Anchimayen The Anchimayen (in the mapudungun language, also spelled "Anchimallén" or "Anchimalguén" in Spanish) is a mythical creature in Mapuche mythology. Anchimayens are described as little creatures that take the form of small children, and can transform into fireball flying spheres that emit bright light. They are the servants of a kalku (a type of Mapuche sorcerer), and are created using the corpses of children. Anchimayens are sometimes confused with Kueyen (the Mapuche lunar goddess), because she also produces a bright light. See also[edit] References[edit] Louis C. A History of 'Real' Zombies Zombies are all the rage these days — on television, in movies, books and now in the news. Of course zombies aren’t new — they were co-opted decades ago by pop culture, especially in George Romero’s 1968 classic zombie film Night of the Living Dead. Or were they? Actually, notes Blake Smith, zombie aficionado and co-host of the monster-themed MonsterTalk podcast, “Though many people think of Night of the Living Dead as being all about zombies, Romero never called them zombies; he wanted them to be ghouls. The public called them zombies, so the name stuck.” NEWS: Did Zombies Roam Medieval Ireland?

The Identical Twins - Humour - SmirkingLoon.com Home > Humour Joe and John were identical twins. Joe owned an old dilapidated boat and kept pretty much to himself. Unbeknownst to him, his brother John's wife died suddenly. A kind old neighbor woman mistook him for John and said: "I'm so sorry for your loss. Joe, thinking she was talking about his boat said: "Hell no! She had a bad crack in the back and a pretty big hole in the front too. I guess what finally finished her off was when I rented her to those four guys looking for a good time. The old woman fainted. Contact us «The Bridegroom Fisherman | The Naked Car Crash» Bush Vs. Zombies Jewish mythology Jewish mythology is the sacred and traditional narratives that help explain and symbolize Judaism. Elements of Jewish mythology have had a profound influence on Christian and Islamic mythology, as well as world culture in general. Christian mythology directly inherited many of the narratives from the Jewish people, sharing in common the narratives from the Old Testament. Islamic mythology also shares many of the same stories; for instance, a creation account spaced out over six periods, the legend of Abraham, the stories of Moses and the Israelites, and many more. Tanakh[edit] Jewish mythology contains similarities to the myths of other Middle Eastern cultures. The Biblical prophets, including Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah, had a concept of the divine that differed significantly from that of the nature religions. "the sun, moon, stars, sky and earth are not gods in their own right, hostile to Yahweh. Zoroastrian influence[edit] R. Linear history[edit] Genesis creation narrative[edit]

Death in Norse paganism The soul[edit] Funeral[edit] The grave goods had to be subjected to the same treatment as the body, if it was to accompany the dead person to the afterlife. If a person was immolated, then the grave goods had to be burnt as well, and if the deceased was to be interred, the objects were interred together with him.[1] The usual grave for a thrall was probably not much more than a hole in the ground.[2] He was probably buried in such a way as to ensure both that he did not return to haunt his masters and that he could be of use to his masters after they died. Slaves were sometimes sacrificed to be useful in the next life.[1] A free man was usually given weapons and equipment for riding. An artisan, such as a blacksmith, could receive his entire set of tools. It was common to burn the corpse and the grave offerings on a pyre, in which the temperature reached 1,400 degrees Celsius; much higher than modern crematorium furnaces attain.

Do The Math: 8 Reasons Harry Potter Is Greater Than Twilight Let me preface this by saying that I didn’t mind the first Twilight movie. It wasn’t art, didn’t have much to say, but it was dumb fun aimed at getting little girls’ body temperatures all warm, and I thought it was pretty amusing. Girls in the same row as me quoted lines that they knew would be recited on screen, they giggled at the sight of Edward, sighed at that really terrible “And then the lion fell in love with the lamb” line. Yet, somehow, I walked out fairly entertained. But then the Harry Potter comparisons started rolling out. So how is Potter better than Twilight? Christian Undertones > Christian Overtones It’s more than well known that Stephanie Meyer comes from a Mormon background. Dweebs > Emos Harry Potter fans and Twilight fans generally come from two very different worlds. Hogwarts > Forks There is no part of me that doesn’t believe that Hogwarts exists. Fairy Tales > Teen Tales One of the most important tools in the arts of literature and film is allusion. Hermione > Bella

Norse funeral Norse funerals, or the burial customs of Viking Age North Germanic Norsemen (early medieval Scandinavians), are known both from archaeology and from historical accounts such as the Icelandic sagas, Old Norse poetry, and notably from the account of Ahmad ibn Fadlan. Throughout Scandinavia, there are many remaining tumuli in honour of Viking kings and chieftains, in addition to runestones and other memorials. Some of the most notable of them are at the Borre mound cemetery, in Norway, at Birka in Sweden and Lindholm Høje and Jelling in Denmark. A prominent tradition is that of the ship burial, where the deceased was laid in a boat, or a stone ship, and given grave offerings in accordance with his earthly status and profession, sometimes including sacrificed slaves. Afterwards, piles of stone and soil were usually laid on top of the remains in order to create a tumulus. Grave goods[edit] It was common to leave gifts with the deceased.
