Undergarment clothing with long, broad sleeves was worn under the outer coat. Genghis Khan (1158–1227) oversaw the widespread use of strong silk for this undergarment.

A jade belt hook, wooden cups, a leather horse harness, chariots, weapons, and household utensils were also recovered from the tomb.Chinese archaeologists said the two gilded silver dragons not only testify to the cultural exchange and interaction between the prairie in the north and central China, but also indicate that the owner of the tomb had a high status in Mongol society.

Among the series’ many truncated story lines, the story of Daario Naharis strikes me as one of the most tragic but also most beautiful. I wonder how the young slave boy from Essos—raised to a life of servitude and violence and who, through a twist of fate like no other, found himself lover and killer for the greatest queen who ever lived—ended his days. At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exist countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained.

In the fifth century BC, the Greek historian Herodotus reported in Book IV of his Histories that western Libya was inhabited by monstrous serpents [122] and, in Book III, he states that Arabia was home to many small, winged serpents, [123] [124] which came in a variety of colors and enjoyed the trees that produced frankincense. [123] [122] Herodotus remarks that the serpent's wings were like those of bats [125] and that, unlike vipers, which are found in every land, winged serpents are only found in Arabia. [125] The second-century BC Greek astronomer Hipparchus ( c. 190 BC – c. 120 BC) listed the constellation Draco ("the dragon") as one of forty-six constellations. [126] Hipparchus described the constellation as containing fifteen stars, [127] but the later astronomer Ptolemy ( c. 100 – c. 170 AD) increased this number to thirty-one in his Almagest.

The dragon was, therefore, a symbolic representation of the assimilation of these tribes into a single nation. An interesting hypothesis, it does not, however, explain the appearance of dragons long before any such political associations existed in early Chinese communities. Powers & Associations
