One of the most famous magic mirror is a mirror "Golden Angels", made in 1743 by the famous Parisian master Louis Arpo.Over the long history of its existence, moving from one owner to another, this rarity thing has caused the death of at least 38 people.
antique dealers turn to lovers of antiquity with a warning to those in any case did not buy the missing 13 years ago with the police warehouse mirror with the inscription on the frame, "Louis Arpo, 1743".
This strange warning appeared in the French press recently - in 1997.Five hundred years ago, in the midst of the struggle with witches, it may be, there would have been appropriate, but in the late twentieth century - perhaps the most rationalistic century, to hear such a statement was quite unexpected....
"Mirror stored in a warehouse in the police since it became the cause of death of two people in 1910 - told the story of the mysterious head of the Paris antique dealers association Emil Frene. - Nowadays, however, someone entered the warehouse andstole a number of things, including the mirror. We think that the thief will try to sell it. So try to distribute as widely as possible information on the mirror, so that potential buyers have expressed caution and immediately contacted the authorities. "
Made in 1743 by the famous Parisian master Louis Arpo, mirror shrouded in mystical stories.And not in vain!After the mysterious identity of the author is not credible: Louis Arpo suspected of involvement in secret societies, in the classroom black magic ... But at the same time, he was a great master of the mirror of art.
In the upper part of the frame of the notorious mirrors were placed two gold angels with trumpets, during which it received the name "Golden Angels".Some historical facts do not give a skeptical to a mysterious magic mirror.Here is one such story.
In the second half of the XVIII century mirror Arpo Louis was in Paris at the house of a wealthy banker Kirakos Gandzaketsi.September 30, 1769 the businessman went to celebrate the birthday of his sister close to the city of Paris, but has not reached the destination.He found an empty carriage in the forest.
In 1853, the second victim was the subject of an antique 23-year-old Laura Noel: A young woman died from a brain haemorrhage.Later, under strange circumstances have died another 37 people.
At first glance, the sudden death had nothing to do.Yet information about these incidents to unite the country detail - in different years all were the owners of the very old mirror.Investigators found no explanation for this fact.
At the time the mechanism "mirror" killings were differing assumptions.Some believed that the mirror Louis Arpo provoke bleeding in the brain, reflecting the rays of light in a certain way.Others said that this contributes to the implicit or negative energy accumulated mirror.And some even said that it is a magic mirror - funnel slimming soul to the underworld.There is no consensus on this matter as there was no and no.
Some ancient scholars, by the way, believed that the mirror, like a magnet, the ability to attract and keep on their surfaces poisonous fumes.In particular, the satisfaction of a well-known medieval mystic and physician Paracelsus (1493-1541).
It is this property of mirrors, some researchers explain the popular belief, does not recommend the approach to a mirror during ailments.It refers to the fact that not only the disease, but even with a bad mood human skin and exhaled air release toxic substances.Here they are-and remain on the surface of the glass.And then, evaporating, can strike the health of those who would use such a "poisonous" mirror.
Perhaps so, but the cause of numerous deaths from the mirror Arpo likely was still not "chemical precipitate."He is known to be easily washed off with water.It is doubtful that the two and a half centuries since the mirror never once washed.Another thing, if reflective glass could collect, store and transmit any information.That is, if it has a memory ...
And maybe the reason black magic antique mirrors in the symptoms of chronic poisoning?After all, before they were coated with a thin layer of silver is not, as is done now, and amalgam, which is composed of 70 percent tin and 30 percent mercury.
general poisoning of the body with chronic exposure to mercury vapor and its compounds, slightly above normal for a few months or years called mercury poisoning.Pathology manifests itself, depending on the organism and the nervous system.Symptoms: fatigue, drowsiness, weakness, headache, dizziness, apathy and emotional instability - lack of confidence, shyness, irritability.
As observed: impaired memory and self-control, reduced attention and mental abilities.Gradually evolving the growing tips of the fingers trembling with waves - "Mercurial tremor", first finger, then the legs and the whole body (lips, eyelids), diarrhea, decreased sense of smell (apparently, because of damage to enzymes having sulfhydryl group), skin sensitivity,taste.Enhanced sweating, increased thyroid, there are disturbances of heart rhythm, decreased blood pressure.
Mikromerkurializm - Chronic poisoning occurs when exposed to minute amounts of mercury within 5-10 years.So consider, with antique mirrors trifled with!
