St. Peter's Baldachin (Italian: Baldacchino di San Pietro, L'Altare di Bernini) is a large Baroque sculpted bronze canopy, technically called a ciborium or baldachin, over the high altar of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, the city-state and papal enclave surrounded by Rome, Italy. The baldachin is at the center of the crossing, and directly under the dome of the basilica.
Other curiosities of the Vatican
Regarding this picture the Chinese revived some sort of ancient dragon using the DNA of an egg they found somewhere.
About 3000 years ago, the Etruscans settled in a region of Central Italy known as Etruria and ruled the Mediterranean region before Rome's rise.
The Etruscans did not bury their dead inside the walls of their cities. Instead, they built a large cemetery on a hillside slope outside of their ancient city in the area that later became the city of Rome.
Vanth, an Etruscan death daemon and servant of Charun (Greek Cheiron), lord of the Underworld, was often depicted on urns that held the ashes of cremated bodies. Vanth was usually depicted with wings and had bearded snakes around her arms.
