I like the Saturn's moon, Titan. Beautiful name...
Many planets are named after the name of gods and goddesses, like Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus……these planets’ characteristic reminded people about the ancient gods. This habit starts from the Renaissance, when people discovered a more complete solar system. Even modern invention also named after the gods’ name. Like ‘Thor’ the tank, was named by the name of the thunder god of Norse. The main characters, who symbolize the lucky stuff of the latest Olympic Game, were also named Athena and Phatos.
The name ‘Gaia’ often used to symbolize the mother earth, or something else related. While ‘Titan’ was a word means gigantic, Titanic was named after it.
Some festival is a part of ancient myths and art too; every festival has its own unique story. Most of them are legend, which involved gods or legendary creature.
There are also many unsolved mysteries on earth, which related with myths and legends. In 20 century, it’s the age of mysteries. Most of the unsolved problems are discovered by that time. For example, the Bermuda Triangle and one of the seven wonders, Pyramid. Wonders are the most popular topic for archeologist and scientist, Pyramid is the most mysterious stuff I’ve ever heard. The chemical reaction which occurs inside the Pyramid and the mummification are what scientist cared the most.
There maybe some unique civilization which hasn’t been discovered, until now. Some places are less population or less visitors, may have a hidden civilization. Like the Sahara Desert, the South Pole, the Pacific Ocean, and Greenland. Some scientist said that the earth is hollow, and there is an advance city in it.
The art and legend won’t disappear, because they are crystallizing of human’s thought.
