May I introduce myself? My name is Thomas, Apostle Thomas, which translates to "the twin." This is my personal story as Apostle Thomas. I received the message to retell the story, as essential things had been falsified, distorted and invented. Now it is the time of purity, clarity and truth, to retell the events in love and to put them in the right light. I am aware of the great responsibility that has to be carried on my shoulders. This life has been revisited and has shown itself with all the suffering and pain in order to transform it, but the love that is in it is immeasurable. The information comes from my soul memory and was given to me by light angels and companions from the highest divine source. I have waited 2000 years to write these lines so that the events of the world can be fulfilled. Now "the twelve" are gathering the light from all their resurrections to save the Christ consciousness. Who was Apostle Thomas, where was he born, where did he live, what deeds did he do with Jesus and his companions, in what places did they work, and what happened to him and his beloved wife, who had always been by his side? Open your mind to the truth. So be it, so be it, so be it.

Logion 5, Gospel of Thomas
Dear readers,
First of all, I would like to thank you for your being, your work and for the fact that you have decided to read this book. There are several reasons why they are reading this book: It could be that they are simply a seeker, a seeker of the truths and wisdom of the universe that are reflected in many stories and events. And he who seeks, he will find. But it could also be that they have a karmic theme with it. Perhaps they were incarnated at that time and heard of him, perhaps even listened to him or his companions, or were closer to him than you think. Maybe you'll figure it out. Have fun on your personal journey in this incarnation you have chosen. So, there's a good reason why you're here reading this book.
Why am I writing a book about the Apostle Thomas? Why do I call this book "My Life as the Apostle Thomas"? If you have read my last work, "The Jesustwins," you already know the answer. I'll explain it to them like this:
After my near-death experience at the age of six, I was open to the spiritual world and was already interested in the afterlife, Master Jesus and ancient Egypt at this age. I was fascinated and couldn't stop being amazed. It was true childlike joy of life and a thirst for research. Seventeen years ago, a message came from a medium that my family would go to South America for a few years because we are among the chosen ones. I couldn't do anything with these messages. Now we are sitting in South America, indeed. And here the personal rise in consciousness has not only increased, but it has also risen exponentially, hardly to put into words. A few years ago, the palm leaf was read to all of us by the Brahmins. Again, the message was clear, and yet not clear. The Brahmin said that writing was my elixir, that I should keep going as I was guided. But where will I be guided? The Brahmin expressed that my knowledge and wisdom will still be very important to people in the future. I couldn't quite put that into perspective either. Thoughts went through my head, such as:
"I can't be that important. I'm a seeker, yes, of course. But so are many others too. I am a simple family man with two children, I am not a guru, not a Brahmin or anything like that. What's to come?"
Afterwards, my wife and I received a visit from dimensional travelers from the spirit world who conveyed messages to us. Always with the same content. When asked what is coming and whether I can prepare, I always said: "Your wisdom and knowledge will guide you. You'll find out when the time comes." That was unsatisfactory. But in the end, it was exactly as it was told to us. It just came into our lives because it was predestined and according to our soul plan.
One day, Master Jesus appeared to us. He told us that we were often by his side and always had the same and common goal in mind. The early Christianity, to establish the light, and to maintain the Christ consciousness. This happened in countless joint incarnations, even in the time before Jesus, because he was always there. Whether as Marduk, Osiris, Baldur, Nefertiti, Buddha, Hennoch, Melchizedek and after his time as Jesus. There, for example, as Thibaud Gaudin, Henry II, Henry V, Louis XIII, and other incarnations.
His father Joseph was just as often at his side. Whether as Isis, Ishtar, Forseti, Joseph himself, Leopold III, Count of Saint Germain or Christian Rosenkreuz.
Mary Magdalene incarnated as Amun, the oracle of Karnak, as Mathilde of England and as Mary Magdalene herself.
Jesus' adversary, Emperor Tiberius, was also often an adversary. For example, as Seth, Catherine de Medici, Lady de Winter or Napoleon Bonaparte.
"Blessed is he who was before he became! Become passers-by."
