The Tainos were the first original settlers in Hispaniola

The Tainos were the first original settlers in Hispaniola island which is now of course the Dominican republic. It was in fact the famed explorer Christopher Columbus who discovered this indigenous Indian



 civilisation upon landing on the island on October 12th 1492 in his quest to find a quicker trade route to India thinking he was closer than he actually was. Eventually this fascinating little known about indigenous tribe were wiped out by conquerors and disease with only a very small number of families today who hold the bloodline of the Taino. So with all that said, the Taino worshipped a deity known as the Zemi an image which wascarved into countless numbers of artefacts and made into enigmatic figurines which have thankfully survived because it gives us a good idea what Zemi looked like. It was said that Zemi could act at will to influence the development of human life and the environment along with cohabiting with us to the point of even interbreeding with us allegedly. I have supplied a curious looking figurine of this powerful sky god that the Taino venerated and to me this little known about influencer of human affairs seems to be wearing what could well be interpreted as a protective space suit and helmet.

If Zemi did indeed arrive from the heavens as the Taino were convinced then it would then make sense to assume that the visitor or visitors would come prepared for an unknown atmosphere and conditions. Just to conclude it's also worth noting that the Taino also recorded sky beings they referred to as cemíes and religiously (No pun intended) believed in a Supreme Being whom they called Yucahu, Protector Maócoti Bagua, whose mother was Atabey the Mother of Waters who would conceive these cemíes who dwelt in the skies. However with all that said, our trusty scholars and history book bearers would have you believe that all of this incredibly important and well preserved ancient knowledge is simply the stuff of pure mythology, an utter travesty.👩‍🚀

The Trojan Women (Ancient Greek: Τρῳάδες, romanized: Trōiades)

Image
The Trojan Women (Ancient Greek: Τρῳάδες, romanized: Trōiades), also translated as The Women of Troy, and also known by its  transliterated Greek title Troades, is a tragedy by the Greek playwright Euripides. Produced in 415 BC during the Peloponnesian War, it is often considered a commentary on the capture of the Aegean island of Melos and the subsequent slaughter and subjugation of its populace by the Athenians earlier that year (see History of Milos).[1] 415 BC was also the year of the scandalous desecration of the hermai and the launch of the Athenians' second expedition to Sicily, events which may also have influenced the author. The Trojan Women was the third tragedy of a trilogy dealing with the Trojan War. The first tragedy, Alexandros, was about the recognition of the Trojan prince Paris who had been abandoned in infancy by his parents and rediscovered in adulthood. The second tragedy, Palamedes, dealt with Greek mistreatment of their fellow Greek Palamedes. This trilogy w...

A magnificent castle founded on the top of a hill could be seen over the horizon, with grandiose walls surrounding it's premises. The gates of the castle were wide open and the carriages of rich nobles trooped in. The air seemed lighter,  the sun seemed to have a noble glow to it. Cherry smiles and laughter could be seen and heard all around Inside one of the castle rooms, a beautiful young lady stood watching the crowd of nobles below through the window of her room. She rubbed her fingers against the flat end of a wooden necklace that had three sevens grafted on it's surface. It was a departing gift from someone dear to her. Her eyes were dull and lacked excitement. The merry seemed to be non-existent within the walls of her luxurious room. "Lady Rose! Are you dressed yet? The ceremony is about to begin" the sound of a knock was heard in the room, accompanied by the voice of one of the King's servant.  Silence prevailed until the door creaked open as Rose's p...

The Weirdest Marriage in the World was in the 80's. Started when Swiss Corina Hoffman visited Kenya. Hofmann and her boyfriend Marco made a trip to Kenya. There, she met a Samburu wàrrior named Lketinga Leparmorijo and instantly found him irresistible. She left Marco, went back to Switzerland to sell her possessions, and, in 1987, returned to Kenya, determined to find Lketinga, which she eventually did. The couple moved in together, married, and had a daughter. Hofmann moved into her mother-in-law's manyatta (compound) and learned to live as a Samburu woman, fetching wood and water. She opened a small shop in the village, to sell basic goods. Hofmann suffered several hàrdships, including disèases (mainly malaria) and marital problems. Increasingly paranoid jealousy from her husband, possibly a side effect of his addiĉtion to the d.rug khat (miraa), severely dàmaged her relationship, and in 1990 she decided to return to Switzerland for good, taking her daughter with her. Later o...
