Pandavas And Kauravas (Historical Story)
In the dynasty of Peru, there was Bharata and in Bharata's family, there was king kuru. Shantanu was born in the lineage of Kuru. Ganganandan Bhishma was born from Shantanu. He had two more younger brothers - Chitrangad and Vichitravinya. He was bom from the womb of Satyavati from Shantanu. After the departure of Shantanu, Bhishma remained unmarried and followed the kingdom of his brother Vichitravirya: Chitrangad was killed in his childhood by the people of Gandharva caste named Chitrangad. Then after defeating the opposition in Bhishma Sangram, he brought back the two daughters of Kashiraj - Ambika and Ambalika. Both of them became the wives of Vichitravirya. After some time, King Vichitravirya became a resident of heaven due to Rajayakshma. Then King Dhritarashtra was born from Ambika's womb and Pandu from Ambalika's womb. Dhritarashtra gave birth to hundred sons from Gandhari's womb, of whom Duryodhana was the eldest and Pandu had five sons like Yudhishtar, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, Sahadeva etc. Dhritarashtra was blind from birth, so Pandu replaced him. Dhritarashtra was made the king, due to this Dhritarashtra always got angry on his blindness and started feeling hatred towards Pandu. By conquering the whole of India, Pandu extended the boundaries of the Kuru kingdom to the country of the Yavanas. Once King Pandu went to the forest for hunting with his two wives - Kunti and Madri. There he saw a mating pair of antelope. Pandu immediately wounded that deer with his arrow. After some time when the antelope died. Then Pandu felt remorse. Then King Pandu said - I will stay in this forest after giving up all the lusts, you people go back to Hastinapur". After listening to his words, both the queens said in sorrow, "Nath! We cannot survive even for a moment without you. Please keep us with you in the forest." Pandu accepted their request and allowed them to stay with him in the forest. One day King Pandu was traveling with Madri in the forest on the banks of river Sarita. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the wind was blowing cool, soft and fragrant. A sudden gust of wind blew away Madri's clothes. This made Pandu's mind fickle and they indulged in sexual intercourse. After many years, they had five sons. After a few days Later he died due to sadness, anxiety and illness. Madri committed sati with him but Kunti returned to Hastinapura to bring up the sons. On being told, everyone accepted the Pandavas as the sons of Pandu and welcomed them. When Kunti was not married, at the same time Karna was born from her womb by King Surya. But fearing public shame, Kunti gave Karna a Locked in a box and thrown into the river Ganges. Karna was flowing in the Ganges when Maharaj Dhritarashtra's charioteer Adhirath and his wife Radha saw him and Adopted him and started taking care of him. From a young age, Karna was more interested in the art of war than driving a chariot like his father Adhiratha. Karna and his father Adhiratha met Acharya Drona who was one of the best masters of the art of warfare at that time. Dronacharya used to give education to the Kuru princes at that time. He refused to teach Karna because Karna was a charioteer's son and Drona used to teach only Kshatriyas. After Dronacharya's disagreement, Karna contacted Parashurama who used to teach only Brahmins. Calling himself a Brahmin, Karna requested Parshuram for education. Parshuram accepted Karna's request and trained Kama in the art of warfare and archery like himself. Thus Karna became a very diligent and accomplished disciple of Parashurama. Karna lived in the shelter of Duryodhana. The fire of enmity between the Kauravas and the Pandavas ignited due to the treachery of Daiyoga and Shakuni. Duryodhana was a man of very bad intelligence. He tried to kill the Pandavas many times in his childhood at the behest of Shakuni. When Yudhishthira, who was superior to him in virtues, was made the crown prince in his youth, Shakuni tried to set the Pandavas on fire by keeping them in the house made of Laksh, but with the help of Vidura, the five Pandavas along with their mother escaped from that burning house. Got out From there, going to Ekachakra Nagri, he started living in the house of a Brahmin in the guise of a sage. Then after killing the evil and sinful named Bak, on the advice of Vyas ji, he went to Panchal-state, where Draupadi's swayamvar was about to take place. In the kingdom of Panchal, the five Pandavas got Draupadi as their wife when Arjuna's target-piercing skills got fishy. Before Draupadi's Swayamvara, except Vidura, all the Pandavas were considered dead, and for this reason, Dhritarashtra made Duryodhana the crown prince at the behest of Shakuni. After Draupadi Swayamvar, Duryodhana etc. came to know about the survival of Pandavas: The Pandavas asked for their kingdom from the Kauravas, but to avoid the danger of civil war, Yudhishthira received Khandavan as half of the kingdom given by the Kauravas in ruins. Pandukumar Arjun burnt Khandawan with Shri Krishna. There Arjuna and Krishna ji defeated all the gods in the war He got Lord