Then came the order to write a book about it. Likewise, the message was conveyed that I was now ready and had benefited from my time of retreat, but now it was time again to show myself and preach his teachings. My sighted and clairvoyant wife also plays a central role in this, as we have great powers together. Phew, I thought to myself. That's a tough one. What is required of me here? What is this great responsibility to bear? I just didn't want to take on this role, which I had apparently chosen myself over and over again. It was all too crazy for me. But with time, many more messages and a process of spiritual change, it was clear. In the end, that's exactly how I chose it. All previous incarnations have led to this point. It is what it is, how it is. At Amen. If I had not been able to accomplish this task, it would never have been given to me. So, let's get to work, with joy, as much lightness as possible and heartfelt love for the cause and my fellow human beings.
A channeling with a professional medium had confirmed it shortly afterwards. This medium didn't know anything about me. This medium works in such a way that it closes the eyes, and someone speaks through them. The session began with the words: "If you were wondering who is speaking here. There can only be this one. You walked for a long time by my side as an apostle...". Confirmations everywhere. She also spoke of the fact that the time of my healthy retreat was now over and that I should show myself more. I should stand by my task, no matter how some people may think about it. A regression with another medium clearly showed the life of the apostle Thomas. The end of this life was also shown in pictures and caused mental and physical pain in the here and now. Whenever I talk about it, it still often brings tears to my eyes. I published the whole story about this in the previous book, "The Jesustwins", also the content of the reading and the regression1.
Being an apostle is something many people think of as an accolade, something very special. This may well be the case to some extent, but everything has its downsides. Being an apostle, disciple, or companion of Jesus at that time entailed persecution, ridicule, rotten tomatoes, torture, and often brutal and painful martyrdom. So, it wasn't necessarily the most beautiful experience on a worldly level. However, I must confess that the thought of him always ensures that I can open my heart. In my current life, he also made sure that I could feel the "Unconditional Love" within me. For a moment, completely free from any injury, suffering or rejection. It's an indescribable feeling that you can hardly put into words. You want to embrace and love the whole world, every tree, every plant, every animal, and every human being, even the worst enemy. You just want to pass on this love for the healing of all. The work on this and the previous book was a huge amount of research. It required the wonderful cooperation with several mediums and my beloved wife to receive details from the world's memory as accurately as possible. And believe me, the information from the Akashic Records is much more valuable than any history book or tradition. It is not subjective, but objective. Every written story is always presented from the writer's point of view. Interview several eyewitnesses to a crime. You will be surprised how different the statements will be. The Akashic Records, on the other hand, simply show what it was like. Without any emotion at all. We'll add those. However, not all information channeled so far is correct. But why is that? In my view, there are two important aspects to consider. On the one hand, it is possible that some people had put a seal on sensitive information. So, they will come to a point in this novel where I represent that the Gospel of Luke was written by a woman. It was the wife of Luke's nephew. A woman named Mary, wife of Lucius of Cyrene. Why was this not known until now? About 100 years ago, Edgar Cayce had received the information from the world's memory that it was Lucius of Cyrene, not his wife. Is that why he was wrong? No, dear reader. On the contrary. In his time, he was right. There was a seal on it. Well, in the present time of cosmic consciousness-raising, more is now being revealed than it was 100 years ago. The magic seal was placed on it because it would have been unthinkable at that time for a woman to write a gospel. That would have been highly dangerous and, in the worst case, would have cost her life. So, it had to be sealed so that this information could not be retrieved so easily. Just ask about the case of the "Agora," about which a brilliant film was produced. The scholar, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher, "Hypatia of Alexandria," represented Plato's teachings around 400 AD and taught them in Alexandria. The ecclesiastical teacher, "Cyril of Alexandria," was a thorn in the side of a woman as a lecturer. He incited the people against them with religious slogans. She was brutally tortured, murdered, and dismembered.
