Bust of Prince Khaemweset. Photo: Keith Schengili-Roberts Ramesses II was one of the most famous rulers of ancient Egypt from 1279 to 1213 BC. He was the third Pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty. He had 50 sons and between 40 and 53 daughters. During this period, Egyptian princes held important positions in the court, such as becoming high priests or commanders of the army, and Khaemweset was no exception. Khaemweset’s childhood is detailed on reliefs in three temples in Nubia. He grew up during a tumultuous period in ancient Egyptian history, when his grandfather and father waged war against the Hittite Empire to restore and expand the territory. During the famous Battle of Kadesh – the battle between Ramesses II and the Hittite king Muwatalli II – Khaemweset was also present and acted as an important assistant to his father. He was even tasked with managing prisoners of war. In temple paintings and hieroglyphs, we see him participating in many other major campaigns such as the Battle of Dapur to conquer Syria and the Siege of Qode. In 1263 BC, Khaemweset became a priest of the Temple of Ptah in Memphis when he was only 18 years old. The priest was a very important position in the temple system. They are responsible for performing sacrifices, worshiping and reciting funeral mantras. As a priest, Khaemweset presided over many important ceremonies, including the embalming and burial of several Apis bulls. This is a sacred animal worshiped in Memphis, because the Egyptians believed that they were the sons of the goddess Hathor. Khaemweset was responsible for overseeing the daily rituals in Memphis, mainly in honor of the god Ptah. He redesigned the Serapeum temple in Saqqara, where Apis bulls were buried. He dug a long and wide tunnel beneath the temple. There are many burial chambers on both sides of the tunnel [một dạng phòng trưng bày], where Apis bulls would be buried in a lavish and rich manner. In 1850, the French archaeologist Auguste Mariette thoroughly excavated the temple of the Serapeum. However, most of the rooms built on Khaemweset’s orders were empty, and most likely they were looted in ancient times. During his time, Khaemweset restored the famous pyramid of Djoser.

During his lifetime, he repaired and restored countless temples, ancient ruins, and burial sites. Because the history of Egypt spans many centuries, many old monuments and burial places of early Pharaohs or courtiers are lost and ruined. Khaemweset spent a lot of time and effort identifying their identities and restoring these monuments and structures, making them as magnificent as before. The most prominent of them is the tomb of Pharaoh Shepseskaf [người cai trị Ai Cập khoảng năm 2510 trước Công nguyên]; pyramid of Pharaoh Unas [người trị vì Ai Cập năm 2345–2315 trước Công nguyên]; pyramid of Pharaoh Sahure in the early 25th century BC; Userkaf’s pyramid; and the famous pyramid of Djoser. This is how he revived the history of Egypt and kept it from being forgotten. Khaemweset’s great merits are recorded on the walls of the pyramids he restored. Some hieroglyphic texts also describe him bringing gifts and offerings to the deceased gods and pharaohs. This shows his understanding of the importance of worship in ancient Egypt. In many ways, Khaemweset is known as the first Egyptologist, as well as one of the first archaeologists in history. Miriam Lichtheim, the famous translator of many ancient Egyptian texts, wrote of Khaemweset as follows: “Khaemweset was an archeology enthusiast. As a priest, he inspected many damaged tombs and rebuilt them. We know him as a wise scholar, dedicated to the study of ancient monuments and documents.” So far, archaeologists have not been able to determine Khaemwese’s final resting place. It is also not known exactly when or how he died. He most likely died before his father, around 1225 BC. He was about 55 years old then. During excavations of the Serapeum temple in Saqqara, French archaeologist Auguste Mariette discovered the collapsed part of a tunnel. After blowing away debris with gunpowder, he found a coffin, inside was a mummy with a gold mask that seemed to represent a dead man. The rich jewelry accompanying the mummy all bears the name of Prince Khaemweset, son of Ramesses II. However, this mummy is not human but a mass of myrrh and some scattered bones, most likely belonging to a bull. It is therefore speculated that this mummy was essentially a sacrificial Apis bull. It was created to look like a human body, specifically Prince Khaemweset. This leads scholars to believe that this is not the exact burial place of the prince. After his death, Khaemweset and his deeds lived forever in the memory of the Egyptian people. He became the central figure of several heroic stories in later centuries of Egypt, mainly during the Hellenistic period, such as “Setne Khamwas and Naneferkaptah”, “The Tale of Setne Khamwas”, “The Story of Setne Khamwas”. and Si-Osire”. In these stories, Khaemweset is called Setne Khamwas.

