Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1532 Wind Rose
In addition to spa treatments, there is another form of entertainment in Germany - illusion.

Georgiana felt that it was actually a stage performance that should be called magic, although the magician who performed the magic did not have magic.

They want to use whimsy to create some illusions that the audience couldn't think of at the time, and it seems easy to put it bluntly.They rely on this to make a living. If someone reveals their secret, then everyone will know this illusion, and no one will pay for tickets to watch their performance.

Georgiana really had no interest in opera, but there was more than one type of entertainment in Paris. The circus and illusionists took turns performing for her in the theater of the Burgundy mansion, which made her boring life a lot more interesting.

At the same time, the results of the research on the altar came out. The golden thread that looked like a magic circle was not a magic circle, but a direction indicator called a compass rose.

This pattern often appears on maps and charts, used to indicate directions, and is widely used in navigation, exploration, military and so on.The earliest compasses used by humans were magnetic, using the earth's magnetic field.There are no lines of latitude and longitude on the nautical charts of the Middle Ages, but some straight lines that radiate from the center in an orderly manner. This line is also called the compass line. The wind gods in ancient Greek legends are carefully depicted. on these lines.

Portuguese taxpayers called their compass face "rosedosventor", which means wind rose. Sailors would compare the position of the sun with the "wind rose" to find out the course, so the rose line originally refers to the line that guides the direction.

The first person to clearly put forward the theory of latitude and longitude in history was Ptolemy in ancient Greece. He first measured the prime meridian. Later, the Tang Dynasty monks in the 8th century also measured the prime meridian. The name "meridian" comes from The Meridian Road outside Chang’an in Tang Dynasty was said to be a large surveying and mapping project at that time, covering almost the entire territory of the Tang Empire, in order to make a more accurate calendar for the emperor to predict the solar eclipse, so as to avoid people’s eclipse due to the "Tiangou eclipse the sun". Total eclipse, partial eclipse and panic.

In the 16th century, Britain first had a world map with a graticule. At that time, the zero-degree meridian was in the Azores, and it was changed to London in 1676. It was originally set at St. Paul's Cathedral, and later set at the Greenwich Observatory.

In 1634, French Cardinal Chelieux selected Yale Island, the westernmost point of the Canary Islands, as the zero-degree longitude. In 1667, the Paris Observatory next to the Luxembourg Gardens was established, and the zero-degree longitude was also changed to Paris.

In the same century, the Dutch were known as "sea coachmen", and half of the European shipping capacity was in the country. Therefore, the zero-degree meridian on the Dutch nautical chart is the north-south axis of the West Church in Amsterdam.

The Pope’s meridian, which divides Spain to the west and Portugal, is the zero-degree longitude. The zero-degree longitude used on the map of Italy is located in Rome. The Qing government set the central axis of the capital as the zero-degree longitude in the 48th year of Kangxi. That year was 1709. The time of the prime meridian is a little later, but it was probably in the 17th century. Later, this line was called the rose line. There is also such a line in the Paris Observatory, but it is not gold-plated, but pure copper.On the streets of Paris in the 21st century, if someone looks down, they will find some brass plates marked "arago". imprint.

With regard to the statement that the church binds the mind, what does the church bind?

Napoleon Bonaparte believed that science and technology were in the hands of the clergy, and since scientific knowledge came to non-religious people, their authority was lost.

Whether it is Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Copernicus, etc., they must be controlled by the church. Da Vinci needs the funding of the church, and Galileo must review the articles published by the church. Later, after the secularization of technology, the foundation of the church is truly was shaken.

Many people think that scientists do not exist to overthrow the church?Those who are rich are "papa". Without financial support, no research can be done. Experiments are very expensive. The richest in the Middle Ages was the church. They paid Da Vinci but did not let him continue to paint in Rome. Instead, conduct optical research.

If you take a closer look at those medieval scientists, including Mr. Isaac Newton, many of them had teaching positions, or they had studied in church schools, and among the priests there is also a secular priest. Galileo was in Florence. Also very supported by these people.

There are many atheists among scientists. These people will not obey the control of the church, and of course they will not make any explanations in favor of the church in order to defend the theocracy.

The Black Death is a disease, how could it be a curse from God because people committed sins?If someone really thinks that way, isn't it the same as those ascetics who beat their backs with a whip?

Can the Black Death be driven away by prayer?Obviously because of various measures in Venice, but then again, who would attend a party without women?
All the aristocratic women in Venice are praying. They have achieved self-isolation, and they have hosted fewer social activities and gatherings. The closure of the city was also achieved without the order of the Governor of Venice.

