Biserica Neagră - The Black Church

 Hmm , Probably I can guess what's going in your mind right now 😶

THE BLACK CHURCH ! Ah, it must be something like ANTI CHRIST or a place to practice the opposite of Christianity , isn't it ? 😇 

THEN , here comes the twist in tale  

AS it's not black because it was a place of practicing negative rituals there are some controversial practical reasons behind it , 

DON'T WORRY FELLAS ! 

HERE I AM GOING TO TELL YOU SOME STORIES … 😉

As some references says '

Author Judit Petki contends that, contrary to a widely held view, the Black Church received its dark appearance not as a result of the fire which affected much of the city in 1689, She bases her view on 21st-century studies, which have found no evidence of fire destruction so it was a misconception .

As per most of the evidences came into the conclusion on supporting rather the scientific fact of the industrial melanism as what happened in Manchester where all the tree trunks became black due to environmental pollution , here is the same case for this church too. 

SO BE SCIENTIFIC ! 👨

NOW COMING INTO SOME STRUCTURAL DETAILS LIKE  - 

Completed during the 15th century (soon after 1476), the church belongs to the final stages of Gothic architecture. The result was a three-nave basilica, all the same height, that is: a "hall church", as was preferred during the 15th and 16th centuries in the German lands, where most of the architects and masons originated. Many parts of the building show similarities with the church in Sebeș and St. Michael Church of Cluj-Napoca, as well as with the Dominikánsky kostol in Košice. The design was itself an inspiration for other religious buildings in the region, and it is possible that a stonemason originally employed on the site later worked on the church in Ghimbav.

Some restoration works also done in later of it. 

THAT'S IT ! 

SHARED A SHORT AND PROBABLY ( VIEWERS' VERDICT 😁 ) INTERSETING SNIPPETS ABOUTTHE BLACK CHURCH. 

GOOD BYE 😊

A Chilled Story

SLC30A9 - A Cold Survivor

When Homo sapiens ventured from Africa into the colder lands of Eurasia, those ancient human encountered other species of ancient humans and began to mix their genes.

Naturally the sharing of DNA also exhibits in their mental and physical characters over the years but in a recently found study shows not only the Neanderthals but also a Denisovan group of people shares a rare gene with modern man which helps them to survive in extreme cold climate.

the Denisovan-originated human gene variant SLC30A9 has passed into a majority of modern populations, and could be to blame for knocking off modern mental equilibrium.

SLC30A9 helps control the transportation of zinc across cell membranes. The gene, coding for the ZnT9 protein, has some real benefits—especially in cold climates, as its role in cellular metabolism helped humans adapt to cold weather. But it has some cons as well. Namely, zinc imbalances may result in neurological abnormalities such as depression, hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and schizophrenia.

The researchers believe that this newfound link to the past may offer a window into understanding the Denisovan DNA that still exists in modern humans. While Neanderthal DNA has been found to impact everything from nose shape to disease susceptibility in a wide variety of people, Denisovan DNA has largely been seen in smaller groups. For example, in one Tibetan population, it has been seen to help humans adapt to life at high altitudes.

The zinc link goes much further. Even though the variant was established in Asia, it spread to European and Native American populations, and is now found in populations across the planet (although, it is found much less frequently in Africa). The research team first noticed that the mechanism behind zinc transport differed between modern human populations in Africa and Asia.

While the variant could potentially provide a metabolic advantage for coping with hostile, cold climates, the adverse impacts have also lived on well beyond those original ancient encounters.

The Chosen One

 I was alone ; laying on pavement

 Nobody stared to me except you 

 I lost my faith on myself

 On my times over the Earth 

 A shadow of fear propelled on me 

 I was defeated.

 No, I can't remember what happened then 

 Rather it was impossible to me.

 What I believed in euthanasia

  It was supposed to be die in harness.

On the seventh day

I was able to open my eyes on reality

All were new to me 

I had lost my all old memoires

Thankfully not the consciousness

Hence I thought May be I was not defeated but at a loss

 But I was imperfect

 To physically, mentally, emotionally.

Those days have passed

 I am on an unexpected life 2.0

 Then what about you?

 Your innate brightness is burnt 

 by the brutality of destiny.

 You had a chance to jailbreak

 You denied the luxurious offers provided by the tempting World 

 I am imperfect, not you 

 I am inspired, senile and insipid

 Will never be able to be so romantic

  as you once had a dream for 

  As I am imperfect.

I became silent, prefer not to talk much

I was humiliated for my inabilities

When I found it as my destiny

You made protest 

I wonder how you prefer a wheelchair guy instead of dashing, handsome one 

You with all of your might

Your ambience, smiley yet sombre personality was tower of strength to me 

Moreover your tolerence over an apparently useless guy makes you perfect.

Do you deserve someone like me my dear?

Fortunately you didn't ask yourself.

Your power to absorb, nurturance once made me stable mentally and physically.

When I condemn myself as a criminal to destroy your life 

You denied me, tried to console me.

Told me - even a meagre life is a miracle then a challenging life is an oyster.

A long ago I promised you as my better half 

Over the years you proved to be best of yourself.

I was thinking at looking the dancing stars...stars of wonder 

Twinkling at the night sky

Your untold stories, your dedications 

Now you are in ultimate rest.

You gave me my second life, I couldn't

But you will be my dear ' Chosen One ' forever

In my heart and soul

Unto the last of me.
