Chapter 2344 bêtesfauves (middle)

The Dead Sea document was discovered in 1947 by a shepherd accidentally in a cave. Due to the dry climate, the parchment and papyrus are well preserved. In addition to the Hebrew version of the Old Testament, there are also remnants of the Book of Enoch. roll.

   Compared to his grandson Noah, Enoch is not so well known. This book records what happened before the Great Flood.

   In ancient Roman times, the work of reviewing books has always been the responsibility of the Prosecutor of Roman cultural works, and later this position was gradually replaced by Christian monks. The church has always had the infamy of being imprisoned in thought, but even if the secular world has freedom of the press, the priests still do not intend to change.

The book of Enoch contains allegations of defaming angels. When the angels descended to the world, they married human women and gave birth to giants. The giants, because of their huge size, ate much more than ordinary people, so they began to **** food and livestock from humans. , and even began to eat people, so a terrible war broke out between humans and giants.

   This is similar to the giant war recorded by the wizard, the difference is that the giant war does not record the origin of the giant, but records how to fight the giant.

  Giants love to drink, and often want to get drunk without restraint, which has become a weakness in the giant war. At that time, wizards and Muggles were not separated. In other words, they fought side by side. Even if the giants were defeated and hid in the forest, they were still wiped out, and they were almost on the verge of extermination.

  In ancient Greek mythology, after Cronus overthrew his father Uranus, in order to avoid being overthrown by his children as in the prophecy, the children were swallowed by him as soon as they were born, and only Zeus survived. When Zeus became an adult, he designed Cronus to spit out his brothers and sisters, and led them to overthrow the Titans headed by Cronus. Most of the Titans were imprisoned in hell, but some such as Prometheus Siban is imprisoned in the Caucasus Mountains, or supports the sky like Atlas.

Legend has it that the king of North Africa is a descendant of Atlas. The Atlas Mountains in northwestern Africa are named after Atlas, but there are Berbers living in that area. In Berber , the word "mountain" is Adra or adras, so this is also believed to be the origin of the name of the Atlas Mountains.

Although Berbers are now concentrated in West Africa, and a small amount can be found in Egypt, they were actually active in Syria at the earliest. At least they once established countries in Algeria and Tunisia, which are adjacent to Carthage. They lived as nomads in their early years. .

   Later, the Berbers began to do business, monopolizing the "Silk Road" passing through the Sahara Desert, and also playing a very important role in the Mediterranean trade. They are not only distributed in Africa, but also exist in the Middle East and Central Asia.

Frankincense is native to the Red Sea area. The "Spice Road" is a trade between Europe, Asia and Africa that coexists with the "Silk Road". They are both depraved and needed for worship, such as the gorgeous robes worn by priests and their Incense in hand.

In the Book of Enoch, the angels teach women and their children how to make beautiful crafts, leading humans astray, plus their giant children are increasingly cruel, they drink blood as wine and can't stand it The sinful earth protested, and then the supreme **** sent an angel to tell Noah that the entire world would be destroyed, and the great flood would fill the earth and destroy everything. and the fallen will be destroyed.

There is a country called Abyssinia on the Red Sea, but this is the name of Christendom. It is an "enclave". Da Gama once led the Portuguese musketeers to defeat the army of Adal Sultan, but was defeated by the Arabs. The mercenaries were defeated and killed, and the Emperor Galavidvos led the Portuguese remnants to defeat the Sultan's army and regain the lost ground.

According to the Bible, the Queen of Sheba brought rich gifts to Jerusalem to meet with King Solomon of Israel. All the Queen of Sheba asked for, and King Solomon complied with her and gave her according to his favor, so the queen and her servants returned to the country. .

   She took more than Solomon's gifts. It is said that shortly after the queen returned home, she gave birth to a descendant of King Solomon, who later became the emperor of Abyssinia.

  During the Great Schism, the priests of the parish were neither Roman Catholic nor Greek Orthodox, but Arians. After the emperor regained lost territory, Portuguese missionaries came to Abyssinia and tried to establish Catholic authority in the parish, which led to the outbreak of civil war, then the emperor expelled the Portuguese missionaries, restored the traditional religion, and then Solomon The dynasty gradually began to Byzantine, more than one emperor was killed by his son, the power of the emperor declined, the status of dukes, governors and tribal chiefs of the major provinces rose, and the empire gradually disintegrated into a series of independent or semi-independent kingdoms.

  In 1773, a Scottish explorer named James Bruce came to Abyssia to find out the secrets of giants.

   At that time, the Book of Enoch could no longer be found in the whole of Europe, but it was still there in the Abyssinian church. He copied it by hand and brought it back to Europe.

  Although this book is not allowed to be printed in the UK, it is not forbidden for people to copy it by hand.

Talleyrand published the "Letters of the German Patriots" in Prussia to oppose the Habsburg rule. Fort, England is separated by a sea to the west, and only the north is allowed to annex Louis XIV in the name of "heritage". This piece of Spanish Netherlands was later annexed by the Habsburg family, which happened to be Charles II, whom Renwell had expelled, went into exile in France, and the two formed an alliance to attack Holland, ruled by the House of Orange.

   is also the success story of the Habsburgs, which made Spain once have the intention of marrying the emperor of Abyssinia.