Plague is divided into bubonic plague and pneumonic plague. The latter can be transmitted through the air. Reducing crowd gathering can help reduce droplet infection.Since the Renaissance, Italy has begun to worship women, and no longer worships Ares, the god of war. This time, Napoleon repented when he merged with Piedmont. The information returned by Gobert went to Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Cairo on September 9. Auras Sebastiani, who had been traveling for four months, returned to Paris with news that Napoleon had invited Carlo Emmanuel, the original King of Piedmont-Sardinia, to rejoin the The Piedmontese throne, but Emmanuel, who lived comfortably in the Second Kingdom of Sardinia, declined the offer.

The Italians hope to incorporate Elba Island and Piedmont into Italy, but they are not strong enough. Architects have built many Italian-style arcades in Paris, but the idea of ​​building a Roman aqueduct in Paris has been put on hold. up.

After all, Italy is still his favorite woman, and will not let "outsiders" take over easily.

It was just a whim for Moreau to be the governor of Piedmont, and he regretted it after he made the decision.

Napoleon certainly liked women, but he had complex feelings about women that even Georgiana, a top student who was good at analysis, could not fully understand.She only knew whether it was the man who conquered the woman, or the woman who conquered the man?
Androgyny is clearly a monster, but he says it is a work of art.

Those gray-blue eyes were only looking at Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, but she wished he could look at her own instead of Mona Lisa's smile.

Maybe Mona Lisa didn't smile to attract anyone's attention, she just hoped to comfort the man who worked so hard to make her happy, just like she smiled at him that day in front of the crown of thorns at Notre Dame Cathedral.

There were a lot of secrets she couldn't tell him from her adventures with Severus, but there was one she could tell him.

She once tricked a wind god named Kur into a bottle, just like the child in the story who let the genie out of the bottle carelessly and tricked it back.

He would definitely not believe it, after all he is a French academician.

As the exiles returned, those foolish fancyheads insisted they had seen magic and wizards with wands who used a little stick for a wand just like her, and the enlightened Parisians certainly wouldn't believe it The "story" they swear by.

The promotion of vaccinia has encountered new obstacles in some areas. This time it is not because of people’s fear, but because some people think that doing so will mix the lymph of cows and humans, which is unethical.

Legend has it that there was a beautiful princess in Phoenicia who was loved by Zeus, but she had always lived in her father's palace.So Zeus used tricks, turned into a bull, and flew the princess on his back into the sky. After flying for a long time, he landed on a continent.

The princess was called Europa, and the continent was named after her.

The Minotaur who was trapped on the island of Crete was a monster born by Minos' wife. Any father who saw such a monster would not want to admit that it was his child, even Minos himself became a monster. The child of Zeus the Bull and Princess Europa.

This is a dream full of myths and epics. Some scientists who think about a certain problem day and night will get enlightenment in the dream, but Napoleoni's dream is more "realistic". After all, he despises empty talkers the most.

She didn't mind continuing to be his inspiration elf, after all, creatures like Veela also belonged to legends, or only appeared in Midsummer Night's Dream.

Salazar Slytherin said don't let veela into school, they are beautiful but monsters.

They can make men crazy, women jealous, cause riots, and bring order out of order.

But there are still so many men, one after another, go into the forest to find them and the mermaid.

If veela is a beast, then a hybrid veela born of a human hybrid is half-human, half-animal.

It seems that men who are with Veela will become unlucky. Not long after Bill and Fleur were together, he was attacked by a werewolf. Not only did he lose his handsome face, but he was also discriminated against. People thought he would attack people like a werewolf.

Lucky or beautiful, which do you want?
Napoleon was very lucky, he was invincible on the battlefield, and bullets could never hit him, but his love life was full of twists and turns.

People always have some regrets in their lives. The fat monk always wanted to be a cardinal, but he died with such regrets in the end.

He didn't choose to be judged like other priests, go to heaven or go to hell, and he didn't choose to continue the journey like Sirius. In the end, he chose to become the ghost of Hogwarts.

"Wang!"

She heard a dog barking, followed the sound and looked over, but saw nothing.

Maybe she was really not far from going crazy, and she actually had hallucinations.

At the same time, she remembered one thing. The last time she met the Priest of Death in St. Luke's Palace, he seemed to be looking for something, like a map or something...

Is this her fate?
