Burma legend Legend Vanasti uskusid paljud rahvad, et loomadel on imetegevad võimed ja et nad suudavad peletada eemale halbu vaime ja kurje jõude. Kaua aega tagasi, enne kui Kristus maa peal kõndis ja isegi enne Buddha aega elasid Kagu- Aasias, Birmas, (praegu Myanmar) inimesed, keda kutsuti khmeerideks. Khmeerid uskusid loomade imevõimesse peletada eemale kurja. Lughi nõlvadel asus sel ajal Lao-Tsuni tempel, kus elasid khmeeridega koos sada kuldsilmset, pika valge karvaga templikassi. Loomad olid khmeeri preestrite hingede hoidjateks ja kaitsjateks kui need lahkusid elust ja ootasid uuestisündi, et kõrgemate preestrina puhtust ja täiust saavutada. Templis elas kuldse habemega Suur Laama, kõikide preestrite juht. Tema elu oli pühendatud tervenisti Tsun-Kyan-Kse kummardamisele. Tsun-Kyan-Kse oli kuldsetes riietes, kiirgavsiniste silmadega jumalanna, kes juhtis preestrite hingede kulgemist peale seda kui nood lahkusid ühest elust, e...
History exam *Stonehenge - is a monument located in England. It is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world and is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. The surrounding circular, earth bank and ditch, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Stonehenge was produced by a culture with no written language. Many aspects of Stonehenge remain subject to debate.

AMBER AND RUSSET - LATE COLOUR CHANGE GENES Copyright 2014, Sarah Hartwell The ancestors of the domestic cat were nondescript black/brown striped tabbies. Over the centuries, mutation produced a wide array of colours based on 2 different pigments. Eumelanin gives the blacks, browns and blues while phaeomelanin gives the reds, fawns and creams. A few other genes give further variations on those colours such silvers, colourpoints and solids/selfs. Mutations continue to occur and unexpected colours also turn up due to inbreeding where recessive genes, hidden for generations, start showing up. AMBER AND LIGHT AMBER During the 1990s, some purebred Norwegian Forest Cats in Sweden produced chocolate/lilac and cinnamon/fawn offspring.
