The authority Fir'aun (Pharaoh)
Egyptian nation civilisation really based in the fertility of the Nile river. The Egyptian nation stabilised in the Nile Valley was caused by the abundance of water in this river and because they could process the land with water supplies that was given by the river that did not depend to the rain season. The historian Ernest H Gombrich mengaakan in his article that Africa really hot and occasionally completely had not rained for months. This was the reason why many areas in this big continent were very extraordinary dry him. Parts of this continent were closed by the very wide sand ocean. On the other hand the Nile river also was closed by sand and in Egypt personally also rarely rain happened. However in this country rain not too much was needed because of the Nile river that flowed pass by in the middle of-was all the country.so who that nenguasai the Nile river that sangtlah important this then he that could control biggest assets the trade and Egyptian agriculture. Pharaoh could melangengkan his domination was upper Egypt with this road. The form of the Nile river that was narrow and memanjang in the Nile Valley did not enable unit-tunit demography that was around the river to too much developed his territory. That was the reason the Egyptian nation more chose to form a civilisation that consisted of small cities and the settlement than cities. This factor that reinforced the Pharaoh domination over his community. King Menes was known as pharaoh Egypt first that united all of Egypt old for the first time in the history in an association country approximately 3000 SM. Kenyaaan that the "Pharaoh" term the origin he proposed referred to the palace where the Egyptian king was, but at the time became the degree from the Egyptian kings. This was the reason why the king who governed Egypt old began to be acknowledged as "Pharaoh". As the owner, the organiser and the ruler from all over the country and his territories, then Pharaoh was accepted as the manifestation from the god who was biggest in the Egyptian belief old that Politheistik and deviated. Administration from the Egyptian territory, their distribution, their income, the shortness, all agriculture, the service and the production in limits of the country's territory was managed in kekuasan Pharaoh. The absolutism in his leadership period supplemented his command against the country with the authority that could do all the matters in accordance with keinginann him. Exact in the first dynasty of his authority of Menes that became the Egyptian king who succeeded in uniting the Upstream and Lower Egypt, Sungai Nile was handed over to the public with used saluan-channel water. By that of all the production was supervised by the command and all the production of goods and services was given for the interests the king. King -lah that distributed and divided goods and services into the proportion that was wanted by the people. This not was difficult for the king who had an authority in daeah this to place the people in the obedience of Egyptian King or that eventually will be named Pharaoh and he claimed to be himself as the holy creature that held kekuasan that was big and included all the requirements for his people and he changed himself into the lord. Pharaoh really believed that themselves were the lord.
Pharaoh words (Fir'aun) was named in Al Qur'an that was used in his conversation with Musa, this proved that they believed on the deity Pharaoh. He tried to threaten Musa by saying; Really if you worshipped the Lord apart from me, really I will make you someone that was imprisoned. (QS Asy-Syu'ara 29), and said Fir-aun to people in its surrounds; Hi Pembesar my group, I did not know the lord for you apart from me. (QS Al Qashas 38).
The religious beliefAccording to Herodotus a historian, Egypt old anxious group that anxious most faithful in the world. However their religion the note the true religion, anxious boots a form politheisme that sesat. And they could the note meningalkan the religion sesat they because they very conservative people (conservative). The Egyptian nation old really was affected by the nature environment where they lived. The Egyptian nature situation guarded this country towards the attack from outside completely. Egypt was surrounded by the desert, mountains and the ocean disemua the side. The attack was possibly carried out against this country only with the possibility of two roads, but they were able easily to maintain themselves. The Egyptian nation to was isolated from this outside world of the blessing of nature factors. However with the characteristics of the excessive fanatic so as the Egyptian nation memperoeh the way of thinking that shackled them terhdap the development and new matters and they really conservative towards their religion. Their ancestors's religion that it was mentioned repeatedly in Al Qur'an became the value that was most important for them. This was the reason Fir'aun and the proximity environment denied Musa and Harun when announcing the Sejati Religion by saying;
They said; did "you come to us to memalingkan we from what was found by us our ancestors did him, and that the two of you have the authority before the earth?" , we will not trust the two of you. (QS. Yunus: 78)
The religion/kepecayaan from the Egyptian nation old was divided in branches, that were most important into the official religion the country was the belief in people and the existence of the life after the death. According to the official religion the country, Fir'aun (Pharaoh) was mahkluk holy, he was the manifestation from their gods before the earth and the aim him was to hold justice and to protect them in the world. The developing belief the area dikalangan the community really complicated and elements that collided with the official belief the country was oppressed by the Fir'aun government. Basically they trusted many gods and this lord is usually depicted had the head of the animal with the human bod.
