Sleipnir: Horse of odin, 8-legged horse.

Nordic mythology has the creation of Sleipnir, one of the strangest horses that have been part of stories and legends. Odin himself rode Sleipnir, attributing supernatural qualities to his physical form and enhancing his remarkable origin. Over the centuries, many historians who have engraved his name by battles and conquests or by leading towns or armies have had In common. He had the company of a horse that he has protected and carried his rider on his back to achieve his goals. It is not surprising that this symbiosis has been used countless times in literary and cinematographic fiction.   And in the same way, it happens in what respects mythology.   In the case of Nordic culture and its myths and legends, one of its main figures is none other than Odin considered its main god who also encompasses the domain in different aspects such as war and death but is also considered the wiser since he has the gift of prophecy, magic, and victory.   His throne, from where he can contemplate the nine worlds, his spear Gungnir, and his horse Sleipnir are essential elements in the mythology of the god of war, which the prophecy indicated would guide both gods and men to avoid the end of the world or also called Ragnarok.   From the mythologizing of Odin and as one of his main most faithful companions, the role of his horse stands out, an equine with a supernatural physical form that is part of Norse mythology and legends starring his rider.   Origin and birth of Odin’s horse.   Originating from a time when the Gods feared the destruction of Asgard’s walls after a battle. To find a solution, trust a man who promised to rebuild it in 16 months. But his request – the sun, the moon, and Freya – seemed disproportionate to Odin and his people. Loki suggested shortening the terms, confident the stranger would fail. The man remained, insisting only on receiving the aid of his horse, which would assist him in carrying the stones for building. As the months passed, the builder met his deadlines, alarming the gods who feared losing the sun, moon, and Freya. When blame had already focused on Loki, he devised a plan to avert the catastrophe. In a critical twist, he transformed into a mare to divert Svaðilfari, ensuring he abandoned his duties. The furious man reverted to his true form, that of a giant foe of the gods, consumed by anger. After what occurred, all sorts of agreements were broken, and Thor delivered a hammer blow from Mjolnir to the head of the impostor as payment. Once the deception had been resolved, Loki returned in her mare form, revealing her pregnancy. She gave birth to a gray horse with eight legs, Sleipnir. Loki presented Sleipnir to Odin, assuring him that no horse would match its speed. God of shamans He will take you by sea, land, and air, and also to the Land of the Dead and back here.” A promise that Loki, despite his usual tricks, fulfilled. The myth of the horse Sleipnir As a faithful and eternal companion of Odin, in Scandinavian mythology, the figure of the horse Sleipnir has had a great role, both in the Poetic Edda (compiled in the 13th century) and in the Prose Edda. Sleipnir is described as one of the greatest and swiftest horses, capable of carrying his rider to the Realm of Death. This gray equine also symbolizes the eight winds that blow from its cardinal points. Although according to other sources the number of its legs was six, most indicated that there were eight.   Sleipnir, Odin’s spirit helper, joins him on travels through nine worlds, embodying a supernatural and mythical presence. Shamans consider Odin the ‘God of the shamans,’ so they call his horse the ‘horse par excellence of the shamans.’ Depicted in Norse mythological poems, Sleipnir’s extraordinary traits and physical prowess distinguish him from ordinary horses. He helped Odin in all his journeys until the end of his days. Sleipnir’s exceptional qualities make him the ideal companion for Odin, solidifying his status as the ultimate horse in Norse mythology.

Triumph’s Missing Link.

 Celebrating the 120th anniversary of the British manufacturer, the brand’s biggest collector has revealed the existence of documents that prove the originality of this model a century ago. Triumph’s Missing Link: Dick Shepherd, the world’s largest collector of Triumph motorcycles, refused to be left out of the celebration of 120 years of the British brand. For this reason, he made a surprising discovery: finding and restoring a prototype from 1901 that rewrote history books. Someone has set a production start date for an advertisement and some press reviews. This unit is nothing more than an experiment to study the interests of potential customers. Developed from a standard bike and engine from Belgian manufacturer Minerva, the bike finally cleared all doubts. Prototype Shepherd noted that the prototype came to him via a recently departed friend, expressing excitement over its unique features. The person had a letter from Triumph, dated 1937, detailing the origins of the unit,” said Dick. “The fact that the engine number matches Minerva’s records for its first collaboration with Triumph in 1901 gives the prototype undoubted historical significance,” commented the collector. Dick also stated: “As a lifelong enthusiast of the history and achievements of this incredible brand, discovering this true fossil and restoring it to the same condition in which it was first displayed in 1901 gave me immense satisfaction. “. They unveiled the 1901 prototype at the recent British Motorcycle Live Show before moving it to the Hinkley Triumph factory. A new room designed to commemorate the brand’s 120th anniversary displays this historic motorcycle. The one-millionth Triumph produced since the company’s modern era began in 1983 accompanied her there. A Tiger 900 Rally Pro emblazoned to commemorate the moment.

