THE WISH TO FLY LIKE BIRDS
In the 1950s archaeologists discovered a deposit in the area of the Zagros Mountains. The deposit contained buried wing bones from several large birds - vultures, eagles and bustards. The wing bones were buried in correct anatomical positions and had remains of certain slice marks. These marks indicate that the wings had been carefully cut off from the birds and that the feathers were carefully removed from the wings. The deposit is dated to around 10,000 years ago and are probably one of the earliest evidence of shaman-like rituals and our ancestor’s attempt to fly like birds. The site is known among archaeologist as: Zawi Chemi Shanidar. (From my paper, University of Copenhagen).
PRIMARY FLIGHT FEATHERS
I make a small jump diagonally upwards and turn myself around and spread my arms to the side. Then I fly. It is not difficult to fly, but I do not control the speed yet. Sometimes I fly much too fast and I have to force myself down to the earth. (Certainly NOT from my university paper!)
