How to Become a Knight

When fully trained, a squire could be made a knight by their lord, usually when between the ages of 18 and 21.
A knight was expected to be chivalrous at all times.

A knight faced having his status removed and good name sullied forever if he were guilty of serious misdemeanours like fleeing a battle
, committing heresy or treason. There was even a rule against a knight spending money too frivolously.

The most common
leisure activity
for knights was hunting

To reach this elevated position became more and more challenging as the Middle Ages wore on because the elite wished to maintain their exclusive status.

Pharaoh Ramesses II

The Abu Simbel site covers two temples next to each other.
The largest one is to glorify Ramses II, the famous four huge statues at its facade all show himself at various ages. The second temple at Abu Simbel is dedicated to Nefertari, one of the wives of Ramses II who was of Nubian descent. Nefertari’s name means the most beautiful.

The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC
, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his alleged victory at the Battle of Kadesh, and to intimidate his Nubian neighbors.

Keeper of Harmony
and
Balance

Ramesses II was the third pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty (1292-1186 BCE) who claimed to have won a decisive victory over the Hittites at The Battle of Kadesh and used this event to enhance his reputation as a great warrior.

TIPS FOR SURVIVALISTS

There are many little clues in nature that can help you find the North.
The north star always points to the true north no matter the season.

Look for moss on a tree trunk. Mosses usually grow as far away from sunlight and are often found on the north side of the trees and rocks.
If the tree or rock is covered in moss, it will be thickest on the north side.

Foraging
Lighting fire techniques
Direction finding

If the sun is out, put a stick in the ground and mark the end of the shadow of the stick on the ground. Wait for a few minutes; the shadow will move. Now mark the end of the new position of the shadow. The line joining those two points will run east-west.

BODY LANGUAGE

Your cat is definitely trying to communicate with you using parts of its body, including its eyes, ears, and tail.
Most people have seen cats with their tails held up high. This is actually an indication of trust.

Wild animals usually find a small cave or hide behind rocks. Finding a safe space is their natural instinct.
When ears are pointed backwards, the cat is extremely agitated and irritated and will not hesitate to attack you.

Cats
will blatantly
ignore you

They are extremely stubborn and self-centered beings. Unlike dogs, Cats cannot be ordered to sit still and stop bothering you.
