Alexander Selkirk

Image
Alexander Selkirk Alexander Selkirk Selkirk was a Scottish sailor, born in 1676. He was a rather hotheaded man, and tended to look for exciting voyages whenever he could. In the early 1700s, he served in the War of the Spanish Succession, and after gaining valuable experience at sea, in 1704, he joined a British expedition to the South Pacific, just about as far away from Scotland as you can get. On this voyage in 1704, Selkirk and his crewmates had made it as far as the totally uninhabited Juan Fernandez Islands, an archipelago more than 400 miles off the coast of Chile, when they discovered they needed supplies and fresh water. However, when their ship docked at Juan Fernandez Island, Selkirk realized that the ship was in bad shape and needed repairs. He boldly told his captain that he refused to sail on the vessel until it was repaired. The captain refused to repair it, thinking the vessel was fine, and that Selkirk was exaggerating, so he took him up on his offer: he gave Selkirk a...

HUGE CALIGULA SHIPS

-
Image
Have you ever wondered, if  any ancient Greek or Roman ships  like those you've read in books and heard in tales ever been discovered intact?  For sure there has been, infact it was one of the most amazing discoveries ever found ancient they were ancient ships which are excavated in 1929 in Lake Nemi (Nemorensis Lacus). Yes, these ships were found intact but, the sad thing is, once artifacts were moved to museum in Rome in May 1944 they were completely burned down as a result of the shelling of German positions by the Americans. None of the two has survived to this day. Why were the ships unique? The ships were monumental and full of amazing technology. They were over 70 meters long and 24 wide, a system of supplying hot and cold water (pipes with the name of the emperor), bathrooms and baths. Everything in marbles, gold and ivory. Undoubtedly they served the Emperor’s private pleasures – a large living room, kitchen or bedroom indicate that the ships were treated as mobile palaces...

THE BATMAN

Image
   To some people Batman is believed to be a fictional character. YES . That could be true but not to some extent. Let's take a dive into the ocean of history about the Original Batman     Some 2,500 years ago, and even before DC Comics introduced us to Batman , the ancient Maya worshiped Camazotz, an ancient god that had the body of a person and the head of a bat, one of the most dominating dieties in the pre-Hispanic pantheon. Curiously, that description may sound awfully similar to a character most of us are familiar with, seeing him in movies, series, and comic strips. Camazotz (meaning ‘death bat’ in the Kʼiche’ Mayan language of Guatemala) originated deep in Mesoamerican mythology as a dangerous cave-dwelling bat creature. Beginning around 100 BCE, the cult of Camazotz worshiped an anthropomorphic monster with the body of a human, head of a bat. Camazotz is also one of the four animal demons responsible for wiping out mankind during the age of the first sun. Amongst the Zap...

BAPTIZED

Baptized Day CXCII Day CXCIII of CCCLXVI I was once a saint with words Fighting the good cause With my ink  Placing demons of words in everlasting curse I was once an apostle Preaching the gospel of poetry I feed on metaphor For the jungle of assonance got the best of me But overtime I started personal fornication Leaving personification to be killed beautifully By those who made oxymoron a moron I neglected syndoche Barring it to be sync as a cache in my world of art Making euphony a felony to me How ironic? For without hyperbole I could call myself the best For with alliteration I win war warmly with words willingly as a warrior of words But, suddenly I was out of the box The box of art And I was lost in blank darkness Now, sitting to reminiscence On my success and failure I realized, I need to be reborn To be baptized once again Not by blood or water Neither by a ghost or genies Not by demons but a spirit so holy I went back to my source My source Still there so beautiful And pure l...

WOOD WIDE WEB

Communication is a vital point and bedrock of relationships among living organisms. We conveynformations in our social enviroments through communication, thus living organisms would find live a bore and burdensome if communication wasn't invented. So clever and intelligent was God himself, for through the creation process, He spoke and commanded all His creation, thus emphasising the importance of communication. Naturally, human communicate with their mouth, eyes, touch and so on, also animals were said to have their means of communication, but how do plants especially trees communicate? Over centuries, fungi were generally believed to be harmful to plants, parasites that cause disease and dysfunction. But recently, it has been understood that certain kinds of common fungi exist in subtle symbiosis with plants, bringing about not infection but connection. These fungi send out gossamer-fine fungal tubes called hyphae, which penetrate the soil and weave into the...