To ride a Motorcycle Safely so that the integrity of the pilot won´t be threatened. We can avoid any type of accident by paying close attention while riding a motorcycle, but we must always be aware of other things. Here are 10 tips from Harley Davison so you can ride your motorcycle more safely: 1. Helmet use. This element will protect you in the event of a fall or crash. Keep in mind that in addition to protecting you from possible injuries, it reduces wind noise. Wearing a helmet can save your life. 2. Motorcycle in optimal conditions. Make sure your motorcycle is in good condition before you hit the streets and/or highways. Check tires, lights, clutch, mirrors, and brakes. There should be no problem driving. We recommend that you take your motorcycle to a mechanic for a complete service. 3. Attention. When you are about to start at a traffic light, even if it is green, ALWAYS check that no one is going to cross it, the probability of colliding with another vehicle “in motion” puts your life at risk. 4. Brake control. When approaching an intersection, slow down so you can stop quickly if necessary. You have to look for other vehicles or pedestrians that could represent danger, if you know where they come from you will be able to direct your attention to the road without any problem. 5. Go and be seen. Check and verify that your lights are in perfect working order, especially when driving at night or in places where light conditions are zero. 6. Distance. When you drive between cars, try to keep a safe distance so that the cars can see you and allow you to react to unforeseen maneuvers by them and thus avoid a possible crash, a slight brush with another car is capable of causing a dangerous fall. 7. Not so fast. In traffic and if the cars are stopped, try to drive slowly (maximum 20 km/h), to be able to brake in time in case a door opens (another of the “classic” accidents in the city). 8. Notify. Mirrors, turn signals, and changes of direction were invented for a reason, ALWAYS use them when you make a change of direction as well as to check out of the corner of your eye that there is no vehicle parallel to or slightly behind your motorcycle. 9. Respect. You do not drive alone, there are pedestrians, vehicles, animals, and objects, you must pay attention to those that may suddenly appear in your way, as is the case of streets with parked vehicles, and avoid any run-over. 10. Responsibility. NEVER drive under the influence of alcohol, always do it calmly and very seriously. All up to you…   | Visit Us | Ride a Motorcycle Safely

The last Inca emperor’s tomb was found

The Machay hacienda, nestled deep in the subtropical jungle of the Chugchilán parish in Cotopaxi, is a remote place that preserves the ruins of the last stronghold of the Incas of Quito. There, historian Tamara Estupiñán discovered archaeological remains believed to be the last dwelling place of the Inca Atahualpa. Indeed, the tomb of the last Inca emperor was found in the Malqui Machay sector in Sigchos canton. Since then, this hacienda has achieved notoriety inside and outside of Ecuador. An area of three hectares contains most of the remains, which consist of very important ruins built in stone and with unique characteristics. In the place are the vestiges of a monument of late imperial design, which has an impressive entrance alley, through which you can access different rectangular rooms. Aqueducts and canals surround a trapezoidal plaza, with everything located around it. “One researcher explains that, according to their hypothesis, Rumiñahui likely guarded Atahualpa or his mummified body at the last stronghold.” They are monumental ruins with great symbolic meaning because it would have been like the small house or abode, as the people say. Chroniclers, from the last Capac Inca, from Tahuantinsuyo ”, added Estupiñán.   Malqui Machay in Quichua means “burial of the body of the ayllu’s progenitor.” A building loaded with symbolism that would not reach the category of fortress or temple. The History Getting to this magical and historical place will take you 12 hours of travel, round trip, from Quito. However, the effort is worth it to live an unforgettable adventure full of picturesque landscapes typical of the Andean range. In Sigchos, explore Central Park and the historic mother church, brimming with captivating history and cultural significance. Explore and capture stunning landscapes at Quilotoa volcano, Zarapullo Natural Viewpoint, Toachi River Canyon, and Blue Hills. All this can be achieved with the motorcycle Hot & Cold Guided tour.   On July 16, 2004, Jaime Pástor Morris, archaeologist Tamara L. Bray and Tamara Estupiñán. An Ecuadorian fellow of the French Institute of Andean Studies, arrived at the Malqui hacienda (Inca mummy in Kichwa). They found few Inca archaeological remains, but it was the tip of the iceberg. In 2010, Estupiñán organized a second expedition. On June 26, a few kilometers from the hacienda, they discovered an Inca archaeological site on a hill called Machay. Estupiñán has dedicated a decade to unraveling the actions of the Incas from Quito in the war against Cusco. The Place Close to the Cotopaxi volcano and next to the royal road or Qhuapac Ñan, a royal Tambo was built in Callo that served to house the Inca elite and their hosts. Despite ongoing investigations, Estupiñán argues that it is an Inca monument of late imperial design with a marvelous entrance alley. According to her, access several rectangular rooms, built with cut stone, surrounding a trapezoidal plaza. Aqueducts and canals encircle the site, one leading to a small waterfall, forming what appears to be an ‘Inca bath’. They believe Malqui-Machay, the name given to the monument, to be the burial site of the ayllu’s progenitor. However, Estupiñán believes that more than answers, the finding raises questions. And she adds: “Let Archeology help to decipher this enigma.” Francisco Moncayo, a 38-year-old agro-zootechnical engineer. One of the owners of the Machay farm describes it as a tranquil place surrounded by rivers and mountains. This is where banana, lime, orange, lemon trees grow and a variety of crops and ornamental plants.