Krishna-like charioteer in the battle. At the behest of Indra, Vishwakarma and Maya together built Khandawan into a city as grand as Indrapuri, which was named Indraprastha. All the Pandavas were expert in all kinds of learning. Pandavas conquered all directions and Yudhishthira started ruling. He performed the ritual of Rajasuya Yajna full of abundant gold money. His magnificence became unbearable for Duryodhana. He took Shakuni along with him at the behest of his brother Dushasana and son of glory Karna, indulged in gambling in the gaming assembly, won Yudhishthira, his brothers, Draupadi and their kingdom laughingly through deceit and gambling. Duryodhana insulted Draupadi a lot in the Kuru Rajya Sabha, tried to disrobe her. Shri Krishna saved her shame, after that Draupadi was about to curse everyone but Gandhari came and stopped this from happening. At the same time, being defeated in gambling, Yudhishthira went to the forest with his brothers. There he spent twelve years as per his vow. He used to feed majority of Brahmins everyday in the forest as before. There he was accompanied by his wife Draupadi and priest Dhaumyaji. After passing the twelfth year, he went to Virat Nagar. There Yudhishthira started living in the form of a Brahmin named 'Kank', remaining unknown to most. Bhimsen became the cook. Arjun had named himself 'Brihannala Pandava wife Draupadi started living in Ranivaas as Sairandhri, Similarly, Nakul-Sahdev also changed their names. Bhimsen killed Kichak who wanted to take Draupadi's chastity in the night. After that, the Kauravas started taking away Virat's cows, then they were defeated by Arjuna. At that time, Kauravas recognised the Pandavas, Shri Krishna's sister Subhadra gave birth to a son named Abhimanyu from Arjuna, King Virat married him with his daughter Uttara Dharmaraj Yudhishthira being the master of seven Akshauhini army got ready to fight with Kauravas. First Lord Krishna went to the most angry Duryodhana as a messenger. He said to King Duryodhana, the master of the eleven Akshauhini army Rajan! You give half the kingdom to Yudhishthira or offer him only five villages: Otherwise fight with them." After listening to Shri Krishna, Duryodhana said - 'I will not even give him land equal to the tip of a needle, Yes, I will definitely fight with them. Then Vidur took him to his home and worshiped and honored Shri Krishna. After that he returned to Yudhishthir and said-Maharaj! You fight with Duryodhana! The armies of Yudhishthira and Duryodhana went to the field of Kurukshetra. Seeing the teachers like Grandfather Bhishma and Acharya Drona in his opposition, Arjuna stopped fighting, then Lord Krishna said to him "Parthal Bhishma etc. teachers are not worthy of mourning." Follow Kshatradharma, taking the shelter of Karmayoga, being equal in success and failure of work." On being told by Shri Krishna, Arjun got into the war and started fighting. He blew the conch. Bhishma became the first commander in Duryodhana's army. The commander of the Pandavas. There was Shikhandi. A huge war broke out between these two. In that war, the warriors of Kaurava side including Bhishma started attacking the soldiers of Pandava-side and Shikhandi etc. started aiming their arrows at the brave Kaurava-soldiers of Pandava-side. Kauravas and Pandavas That battle of the army looked like a Devasur-fight. Bhishma fought for ten days and killed most of the Pandava army with his arrows On the tenth day, Arjuna rained arrows heavily on Veervar Bhishma. Here, with the inspiration of Drupada, Shikhandi also shot a barrage of arrows at Bhishma like a cloud that rains water. Elephant riders, horse riders, charioteers and footmen on both sides were killed by arrows from each other. On the 10th day of the battle, Arjuna made Shikhandi sit in front of his chariot. Seeing Shikhandi ahead, Bhishma gave up his bow. After giving up his weapons, Arjuna put him to sleep on the bed of arrows. They started spending time meditating and praising Lord Vishnu while waiting for Uttarayan. When Duryodhana was distraught with grief after Bhishma fell on the arrow-bed, then Acharya Drona assumed the responsibility of the army. On the other hand, Dhrishtadyumna became the commander-in- chief of the army of the Pandavas, rejoicing. There was a fierce battle between both of them. King Virat and Drupad etc. drowned in the Drona-like ocean. At that time Drona used to live like Kaal. In the meantime, a voice came in his ears that 'Ashwatthama has been killed. On hearing this, Acharya Drona gave up his weapons. At such a time, he fell on the earth after being hurt by the arrows of Dhrishtadyumna. Dron was very tough. He was killed on the fifth day after destroying all the Kshatriyas Duryodhana again became restless with grief. At that time Karna became the captain of his army: Arjuna got the supremacy of the Pandava army. Karna and Arjuna had a great battle with different types of weapons and weapons, which was going to beat even the Devasur fight. In the fight between Karna and Arjuna, Karna killed many heroes of the enemy side with his arrows; Although the battle was becoming stalemated, Karna got bogged down when one of