I thought this was pretty neat. People thought comets/meteors were ushering in or out great people.
Like Jesus and the Star of Bethelham. Or ushering great people out like Julius Ceaser. The Romans minted a coin showing a shooting star that was seen right after his death. Or how about Bar Kochba "son of the star" Lead revolt against Rome and was defeated by Rome. Declared by the Jews to be the Messiah.Later became known as the son of deceit. Or the Indian Chief Tesumech the night of his birth a meteor was seen. To them the Great Black Panther moved thru the night sky and was their most prized icon. Another neat story is. Samuel Clemens, more commonly known as Mark Twain was born in Florida, Missouri on Nov. 30, 1835. He held many different jobs during his lifetime. Among them, a reporter, a publisher, and a riverboat pilot. In 1862 Sam began writing for many magazines and newspapers under the pen name of Mark Twain, a name taken from a riverboat term. Twain was a great writer, his three best books were Roughing It, The adventures of Tom Sawyer, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. His books sold many copies. One of his books, A Tramp Abroad sold 25,000 copies. The year he was born, Halley's Comet passed over. Twain vowed that he would not die until he saw the famous comet. Then, just before he died Halley's Comet passed over. He died the next day; April 21st, 1910, at 6:30 p.m. Mark Twain stopped breathing. In the Jewish language of Hebrew their is no word for coindence nor it's concept.................. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
