Djinns

I have a Moroccan neighbour and once, he told me about Djinns. I found the subject interesting so I now write some words about it.

The Djinns, according to the Koran are invisible creatures made with fire by Allah. They live with humans on Earth (but they rather stay in remoted places), they eat, have a social life (family etc...) and like humans, they can be muslim, christian, jewish, atheistic, whatever.
More, there are two kinds of Djinns: the good and the bad ones, linked to the way they act with humans. Indeed, those creatures can adopt many shapes and appearances and, of course, they can influence people decisions or acts.

The belief in Djinns is connected with many superstitions. For example, in the past and even nowadays in some countries, people believed that when a person had an epileptic crisis, he was possessed by a Djinn. So, the madness (and generally physical or mental disorders) is sometimes linked to a Djinn's intervention and then, people must use invocations to cure them or just to prevent them from these negatives effects. This aspect leads us to the wizard's part. Indeed, if some of them are healers, others link up with mad Djinns to put curses. Finally, this belief also affects people's life insofar as they observe some rules in daily life. For example, they avoid as much as possible stagnant waters as Djinns seem to appreciate it (as the Hammam Djinn). In literature, Djinns are the equivalent of genies, which depending on the story, can be mad or good. The reference is of course the "Mille et une nuits", known all over the world.

Parallel World in Iceland

Iceland is a country who still has a strong link with the past, at least the olders and those who live closed to the nature. Thus, they keep on propagating the old faith. keep on propagating the old faiths.the society has made few advances on believes or industry...
There is always a link between the inhabitants and the nature. Of course, it isn't all the population who kept this link mainly there are the olders or those who continue to propagate the old faiths.
In Iceland the population can see the elfs, the gnomes, the fairies and also ghosts even if the people are little numerous because the society evolues and theses people are considered as madman. In this country they considered that there are parallel worlds with these creatures.
The most formidable,......... Iceland is the only country in the world who has had a minister of the elfiques affairs.
When the population want built roads or make others works. Mediums come on the ground to prevent cretures otherwise the gnomes act to surround the situation to survive because they live here. Lots facts were postponed to prove their existences.

I am sure that it is possible but I am very sad to see that people destroy and throw back all wich is not explicable or without answer of the science. In France if somebody says that he sees creatures he can be considered as mad, and be rejected of the society which is very open minded compared to Iceland where people want to preserve theirs believes.
The magic desepeares, even if we are in parallel worlds we act on the others.

The end of the mystery concerning the Easter of island

The second hypothesis that I know is that the population disappeared because of their statues, which, as we can see, are huge and kick out, so that the population had some trouble moving them to the entrance of the island.
They finally managed to do it by using wooden logs (which facilitated movements) but this solution led them to their self-destruction as almost all the trees had been cut. Knowing how important are the trees for the ecosystem (animals and so humans etc...), their disparition brought disastrous consequences which finally led to the population's death by lack of food. Even if aware of the situation, they couldn't do anything, it was too late.

The third hypothesis involves the colons. When they discovered Easter island, they came with ships full of rats which invaded the island and caused a disaster: they decimated the vegetation and its productions and transmited diseases to the population who finally dissappeared by lack of food and antidotes againts new diseases.

We can see many similarities between the various hypothesises. But according to you, what is the most probable? Sometimes It is good to forget science who wants to be so rational.
