Myths
Myth #23: Cell Phones and Storms
Imagine you’re caught in the midst of a blazing lightning
storm, gripping your phone as if it were your salvation. But wait a second! Are
you truly tempting the wrath of the thunder gods by wielding your trusty device?
While it’s true that handling metal objects can increase your chances of a
lightning strike, mobile phones don’t fall under this category.
The actual danger? Being out in the open during a
thunderstorm in the first place. So, if you’re yearning to capture a dramatic
snapshot of Zeus’s electrifying display, just make sure you’re doing it from
the cozy shelter of your abode. Feel free to capture the lightning’s
brilliance, but don’t expect it to perform a lightning-quick headcount!
Ancient Times…
Ancient Roman Life
Temples could also be used as
banks for Ancient Romans
Rome was all about having fun
and making money. What could someone do with all their wealth? They could visit
the temple to keep their finances in order since temples were used throughout Ancient
Rome as banks. The basements were used as vaults and were closely guarded at
all hours.
The priest was responsible for
tracking the amount of money that had been deposited at the bank or loaned to
others. It was good to deposit money in multiple temples, even though it was
safe. This was because fires were very common and could mean someone’s money
would be lost forever.