The second aspect is that the morphogenetic field appears like an animated field. It only ever reveals the information that may be made available to humanity at the present time. This field knows no space and no time. And now, at this moment of humanity, the time seems to have come for the truth to be revealed. Also, the truth about the true work of Master Jesus and his companions. The Earth's magnetic field is becoming weaker and weaker, allowing sensitive people more connection to the field, to the ether. Oh, and there is a third point that comes to mind. Anyone can theoretically channel and decipher messages. If, on the other hand, you don't do it right, it can happen that you don't channel yourself, but are channeled through you. Many don't even realize it themselves. There can be another being, pretending to be someone else, providing them with a lot of misinformation.
In addition to the wonderful work with many media, further comparison with the history was imminent. What do we find in old records, despite the fact that they have been falsified? And I was extremely surprised and amazed at how much can still be found. Tacitus, for example, is for me one of the most ingenious falsifiers of history that ever existed. He not only knew how to falsify history, change times, blame certain events and descendants on others and paint a false picture. It's much more ingenious! Like Leonardo da Vinci, he knew how to encrypt the truth and yet take it with him. If you know where to look, you can still find out almost all the truths. He had hidden them well, but certainly also wanted the possibility of deciphering them. So, I spent thousands of hours not only with Tacitus researching and translating into German traditions of antiquity, especially the period from about 50 B.C. to 100 A.D. Anyone who has read my last book knows who Tacitus really was1, because we were also able to decipher a lot about him. He was a master of camouflaging his identities. In this novel, too, we will come across many passages in which we accept ancient Roman records to support the chain of circumstantial evidence. Be curious with me.
Know what is before your face, and what is hidden from you will be revealed.
I would like to thank all people of light from the bottom of my heart for their support of my work and wish them and their families God's blessing, light and love.
Hans Peter
PS: You will be able to read the note "1" in some places. This means that this topic has already been presented in detail in my book "The Jesustwins" and is not discussed too deeply here.
A few more words about the content of the book and the messages from the spiritual world associated with it. Anyone who has read my book "The Jesustwins" knows that I basically did not write it myself. I have been and still am a host of bright angels and beings at my side, who guide and guide me, who whisper the way to the truth in my ear. That's why I'd like to share something very private with them personally. I quote you some excerpts from conversations with various oracles, ambassadors, mediums, and Brahmins with whom I have worked closely. Read for yourself:
"Beloved Son, Beloved Father, Beloved Master. Now it's about you, going into your power and power. These words of ours are your preparation for your work on higher levels and other circles of light. How should we put it: When a Messiah or his brother is addressed. Every single word that you have reported has been and is accompanied by the highest levels of God, because there may be a kind of enlightenment by you. Now is exactly the time to do so.
You will now work through the power of your mind and the issues of the heart. Now the time has come! You have waited thousands of years for the time to come when there will be a Messiah, where there will still be a Messiah. And where this story now, tells, that you tell about it and it is explained. Because your story began many thousands of years before the birth of Christ. This means that Christ's birth was not the beginning, because the beginning lay in the history of the origin of mankind, of the earth, of all-encompassing being. Already there you were given. It was already clear that there would be a man who, in due course, thousands of years later, would go into the Declaration, into the Enlightenment. And thus, the world events are also fulfilled. And thus, your world plan is also fulfilled inside and outside. Beloved Son: The point is that you had to invest a lot of energy, that you had to experience a lot of confrontations and mutations, so that you would now be healed, blessed, and lifted. You have often messed with the other side of the light and appeared full of light. You have never served the king or the pope, but only your firm and unshakable faith. The messages you have received are pure truth, clarity, and purity. Everything that is happening now is in harmony with the highest levels of God. You hold the energy of different places and places and provide a new field of truth, clarity, and purity all over the world. And so go, and this is how you also work, beloved son: be again the apostle that you were, be the Messiah you were again, be God in action again, that you have been for a very long time. And now it's time for us to hand over the scepter to the Masters of Light:
Beloved Master. We are led by Melchizedek. And we come to your side today. In the name of the highest initiates, who were also at the number 12. In the name of the highest levels of Jesus, who were also at the number 12. In the name of the highest levels of your birth, light and incarnations, we are now gathering the light from all your resurrections. From those lives in which war and peace were still a kind of struggle, and we now let the light of peace shine in each of your cells. This new book of yours and the previous book we would call "Holy Scripture." We deliberately don't say the Bible. But it contains truths that not everyone will be equally aware of. Some chapters of the book are still a kind of "book with 7 seals", not everyone will understand it immediately because some of the energy in the collective is still in the process of transformation. This means that many will understand many things, but not the entire work. It will shake the world a little because not everyone is ready for the truth yet, and not everyone wants to know the truth. Make sure that you hold the energy of clarity, purity and truth, stability, and protection. The Merkaba, the star tetrahedron, as well as the body tetrahedron will rotate faster when this book is read. You already published this book once 4,000 years ago. And now the time has come again. It is the Book of Enlightenment; it is the Book of Books.