his chariot wheels sank into the earth (due to the curse of Mother Earth). He also finds himself unable to use divine weapons, as cursed by his guru Parashurama. Karna then descends to remove the wheel of his chariot and requests Arjuna to follow the rules of war and stop firing arrows at him for some time. Then Shri Krishna tells Arjuna that Karna has no right to talk about war rules and religion now, while he himself did not follow any war rules and religion at the time of Abhimanyu's slaughter. He further said that where was his dharma then when he called divine-born Draupadi a prostitute in front of the entire Kuru royal assembly. Where did his religion go in the gaming hall? That's why now he has no right to talk about any religion or war rules and he told Arjuna that Kamna is helpless now (the curse of Brahmin has come to fruition) so he should kill him. Shri Krishna says that if Arjuna does not kill Karna at this crucial juncture, then Pandavas will probably never be able to kill him and this war will never be won. Then, Arjuna killed Karna using a weapon. After Karna's body fell on the ground, King Shalya became the commander-in-chief of the Kaurava army, but he could last only half a day in the war. By noon, King Yudhishthira killed him. Almost the entire army of Duryodhana was killed in the war Ultimately he had a fight with Bhimsen. He attacked Bhimsen after killing many soldiers on the Pandava side. At that time, Duryodhana's other younger brothers were also killed by Bhimsen while striking with the mace. On that eighteenth day of the Mahabharata war, in the night time, the mighty Ashwatthama put the sleeping Akshauhini army of Pandavas to sleep forever. He did not even leave alive the five sons of Draupadi, his Panchaladeshi brothers and Dhrishtadyumna. Draupadi started crying after being childless. Then Arjuna defeated Ashwathama with the weapon of sink. Seeing him being killed, Draupadi herself saved his life by persuasion. Ashwatthama Despite this, the evil Ashwathama used a weapon on Uttara to destroy her womb. But Shri Krishna saved him. The same unborn child of Uttara later became known as King Parikshit. Kritavarma, Kripacharya and Ashwathama- these three Kaurava side heroes survived that battle. On the other hand the five Pandavas, Satyaki and Lord Krishna - only these seven could survive; No one else was left. At that time, the cries of orphaned women were spreading everywhere. Yudhishthira consoled him by going with Bhimsen etc. brothers and after cremating all the heroes killed in the battlefield, donated jalanjali de money etc. for them. After that, Yudhishthira went to Shantanunandan Bhishma, who was sitting on the Sharashaya in Kurukshetra, and heard from him all the peace-giving religion, Rajdharma (Apaddharma), Mokshadharma and Dandharma. Then he sat on the throne. After this, that Shatrumardan king performed Ashwamedha Yagya and donated a lot of money to the Brahmins in it. Thereafter, after hearing the news of the destruction of the Yadavas by mutual war due to the curse received from the mouth of Arjuna due to pestilence, Yudhishthira made Parikshit sit on the king's seat and himself went away with his brothers after making a great departure. When Yudhishthira sat on the throne. Then Dhritarashtra entered the Vanaprastha-Ashram from Grihastha-Ashram and went to the forest. (Or he went to the forest while passing from one hermitage of sages to another) He was accompanied by goddesses Gandhari and Pritha (Kunti). Vidur ji got burnt by the fire. In this way, Shri removed the burden of the earth and killed the demons etc. by making the Pandavas instruments for the establishment of religion and destruction of unrighteousness. After that, the Yadav clan, who increased the burden of the role, was also killed by the pestle on the pretext of the curse of the Brahmins. Aniruddha's son Vajra was anointed as the king. The imperishable Sri Hari is the goal of the meditative men. When he passed away, the sea left his personal abode and drowned the rest of Dwarkapuri in its waters. Arjun cremated the dead Yadavs and offered water for them and donated money etc. To the queens of Lord Krishna, who were earlier Apsaras. Take them to Hastinapur. On the way, the cowherds carrying sticks snatched them all, disrespecting Arjuna. Due to this, there was a lot of grief in Arjun's heart. Then on being consoled by Maharishi Vyas, he was convinced that I had strength only because of being close to Shri Krishna. Coming to Hastinapur, he along with his brothers requested all this news to King Yudhishthira, who used to follow the subjects at that time. They said - 'Brother! He is the bow, he is the arrow, he is the chariot and he is the horse, but without Shri Krishna everything is destroyed like the donation given to Ashrotriya. Hearing this, Dharmaraj Yudhishthira installed Parikshit on the kingdom. After this, thinking about the impermanence of the world, the wise king took Draupadi and his brothers along with him on the path of great departure towards the Himalayas. Draupadi, Sahadeva, Nakula, Arjuna and Bhimsen fell one by one in that great path. The king became sombre due to this.

