This is the temple of the god Amun.

Today we are participating in the rituals for awakening Amun, the greatest god in the land of Egypt.

You mean that Amun, the greatest god of the Egyptians, spent the night sleeping? Yes.

Amun and the other gods of lower rank rest at night. And what does a servant do if he wants to call upon his lord at night and share his complaints?

The servants must follow the example of their gods and rest at night.

The gods have designated the daytime for receiving their servants and listening to them.

To the inside.

Entry is only allowed for the followers of the god Amun and the people of Egypt.

Strangers are not allowed to enter.

Before the ritual begins, all the priests must wash with the water of the Nile.

They are determined to enter the sanctuary of the temple.

Except for the priests, no one is allowed to enter inside.

They use those tools to wash and purify the god Amun.

And they will dress him in new clothes, adorn him, and perfume him with the finest fragrances.

So that he is prepared for all the worshippers to worship him.

Do you mean that people cannot worship Amun in their solitude or outside this place?

No, the worshipper must be inside the temple and in front of the god Amun to glorify him.

But I heard that the god is present everywhere.

O exalted soul soaring in the heavens.

O spirit of our God Amun.

Return to your earthly body and physical form so you may once again govern the affairs of your servants with your mighty hand.

O greatest God, O greatest God, great Amun.

O great God, awaken from your slumber in calm and tranquility. Awaken from your slumber in calm and tranquility.

O great Amun.

Take these humble gifts and offerings.

Take something from their essence and spiritual juice.

And bless them for the people of the earth. That is enough.

Raise them and distribute them among the priests and the rest of the people.

Do you see Amun and.

How beautiful is what the priest has adorned.

Won't people steal the gold and jewelry on him?

No, the priests are watching. No one dares to do that.

The priest should be watched, otherwise thieves would attack him and steal his jewelry.

I thought that the god Amun was the one protecting us.

But now you are telling me that he is most in need of being guarded by the priests, and what is wrong with that?

Amun is the best and most important thing we possess.

We must guard him.

Blessed are you, obedient servants. I am your god Amun.

I have just returned from my sleep at night, to manage the affairs of the servants.

My will has decreed that the morning breathes and the light of day appears.

Go, go and strive for your god.

Go, go and strive in your work so that your provisions will be brought to you by My full will.

At your service, my lady.

This is Amun who used to speak to the people.

Didn't you hear? Yes, I heard, but how can the deaf stone speak?

Amun is not a stone, but rather a spirit that has taken on and embodied this form.

I ask your pardon.

Amun is a powerful god and is in no need of things.

But today I saw him in need of many things. He needs to sleep, and someone to wash him, dress him, and adorn him.

He is unable to move except with the help of the priests.

He is unable to protect himself from thieves, he cannot do anything on his own.

He needs a place, a wife, children, and many other things.

Do you mean that Amun is poorer than us? We are able to walk, dress, adorn ourselves, and wash ourselves.

What do you think?

I felt helpless before him.

On the surface, he is just a boy, but many of his questions.

They have exhausted me, and I was unable to answer them. Most of the answers were not convincing to me.

This boy is clever. Don't worry.

I will take Yuzarsif with me to the temple and teach him everything myself.

Listen to what I am going to tell you.

He has made me doubt the lordship of Amun.

The hunter has become the prey, the prey.

Isn't it time to eat? I'm so hungry I could swallow a cow by myself.

The food is ready, your excellency.

Our father has finished building the house of his sorrows.

And he did not allow us to see it.

This is the house of Ahsan.

I will spend the rest of my days inside this hut.

And I will shed tears over the separation from Yusuf.

I will keep watching.

this road, waiting for his return to us.

Father, do you really think my brother Yusuf will come back to us one day? There is no doubt about that, my daughter.

We must remain prepared for the day of his return.

Will you not forget Yusuf, O Prophet of Allah?

And how could I forget him? If he were dead or killed, I would have sat in mourning for him and the matter would be over.

But now, I do not know what state he is in.

I keep asking myself what he is doing at this moment.

What hardship has befallen him.

Has he fallen captive into the hands of bandits, or have slave traders kidnapped and enslaved him? Have they forced him into slavery?

Is he hungry or full?

Is he clothed or naked? Take it easy, O Prophet of Allah, why do you torment yourself to this extent?

Grief over the death of loved ones eventually passes.

But the pain of separation and abandonment is everlasting.

Still, I will seek help through beautiful sabr.

And I will spend the days of separation and abandonment in hope of reunion.

The carriage is ready. Yes, sir.

Are you determined to take him with you? Yes. Amenhotep's security has heard things about him.