And now be blessed because that's what you came here for. Jesus is alive, isn't he? Jesus did not die on the cross. And a lot will change now. Now is the time to take down the cross and celebrate the resurrection. Make sure that the peace in your body has now taken place. And know: You are never alone. An army of lights, an army of angels, under the patronage of Michael's energy, is at your disposal. So go and act as a peacemaker again.
In this sense, the highest level of protection at all levels. You are carried and guided, the Father's Son is activated. That's how it was, that's how it should be, and that's how it's predestined. It is, it is, it is opened. Amen, Amen, Amen."
Dear readers. These and other messages have reached us over and over again in recent years. My intuition, supported by many regressions and memories, underpins these lines. In the revelation of these messages, I would like to emphasize one thing: You should only recognize that the contents of the novels "The Jesustwins" and "My Life as the Apostle Thomas" are intended to make us think again and to put us all on the path of light. Several Brahmins told me that it was my job to make ancient but important knowledge and wisdom that was hidden accessible to people again. And this is exactly what I want to convey to them with my books and make them accessible. It is about finding our way back to true faith, about reawakening the true, light, and loving God in us, because many people have become blind. Discover the Christ in you and we will all be able to experience unimaginable miracles. The whole cosmos, the whole universal structure, is now geared towards it. The cosmic elevation of consciousness allows us to rediscover all this in this unique time, and to remember it to live. Even though I have been a Messiah in some lifetimes, even though I have been an apostle, even though I have been on the road with my beloved wife as the one we call King, Pharaoh, or God today. What was, that was, the past has passed. Now it's the essence of it all that counts. What did I, what did they learn from their countless incarnations? Which of these do I implement in the here and now? How can I, how can she be an ideal for others whose example one can follow? The mere fact that they are reading this book should show them that there is more to them than they might think. My goal is to reawaken and activate exactly that in them. Read them. Think about the extent to which you resonate with the content. What does it do to them? What feelings do they have? Maybe even memories come up? I wish it to them. And now let's turn to the main protagonist of the book and see what he has to tell us. Be curious.
May I introduce myself? My name is Thomas, Apostle Thomas. Thomas translates as "twin." Thomas, Greek "Θωμάς" is not even originally a name. It derives from the Aramaic "Taám," which means nothing more than "twin." The Greek translation of this is "Didymos". Officially, researchers don't even know what my real name was or whose twin I was. That's what we want to clear up in this book. Not all evangelists are mentioned in all scriptures. I, on the other hand, was mentioned by all the evangelists, as well as in the story of the Apostles. In Mark 6:3 I am referred to as the brother of Master Jesus. Speculation even goes so far as to discuss me as a twin brother of Jesus. We will also clear this up.
My original name is Juba II. Shortly after my birth, I was placed in the care of Juba I. and his wife, who took very good care of me. I had a very beautiful and carefree childhood until the Romans invaded us and destroyed our kingdom. Mauritania was made a vassal state of the Roman Empire. They never had a real interest in trade and peace with other peoples. They have always been driven by a destructive and imperial ideology, poverty at the bottom and decadence at the top. My parents fell victim to this hunger for power. From that point on, everything was very sad in my younger years. I was taken to Rome as a trophy, as a political hostage, in the care of the emperor's sister, Octavia. She was the first wife of "Marcus Antonius," who had a central role in my life. A good soul, mind you, after all, he later became my father-in-law through a marriage of love, which was a true rarity, a diamond of the time. Together with my wife, who had accompanied me for countless incarnations, I was appointed by the Romans as a client king in Mauritania. So, I had closeness to my people again, which was very good for us. However, even then, I was not so much king as a writer at heart. Pliny wrote the following words about me in the "Naturalis Historia":
"Iuba, Ptolemaei pater, qui primus utrique Mauretaniae imperitavit, studiorum claritate memorabilior etiam quam regno."
