literary compositions which influence our world and yes hashtag influencers [Music] so this is going to be part one at baguan lahat quizayo and we have a true or false our statement goes like this the Mahabharata is the source of myths and legends in Greece and how whatever your answers are reserved let's begin our discussion with the first six literary compositions and here they are we have the Bible or the sacred writings the Quran The Iliad and odyssey the Mahabharata the Canterbury Tales Uncle Tom's Cabin and let's figure out first is the Bible this has become the basis of Christianity originating from Palestine and Greece Bible we actually have 39 for the Old Testament and 27 for the New Testament and it is nice to know the collection of books Bible at Ang sinasabi that there is a supernatural Spirit which covered the writing of these books and take notes 39 books 27 again the Bible became the basis of all Christianity according to Conventional Islamic belief the second book which is the Quran was revealed by the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad in the west Arabian towns Mecca and Medina intervention Gabriela wait Lang Angel Gabriel Divas the Bible yeah so possibly my own relationship in dalawa from the perspective of a castle League it is amazing to know that yes the Quran contains narratives some of which Center on biblical persons such as Ada Moses Jesus Mary Noah and Abraham paren similarities and Bible at angkoran so we're done with the first two books Let's go with the third book High School The Iliad and odyssey The Iliad and odyssey are two epics which served as sources of myths and legends of the country Greece [Music] the Ilia describes the Trojan War and fall of Troy the Odyssey describes the Voyages of odishus on his way back from the Trojan War oi wait as what you can see on screen and the tonatan encounters Achilles diomedes Odysseus agamana Helen of Troy Helen and of course our gods and goddesses we actually have Zeus Aphrodite Demeter Poseidon Hira and then we have Hestia Athena Ares Dionysus Artemis very familiar diode Trend and even now we do have the game such as gods of Olympus Zeus on the loose and such [Music] the fourth book is the Mahabharata the longest epic of the world the same that we say that Hinduism is a very rich religion is very sacred and is very colorful this is written by viazza with 18 parvas or 18 chapters and this is also one of the Sanskrit epics of ancient India in Hinduism because I really love Hinduism I love Indian literature and this is something that I'd like to share to you foreign [Music] and you can see it here actually three heads and this had symbolized the four knowledges or young Vedas 360 degrees it has four arms which carry different symbols of power a goblet a bow a scepter and also The Vedas at the middle blueish others call him as Lord Vishnu and he is called as the preserver his forearms carry different symbols of power a discuss in parang circular a lotus flower a conch shell and a means at the right moment I see Shiva you will know who Shiva is because the moon on his head meron shanka press on Crescent Moon actually left side and then he has a snake as a necklace he is carrying a trident parang siposide on the back foreign [Music] but the truth is Shiva is actually the destroyer of evil among these three masmarami and the go worship kaivishnu and Shiva Peru balika which is Lord Vishnu Lord Vishnu has 10 incarnations or avatars also known as the shabatara on the avatars others are saying 13 avatars pero merending down at 24 but we will stick with the first ten and sinasabe that the 10 avatars are 10 incarnations on Earth to restore order remember is known for being a preserver Earth also corresponds to The evolutionary theory well because living things here on Earth this is actually being recorded by the sages Hindu sages quote unquote they recorded these things thousands of years before the birth of Christ this would be the ten incarnations or avatars of Vishnu so first he appeared on Earth as matsya which is a big fish and this is also the time that the first life forms on Earth came time now the great floods scientific Studies have confirmed that the very first life forms on Earth actually evolved underwater the second avatar of Vishnu was korma a huge tortoise [Music] you might be thinking you better very buying tortoise or your mother Turtles they live both on land and in water this is the image Nathan korma is presented as Half Men half tortoise scientifically the shift from underwater to land is a stage in The evolutionary process as well life forms that dwelt underwater evolve so that they can survive on Landing next step now evolution kurma [Music] then the third incarnation of Vishnu was the war called baraha the boar is an animal that can survive only on land in this Incarnation the life form has adapted to land form water to land then the fourth incarnation of Vishnu is narasima half man and half lion form with this Avatar the ship from animal to human form begins foreign [Music] transitions to a human form completely and develops The Faculty of intelligence matalino understanding then the sex Avatar of bishnu is the forest dweller named he owns weapons like the ax and in ancient tastes the by the sharp Stones were fashioned into different forms of weapons including access thus these Avatar represents the first settlement of human beings in forests and the use of weapons and tools to hunt and kill maybe I would call this as parasurama as the hunter not just the forest dweller [Music] the seventh Incarnation is actually my favorite and he is Rama or Ram the leader he is civilized and owned Superior weapons like bows and arrows the humans during his time are Rama's time could already clear the forests and already live in small communities or Villages Epic which is ramayana Rama is considered as a leader who protects his villages and the people who reside in it and that epic contains the adventures of Lord Ram in pursuit of Sita Mahal the eighth Incarnation is balarama and he is depicted with a flow the plow is an agricultural tool which signifies the beginning of farming and the cultivation of crops human beings are now involved in agricultural activities and they no longer depend on meat and forests for food net that The Agrarian economy has already begun in the world [Music] next cute Ayan the ninth Incarnation is Krishna he is and during this period of evolution people already domesticated animals and owned lifestyle masniki improved narenuating farming when it comes to domesticated animals or those with four legs then the 10th Avatar of Vishnu is called Ki well sabinilla he is yet to manifest in the past Earth scriptures actually say that he will come riding a white horse called the vadafa brandishing a naked sword and blazing like a comet some Legends also claimed that when the world is about to end kalki's horse will stamp the Earth with its right foot Christianity this is the second coming of Christ [Music] as one of the avatars of Vishnu etuyong pagdating [Music] there is actually another Avatar which branched out into another religion from Hinduism actually talks right now if indeed it is an avatar or not is out of this and still Kino connect enlightened one Buddha founder of Buddhism and some scriptures say that Buddha replaces balarama in the original 10 Avatar soci balarama God of agriculture because Buddhism is actually a religion in China they are really asking if indeed Buddha is an avatar of Vishnu then we proceed with the Canterbury Tales and this book depicts the religion and customs of English in early days and this book has 24 Tales categorized into fragments because of a storytelling contest during church pilgrims [Music] I think part one influential literary work was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe basic theme story now Uncle Tom's Cabin [Music] is to expose the sad fate of slaves likewise this became the basis of democracy and this was the best-selling book during the 19th century Casino about slavery however alumni by that in recent times to be called as Uncle Tom is actually an insult during the mid-20th century cassette the critics of the book regarded him as spineless and submissive another trivia man is that this became the inspiration of Jose Rizal para
