Pegasus,The Winged Horse Of The Skies
2007-11-11 19:52:00 Poseidon seduced Medusa in the Athena's temple. Athena got angry for this desecration, so she cursed Medusa. She turned her hair into snakes, and all those who dare to look at her eyes would be turned into stone.Perseus, Greek hero, searched for Medusa as he needed his head to defeat the marine monster called Ceto. This monster was so strong that the only way to beat it was showing it the head of Medusa, so it will be petrified.Perseus cut the head of Medussa off. And Pegasus emerged from her spilled blood.Pegasus is depicted as a gorgeous white winged horse that rides across the sky. According to the legend, where it passed, water gushed out. This is because Pegasus is symbolic descendant of Poseidon, who is not only the God of Oceans, but also of the rivers, fountains, lakes...It was said that Pegasus lived in the mount Helicon, until the Greek hero Bellerophonwent to capture him.Bellerophon needed Pegasus to carry him flying to the Olympus, where the Gods lived.Zeus realized thi...

The Curse Of Tutankhamun
2007-11-08 18:52:00 The origin of Tutankhamun is doubtful. There are two theories, one of them is that Tutankhamun could be son of Akhenaten (husband of Nefertiti). The other is that he could be son of Amenhotep III and his own daughter: Sitamun.When Tutankhamun was crowned pharaoh (at ten years old), the cult to Aton was abandoned. During his reign he ordered to repair many temples. Thus, many statues dedicated to God Amun have the face of Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun died at 19 years old. There are many hypothesis about his death but none of them definitive.In 1922 Howard Carter and Lord Carnavan discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. They commanded an expedition that entered the tomb of the pharaoh.When the last man of that expedition returned to the surface, a big sand storm started, preceded by a hawk (symbol of the royal emblem of the ancient Egypt). The falcon flew to the west, that in the ancient Egyptians beliefs was the direction to the Other World.Here starts what was cal... More About: Curse

Vampirism And The Real Dracula. (Last Part)
2007-10-28 19:42:00 As I commented in the previous article, the belief in vampires is more ancient that we could imagine. So we can find stories about vampires in the ancient Mesopotamia (Utuhu and Maskin, monstrous beings that brought diseases to the people).In the Egyptian culture there was the deity Sekhmet (appears in the "Book of the Dead" many times). In India, there is Kali-Ma, who fed on blood. There are stories about vampires in the ancient Greece and Rome. In the Aztec culture, Civataeo fed on blood and brought the disease. There's even a vampire story in the "One Thousand and One Night".So we can notice that the belief in vampires is really ancient and is present in all cultures.Although vampirism may be surrounded by supernatural details, it may be based in something as real as two serious diseases: porphyria and rabies.Rabies is transmitted by the bite of dogs, wolves, rats and bats. All those animals are associated with the vampires. It is said that vampires can shapeshift with bats and ... More About: Dracula , Real , Part , Vampirism
The Symbol Of The Dragon
2007-10-23 20:53:00 The word dragon comes from the Latin word "draco" and the Greek word "drakon" that means snake or viper snake.It's a fabulous animal and a symbolic universal figure.The dragon is present in most of the cultures of the world. In the ancient Oriental cultures as well as in the Westerner.The ethnologists Alexander Haggerty Krappe ("La genese des Mythes"), told that the dragon figure could come from the shock of discovering remains of prehistoric animals.In all the cultures the dragon has a important symbolic nature. Depending on the shape of the depicted dragon, the meaning may vary. Thus, the multi-headed dragon has a strong adverse meaning. The dragon that bites its own tail symbolizes the "Eternal Return", and has been depicted many times in emblems and shields. The symbol of the dragon was very usual in Alchemy.Colors may vary the meaning of the dragon: a red dragon is the guardian of science, and a white one is a lunar dragon. In the Eastern, a black dragon symbolizes the North, ... More About: Dragon , The Dragon , Drago

The Most Magical Nights Of Van Gogh
2007-10-18 21:10:00 Starry NightVincent van Gogh made this painting in 1889, 13 months before his death. He didn't paint it in front of the landscape, as it was his habit. He did it through his memories. And he did it from the Saint-Remy asylum (Provence).Van Gogh painted this artwork with passion, with vigorous, even desperate brushstrokes. The moon and stars are surrounded by light glows. In the distance, the village, as submerged in a dream. This picture has some Japanese influence, as he felt a great admiration for that art.He emphasized the mauve, yellow and purple colors. His euphoria can be sensed. He is the highest point of his happiness. Soon, he will fall in his deepest abyss. Since his desperation takes him, months later, to shoot himself in the chest.His agony will last for 2 days. It's said that in his deathbed he didn't stop smoking.Without a doubt, he wanted to leave. His time was gone. He was 37 years old.Cafe Terrace at NightVan Gogh depicts an elegant cafe-terrace in the on the "Pl... More About: Nights , Magica