"Juba, the father of Ptolemy, who was the first to conquer both Mauritania, is more memorable for the brilliance of his studies than for his kingdom."
You can't leave it like that, but I forgive the good Pliny, because he didn't know any better. But actually, My beloved pharaoh and I traveled a lot around the world. I observed and recorded a lot. However, even Pliny had no idea who I really was in my heart and whom we followed in later times. In my heart, besides my wife and children, there was one thing above all: the love of God and my beloved brother Jesus, who was very close to us.
I can assure you of one thing. I was King of Mauritania, but what does it really mean to own or enter into a kingdom?
If those who precede you say to you, 'Behold, the kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of the air will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will beat you to it. Rather, the Kingdom is within you and outside of you.
My writings, including the Gospel of Thomas, I wrote all in Greek, although I was brought up in the Romans. Maybe they can guess why? They never managed to plant the Roman way of life in our heads. I have always been fascinated by Greek thought, philosophy, the basic idea of democracy, freedom of expression and sometimes turbulent discourse. Culture must not only be depicted, but it should also be lived. Peace and equality between men and women can only be exemplified. Even then, there was already the dogma of false polarities. We must wage war to keep the peace, was, is and will always be a lie. It is an immutable cosmic law that love and light are unique. So, we also called our son "Ptolemy," named after the family of my wife and her Ptolemaic roots. We named our daughter "Iulia Drusilla". If they know our history, they will understand this naming as well. Julia after Julia the Younger and her mother, Julia the Elder, who worked at the side of Jesus. Drusilla is the feminine form of Drusus, my biological father. But more about that in the following story.
Looking back on my life, as an outsider, I would ask myself the following question: How does a Mauritanian king's son who married an Egyptian pharaoh's daughter named Cleopatra VIII. Selene come to follow early Christianity and Jesus Christ? A truly good question around which this whole story will revolve. Be curious.
Have you ever thought about why in so many Gospels, including apocryphal Gospels, many statements of the disciples or of Jesus are identical in word, even almost identical in the description of events? Haven't you always found that very strange? We read these texts, adopt their content, and hardly question them. Well, then, I'm going to turn over a few stones for them:
Have they ever interviewed five different witnesses to a crime? Then please talk to a police officer. You will be surprised how different the statements will be. If you go to five doctors, you will get six opinions. It has always amazed me that the information in all the Gospels is not only similar, but even the same. That made me more than suspicious. How can that be? Impossible. Descriptions that are written down are always subject to subjective perception, including the contents of this book, because they have arisen from my point of view, from my essence. They would have had to repeat and memorize everything spoken from the first source, Jesus, countless times. Did they always have something to write by their side? "Stop, Master Jesus. Five of us write a little slowly. Please repeat everything again." And if there is nothing to write about. How long do they need to memorize a sentence verbatim? In addition, many of the Gospels were written decades or even later. If they do not even slumber in the depths of the Vatican and what we can read today is pure forgery.
Then, I discovered the same stories from all eras of known history over and over again in countless old traditions and texts. Whether with the Sumerians, the Egyptians, the Indians, the Arabs or even in today's Bible of Christianity. You will learn in this book that all the stories from the "New Testament" can be found in thousands of years of older Egyptian traditions. From the proclamation of the virgin birth by an angel, the symbolism of the manger and the cross, all the miracles, and the crucifixion itself. Isn't that miraculous? Why is this the case and what is behind it?
