LIVE Techno – The United States Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA confirmed that the Total Solar Eclipse (GMT) will take place on April 8, 2024.

This is a phenomenon when the Sun’s rays are blocked by the Moon, the Moon’s shadow will fall on Earth. The area of ​​the Earth that is under the shadow of the Moon’s core (umbra) will experience GMT.

The phenomenon of a total solar eclipse is an event that has had an attraction throughout human history.

The following are GMT myths in various civilizations dating back thousands of years, based on processed data LIVE Techno:

In Ancient Egypt, the Serpent Apep, a spirit of evil and chaos, was said to have swallowed the Sun God Ra, thus requiring an army of other gods to fight Apep and split him open to release Ra and prevent the world from falling into darkness.

The Vikings believed that the eclipse occurred when the Wolf Skoll, who had been chasing the Sun Goddess Sol across the sky, finally caught up with her.

If Skoll manages to swallow Sol and plunge the world into darkness, it signals the start of Ragnarok, the battle between the gods and the end of the world.

In Hindu mythology, the battle between Surya, the Sun, and the demigod Rahu who seeks to gain immortality. In one version of the myth, Rahu is beheaded for his efforts and his head continues to chase Surya, trying to devour him.

In Ancient China, myths tell of a dragon that swallowed the Sun, while myths in South America tell of leopards. In Vietnam, there is a giant frog that swallows the sun, and in Korea, a pack of dogs.

However, not all explanations about eclipses are negative. The Tlingit people of North America believed that the Sun and Moon would have more children, referring to the stars and planets that appear visible during an eclipse but cannot be seen otherwise.

In Africa, the Battammaliba people see an eclipse as the Sun and Moon fighting and take it as a sign to put aside grudges and end the feud.

The Inuit, Sun and Moon are brothers who fight each other. The eclipse means that the Moon, Annigan, has overtaken Malina, the Sun.

Surinamese, the Kalina tribe also believes that the Sun and Moon are siblings who are fighting and an eclipse means the fight becomes fierce, where each one brings down each other.

Tahitians have a similar myth, telling about the Sun and Moon of a pair of lovers who got lost at one point.

Although ancient myths attempted to explain eclipses without the scientific knowledge we have today, superstitions surrounding the phenomenon still exist.

Modern superstitions surrounding eclipses include the ideas that pregnant women should not view the eclipse, food should not be prepared during the eclipse, or that it is unsafe to be outdoors.

Some people still see the eclipse as a sign of the end times, including those who believe it will usher in the Rapture and those who think it will mark the collapse of the simulation we all live in.

However, there is one Total Solar Eclipse (GMT) myth that is still true, namely, don’t look directly at the Sun to see the eclipse, because you risk damaging your eyes.
