Topic: draco kites
Some interesting trivia....This seemed like one of the more farfetched topics discussed by the C's:
Q: Then, that makes me think that the significant thing that we
are looking for is a convergence of the blood lines... These
lines are symbolized by the god figures, the children of Odin,
and what we are looking for is a place where these lines
converge?
A: Yes.
Q: Well, what characteristics might an individual have that is a
product of this convergence?
A: Fair skinned and cleft chin.
[...]We aren't saying that all with these features are of that
blood line!
Q: So, you can have the bloodline and look quite different?
A: Yes.
Q: How many persons on the planet contain these
'convergent' bloodlines?
A: 7367. Kites were used for cross communication between
bloodline members.
Q: Kites?! What do kites have to do with it? What the heck...
you guys are driving me NUTS! Do you mean kites as in
paper and string or kites as in the bird?
A: Yes, paper wood and string.
Q: (C) Like smoke signals? (L) Well, how is flying a kite...
(C) Well, if it has a certain symbol on it...
A: And shape.
(C) This is implying that such people know they have
the bloodline and keep in touch with each other? (L) Or, is
this something for the future when those of the bloodline wake
up?
A: Yes.
Q: All of the above? Or just the last part?
A: Latter.
Q: So, we need to go fly a kite... (C) With a particular shape
and symbol...
A: Research kites.
(A) Well, I
don't understand these kites. They don't fly by themselves,
they are on a string. You cannot see them at great distances..
only a few miles... what is the point of communicating this way
with someone who is only a few miles away?
A: Kites can be released, or left behind too!
After researching for a while, I came across some interesting stuff:
Dutch, Portuguese and English merchants began routine voyages to the
Far East in the late 16th century. These journeys afforded an
opportunity for sailors to learn construction for Chinese plane
kites. But this is not the first introduction of the kite to Europe.
Windsocks, whose structures consist of a hoop with a hollow tube of
fabric sewn to it fixed to the top of a pole, have been flown in
Europe since about 105 AD. When in use, the windsock was held up into
the wind or above the head of a horseman. They were usually of animal
shapes with gaping mouths. These windsocks came into Europe during
the time of the Mongol invasions. The slithering and undulating
windsocks had a number of military uses including signaling, helping
archers judge the strength and direction of wind, and serving as a
standard for ceremonial purposes. Illustrations in the Psalterium
Aureum (9th Century), and the Bayeux tapestry show the windsock in
use as a large dragon, or Draco. With a smoking torch in the mouth of
the windsock (some say placed there for effect, others say placed
there for lift), one can see how a fire breathing war Draco worked
its way into the myth and popular literature of the period.
And this:
The draco Standard was originally developed by the cavalry peoples of the steppes, such as the Sarmatians and the Alans, but also by the Parthians and the Sassanid Persians. It may have been used primarily to determine the wind-direction for the horse archers. Arrian described it as a long sleeve, 'made by sewing pieces of dyed material together'. This sleeve/tube hung limp when the rider was at rest, but on the move it flew like a serpent and whistled in the wind. The hollow head, in the form of a toothed dragon, was formed from metal and the wind passing through it would extend the cloth tube tail attached to the neck of the head. The draco was also used by the Dacians (or their allies) and some are shown on Trajan's Column.
Dracos continued in use in the Caucasus and Georgia, while in the West the Franks under Charlemagne may have adopted them again. This may show continuity, or else Charlemagne's attempts to eminate the Roman Army. We have a miniature from the late 9th-c. Psalterium Aureum (MS St. Gall. Stift-Bib. 22, fol. 140, illustrating Psalm 59), which shows a draco in a formation of heavy cavalry.
We also see it used at the battle of Hastings in 1066 AD, where it is carried by Harold Godwinson's retainer at the moment of his death.More pictures and info at this link:

So the C's were correct about there being a link between bloodlines and kites. Who could have guessed? The shape of the kite mattered - it was a draco shape (signifying reptilian connection?).
The windsock would inflate with the wind and hiss when ridden into battle. Its military use, according to the above article, was to allow determination of wind direction and speed for archers. But I think it could have been used as a form of communication as well...depending on how the dracobearer moved the windsock, it could have communicated military orders, much like trumpets and drums were used in the american revolution and civil war to communicate orders.
These were brought into Europe by the Sarmatians (something to research) and various bloodline-associated armies used them. You can trace bloodlines this way through the centuries...for example, Charlemagne used them, so did King Arthur according to an early parchment drawing (see the link above).
The use of standards (flags on a staff, predecessor of windsocks) can be traced back to egyptian times, for example to the four standard (staff/flag) bearers depicted on the Narmer plates:
These four standard bearers represent the four sons of Horus sent to protect Osiris's body parts and "smite his enemies". You can see how this fits with the draco bloodlines' affinity for battle, and how the Templars (another manifestation of the bloodline) spent much effort procuring and protecting hidden knowledge and technology. The C's said that Osiris being cut up represents the crippling of our DNA, so I think protectors of Osiris would also involve some protection of the bloodline.
Interestingly, the same Narmer Plate depicts a giant humanoid trailing the standard bearers and another giant figure beating to death an enemy. The giant is interpreted as Osiris, but maybe it just as well represent the giant Nephilim of ancient times, which brings up the question as to whether the draco bloodlines have Nephilim genetics...

The giant is shown in another egyptian artifact, the Naram stele:

The subject of these standard bearers, known as the Followers of Horus, bring up some interesting articles:
The "Followers of Horus" is the name given to a set of standards carried in front of the King. Perhaps "fetish" is a better word, for these were not merely rallying points in battle-they possessed magical power. We can see them on the Narmer Palette and the Scorpion Macehead, as well as ivory labels. We can trace them into dynastic times, when they were also known as "The Gods Who Follow Horus." Horus stands for the King. So who are these followers?
However, who were the real followers of Horus?
The answer to that question can only come from the answer to the question ... Who was Osiris?
There has to be the suggestion that Osiris was not a being of this world for as we will learn in a different section, the people who worshipped Osiris, knew very well that he came from the constellation of Orion, not from our Earth!
Does this mean that Osiris was a visitor from outer space who in some way caused humanity to come into being? Was in effect he the one who genetically engineered mankind? ... and were the followers of Horus the beings he created full of the knowledge that he bestowed upon them? Were they a master race which was able to effect great things upon this earth in a time so distant that its echoes descend to us in the droplets of its essence in the form of the civilization of Ancient Egypt.
What I am saying is that the Ancient Egyptians themselves had a mere glimmer of the knowledge of their illustrious ancestors who were the beings for whom such edifices as the pyramids and the sphinx were built!
In essence the Followers of Horus could have been the descendants of the beings genetically engineered by Osiris and filled with the knowledge that he bestowed upon them. Such structures as the Great Pyramid were not built by people with copper chisels and rollers for wheels as conventional Egyptologists would have us believe!
