On a sunny day, I sat in the yard drinking a cup of coffee, suddenly I saw a magnificent view where the sword appeared near the sun. I immortalize the sword painting shaped by this cloud using my simple hp camera.
what happens in the blue sky appears a sword formed by a cloud painting (ask at heart).
I used to read an article on liputan6.com blog about the 4 most historic swords in the world. is the figure of the sword depicted in the sky one of the four historic swords ...?

The 4 most historic swords in the world are:

1.Zulfiqar

Zulfiqar is a sword belonging to the Prophet Muhammad who was inherited to his cousin as well as his son-in-law Ali.

According to some historic explanations, Prophet Muhammad gave Zulfiqar to Ali during the Battle of Uhud. The prize was given because the Prophet Muhammad was impressed with Ali's ability on the battlefield.

Zulfiqar is a scimitar, which is a curved sword of West Asia or South Asia.

It is said that Ali used the sword in the siege of Medina. At that time, Ali and the Islamic forces built trenches to protect Medina from his more numerous opponents.

There are several different pictures of the famous scimitar. Some parties say the weapon has two parallel bars as if it emphasizes mystical ability and speed.

Some others describe the sword as a separate V-shape bar.

Based on Shi'ite tradition, the sword exists today as belonging to Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi, as part of the famous collection of al-Jafr.

Al-Jafr itself is a Shia book consisting of two leather boxes containing the most important relics of the time of Muhammad and Ali.

Today, the sword is a silent witness of the Prophet Muhammad's life journey and the course of Islamic history.

2.Seven-edged Sword

The Baekje dynasty is an ancient kingdom based in southwest Korea. At its peak in the 4th century, Baekje controlled the colony in China and almost all of the Korean Peninsula.

Together with Goguryeo and Silla, Baekje is one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

In 382, King Geungchogo delivered a tribute to the East Jin and the Seven-eyed Sword was allegedly created as a gift to the king.

The weapon has a length of 74.9 centimeters with 6 branches along the main body with a length of 65.5 centimeters. The sword was made for ceremonial purposes, not for war.

In 1870, the bhiku Shinto named Masamoto Kan found 2 engravings on a Seven-edged Sword. One of them reads "At noon on the 16th day of the seventh month of the fourth year of Taiwa, the sword is made of steel reinforced 100 times, the use of this sword dismissed 100 enemy troops.

There are many statements on the sword. The most controversial is the mention of King Wa who submits to the ruler of Baekje.

The sword became an important historical link that shows the links between East Asian countries of its time. The unique weapon is now stored in the Isonokami Shrine in Nara Prefecture, Japan, and is not on display for the public.

3.Tomoyuki Yamashita

Tomoyuki Yamashita was a general of the Japanese Empire during World War II. The "Macan Malaya" became famous after occupying Malaya and Singapore, which was still a British colony.

After the war, Yamashita is on trial for war crimes related to the Manila Massacre and other crimes in the Philippines and Singapore.

The controversial court led to the death penalty for Yamashita.

The case changed the rules in the United States (US) about the responsibility of war crimes, resulting in a law called the Yamashita Standard.

During his military career, Yamashita had a personal sword made by renowned swordsman Fujiwara Kanenaga between 1640 and 1680. His strands were remade in the 1900s.

On September 2, 1945, the Samurai sword and his troops were handed over by Yamashita to the US. The sword was brought by General MacArthur and donated to the West Point Military Museum which is the place until now.

4.Napoleon's Sword

In 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte became the military and political leader of France through a coup d'etat. Five years later, the French senate appointed him the Emperor of France.

During the early decades of the 19th Century, Napoleon and the French Empire engaged in wars and conflicts with all of Europe's major powers. Victory after victory gave France a dominant position over the continent of Europe.

As the history loops, in 1812, the French began an invasion of Russia and the decision became a turning point for Napoleon.

In 1814, the 6th Coalition invaded France. Napoleon was captured and exiled to the island of Elba. He managed to escape, but eventually died in prison on the island of Saint Helena.

Historians regard Napoleon as a military genius and make an important contribution to the art of warfare.

On the battlefield, Napoleon brought a gun and a war. He has a lot of weapons and artillery. His weapons are second to none and use the finest materials.

In the summer of 2007, a gold-encrusted sword that once belonged to Napoleon was auctioned off in France for US $ 6.4 million. The sword was once used in battle.

In the early 1800s, Napoleon awarded the weapon to his brother as a wedding present.

The sword was then passed on from generation to generation and never escaped from the Bonaparte family until it was declared a treasure of the French in 1978.
