Je! Kulikuwa na kusudi la Dodekahedroni za Kirumi?

 

[Mshana Jr]

Chariot makers used these to gauge the taper when making wheel spokes. That's why the hole sizes change on each side of the dedecahedron. (the one pictured on the right is NOT a dodecahedron, it has a different number of faces and had some other purpose entirely.

For complotists only: The one in the bottom right-hand corner is not a dodecahedron. Looks icosahedral to me which makes me think of...[emoji1623]. It even has the spikes so...

Gold Stater ya Mfalme wa Seleucid Antiochos I Soter, 280-261 BCE (iliyotengenezwa huko Ai-Khanoum/Afghanistan). Yeye ndiye mtawala wa mwisho anayejulikana kuhusishwa na jina la Mfalme wa Ulimwengu wa Mesopotamia wa zamani

Santa Claus ni nani, kwa nini anaonekana hivyo, na alitoka wapi?

 

[Mshana Jr]

Santa Claus wa asili, kwa kusema, ni Mtakatifu Nicholas (270-343 BK). Alikuwa askofu wa Kikristo wa mapema aliyezaliwa Myra, Uturuki ya kisasa, ambaye alijulikana kwa kufanya miujiza na kusaidia wahitaji. Katika karne ya 5 Mtawala wa Kirumi Theodosius II alijenga kanisa kwa heshima yake.

Kila mtakatifu Mkristo ana sikukuu. Katika kesi ya St Nicholas ilikuwa Desemba 6. Bila shaka, sherehe ya siku yake katika kanisa la Kikristo la mapema ilikuwa tofauti na ilivyo sasa.

Lakini hapo ndipo athari za awali za Santa Claus zinaanzia, katika askofu mtoa zawadi kutoka Uturuki.

Ilikuwa ni Ukristo wa Ulaya ya kipagani na kuunganishwa kwa tamaduni za kidini ambayo ilisaidia kuunda takwimu tunayojua leo. Katika upagani wa Kijerumani kulikuwa na sikukuu ya katikati ya majira ya baridi iliyoitwa Yuletide ambayo ilihusisha kunywa, kula, na usiku wa mauzauza.

Yuletide pia ilihusishwa na Uwindaji wa Pori wa Odin, safari kupitia anga ya usiku ya vizuka, valkyries, na viumbe wengine wakiongozwa na Odin au takwimu nyingine ya mythological.
