MONARCHY


MONARCHY

On 19 of May I was watching the royal wedding of Prince Henry and Megan. That got me thinking of royalties at large. The fact of kings and queen still have power in this world got me thinking. I hear people scream democracy, but they say keep our kings. The question I asked is what the deal of these kings and queens is.
 
King Solomon
One story that got me thinking is the story of King Solomon's story. King Solomon had one thousand wives. His story is actually recorded in the Bible in the book of kings. 11 King: Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. I always wonder Solomon married a thousand wives. Solomon was considered the most wises individual within the Bible yet he married a thousand women. Did he inter marry all those women for a plan? I am sure as the wises person on earth he must of had a motive to marry all those women.
Reading the Bible it described King Solomon as a man who liked women. I can’t believe that it was his motive. I saw something within the text of Kings. Inter marrying for King Solomon brought peace for Israel (he was the king of Israel). When royalty from different nations intermarry it brings peace within the kingdoms. The peace it brings is large. I thing that was King Solomon’s idea and approach.
King Solomon brought peace for ISREAL in the most remarkable way. Once the most powerful country in the world Egypt was manipulated by King Solomon. King Solomon married the Pharaohs daughter that brought Israel (at that time) peace with Egypt and that is remarkable. The fact that as a king, you can plan something so genius.
 
Queen Victoria
I was learning about the rule of Queen Victoria. She is most probably the most talked royalty ever. It was in her rule, when England became the most sovereign country in the face of the world. The colonization taken into full practice by Queen Victoria. She is truly amazingly genius.
What else she did which is just a claim was marry her children to other royalty. Queen Victoria married of almost all her children’s to royal lines. Queens daughter “Victoria” was married of to the German Emperor Fredrick III. The Queens son Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha married Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia. Queen gave his other son Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn the duty to Govern Canada and marry Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia. Another son Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany married Princess Helena of Waldeck and Pyrmont, was the daughter of George Victor, Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont (regions now in Germany) and his wife. Princess Beatrice married Prince Henry of Battenberg of Germany. Princess Alice married Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse. Edward VII married Alexandra of Denmark who was the empress of India.
Queen Victoria’s doing was something remarkably genius and flipping breathe takings. All of the United Kingdom’s wealth is all owed to Queen Victoria. During her rule she ensured the prosperity of her country. She allowed colonization of America, Australia, Southern Africa and India. I may have forgotten a few countries. But clearly she didn’t have good successors.
Her successors undid everything she worked for. Her successors played barely any role in the two world wars. They have lost control of their own country to majority parliament. From a world where the royals of England made laws, to Prime minister taking control. This is shameful. I know in a perspective of the every civilian it worked out for the best, although on the perspective of royalty it does not work out. There have been ministers and civilians in England already just trying to wipe out the institution of monarchy as it cost the tax collectors millions.

Queen Sheba
I was looking whether countries still have monarchy taking control. The results kind of shook me. The world we are living in today isn’t any different from 100 years ago. The difference we have is technology and the sex.
1.       Swaziland – Ruled by Mswati III
2.       Saudi Arabia – King Abdullah
3.       Bhutan – King Jigme Khesar
4.       Monaco – Prince Albert II
5.       Bahrain – Sheih Hamad
This is only the most famous. I know in South Africa the president does have some things that must be ran by kings. During the Apartheid the kings of the tribes were still treated with absolute respect. Which made me realize maybe there’s more to royalty than I anticipated.

There is a constant need for animals to make rulers within their society. With bees there is a Queen Bee which is in terms the ruler of a hive of bees. With wild dogs like wolfs they depend on rankings to determine the ruler. So perhaps it is natural for a ruler to me established.
What I learnt is the animal that is most adaptive to the environment is given a better opportunity to be a leader. So this could be an animal with the best natural selection, for example the giraffe with the longest neck (not to say that it’s an actual thing). Within domestic dogs, the dog with the biggest muscle is more likely to be the alpha dog. I suppose being with that dog can give protection, gives fear to other dogs, more likely to catch pray (if they were in the wild) and shuxx event get all the ladies.
Although with humans it is different. I suppose we as humans want the same thing as the dogs. We want our king that protects our interest, gives protection, displays themselves respectable o other human kingdom. I am guessing money gives all of that. I mean Queen Victoria gave her subjects wealth and prosperity, protection and sets herself respectable.

The Monarchy ruling dates back centuries back
It is pretty clear that the days of monarchy are not dying the way they ought to be. We are in the 20 first century yet monarchies rule are still infecting us. The power of royals are way too much to ignore. Due to that the whole institution needs to be stopped. I mean the full exercise of power of monarchy is displayed currently in North Korea as Kim Un being the raining leader. There have been reports that the royalties in England still have a say in the country, that she makes the decision whether or not to pass a law. That is a lot of power within my opinion. Monarchy are as well are expensive towards the tax collectors. Did you know that the most Monarchy in the world control military of the country (e.g: England).
We spend a portion of our tax ensure the Zulu king and Xhosa King have Bentley’s. You have the king of Swaziland as wealthy as he is, living in one of the poorest countries in the world. The money we pay to keep these royalty up there can be used feed the poor or perhaps fund entrepreneurs and empower them.
My favorite Monarchy story is the one of the Zulu
Nations.

But I do understand the importance of Monarchy. People believe the family assigned at that royalty are sent by the God they believe. A king has more emotional and spiritual meaning than a president. Perhaps the days of Monarchy are too much to let go.
“God save the King”
“Long live the King”
A king or queen is a big word.

Xhosa's in South Africa

Image
Xhosa The Xhosa are the second largest cultural group in South Africa, after the Zulu-speaking nation. The Xhosa language (Isixhosa), of which there are variations, is part of the Nguni language group.    In 2006 it was determined that just over 7 million South Africans speak Xhosa as a home language. Although they speak a common language, Xhosa people belong to many loosely organized, but distinct chiefdoms that have their origins in their Nguni ancestors. It is important to question how and why the Nguni speakers were separated into the sub-group known today. The majority of central northern Nguni people became part of the Zulu kingdom, whose language and traditions are very similar to the Xhosa nations - the main difference is that the latter abolished circumcision. In order to understand the origins of the Xhosa people we must examine the developments of the southern Nguni, who intermarried with Khoikhoi (I wrote a little short story on that a while back...

 Afrikaners in SA Afrikaners are a Southern African ethnic group descended from predominantly Dutch settlers first arriving in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They traditionally dominated South Africa 's agriculture and politics prior to 1994.

Khosians in South Africa

Image
Khosians In SA The Khoisan, an indigenous population in Namibia, may once have comprised the majority of living humans on the planet, for much of the past 150,000 years. The Khoisan population declined about 22,000 years ago and again during the 17th century's European colonialists' incursions into Africa. The new study by geneticists published in Nature Communications , reviewed by the journal Science, revealed that the Khoisan, now numbering about 100,000, are a genetically diverse group because of a large ancestral population in the distant past.   The name ‘Khoisan’ generally refers to the hunters and herders of a number of ethnic groups that speak a distinctive click language, although it is not the name that the population use for themselves. Historically, there were two groups of peoples in the Khoisan language family, the Khoi Khoi pastoralists or herders, and the San, who were hunters and gatherers. Today, they are known collectively as the Khoisan. Khoisan...