I will take him to Amenhotep and to the temple as well. I think this will not help.

Do not think he is just a boy. He is not like the ancient trees.

He is still young and flexible, and we can correct his faults. Whenever I speak to him, he will come to know the greatness and sanctity of the beliefs of the people of Egypt.

Fattan, Userseef is ready. I am fully prepared to carry out the orders of the high-ranking one.

Userseef, the Arabs are very dangerous. Take good care of yourself. Certainly, madam. Nothing bad will happen to him, do not worry at all.

I will make sure he sits next to me inside the carriage.

You also take care of yourself.

The soldiers of Amun are a handful of arrogant troublemakers and power seekers.

These storehouses belong to the temple of the god Amun. Every year, the largest share of Egypt's harvest is kept in these storehouses.

It's as if these priests are never satisfied.

That orchard belongs to Amun.

And the women are his wives in appearance. I have previously seen the farms belonging to Amun near the Nile River.

As for those fattened animals, one day they will fill the priests' bellies.

With this situation, the priests will not allow anyone to threaten their interests or put them at risk of disappearing.

And what belief would secure their benefits and interests other than the belief in Amun?

This is another way to keep the followers of Amun. They manipulate each group with a trick: some people are slaves to status, some are slaves to money, and some are slaves to their daily bread.

Many people in Egypt have seen the priests for what they really are and were not deceived by them.

Lady Zulaikha thinks that the governor Potiphar wants to teach me the beliefs of the people of Egypt and introduce me to their greatness and values. On the contrary.

Rather, I want to show you.

The triviality of the beliefs of the people of Egypt and the vices they contain.

Here is the palace of Amenhotep III, the greatest ruler of Egypt.

Who are these people? They don't seem to be Egyptians to me.

All of them are envoys and ambassadors of foreign countries, and they have come to Egypt to pay the annual tribute.

And what is the tribute?

The countries under the authority of the Egyptian government are required

to give a portion of their production and savings every year to pay us.

In return, we pledge to defend them if they are attacked.

Can you not defend them without collecting the tax?

If it were not for these taxes and levies, the government of Egypt would not be able to manage its affairs.

We must be grateful to these people.

These savages are soldiers of the temple of the god Amun. Wait here, I will be back immediately. Go.

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Go from this direction, I will block their way. Come on, go!

Go to the post to block the road. Order them to reopen it.

If you cause trouble and disturbances inside Medina again, the sword will reproach you instead of my tongue. This is my last word.

And do not come back.

The temple of Amun will not let this insult pass without a response.

Tell Alkhama from me that I must subdue the arrogance of the army of the god Amun and bring them under control, otherwise he will face my severe punishment.

He does not leave.

I had to discipline the insolent soldiers of the temple.

They have gone too far in their insolence.

Can I become a professional swordsman like you? Why not?

If you want that, all you have to do is train with Rhoda Moon in martial arts.

Potiphar requests permission to appear before the god Amenhotep III.

Long live the absolute ruler of the land of Egypt, the god and son of the gods, the exalted Amenhotep.

And may you also live, worthy ruler, the exalted Potiphar.

Potiphar? Yes, my lord.

Have you recently visited the workshop of the mechanism?

Except for the exalted Houtab, no one is allowed to enter the workshop of the gods.

It seemed to me that the gods rolled up their sleeves and personally created this boy to present him to you. What a precious pearl this is.

He is my assistant and companion. I bought him recently. Did I say companion?

Potiphar, have you become a boy among the children, or do you see him as a boy who keeps up with the great ones?

Outwardly he is a boy, but he is mature, sharp in judgment and knowledgeable. What kind of scholar is this who has not yet learned to bow in respect and reverence to the gods of Egypt?

He did not have the opportunity to learn, your Excellency.

Please forgive us. Little one.

Did you tell me your name?

Yusuf, O noble one, but the lords of the palace call me Yuzarsif in the language of the people of Egypt.

Yusuf is a Hebrew name, O noble one, and it means "the sad one."

May sadness be far from this beautiful face.

Yuzar Sif is a name that suits this boy more.

Well, O Yusuf, Potiphar claims that you are insightful in judgment.

Tell me, how do you see the majesty and greatness of Egypt?

Boasting about virtues in the presence of great people is blameworthy because it goes against proper manners, but I will speak in response to the king's request.

The majesty and greatness of the land of Egypt are truly astonishing.

It reminds me of the firmness of towering mountains and mighty peaks.

But, but I believe that a plateau.

A land covered with grass is better than a high, barren mountain.

From the plants of the earth for the camels to eat.

Do you really see the power and greatness of Egypt as equal to the lofty, towering mountains? As you said, honorable one.

