Chapter 608 The Three Great Gods of the Yamato Islands

"Brother Roy!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Procne turned around in surprise.

Seeing that Roy really appeared in front of his eyes, Procne said in disbelief.

"Am I dreaming?"

"This is reality!"

Roy said with a smile.

"Procne, I'm back."

After speaking, Roy opened his hands to Procne.

Procne immediately burst into tears and threw herself into Roy's arms.

Seeing Procne burst into tears, and soon wet his clothes with unstoppable tears, Roy said guiltily.

"Sorry, I should have gotten back to you sooner."

Procne shook his head and said.

"Phiromela and her children need brother Loy more, and brother Loy should be by their side."

"Silly girl! Don't you want to be a mother and have your children?"

Procne immediately fell silent.

As she grew older, Procne saw many girls she knew became mothers of similar age, and she certainly had the idea of ​​becoming a mother.

Roy hugged Procne in a princess hug and said.

"We have been separated for so long, let me make it up to you! From now on, I will be by your side day and night until you have a child."

"Brother Roy..."

Procne said in disbelief.

"You really will always be by my side?"

"Of course! Being by your side will not affect my operation of the war machine of the Athens Empire."

A blink of an eye.

The time enters 1594 BC.

March.

Roy stayed in Athens for half a year.

For the past six months, Roy has been with Procne every day and night.

The Indian Ocean Fleet of the Athens Empire also made an expedition to the East under the command of Roy.

Under Roy's hard work, Procne is now six months pregnant, as evidenced by her prominent belly.

Roy also had the idea of ​​leaving Athens after the expedition fleet stopped advancing.

The Royal Palace of Athens.

After a delightful afternoon with Procne, Lowe spoke his mind over dinner.

The empathetic Procne naturally wouldn't keep Roy.

late at night.

Procne burst into tears in his sleep.

Luo Yi wiped away the tears on her face, and then disappeared from the palace without a sound.

Far East.

Honshu Island.

The temple built for Roy by the Athenian navy on the expedition to the East.

It's still night in Athens, but it's already sunny day here.

Roy teleported to the sky above the temple, thinking that he had come to a certain peninsula in the mainland of China.

After flying tens of thousands of meters into the sky and looking down at the ground, Roy found out that he was on Honshu Island.

The purpose of Roy's command of the Athenian Navy's expedition to the East is to make the Athenian Navy the vanguard of conquering the mainland of China.

Unexpectedly, the expedition fleet rushed over and came to occupy a corner of the Yamato Islands in the east.

Located on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the Yamato Islands are an arc-shaped island country extending from northeast to southwest, including four large islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and more than 6800 other small islands, with a total area of ​​37.8 square kilometers.

The confirmed human history on the Yamato Islands dates back about 3 to 10 years ago.

About 1 years ago, due to the end of the last ice age, it began to warm rapidly, which caused great changes in people's culture and life, and the entire island entered the next Jomon period.

People at this time made Jomon-style pottery, and moved towards settlement after the early days, and most of them lived in semi-underground houses.

Hunting with bows and arrows, fishing in shell mounds, collecting plants, etc. are used to manage life, using stone tools, polished stone tools, bone horn tools, etc., and planting rice in the late to late period.

The Jomon period of the Yamato Islands officially ended in 300 BC, and the Paleolithic period began to enter the Neolithic period.

It is now 1594 BC, 300 years before the Yamato Islands entered the Neolithic Age.

In other words, the current Yamato Islands are in the Paleolithic age.

The Athenians with iron civilization came to the Yamato Islands in the Paleolithic Age. Not to mention conquering the Yamato Islands by reducing dimensionality, it is not surprising that they were regarded as gods by the aborigines with backward civilization.

In another world, Yamato myths are intricate, and there are even sayings of 800 million gods.

But looking back at the origin, the sun god Amaterasu, the moon god Tsukiyomi, and the sea god Susanoo are undoubtedly the three gods with the highest status.

The sun god Amaterasu represents sun worship.

In ancient times, sun worship was widespread all over the world, and the sun god was regarded as the supreme god.

It is normal for the Yamato Islands to worship the sun god. The only special point is that the sun god of the Yamato Islands, Amaterasu, is a goddess.

Perhaps the aborigines of the Yamato Islands retained the goddess worship from the matriarchal era.

Perhaps Amaterasu, the sun god, is also the clone of the ancient earth goddess, who evolved into a sun goddess in order to meet the needs of human beings in the Yamato Islands.

Although Luna Tsukuyoming is one of the three highest-ranking gods in the Yamato Islands along with the sun god Amaterasu and the sea god Susanoo, Luna Tsukiyomiming itself does not have a strong authority.

Like most moon gods in the world, they exist as vassals of the sun god.

Unlike Amaterasu's clear identity as the Sun Goddess, Yueyomi's gender has not been determined, it can be male or female.

There is not only the theory of twin goddesses of Amaterasu, but also the theory of male gods.

The Yamato Islands are surrounded by the sea, and fishing is an important source of food for fishermen along the coast of the Yamato Islands, which established Susano's status.

Later, with the evolution of time, Susanoo broke away from the identity of the sea god and evolved into a ferocious god of war.

Although in mythology, the sun god Amaterasu, the moon god Tsukuyomi, and the sea god Susanoo are the three siblings, the reality is not a myth.

In reality, only the sun goddess Amaterasu and the moon goddess Tsukuyomi are worshiped as twin sisters.

Susanoo, the god of the sea, has nothing to do with the sun goddess Amaterasu and the moon goddess Tsukuyomi.

Therefore, in the myth of the sun god Amaterasu and the sea god Susanoo, Susanoo left the sea and came to Amaterasu's territory, and Amaterasu immediately armed himself and prepared to fight.

Susanoo stayed in Gaotianyuan and refused to leave, so Amaterasu kept hiding in Tianyando.

Amaterasu didn't leave Amano Iwato until Susanoo left.

The reality prototype corresponding to this myth.

Obviously, the coastal tribes who worshiped Susanoo went deep into the inland and robbed food and women from the inland residents-the tribes who worshiped Amaterasu.

So in this myth, Amaterasu and Susanoo had three daughters, five boys and eight children.

The myth that Susanoo kills Yamata no Orochi and obtains the Amazono Cloud Sword and Qi Inada Ji is also related to Amaterasu, which seems to prove that Amaterasu is also the goddess of the earth in the form of a snake.

In the myth of Amaterasu and Susanoo, Amaterasu and Susanoo had eight children.

In the myth of Susanoo and Yamata no Orochi, Ki Inada Hime is the eighth daughter of his parents, and Yamata no Orochi is a snake demon with eight heads and eight tails.

Eight - is the number that links Amaterasu to Yamata no Orochi and Ki Inada Hime.

In the long history, in order to survive, the coastal people who worship Susanoo must have waged many wars against the inland residents to seize food and women.

Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun, is the patron saint of inland residents.

The Yamata no Orochi with eight heads and eight tails is the image of Amaterasu being belittled.

The eighth daughter Qi Inada Hime married to Susanoo——

The name paddy field symbolizes food.

The name Ji means a woman.

Amaterasu, who had three daughters and five sons with Susano, was married to Susano's Ki Inada Hime.