The mummified remains of King Thutmose IV (Menkheperure)

New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty

The king is now at rest in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

The mummy of Thutmose IV was found within the mummy cache of KV35 in 1898 by Victor Loret. The body of the king was moved in antiquity by ancient priests for safety reasons. The king was originally buried within his own tomb (KV43), which was discovered by Howard Carter in 1903.



Grafton Elliot Smith (1871-1937), upon examining the body of the king, concluded that the king was very ill at the time of death and had seemingly suffered with an illness for a while, sadly describing Thutmose IV as "extremely emaciated".



Many decades later in 2012, the Imperial College London examined the body of the late king, and along with knowledge of some of Thutmose's family dying young (such as his great-grandson Tutankhamun and his two still born daughters), the surgeon examining the king theorized that Thutmose and other members of the family may have possibly suffered with Temporal lobe epilepsy.

Some scholars think that this idea could explain the king's famous Dream Stela, where he describes the Sphinx of Giza as talking to him, as those with Temporal lobe epilepsy do suffer with visions. This idea however is a theory at the present and is not an ultimate conclusion. And it must be noted that the reason for the dream stela could have been propagandist, or simply Thutmose certifying his status as a divine ruler...such as Hatshepsut's writing of her divine birth at Deir el-Bahari. Or... it could have been something the king truly believed occurred to him, without the modern idea that he had an illness causing such a thing.

The king's body measures at 1.64m (5 ft 4.8 in), however, due to his disembodied feet, he was likely taller in life. He was relatively young, with Smith putting his age at death at approximately 28, although more modern scholars suggest mid 30s, perhaps. He has both ears pierced and what appears to be a smile with teeth showing. Most notable is his hair, which is entirely natural, long and parted in the middle, the colour is reddish brown. #history #somee #sme #infowars #cent

I tasted it in Malaysia :
Rose apples are light and crunchy with an initially sweet, fruity flavor followed by floral notes of rose.
The Rose Apple (Syzygium jambos) is a type of apple found in 1762. It is related to the Guava, is native to the East Indies and Malaya. The Rose Apple is cultivated and naturalized in many parts of India, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Later, it was introduced to Jamaica and became well distributed in the West Indies and at low elevations, from Southern Mexico to [Peru]. In 1825, eight young trees were taken from Rio de Janeiro to Hawaii by ship. In 1853, a United States warship delivered avocado and rose apple trees from Central America to the Island of Hilo. The rose apple became further naturalized on the islands of Kauai, Molokai, Oahu, Maui and Hawaii.

Evo Morales Barred From Peru as Foreign Interests Blamed for Deadly Protests

Peru has barred Bolivia’s former president Evo Morales from entering the country, as it accuses foreign interests of stirring up deadly protests in support of the imprisoned former president Pedro Castillo.

Peru has seen weeks of violent unrest following last month’s removal from power of Castillo, who was arrested on 7 December after attempting to dissolve congress in an attempt to avert his impeachment trial.

On Tuesday, 17 more protesters were killed by security forces, bring the number of dead to almost 40.

Morales has been vocal in his support of Castillo, another leftist who came to prominence through campesino organisations, and has denounced his arrest as illegal, both on Twitter and in trips to Peru.

In a statement issued by Peru’s new government, led by President Dina Boluarte, Morales and eight other Bolivians were on Monday accused of carrying out political activities in the country, in violation of immigration laws.

Morales, however, has cast the events in in Peru as the latest in a string of “coups” by rightwing forces across the continent, including Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s recent corruption conviction in Argentina, and his own ouster in 2019, when he resigned after a contested election, mass opposition protests and the army’s suggestion he do so.

Some leftwing governments, including Bolivia, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia, have also criticised the Castillo’s arrest and called for his reinstatement.

Morales responded to the travel ban on Twitter, saying it was meant to distract from “the human rights abuses being committed against our Peruvian brothers”.

This is not the first time that Morales has drawn controversy for his activities in southern Peru, which he and his former ministers made a habit of visiting after Castillo came to power in July 2021.

Having some coffee while perusing Somee and Mac warming my feet up. Not a bad way to start off Sunday morning. Have a great day today everyone !

K1-mini the ATM for cryptocurrencies of Salvadoran origin, its creator is a native of El Salvador, he designed from the base all the software of the device, he focused on bitcoin, taking advantage of the use and massification that is being promoted in that country. It is a small device with which people can make transactions in their local currency and convert them into bitcoin. In the country they already have 29 ATM points and are expanding to other countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Colombia. It is certainly a very bold undertaking.
