DRAGONS

There are many various references to Dragons in ancient texts from the Christian Bible, to a prophetic poem written in the 15th century. According to ancient mythology these Dragons were serpents, could fly, breath fire, had horns, a tail, were usually Red, Green, or White, and they live in caves in the ground.
The Christian Bible says that The Dragon was cast out of the Heavens (sky) to Earth. It also says that The Dragon will cause a great flood, that the woman has to run to the mountains to flee from.
Once you know what a Dragon really is, Revelations starts to make a whole lot more sense.
So…what exactly are Dragons?



The Christian Bible tells us in Revelations 12:9 in plain terms that The Devil, AKA Satan, is a Dragon.
The two main types of Dragons are European Dragons and Chinese Dragons, both of which hold fundamental values in their respective ancient cultures. People feared and respected these Dragons. Chinese dragons can take on a human form, and the five-clawed dragon was a symbol of the Chinese emperors.



The word dragon entered the English language in the early 13th century from Old French dragon, which in turn comes from Latin draconem (nominative draco) meaning “huge serpent, dragon,” from the Greek word δρακων, drakon (genitive drakontos) “serpent, giant seafish”, which is believed to have come from an earlier stem drak-, a stem of derkesthai, “to see clearly,” from Proto-Indo-European derk- “to see” or “the one with the (deadly) glance.”

Seismic Waves and Earth's Interior

When you look at a seismogram the wiggles you see are an indication that the ground is being, or was, vibrated by seismic waves. Seismic waves are propagating vibrations that carry energy from the source of the shaking outward in all directions. You can picture this concept by recalling the circular waves that spread over the surface of a pond when a stone is thrown into the water. An earthquake is a more complicated process than a stone splashing into water, and the seismic waves that are set up during an earthquake are more varied than those on the pond.

mystery behind Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Islamic, Indian and Persian architectural styles. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage." While the white domed marble mausoleum is its most familiar component, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures.
 Building began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, and employed thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.

History Of Airplanes

The dream of flying is as old as mankind itself. However, the concept of the airplane has only been around for two centuries. Before that time, men and women tried to navigate the air by imitating the birds. They built wings to strap onto their arm or machines with flapping wings called ornithopters. On the surface, it seemed like a good plan. After all, there are plenty of birds in the air to show that the concept does work.

It is believed that In Ancient Rome, the boxing fighters were usually offenders and slaves.

How ancient astronomers measured the size of the Earth?

Geometry (Ancient Greek: geo- “earth“, -metron “measurement“) was originally dealing with measuring of the earth. Today, geometry has wider meaning: it is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions ofshape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry arose independently in a number of early cultures as a body of practical knowledge concerning lengths, areas, and volumes, with elements of a formal mathematical science.

Units of Measure and Earth

Geometry (Ancient Greek: geo- “earth“, -metron “measurement“) was originally dealing with measuring of the earth. In our article “How ancient astronomers could have establish dimensions of the Earth?” we presented a simple method of establishing circumference (and diameter) of the earth that (most likely) was used by the ancient astronomers.
