 | Ebook with compelling questions and insights to help you make that difficult relationship decision.
The importance of taking decisions to survive and prosper cannot be overstressed: it is often better to risk taking a wrong decision than none at all, because the consequences of not acting can be even more far reaching than any mistake. History shows us some examples of such situations: Ankhesenamum was a queen of ancient Egypt and wife of the pharao Tutankhamen; as we know, the king died young and left his wife, who decided to marry again and as in almost all such cases, use the wedding for some political or strategic purpose. So she decided to marry king Suppiluliuma, of the neighbouring and rival Hittite empire in order to improve relations and forge alliances.
Envoys reached the Hittite capital, Hattusa - the ruins of this city can be visited at Bogazköy, in central Turkey -, and diplomatic efforts began to take place because, naturally, a royal wedding had a lot of implications and there was a lot to gain with it; it was a tall order and a serious gamble, andthere was a lot of resistance to overcome.
In the end, the wedding did not take place: no alliances were forged and wars and mistrust continued. Eventually, the Hittites vanished from the surface of Earth around the year 1.200 B.C.
Maybe, if the wedding had taken place, a whole culture would have in the end been saved, so decisions are important after all, aren't they?
