Guess my next scenario
...aka Secret Project #383

quote:

Like a god under people must be such a man ... there is no law for these men for they are law themselves


Guess who said this quotation, and if you're a good "historian" you might soon guess who is described with this quote... and then what my next scenario will be about.

Well, the Caesars were considered to be Gods (at least it was the state religion). The Emperors were whorshipped. So I would guess that your next scenario will be about Rome?

As far as I know, the Emperors were regarded as pontifex maximus , i.e. not gods themselves, but rather the highest priest. There were two emperors, Nero and Commodus with names, who wanted to be celebrated as deities, but they ended up murdered.

How many words have you removed from where the dots are? Just the name of the person?

Is it AD or BC? I would say it is BC.

Pehaps Cyrus?

Hmmm could be about eygpt, as their ruleers were consdiered gods,

But your scenarios tend to be about central Asia, or Iran. So I'm guessing it could be about Jalal-adin.

Hendrik: I haven't removed any words, they were already removed in the book I have it from.
BTW, the quote was on the cover of one very early (1833) and famous book on this person.
It is BC.
C0ckney: I don't think the Khwarizm Shahs were worshipped like gods, since that would be a sin towards the basics of Islam (you know, none to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet...). Good idea, though!
While you're closer with Egypt...

You people want a second clue?

Hmm, after a little search on AltaVista, I found out that in 1833, a certain hymn was published called "O Worship the King" written by a Sir Robert Grant, who apparently lived in India.

Though this seems interesting, it's not a book, as you mention, and it doesn't seem to be about one specific man. Also, you said Egypt was close, and India is not really close to Egypt. Therefore I don't think this is it.

But there are hundreds of books published in 1833, apparently..

Well, I mentioned one book written about him in 1833, not that the person himself lived then.
OK, the person was once called a wimp, a molly and a mother's boy by the man on the picture. If you know it, please keep it for yourself! (If you really can't keep it you can send me a mail or a PM). http://members.xoom.com/SHaertel/clue2.gif

Hmm... let's see... A man who's law by himself... and has to do with Egypt... haven't seen the pic but if he was called mother's boy...

Well, I think it's pretty easy!

Stefan, can we send you a PM with our predictions?