Mr. Cao Trung Hieu – CEO of Dan Tri Soft, Mr. Ngo Thanh Tung – Deputy General Director of SoftTech Da Nang, consultant on digital transformation strategy Dao Trung Thanh (Photo: Hoa Binh) Just a distant ideal? Regarding the proposal of Mr. Ngo Thanh Tung – Deputy General Director of SoftTech Da Nang, mentioning that there should be a set of criteria for opening an API to share data between businesses, Mr. Cao Trung Hieu – CEO of Dan Tri Soft (TP. Ho Chi Minh City) said: “The regulation of the API Open Criteria is just an idealized desire, but it is difficult to implement in reality”. Explaining more carefully, Mr. Cao Trung Hieu said: “The method of application development via API is a communication method between software, it belongs to IT expertise, and for users only need to know the software. is it useful or not? Big businesses around the world all have their own APIs that can be free or paid, but there will often be some discrepancies between one business and the other. With the same problem solving direction, IT businesses will surely have different ways, using different functions to create solutions to satisfy the problem posed by customers ”. Mr. Cao Trung Hieu gave a specific example: “For example, to make accounting software & comply with the requirements of the Ministry (if any), Dan Tri Soft when developing products have API standards for internal or to To share it outside, other businesses will use other functions as well to solve the same problem. The API integration will be done together by software enterprises to solve a certain customer request, so it is an administrative task to provide an API open criterion to share data. or ineffective for the software business. The essence here is the problem of market demand, assuming customers are using discrete software, these software companies will discuss together to offer an API connection system without a regulation. any key ”. Mr. Cao Trung Hieu – CEO of Dan Tri Soft (HCMC) – Photo: Hoa Binh Mr. Cao Trung Hieu analyzed: “It is easy to say API, but not all programmers and software development companies are capable of making API from the beginning, because it is much more complicated and expensive, but not necessarily. satisfy customer needs more than usual. When they were children, they worked quickly to make a living. When a little bit older, to get 100 customers, they must have the API as prescribed (if there is an administrative regulation as suggested). At that point, rewriting the program with the API would be difficult for them, especially maintaining compatibility with legacy clients (or at least maintaining the software development documentation). How many companies (including big ones) do Vietnam have? Recently, as the press published, Google decided not to use Oracle in the internal system but switched to SAP. The reason is that Oracle does not grant certification for Google’s cloud service to be compatible with the Oracle system. They said that Oracle cloud is competing with Google cloud, so they will not certify competitors … Thus, it can be seen that, if there was no architecture, design from the beginning, it would have to “beat up. “But repairing is even more expensive than making new ones”. There is no set of API criteria Agreeing with Mr. Cao Trung Hieu, consultant of digital transformation strategy Dao Trung Thanh also rejected Mr. Ngo Thanh Tung’s proposal: “What to do with the so-called API criteria set? APIs of Microsoft, Google, IBM, Amazon, SAP, Oracle … all have their own API sets! The problem is that they can publish to other software to use their API functions and thus can integrate system. The purchase of individual software from companies and then integrating is always a headache for the developers ”. Mr. Dao Trung Thanh Mr. Dao Trung Thanh affirmed: “Such a proposal is very impractical! For example, say that the software developed by Viettel and VNPT or FPT is already having API functions and they are certainly different. Then what kind of criteria is agreed? Beating the API over and over? It’s not that simple when the system has millions of lines of code and has to be reworked ”. Mr. Dao Trung Thanh further analyzed: “There are 2 issues, about openness depending on company policies, policies for publishing APIs. Some companies forcefully defend their APIs. For example, Sony typically only makes PlayStation 2’s official API available to registered PlayStation developers. This is because Sony wants to limit who can write games on PlayStation 2, and wants to profit from these people as much as possible. This is often the policy for companies that do not benefit from selling their API implementations. However, PlayStation 3 is fully announced APIs. Some companies offer free APIs. For example, Microsoft publishes almost complete information about APIs, so that software can be written to run on Windows platforms. The sale of third-party software coincides with the purchase of the Microsoft Windows operating system. These are usually the companies that profit from the sale of API implementations ”. Mr. Cao Trung Hieu assessed that, in terms of drug management alone, the data sharing has a positive effect: “All information on circulation and sale of pharmacies and pharmacies is linked to The health department adopts an API method between the software of the health department and the pharmacy management software, helping the management agency get more timely and more honest data ”. “However, it should be understood that this is data sharing according to national standards, not the health ministry opening data API to the outside. As for data connection from pharmacy management software and pharmacy to the medical department software, free software companies choose their own API connection method, as long as the data is in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Health. to include in the data system of regulatory agencies. The story of opening API data only concerns IT companies, but for users, they only need the result of convenience thanks to connectivity, stability and software development capabilities ”- Mr. Cao Trung Hieu confirmed.
