How does the 1st ever king declare himself the king??

Question

In some country you can become the king if your father is the king.

Answer 1

The first king didn't declare himself the king, he was declared the king by all the people around him - likely for a very good reason. If we are talking about ancient times, he may have been extremely courageous, had a 'gift' that others didn't have, or was capable of feats that made him stand out. Those around him then, would grant him the leadership, make him king, and the lineage starts.

Answer 2

Actually, between the Bible and Sumerian cuneiform texts (the oldest existing documents dealing with kingship) ... the gods picked the 1st kings.

In the Bible it says that the "Sons of God" lay with the "Daughters of Men" and produced giants known as the Nephilim (spelling varies). These beings were also known as the demigods, and all kings, high priests and other leaders had to be at least part demigod. (Thus the divine right to rule)

The bible says that Nimrod was the first king of men in the land of Sumer (sometimes translated as Shine'ar). As it turns out, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah and so on all were from this lineage... and (if you believe the Bible) thus all humans who survived the floods had demigod blood. Obviously, some more than others, as the bible goes on to differentiate the giants from the "normal" humans. Or perhaps the Anakim (the sons of God) were still dallying about with the daughters of men.

King David won fame for slaying a Nephilim with a sling as a boy.

From Sumerian texts (and Egyptian, Babylonian and more) we find that the idea that only demigods could be kings or high priests was continued after the flood and all the way into recent times. Thus, Abraham (then known as Avram), founder of all Judeo-Christian and Islamic religions, by virtue of being the son of a high preist in the Chaldean city of Ur (Summeria) must have been at least part demigod. Logically this means that Issac, Jacob, and all the tribes of Israel must also be descendants of "the gods." The fact that Abraham found Yahweh, and smashed the idols doesn't change his genetic makeup.

Long story short... the first kings were hand picked by the gods of the ancients as they were their half-breed offspring. These ancient gods are known in the bible as various Baals, Anakim, and Fallen Angels (which is approximately what Nephilim means).

Like the Mafia a criminal gang comes to control an area of the city and then the country so the Monarchies and Aristocracies of Europe 'controlled' areas of land and demanded 'protection money' from villagers and farmers so that they could be allowed to do their business in peace. By the use of terror they cowed the populace into submission. The head of these criminals gangs was the King. These gangs were comprised of people who were totally addicted to violence.

These gangs eventually stole all the lands and claimed them as their own so that the peasants were mere tenants - usually no better than slaves. When two of these gangs clashed they eventually decided on a division of territory and this territory became known as a country. Sometimes areas would be divided up to give to sons of Monarchs such as where Charlemagne gave what was to become France to one son and what was Germany to another.

A reading of the history of the Vikings shows that Monarchies developed in this way - at least in Northern Europe.. Kingdoms were expanded by conquest and the indigenous populations were held in slavery. That this lead to the building of Empires and to Imperialism where much of the World was subject to British 'control' was just an extension of the practice of hundreds of years and Victoria was Empress of India - a land to which the British were totally foreign and which was exploited for the benefit of a few greedy individuals including the Crown.

Fantasies about Princess and Princesses were no more than propaganda to hide royal excesses. The Monarchies of Europe were dictatorships and it took hundreds of years for the majority to claim there freedom from both these and the ruling classes. If should be remembered that the vote in England was not granted to all citizens until the 20th century and English Governments are still well known for bestowing 'favors' on those they deem worthy so perpetuating social and class divisions.

Answer 4

Monarchies arise when the leader of a conquering group is elevated to an even greater status, by virtue of his strength/leadership/foresight that enabled them to be sucessful in amassing their territories.
Not wishing for their good fortunes to fade (and not having good talent developers), the leader's heirs would always be the ones that lead the group (in the assumption that the offspring would inherit the same strength or learn leadership skills from the leader)
Over time, this lead to the concept of "kingship" and how it could only ever be passed down from a King to his son. To prevent revolts to replace them, some royal lines even developed the idea of "Divine Right" where a higher power decreeded that theya re the rightful rulers and that no common folk should ever dare to revolt or develop a new dynasty line.

Answer 5

It helps to be the wealthiest dude around. First things he does is get a bunch of cut saplings and drive them into the ground incompassing as much real property as he thinks he can get away with, including a nice big lot overlooking his freshly laid out kingdom. Next he hires some heavys, I mean real butt kickers! Then he draws up a Deed of Trust and has his heavys deliver a copy of said document to each citizen who happens to be living on his new kingdom , here is where his butt kickers come in, some folks currently residing don't understand, so his boys cram the Trust Deed down their gullets, and presents them with their annual property tax statement, if they don't pay the boys bury them on the property, and shazam the king gets another Listing! Squatters and transients are put to work as castle builders and moat diggers, until Sir King deams their debt paid in full. Squatting damsels have the option of Doing outcall services to the King at his discression. As the Kings wealth and power grows the King instructs his heavies to enlarge his holdings in the surrounding area by moving his kingdoms boundry stakes farther away from it's Base & Meridan, he then sends his boys out for collection or buriel , depending on the squatter.( kinda like Israel does to Palestine and Lebanon) . As time passes the king usually becomes satisifed with the size of his kingdom, and kicks back to enjoy the finer things in life. Now and then the taxpayers, squatters, and indigents ban together and behead the king, have their way with his damsels and turn the castle into a major fix-up! At that point all real property is up for grabs, until the next potential king arrives.

Answer 6

Gosh, i was busy that day and didn't get to go to his coronation....
As has recently happened in several third world countries, a military coup overthrows the government and the leader of the coup declares himself king, or supreme leader, or some other title he has invented for himself.
There are no records that go back far enough to say exactly how kingship arose, but it was probably a group of clans getting together for their mutual benefit who decided one of their number had to lead them -- as government by committee has never managed to work properly. Where the idea of primogeniture came from is another mystery, but it was popular once it caught on, and is still the ruling force in succession today.

Answer 7

According to the theory of the divine rights of kings, which btw QE2 believes in, God declared all kings to be kings. That would include the first one.

Answer 8

Jim Cunningham is of route does no longer understand the regulation. first of all, Michael Jackson is useless - there is not any recourse that ought to correctly be taken adversarial to Mr. King, even is that it is someway considered slander. i in my opinion trust Peter King, Michael Jackson is a pervert and a pedophile and albeit, Jackson's death and the worship that he has received opened my eyes to the kinds of those that lie among us.

Answer 9

The first ever Hebrew king was appointed by God through the Prophet Elijiah.

Answer 10

Might is right - the first kings were the best killers and robbers in their areas so they aquired a lot of wealth and were able to pay their accomplices to support them.