The life after dying was the most important part in the Egyptian nation belief. They believed that the spirit will continue to live after the body died. In accordance with this spirits from the person died was brought by these angels to the lord as the judge and the judge's 4 other witnesses, a scale of the level was compiled in the middle of and the heart from the spirit/the spirit was weighed in this scale. For them who died with the goodness opinion of more lives in the situation was full of beauty and the life in the happiness, for them that his opinion was more difficult with kejahaan was sent to one place where they got difficult torture. There they were tortured in the permanence by a strange creature who was mentioned with the "Eater" of the "Death".
the Egyptian nation belief in the life in the day was afterwards very clear menunjuukan parallelism (the similarity padangan) with the belief monotheistik and the true religion (that was true). And holy orders reached Egyptian civilisation old, but this religion was afterwards diverted from monotheisme changed to Pholytheisme. As is known that the commemorative givers called on people to meng-Esakan Allah and ordered them to become the slave him, was delegated to Egypt from the period to the period as mererka was delegated for all the world's population to one time or other time. One of them was the Prophet Yusuf that his life was in detail told in Al Qur'an. The history of the Prophet Yusuf was very important because of being gotten by the presence of Israeli children in Egypt and how they gaze at there. On the other hand in the history was gotten by information that said that many Egyptians who called on people towards the belief -the Monotheistik belief in fact before the prophet Musa although, one of the they were Pharaoh (Fir'aun) that was most important in the Egyptian history, he was Amenhotep IV.
Fir'aun Amenhotep IV Yang Monotheistik
when Fir'aun Amenhotep IV was crowned as the king to 1375 SM, he encountered conservatism (conservatism) and traditionalism that took place for centuries, so as the community's composition in his relations with the royal palace continued to continue without the existence of the change. The community closed the door to meetings against the incident from outside and the progress of the religion. This very hard conservatism was also said by the Greek nomads old as being resulted in by the geographical condition for Egyptian nature like it was mentioned above. In accordance with the Fir'aun provisions, the official religion demanded the belief that was unlimited in all the long and traditional matters. However Amenhotep IV did not agree to this official religion. The historian Ernst Gombrich wrote:
Amenhotep IV carried out many changes towards many habits that disucikan by the old tradition and did not want to carry out the worship against the lord that have the shape of in various symbols that were strange from his group. For him only one Lord who was powerful that is Aton, that was worshipped by him and that was manifested by him in the form of his sun mentioned himself after his lord, as Akhenaton, and he moved his palace moved further away from the range of the clergymen from the gods who were other to a place that now is mentioned with El-Amarna
after the death of his father, Amenhotep IV young got the great pressure. This pressure was caused by the reality that he developed a religion that was based on the understanding monotheisme by changing the traditional religion politheisme Egypt and memcoba to do change-perubabahan that was radical in various fields. However the leaders Thebes did not permit him to send the message from this religion. Amenhotep IV and his people afterwards moved from the Thebes city and settled in Tell-El-Amarna. Here they built a modern new city that was named "Akh-and-aton". Amenhotep IV changed his name that meant the "happiness/pity from Amon" became Akh-en-aton that meant to "submit to Aton". Amon was the name that was given for the statue (the totem) that was biggest in the belief politheisme the Egyptian nation. Menururt Amenhotep IV, Aton was the "creator from heaven and the world", penyamaan the name of his term for Allah.Felt was disturbed with this development, then the clergymen Amon wanted to claim the Akhenaton strength by creating the crisis ekono you in his country. Akhenaton had finally been killed by means of diracun by the gangs that ingnin destroyed him. Fir'aun following felt worried and they also sank in the influence embrace pendea this. After Akhenaton, emerged Fir'aun that had the power with the strength of the military. This once more resulted in the long tradition politheisme became developing the area and the existence of efforts to return to the past. Several centuries afterwards, Ramses Ii that had the power oldest in the Egyptian history was appointed to the king. According to many historians, Ramses Ii was Fir'aun that tortured Bani Israel and waged war against the Musa Prophet.
