T 5 - TITANS - CLASH OF THE TITANS

At the same time as I was discovering the ibis,

as described in the previous blog post -

   

    “T 4 -  TITANS – AN IBIS ?”

 

I watched the movie (on YouTube),

 

    “CLASH of the TITANS”   (1981) 

 

which is the Ancient Greek story of Perseus, 

the son of Zeus,

and how he saved Andromeda from the Kraken, 

using the head of Medusa.

 

At the time, I had been wondering what sort of bird 

would have such a long body. And in the movie, 

just such a bird was depicted, it being a vulture, 

which carried Andromeda in the golden cage 

to the man she had previously been betrothed to Caliphos. The bird at VRD 

has a long beak, though, so it could very well be an ibis.

 

I also noticed a prominent island at the mouth of the Victoria River. Medusa lived on 

an island, the “Island of the Dead”, which was in the middle of a river, the River Styx.

 

What if, the Victoria River was the River Styx ?

 

What if, Quoin (Coin ?) Island is the Island of the Dead ?

(Coins were used to pay the ferryman, inorder to go there)

 

What if, the vulture was actually an ibis ?

This would give credence to the old wives’ tale of how a newborn baby is delivered 

to its parents.

 

But, the ibis at VRD is over    100 km    long.

Did some large animals (and humans etc.) just keep growing ?

Did they grow so large, that being territorial, they started to clash against each other 

for available space on the Earth ?

 

Is this possible, and how does this fit in with the history of the Earth ?
