"Presiding over the Ages: From Hermes Trismegistus to Lord Salisbury" In the realm of ancient wisdom, Hermes Trismegistus presided as the legendary sage, guiding seekers on a path of enlightenment. His teachings echoed through time, leaving an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. Amidst the chaos of World War I, Sir Samuel Evans took his place at the Prize Court in London. With unwavering authority and impartiality, he presided over cases that determined fates and resolved disputes amidst a tumultuous era. Coleridge with his black cap symbolized justice personified. As he sat upon his judicial seat, he presided over countless trials, ensuring fairness prevailed and truth triumphed. Great Queens of the Past like Nefertiti ruled with grace and power. Presiding over their kingdoms, they left an everlasting legacy etched into history's tapestry. Within the tomb of Thutmose III in Thebes lies a painting depicting him as judge and jury. In this ancient civilization's belief system, he presides over matters of life and death with divine authority. Japanese folklore portrays Yama as the Great Judge of Hell. With an imposing presence and stern countenance, he presides over souls' fate after death - dispensing justice according to their earthly deeds. Even dictators like Francisco Franco sought control while driving through Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid. Behind tinted windows lay a man who believed himself to be above all laws - arrogantly presiding without accountability. The suffragettes gathered at Caxton Hall in 1908 were warriors for equality. They demanded change by challenging societal norms; united under one cause - women's rights - they aimed to dismantle patriarchal structures that had long reigned supreme. Pope Pius II stood tall as he presided over the Diet of Mantua in 1459-1503.
