The KING OF FRANKINCENSE, THE KING OF MYRRH, THE KING OF GOLD

Let's talk about the king of frankincense Part 2

The 3 kings AKA 3 wise men, were never named, So They shall remain nameless. They came from the east possibly from Kingdoms never named, So I’m gonna imagine Their origin stories. I beg your indulgence, thanks.

He was surveying his kingdom, Well his semi put together Kind of kingdom anyway. Kind of Piece it together as you go. Like the way he would take his ragtag bit of Caravan linked camels and carts, on His beginning sojourn, To make an organized unit. Eventually it would become a powerful confederation, of Camels carts, horses, soldiers, Mercenaries, War dogs. And he even had a couple of trained attack cheetahs. The war dogs and Cheetahs procured At considerable expense! He had to go to a special kennel master On the very outskirts of Rome who specialized in Roman war dogs for its legions and armies. For The Cheetahs he had to go back to what was left of Egypt Under Roman rule. There was a old noble family That could trace their roots And family blood ties Back to the Nubian pharaohs who sat the throne of Egypt, As well as the bloodlines that produced Pharaoh Amenhotep the III. Whose son was Amenhotep the IV, later known After his conversion and name change, to Pharaoh Ankhenaten. People have forgotten over the centuries that the Egyptians use Cheetahs, and sometimes
 even baboons As hunting accessories! Now the Cheetahs wouldn’t actually Attack and kill human beings, But they would run between the legs of the donkey’s, asses,  camels, and the horses the humans rode on! What a great and glorious havoc those felines caused!  To be continued...

There was so many Little petty warlord holdings, Little outposts With a track of land. Somebody suddenly calling himself a king. Or heir to one kingdom or another. Now technically he was of royal/noble blood. His kingdom Doesn’t exist anymore or you can’t find it on a map. There was also many kingdoms, with so many little “King let’s” holding on to a kingdom the size of Disneyland.

His father being an overly amorous man Had 6 Wives. Each wife having more than 5 children or more. Now since his mother was The next to the last wife and younger than the previous 4.  His father started to become more of a family man, into his latter years. With a very long beard,  and hair, and getting Camel riding sores on his butt. He spent a lot of time with The last 2 wives and his children. To be honest he loved and enjoyed the 5th wife better than all his others. And this king of Frankincense from the east was the 5th child And son of the 5th wife and his Father! And His father favoured him above all his other children, especially the male ones.

TO BE CONT’D...

Why? An observer of his time might ask? Well that’s what all his fellow siblings From the loins of Of their father asked and thought. Well his father had the answer to that, but he kept it to himself. Later on he would Explain it to his son and future heir. His father was responsible for the success Of the family Mini kingdom. The
prime export Amongst all the other goods Of the caravan, That he and various clan members were responsible for, was this;

FRANKINCENSE! On that patchy little bit of kingdom there set, the trees that were cultivated For frankincense  owned by his family. To a certain extent, after all there can only be 1 sole heir! But all the other progeny will be provided for, Dowry’s provided and married off, In due time for the girls. For the males, being given Stakes, in Gold, Goods, Frankincense tree buds to plant in other lands. Maybe becoming Merchants or Monarchs themselves. And thus, so it would come the pass. Inheriting his little kingdom given to him by his father.  Becoming 1 of  "The 3 KINGS FROM THE EAST." According to biblical text., Bringing forth  Frankincense!....
