Gish sought to interpret his dream; Spoke to his mother: "My mother, during my night I became strong and moved about the heroes; And from the starry heaven a meteor of Anu fell upon me: I lifted it and it grew heavy upon me, I became weak and I could not endure its weight any longer. The land of Erech gathered about it. The heroes kissed its feet. It was raised up before me. They stood me up. I bore it and carried it to thee." The mother of Gish, who knew all things, spoke to Gish: "Some one, O Gish, who like you was born in a field... you will see him and you will rejoice... You will lead him to me." —The Epic of Gilgamesh What is the meaning of Gilgamesh’s dream, according to his mother? He is going to be a great hero and a leader to his people. He will meet someone, whom he will introduce to his mother. He needs to beware of meteors, because one will soon destroy him. The gods are angry at him, and he must take steps to regain their favor.

honestly you should get that checked out because it really isn't normal

after the french-indian war.

the iconic cartoon that you are talking about is probably a man standing on top of a country with his legs spread wide. 

this cartoon suggests that europeans are powerful enough to subdue an entire continent. this was a satirical image that was drawn during the time of the colonization of the british empire in africa.

this image was inspired by the plans of the british empire to create telegraph lines all over africa promoting the further spread of its colonies through faster communication. the picture depicts the colonial mentality of the british empire in general as well as the struggle of africans to claim their own land. hope this !