Dear readers, ancient mystical knowledge was and is transported for humanity. There are important messages in the stories related to astronomy, nature, the wisdom of humanity and our divine core. While the ancient traditions were still linked to the essence of nature, today's religion connects them with the expectation of the Messiah as the central point. It also existed in other cultures, but it was not the absolute core of the matter. Today, there is no connection to nature and our nature, which obscures the true content and makes it almost inaccessible to us. It was also falsified and altered as much as possible, so that this knowledge would only be accessible to certain initiates. What was once intended for the whole human family is now unfortunately claimed by a few and withheld from us. We also find references to this in the Bible, see Thomas Logion 39:
"The Pharisees and the scribes received the key of knowledge, but they hid it. They did not go in themselves, nor did they leave those who wanted to go in."
In this respect, it can be assumed that all the stories about Jesus played out quite differently. At least not in the way they were and are described to us. Oh, what a heretic I am, many Bible-believing persons would think of me, who has not yet questioned this and has given up his own thinking. At this point, one can very well understand why some people claim that Jesus never existed. But this is also a one-sided way of thinking. And unfortunately, this soul never gets the pleasure of experiencing the true mysteries of life. What a pity! In a bathtub, pour the same proportions of warm water as cold water. Now, please explain to me how you want to fabricate that the warm water will go to the left and the cold water to the right? It is not easy for us to separate the lie from the truth. And so, it is here.
Yes, Jesus lived. Yes, his companions also existed. And no, a lot of things didn't happen as reported. However, this does not change the fact that Christ has entered it. He was a truly enlightened one and left us enormously important messages for our existence and our possible ascension. In the course of this story, I am firmly convinced that a number of things will become clear to them in this regard. They will be able to open their minds and, in alignment with their hearts, get confirmation that this is how it happened. But check for yourself and make up your own mind, because now is the time when these stories can also find their way into the truth and be seen. The seeker will know, he will be given. But here, too, the final sentence from me: The following is a historical-based novel, presented at least in novel form. Please compare what you have read with your heart and examine yourself inside. What do I already know?
The time we are in now has been very extraordinary. It was, if I may say so, the beginning of the end of all morality and ethics. It was primarily about power, bloodlines, money, and manipulation. The times of the first emperors of Rome, led by Augustus and his wife Livia Drusilla, followed by Tiberius and Caligula, were anything but good times for mankind. In the foreground were the power interests of the emperors, especially their many wives, all of whom wanted to see their own inheritance on the throne. To this end, tens of thousands of high treason trials were used for disagreeable political opponents. Likewise, countless possible pretenders to the throne were quickly removed by banishment, poisoning or stabbing. They have been erased from history. What remains is a name, hardly a meaning. We will dedicate this work exclusively to these people because many of them faked their death and lived a completely different life. Some of them joined the early Christian movement. We find her under a different name at the side of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Joseph, and Mary.
Some time ago, Emperor Augustus concluded a triumphal treaty with Mark Antony. Antony and Augustus pursued all sorts of conspirators involved in the assassination attempt of Julius Caesar. They carried out a veritable massacre to diminish the ranks of the Republicans and to fill the weight of the Roman ruling class with loyal supporters. The battle won against the Caesar murderers Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longius in Greece ended the Roman Republic. Marcus Antony was assigned the eastern provinces during the division of power, Augustus ruled over the west and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was awarded the North African provinces. There were countless expropriations and expulsions of entire city populations, which were enforced by Augustus. This made him a hated ruler in the provinces. In his second marriage, Augustus married a relative of Pompey for political reasons, and they had a daughter. "Julia the Elder". It will continue to play an essential role in our history. In his third marriage, Augustus married "Livia Drusilla," who brought a son from her previous marriage into this alliance, "Tiberius." One thing should be mentioned in advance. Livia Drusilla will soon do everything in her power to get her own son Tiberius on the throne and ruthlessly destroy the heirs of Julia. While Augustus' main task was to appropriate all parts of the empire, to destroy Antony, Lepidus, and the regent Pompey in the medium term and to achieve autocracy, the main task of Livia Drusilla was to destroy all potential heirs to the throne from other marriages of Augustus to see her son Tiberius on the throne. As you can see, these are wonderful conditions for a deadly game of murder and intrigue that is unparalleled in history.
