The tale of the enigmatic giant serpent

A weird rumor circulates on internet forums and podcasts, claiming that a 50-foot serpent hides in Central Africa, ready to strike passing aircraft if disturbed. Probably fake news, like most cryptozoology stories, but nonetheless it is a fantastic narrative. In 1959, a WWII Belgian Air Force Colonel reported spotting a massive greenish-brown snake while helicoptering above Katanga Province in the Belgian-occupied Congo. He claimed to be an expert pilot who could accurately judge the size of ground objects from above. He claimed that when the plane sank within 30 feet, the snake raised its neck by 10 feet and peered at the chopper for a bite. The pilot, a respected Air Force veteran, was trustworthy and had no apparent reason to lie. However, it appears unlikely that this mythological snake resides in the Congo basin.

Mountain Of Gold

Recently, the Democratic Republic of the Congo experienced something straight out of a fantasy or treasure hunt narrative. After a mountain of gold-rich resources was uncovered, the country's authorities were obliged to halt mining in one village. Locals were seen excavating the earth using shovels and other instruments to collect gold from the soil. Some were spotted using only their hands. They dug the soil inside the gold deposits and transported what they could back to their dwellings to clean it and extract the gold. Because a powerful armed gang controlled the valuable gold mines in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, these villagers were seeking to profit from their find, before the mountain was taken over by the group.

China, like Europe during the Middle Ages, was ruled by feudalism. The capital was ruled by a single king, while dukes paid homage and respect in exchange for the privilege of administering their own vassal states. The Zhou Dynasty was the last of Chinas feudal kingdoms. It started roughly 3,000 years ago and lasted approximately 800 years. However, by the second half of the dynasty, the Zhou royals had lost all political power. Real power was in the hands of the dukes, who began to call themselves kings. Bigger states conquered smaller states, and after hundreds of years, China was controlled by seven kingdoms — the Warring States. Qin Shi Huang was concerned about the future of his kingdom and tried everything he could to save it from disintegrating. In the process, he not only united Chinas territory and established a strong central government, but he also required the standardization of the Chinese language. The characters people used to write would be the same wherever they went, regardless of their spoken dialect. Qins legal system was exceptionally rigorous. Even slight infractions could result in serious penalties. Qin Shi Huang died in 210 B.C. Fu Su, his enlightened son, should have replaced him, but after years of conflict, Qins bureaucrats were hardened men who wanted profit and power. They seized power and pushed Fu Su to commit suicide. The Qin Dynasty lasted only 15 years before collapsing. However, the central authority, imperial majesty, and cultural unity it established endured for more than two millennia. The term China is derived from the ch pronunciation of the q in Qin, and historians today refer to Ying Zheng as Qin Shi Huang — the First Emperor. Foot Binding in China Shocking photographs have been released, revealing the terrible reality of the ancient Chinese practice of foot binding. The technique, which was carried out on girls as young as four, involved fracturing toes to manipulate the feet into a lotus form. Foot-binding, as it is known, was originally practiced 1,000 years ago. It was normal for centuries before being outlawed in 1911. It became popular among courtesans after a Tang Dynasty emperor fell in love with a mistress who had tiny feet and wrapped them in silk while dancing. The technique became common among upper-class court performers, but it quickly extended to other classes. Molding the lotus-shaped foot requires cutting a girls toenails extremely short when she is between the ages of four and nine, then firmly wrapping the foot in bandages. It was commonly done in the winter when the feet were numb, making it slightly less painful, but it was still an extremely distressing event. Having lotus-shaped feet was considered a sign of riches and beauty; nevertheless, only girls were exposed to this procedure. Although foot-binding happened in all socioeconomic groups, it was particularly popular in wealthier households who could afford not to work. Once a foot was bound, it was nearly impossible to undo. There are now only a handful of surviving elderly ladies who got the procedure, and they have suffered lifetime agony and disability as a result. The images depict the horrors of foot-binding during the Qing dynasty, which ruled from 1644 to 1912. After their authority ended, life in China altered dramatically, and many ancient traditions, including foot-binding, were lost to history.$
