the charges against

this man?

Manifested in public

against the Pharaoh ...

Belittled the victories of the Pharaoh

Syria and the land of the Hittites.

Blasphemed against the gods

and committed other acts of treason.

Once we got together

in front of the throne.

and you asked for

save my life.

Is anyone willing to

intercede for this man?

And you, my devoted wife?

No.

Must speak for itself, Doctor.

Not by me, your majesty ...

And yes for those whose memory ...

tried to forget ...

Whose respectable name

tried to destroy.

By Akhneton!

You bear your

treason in my face?

This name is banned!

Take care, doctor ...

or I'll ...

Go, go, whatever you want.

Win some other battle?

Conquer lands

without knowing the defeat?

Egypt will take the glory,

and will watch it die?

We live in decay

of our world, Horemheb ...

And you represent this decline.

Nations grow

only to fall.

Kings build

powerful monuments ...

only to become

in dust.

The glory is fleeting

like a shadow.

All these things take itself

the seed of death.

Just a thought

can withstand ...

just a great realization

that can grow and prosper ...

and a truth can never be killed ...

passes in secret

heart of one man to another;

It is given to child

by mother's milk.

You are trying to say he would fight

against me?

Oh! You also win this ...

because it fails to silence me.

know what to do.

What do doctor?

Walk among the people

and try to answer questions

that burn their hearts.

The question that has me

pursued for a lifetime.

and everywhere

I spent in the world ..

and I answered ...

by a dying man.

I shall wear clothes of a slave ...

I will remove your sandals ...

and tell their wives

while your fish fry

the riverbanks.

Shippers from docks,

the smiths at their forges,

slaves with their play.

And tell you:

a man can not be judged

the color of their skin,

by their clothes, their

jewelry or their triumphs ...

but only for your heart.

A good man is

better than a bad man.

Justice is better

that injustice.

Pity that using

is higher than that uses violence,

despite the latter considered Pharaoh

and become the landlord.

We have only one Lord:

the God who created us all.

Only His truth is immortal,

and His truth, all

men are equal.

No man is unique.

The Verdict:

Exile for life!

I spent my life

seeking knowledge,

and that's all I know.

I wrote this for you, my son,

wherever you are ...

and for their children and

their children's children.

It is a very poor legacy ...

But it's all I have.

THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST.
