King and Croesus​

King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low
on cash after years of war with the Hittites.
His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates,
the most valuable diamond in the ancient world.
Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan.
Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."
"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested.
"Don't you know who I am? I am your King!"
Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a
Star, makes no difference who you are."

Do you know what caused one of the biggest strikes in Egyptian history?
At around 1000 years BC the Amalgamated Union of Eunuchs and the Associated Sopranos Union went on strike.
It was over Severance pay.