At present, the Abyssinian church adopts a patriarchal system, which is similar to the Eastern Orthodox Church, but not the same. The archbishop of this diocese is part-time by the Patriarch of Alexandria, who is second only to the Patriarch of the West and the Patriarch of Constantinople. , higher than the Patriarch of the East and the Patriarch of Jerusalem, which means that the Patriarch of Tsarist Russia cannot control them.

  The Patriarch of the East has nothing to do with them, and the Pope of the West has nothing to do with them, and the Scottish explorer may be misunderstood as an envoy of the Anglican Church, otherwise the Book of Enoch would not be open to "mortals".

   This is Georgiana's guess, and she is not sure whether it is true or not. In the past, traders only sold cheap books with rough paper to the rough, and only rich churches could afford beautifully bound books. Belgium is rich in coal resources, and there is a lot of charcoal in the Ardennes, but this can only be used for fire heating, not for industry.

If you follow Lubran's soda production process formula, carbon monoxide gas will be produced. The useful gas is mainly carbon monoxide, and water vapor will hinder combustion. Although sulfur monoxide can be burned, it will produce an unpleasant odor, which is not suitable for indoor combustion. .

The newly installed gas lamps in Paris only cost one-fifth of the cost of the street lamps burned with whale oil. There was once a Swiss who improved the oil of the kerosene lamps so that the black smoke and smell produced by the burning were not so great, but he was in When applying for a patent, because some terms were touched by mistake, the patent application was not successful, and his technology was "open" for use. Others made a lot of money, but he himself died of poverty.

   And even if a patent is legally applied, some people will default on their debts, and some people will even find a way to prevent the patent owner from continuing to hold the patent when the patent expires. For example, John Lombe, an explorer from Derbyshire, knew about the spinning machine in a book about Padua machinery, and then went to Italy to find it, and waited for him to imitate the machine for twisting cotton yarn according to the machine he saw. After that, he applied for a patent for fourteen years. He built a factory on an island and kept it strictly confidential. He made a lot of money because of it. When he wanted to continue to extend the patent term, other manufacturers let him in in the form of compensation and reward. He gave up.

   They can also use "you're welcome" means, but it's not good for everyone, let alone Thomas Lombe, who provided funds for John, has become a member and a viscount.

People should take it as soon as possible, and don't be too greedy. Even the giant in Jack and the Magic Beans did not kill the golden rooster that laid the eggs. The giant just shouted to the poor chicken every day, "Lay more eggs, you are useless. The bird." The scolded chicken couldn't lay eggs because of nervousness. Instead of killing it, the giant made a fairy harp and played a beautiful melody to appease the poor chicken.

It's no wonder that the giant lives in the sky like the Titan, and Jack "takes away" the chicken and the harp while the giant is taking a nap, then he quickly cuts down the vines to prevent the giant from chasing after him, and then announces that the chicken and the harp The harp is "free" and will live "happily" with Jack!

   "Lay more eggs, you useless bird."

   Many years later, will the old Jack say the same thing as the old giant? Or that Jack, who "conquered" the giant with his wits, killed the chicken, looked at its belly, and tried to figure out why it laid the golden egg?

  The animals on Noah's Ark are all paired, and the chicken that lays the golden egg will also grow old. Before it grows old, find a companion for it and let its offspring continue, and the young hen can lay eggs.

  Severus used to call the children little trolls, who were as tall as giants, but a different species.

   But it's ridiculous that wizards wouldn't believe that giants were descended from fallen angels.

  Even if charcoal is no longer produced in the Ardennes forest, paper can still be made from wood, but is there such a technology now?

This is a good question. The forest is a place outside the law. It is a paradise for thieves who block the road, rob and kill people, and it is also a refuge for the weak. Whether it is a villager fleeing the war or a homeless homeless person, they all settled in the forest belt. They drag their sons and daughters into shacks that should be made of branches and grass stalks. Only a few people made a fortune because of land reclamation, and then they built brick and wood houses.

  A place like Cayenne is almost the same, with nothing but trees and swamps, so how did Pishgru get back to civilization from that exiled land?

Although the nobles also hunted, unfortunately they sometimes forgot to exercise this power. Many wild animals harassed the plains. The deer would eat the peasants' crops, and the pigs would dig the potatoes in the fields. The cost of maintaining the land is more than ten. A tax is even more, especially the hares, who not only destroy the vines, but also eat the wild fruits that can be gathered. The lords did not do hunting, or they all went to Versailles, and the villagers did not have the privilege to hunt, so they had to hire hunters to deal with it.

   In order to kill these harmful animals, the king allowed ordinary people of Provence to use lassoes, traps or guns within their arable land, and allowed the sheepdog not to be leashed. This is against the District High Court injunction, but whether it is allowed or not, the farmer is always catching prey.

   There are always people who want to eat meat, especially when there is a famine, they want to eat everything.

   Those eyes in the dark glowed like a wolf, so that it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a beast hiding in the forest...

   They are probably more dangerous than wolves, because they are intelligent and hide, at least not as conspicuous as the giants.

  If the giants are not extinct, then where are the giants?
