Chapter 1532 The Rose of Wind

In addition to hot spring spa treatments, Germany also has a form of entertainment - illusion.

Georgiana felt that it was actually a stage performance that should be called magic, even though the magician who performed the magic had no magic.

They have to use their whims to create some illusions that the audience would not have thought of at the time and that would seem easy to explain. This is how they make a living. If anyone leaks their secrets, everyone will know how to do this illusion.

No one will pay for tickets to watch their performances.

Georgiana really had no interest in opera, but there was more than just one kind 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 research results about the altar also came out. The golden thread that looked like a magic circle was not a magic circle, but a direction sign called a compass rose.

This pattern often appears on maps and nautical charts, used to indicate directions, and is widely used in navigation, exploration, military, etc. The earliest compasses used by humans were magnetic and used the earth's magnetic field. In the nautical charts of the Middle Ages,

There are no longitude and latitude lines on the sky, but only some straight lines that radiate outward from the center in an orderly manner. These lines are also called compass lines. The various wind gods in ancient Greek legends are carefully depicted on these lines.

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

The first person in history to clearly propose the theory of longitude and latitude was Ptolemy of ancient Greece. He was the first to measure the prime meridian. Later, monks from the Tang Dynasty in the 8th century also measured the prime meridian. The name "meridian" comes from

It is said that the Ziwu Road outside Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was a large surveying and mapping project at that time, covering almost the entire territory of the Tang Empire. It was intended to create a more accurate calendar for the emperor to predict solar eclipses and avoid people being affected by the "Tengu Eclipse" solar eclipse.

Total eclipse, partial solar eclipse and celestial phenomena make people panic.

In the 16th century, Britain first had a world map with a latitude and longitude network. At that time, the zero longitude was in the Azores. In 1676, it was changed to London. It was initially located at St. Paul's Cathedral and later at Greenwich Observatory.

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

The Dutch in the same century were known as "Sea Coachmen", and half of Europe's shipping capacity was in this country. Therefore, the zero-degree longitude on the Dutch navigation chart is the north-south axis of the Westerbirche in Amsterdam.

To the west of Spain, the papal meridian dividing Portugal is the zero-degree longitude. The zero-degree longitude used on the Italian map 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, before the European continent competed for this territory.

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 one in the Paris Observatory, but it is not gold-plated, but pure copper. In the 21st

On the streets of Paris in the 19th century, if someone looked down, they would find some brass plates marked "arago". The straight line connecting those brass plates was the Rose Line of Paris. This is the mark left by the Prime Meridian in Paris.

Regarding the statement that the church restrains people’s thoughts, what does the church restrain?

Napoleon Bonaparte believed that science and technology were in the hands of the priests. Since scientific knowledge spread to people outside of religion, their authority has been lost.

Whether it is Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Copernicus, etc., they must be controlled by the church. Da Vinci needs the church's funding, and Galileo's articles must be reviewed by the church. Later, after the secularization of science and technology, the foundation of the church was truly established.

was shaken.

Many people think that scientists don’t exist to overthrow the church? Those with money are the “papas”. Without financial support, no research can be done. Experiments are very expensive. The richest people in the Middle Ages were the churches. They paid

Leonardo da Vinci did not allow him to continue painting in Rome, but to conduct optical research.

If you look carefully at those medieval scientists, including Mr. Isaac Newton, many of them had teaching positions or had studied in church schools, and there was also a kind of lay priest among the priests. Galileo Galilei in Florence

They are 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 that are beneficial to the church in order to defend the divine right.

The Black Death is a disease. How could it be a curse sent by God because of people's sins? If someone really thought that, wouldn't they be like those ascetics who beat themselves on the back with whips?

Can the Black Death be driven away by praying? It’s obviously because of Venice’s various measures, but then again, who would attend a party without women?

All the aristocratic women in Venice are praying, and they have implemented self-isolation. Similarly, they have hosted fewer social events and parties, and the city has been closed down without the need for the Doge of Venice to issue an order to close the city.

Plague is divided into bubonic plague and pneumonic plague. The latter can be spread through the air. Reducing crowd gatherings can help reduce droplet infection. Since the Renaissance, women have been worshiped in Italy, and Ares, the god of war, is no longer worshiped. This time

After annexing Piedmont, Napoleon regretted it as expected. Gobert reported that on September 5, Olas Sebastiani, who had been traveling to Jerusalem, Alexandria, Cairo and other places for four months, returned to Paris.

, he brought back the news that Napoleon invited the original king of Piedmont-Sardinia, Carlo Emmanuel, to return to the throne of Piedmont, but Emmanuel lived a stable life in the second kingdom of Sardinia and refused.

accepted this proposal.

The Italians hoped to annex Elba and Piedmont to Italy, but they were not tough enough. Architects built many Italian-style arcades in Paris, but the plan to build a Roman aqueduct in Paris was shelved.

Already.

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

Letting Moreau become governor of Piedmont was just a whim, and he regretted it after he made the decision.

Napoleon definitely liked women, but he had very complicated emotions towards women. Even a top student like Georgiana, who was good at analysis, could not fully understand. She only knew whether men conquered women, or women conquered men?

The hermaphrodite is clearly a monster, but he calls it a work of art.

Those gray-blue eyes originally only looked at Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, but she hoped that he would stop looking at Mona Lisa's smile and instead look at her own smile.

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

There were many secrets she couldn't tell him, gained from her adventures with Severus, but there was one secret she could tell him.

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

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

As the exiles returned, the enlightened Parisians would not believe it, as the foolish, dreamy fools insisted that they had seen magic and wand-wielding wizards who, like her, used a stick as a wand.

The "story" they swear to tell.

The promotion of cowpox has encountered new obstacles in some areas. This time it is not people's fear, but some people think that doing so is mixing cow and human lymph together, which is unethical.

Legend has it that there was a beautiful princess in Phoenicia. She was loved by Zeus, but she had been living in her father's palace. So Zeus used a trick and turned into a bull, humped the princess on his back and flew into the sky.

After a long time, we 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 to 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 revelations in their dreams. It's just that Napoleoni's dream is more "realistic". After all, what he looks down on most are empty talkers.

She doesn't mind continuing to be the elf he inspired. After all, creatures like Veela only exist in legends, or may only appear in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Salazar Slytherin said that Veela should not be allowed into the school. Although they are beautiful, they are still monsters.

They can drive men crazy, women jealous, cause riots and bring disorder.

But there are still so many men, one after another, entering the forest to look for them and the mermaid.

If Veela is a beast, the hybrid Veela born from mixing with humans is half human and half beast.

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

Luck or beauty, which one do you want?

Napoleon was lucky, he was invincible on the battlefield, and bullets could never hit him, but his love life was full of twists and turns.

There will always be some regrets in life. The fat monk always wanted to be a cardinal, but in the end he died with such regrets.

He did not choose to accept the trial like other priests and go to heaven or hell, nor did he choose to continue the journey like Sirius. In the end, he chose to become a ghost in Hogwarts.

"Woof!"

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

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

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

Is this her destiny?
