Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hello Sabine sent me this link, thanks Sabine. It¹s about a wedding in Ladakh. It¹s all pictures, like a slideshow. So check it out for beautiful images from a wedding in Ladakh. I noticed things like hand made clothing and the artwork. These things interest me because it gives a window to the very look of truly indigenous items and lifestyles. This reminds of ancient gatherings that took place all over the world, including modern Europe and modern America. I imagine what my own ancestors had in common with this gather...the wool clothing and ancestral styles... Just change a few items, like skin color and patterns in the design, and otherwise you¹ve got a Celtic village in France 2500 years ago... The horses, simple housing, the clothes, designs, village life, customs, etc. Notice the overt and heavy use of one type of blue rock in the head dressings, something somewhat valuable- turquoise. So in ancient times (and still today in some places) people would invade another nation just to pillage something like that, for business, for money. I could never understand this mentality myself. I cannot condone raiding and killing for one¹s business pursuits. Notice the Swastika on the first slide. This hopefully doesn¹t shock anyone on this list by now. The Swastika is heavily used in India and the nations around it, as part of the ancient sacred symbolism as we¹ve been discussing. That is why some say ³Hitler stole it from India², but in fact, that¹s not true, as the symbol is also found on pottery and other such items from Europe through archaeological digs there- and it¹s found on the pottery and jewelry and other items of all the peoples of ancient Europe pretty much.
