hypothesis was that these paintings by individuals in their homes. The paintings were not a one-off piece, paintings were covered in plaster painted white which new paintings. Were preserved sections of plaster them over twenty layers of paintings. The findings did not include a whole wall fragments but fragments composed by digging a bigger section.

The most famous part is “Star W Saul.” The star is a fresco painting on a cream-colored stucco diameter 1.84 m. The star was painted in earth colors: red, black, gray and yellow. It is a cult star. Star with eight rays. Center circle three star in it. Parts of the fresco were found fallen on the site. [2] Some argue that the painting symbolizes Sun – another deity. Between the star and the right ray structure reminiscent of paintings Chalcolithic structure. The picture includes the head with a hat and a mask, a mythological beast with wings, deer and animals dancing around the shaman. All the scenes related ritual Secretariat star and temples. Execution of the painting is very accurate, and the outer ends of the rays forming a perfect circle. [3]

Around star painted sections not join the whole picture, and they may belong to another layer of the paintings. The left of the star is an animal with wings and front part of an animal with a pair of horns, both large eyes, a long nose and long fangs and red.

The Art of Dance and Movement

The art Of Dance

Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
‘Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

 Dance is a type of art that generally involves movement of the body, often rhythmic and to music. It is performed in many cultures as a form of emotional expression, social interaction, or exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting, and is sometimes used to express ideas or tell a story. Dance may also be regarded as a form of nonverbal communication between humans or other animals, as in bee dances and behaviour patterns such as a mating dances.

Lavandula (common name Lavender)

 

The ancient Greeks called the lavender herb nardus, after the Syrian city of Naarda (possibly the modern town of Dohuk, Iraq). It was also commonly called nard.[30] The species originally grown was L. stoechas.[1]

Lavender was one of the holy herbs used in the biblical Temple to prepare the holy essence, and nard is mentioned in the Song of Solomon (4,14)

nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh and aloes,
and all the finest spices.

During Roman times, flowers were sold for 100 denarii per pound, which was about the same as a month’s wages for a farm laborer, or fifty haircuts from the local barber. Its late Latin name was lavandārius, from lavanda (things to be washed), from the verb lavāre (to wash). The Greeks discovered early on that lavender if crushed and treated correctly would release a relaxing fume when burned.

In medieval times powdered lavender was used as a condiment.

"There are souls, in these noise-tired times, that turn aside into unfrequented lanes, where the deep woods have harbored the fragrances of many a blossoming season. Here the light, filtering through perfect forms, arranges itself in lovely patterns for those who perceive beauty." Roy J.Cook