Augustus had destroyed all political opponents except Mark Antony. He should be next. History writes that Mark Antony is said to have received the message of Cleopatra VII's death. As a result, he is said to have taken his own life. But it wasn't death. When Cleopatra received the news of the death of Mark Antony, she too is said to have taken her own life. But if this story is not true, it did not happen. Let's clear up this scenario together.
All survived the Battle of Actium and were in Alexandria. After this battle, it was clear to everyone that they would never part again. It was only a matter of time before Augustus would arrive in Egypt to enforce his autocracy as emperor of Rome. Marcus and Augustus had made joint treaties and alliances. Unfortunately, Augustus was the one who adhered to them the least. Only if it was convenient for him. One word seems to have counted for little in this empire.
"I don't want to stay here, mother," Selene yelled at her mother across the hall.
"Child, we have no other choice. One must stay behind. I have explained everything to you in detail in case today's situation occurs. Our country will fall, and the Romans are already at the gates. They need a trophy to take with them to Rome. Augustus will not want to leave empty-handed. Appearances must be kept up, that he has finally triumphed," replied Cleopatra VII, tears in her eyes. It broke her heart to have to leave her daughter behind.
"I want to be with you. Father, Alexander, and you. You're the only thing I have left," Selene sobbed.
Any loving father or mother can certainly understand this situation, how difficult this decision must have been.
"They would kill Marcus and me, child. I don't want to imagine what would happen to Alexander. You have to be strong now. We have allies in Rome who will take good care of you so that nothing happens to you. We shall meet again, I swear to you by Isis and Osiris," said Cleopatra.
"If the news reaches you that we are in the realm of the dead, don't believe it. They will try to sever our strong emotional and emotional bonds, but we are eternally inseparable. Please always keep this in mind. The gods will favor our reunion," added Cleopatra.
After a hug that lasted what felt like an eternity, they had to say goodbye. Cleopatra VII, Mark Antony, and Alexander Helios disappeared through various secret passages in the palace. Left behind was Cleopatra VIII Selene, estimated to be six years young, lonely, exposed to severe trauma and at the mercy of the Romans, who arrived shortly afterwards. Selene, just like in the story of Juba II, was brought to Rome in a triumphal procession and was to receive a Roman education. The children at the imperial court were all under the supervision and education of the sister of Emperor Augustus named "Octavia." Octavia was related to Cleopatra, as her father, Mark Antony, was married to Octavia before falling madly in love with Cleopatra VII. This love was something quite extraordinary for the time. It was rarely married out of love. Political calculations and state interests were always in the foreground. Showing emotions was frowned upon and considered a weakness. It took strong and hard reins, a good deal of unscrupulousness and ice-cold calculation in order not to get under the wheels themselves. The enemy lurked always and everywhere. The later emperors Tiberius and Caligula were to accompany their office under constant paranoia.
Now they were at the imperial court as political slaves. Juba II and Cleopatra VIII Selene met in what was to be a fateful encounter that went down in history. The true story, however, has hardly been handed down and distorted historically. In this novel, we will lift the curtain.
Under the care of Octavia were many former and current pretenders to the throne. Juba II would have been the successor king of Mauritania, Numibia. Cleopatra VIII Selene would have inherited the Egyptian Empire. The question we still haven't answered, however, is how Augustus could have disgraced Mark Antony so much that the Senate and the lower people agreed. Augustus used a ruse that was actually considered extremely reprehensible and characterless. He forced the priestesses of the Vestal temple, dedicated to the goddess Vesta, to issue the will of Mark Antony. Augustus read this testament in the Senate to get them on his side, which he succeeded. Mark Antony had anything but to annex the Egyptian Empire to the Roman Empire. He appreciated the millennia-old culture of the Egyptians; he respected their religion and their way of life. Under no circumstances should this empire be connected to the exploitative system of the Romans. He bequeathed some territories of the Eastern Roman Empire to his children Alexander Helios and Cleopatra VIII Selene, which would have made Egypt stronger. From a Roman imperial point of view, a betrayal of Rome, which was considered high treason, making Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII fair game.
