This is what you have told me in the few conversations we've had. Our conversation has been personal. It has to do with my research of ancient civilizations, the exhausting work I've been conducting in the Middle East. This research is finally yielding interesting results and I have made a tremendous discovery. He then added a comment I have never forgotten.
Modern civilizations believe that ancient kings and leaders inherited their leadership positions.
A generic thing, either from father or mother to son or daughter. Not true, surprisingly enough. I've uncovered information to the contrary as a matter of fact. Rulers didn't inherit kingdoms. The Pharoahs, Kings and leaders were chosen by an extremely rigorous process of selection.
