DRAGON SKIN VERSUS KARNA'S ARMOR, KAVACHA AND KUNDALA Body armor   is the whole of protecting clothing, designed to absorb and/or deflect slashing, bludgeoning, and penetrating attacks.  They were historically used to protect soldiers, whereas today, they are also used to protect police forces, private citizens and private security guards or bodyguards. Two types exist: regular non-plated personal armor (used by the people mentioned above, except combat soldiers) and hard-plate reinforced personal armor, which is used by combat soldiers, police tactical units and hostage rescue teams.  We find the use body armor is indispensable from the ancient times to the modern era of high-tech warfare.  The main motto is to defend our body from the attack of hostile enemy. The oldest known western armor is the Dendra panoply, dating from the Mycenaean Era around 1400 B.C. In the modern high-tech times, our soldiers...

ANCIENT AEROPLANES Flight has been the dream of mankind since they watched in awe as birds flew effortlessly through the sky.   But it was not until 1780 that two Frenchmen achieved lighter-than-air flight when they were lifted into the air in a hot air balloon near Paris .   It was not until the Wright brothers made their first successful manned flights at Kitty Hawk in 1903 that powered flight became a reality with the invention of manned aeroplane. Some researchers believe there are evidences to suggest that humans achieved flight earlier in history - much earlier... so early, they say, that the knowledge of this technology has been lost and ancient stories that recount adventures of human flight have been relegated only to myth. Is it possible that humans developed the technology to fly in early civilizations - or in civilizations that are now lost to history? The Wright brothers demonstrated on December 17, 1903, that it was possible for a ...

RAMA SETHU OR ADAM'S BRIDGE According to the Ramayana, after Lord Rama was forced to go into exile along with his consort Sita and brother Lakshmana, Ravana abducted Sita and took her to Lanka, his capital.   After that, having received Hanuman's report on Sita, Lord Rama and Lakshmana proceeded with their Vanara Army towards the shore of the southern sea.   There they are joined by Ravana's renegade brother, Vibhishana.   After getting boon from the Sea God, the monkeys named "Nal" and "Neel" constructed a floating bridge (known as Rama Setu) across the ocean by putting stones with the name of Lord Rama written on it into the ocean, which helped Lord Rama and Lakshmana along with their army to cross over the bridge and reach Lanka.   A lengthy battle ensued and Lord Rama killed Ravana and rescued Sita.   Lord Rama then installed Vibhishana on the throne of Lanka and returned back to Ayodhya, his capital, with his consort Sita and Lakshmana. T...

Which Is The Most Powerful God And Which Religion Should I Follow? It really does not matter which God or Religion we follow, because the supreme power that created the universe and us is the one and the only one for all religions.   It is like different names for the same thing.   For example, we call it Water in English, Jol in Bengali, Paani in Hindi, Elma in Arabic, Eau in French, das Wasser in German, Nero in Greek, Acqua in Italian, Mizu in Japanese, Shouei in Chinese, Amanzi in Zulu languages; but the thing or matter does not change.   They all refer to the same thing, water, and nothing else.   It does not change by the name or language that we call it, though it has different names. It is like a person having different names, like pet name and good name.   No matter by which name we call, it will mean the same person only.   Same is the thing with the Supreme God.   It really does not matter whether we call him/her Allah, Khuda, God, Jesus...