But how beautiful it is when coincidence is used to help the miserable among creation. Well done.

Well done, O Yujarsif. You have proven that the claim of the ruler Potiphar

was not weak. Well done.

This submission is not befitting for the successor of the king. Whoever has the blood of the gods does not bow before his servants.

What happened was beyond my control.

He caught my admiration by surprise.

Did we intend to visit Governor Potiphar specifically so he could introduce us to his new assistant?

No, my lord and master, I have come before you to complain about the oppression and brutality of the soldiers of the temple of the god Amun.

It has become their habit every day to cause commotion and disorder at the crossings.

Without caring about anyone, or adhering to any law or covenant.

The soldiers of the temple have persisted in their tyranny.

What I fear most is that they might attempt a coup against the government of Egypt if they are not confronted. But confronting Amun and the temple priests is pure disbelief.

The priests and Amun are not the same. By adhering to the teachings of the god Amun, we must be harsh in suppressing the rebellious, tyrannical priests.

But I do not wish to rush into confrontation.

I am preparing to face them, and you must appease them.

Until the right time comes, so that we can all agree on the correct decision.

Therefore, we must wait.

You have the right to be proud of yourself.

I have never seen a child as beautiful as you. Thank you so much, and I have not seen anyone more generous than you in this land.

A fierce battle awaits us.

In front of a crowd and before everyone's eyes.

He started hitting me with the whip on my head and face. If I were in Potiphar's place, I would have killed a useless army commander.

In the same way, but Potiphar betrayed me and took advantage of my carelessness. If only I had known what he intended.

I would not have given him a moment's respite. He is too despicable for me to dare confront him face to face. Do not speak like a lion in front of your master's house.

But you are nothing but a fox in front of Potiphar. Stop pretending to be a hero and tell me what we should do.

I am nothing but a dog barking at the door of your house, and you ask me for advice.

How should I know what to do with him, master? I have no doubt at all.

That Potiphar and his master harbor enmity toward our gods.

Especially the god Amun.

But I do not know what I should do. I do not think the matter needs much thought.

We must punish them, and severely as well. And who can punish them? You? Or your useless soldiers?

If only I had plenty of men and soldiers.

The city of Thebes was destroyed by the impurity of Amenhotep. If you were truly a man of battle, you would have proven it that day.

Potiphar and his master Amenhotep are at the height of power and strength.

And it is not known, it is not known that victory will be on our side if the fire of war flares up between the temple and the palace.

Therefore, I see it is more prudent to appease them.

Until the right opportunity comes to take retribution from them.

Rudamon, yes sir. He is a clever and talented boy.

Show me what you will do. I want him to become strong and brave.

What should I do?

The ruler Potiphar wants you to teach Yuzarsif all the martial arts.

Teach him how to fight with the sword, thrust with the spear, and ride horses as well.

And be sure that he will not waste your efforts. I will do my best to teach him all the martial arts.

Don't worry about that.

Come with me.

Bring me the training sword.

But is this a sword?

It's a sword for boys. Whoever aspires to carry an iron sword must first get used to wooden swords. Ready?

Defend yourself.

Well done. You have to prevent me from hitting any part of your body with my sword.

Get ready.

If it were a real sword, I would have cut you deeply.

Now you hit me.

I am stabbing you with the sword. Yes, stab hard.

You will be in a lot of pain, and my heart can't bear it.

Do as I tell you. Move!

It's okay, I'll do what you want.

Stand up, come on, come on.

Well done.

The ruler Potiphar has arrived, my lady Zuleikha.

Long live my master and lord, of high status and nobility. Long live the lady of great beauty, Zuleikha.

What are you doing here? I am watching Yusuf as he duels with the sword.

How was your journey to Medina and your time there? We have to prepare him until he becomes strong and turns into a fighter.

Today it seemed to me that fear overtook him, as we were driving the carriage and chasing the soldiers of Amun. You fought with the soldiers of the god Amun?

Yes, it was necessary to discipline Amun.

After that, I went with Yuzarsif to the palace of King Amenhotep.

Yuzarsif made me proud in front of them.

He is unmatched in wisdom and intelligence.

The king admired his wonderful answers to his questions at that time.

Amin Hotep immediately took a pearl necklace and gave it to him. As for young Amin Hotep, he couldn't control himself and bowed before Yuzarsif as he put the necklace on him.

No, this is impossible. Everyone present at that gathering was just as astonished as you, and they tried to stop young Amenhotep.

I told you that we will benefit if we take him as a son.

I have no doubt that he will surpass the wise men and outdo them all.

And this is what I hope for as well.
