“Papyrus Jumilhac, dating to the Ptolemaic Period (ca. 300 BC), attempts to explain the significance of the leopard skin through a myth that relates the misdeeds of the god Seth. As told in the papyrus, Seth attacked Osiris and then transformed himself into a leopard. The god Anubis defeated Seth and then branded his pelt with spots, hence the robe commemorates the defeat of Seth.”

The jaguar (Panthera onca) is an animal with a prominent association and appearance in the cultures and belief systems of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican societies in the New World, similar to the lion (Panthera leo) and tiger (Panthera tigris) in the Old World.

Archeologists have found a jar in Guatemala, attributed to the Maya of the Late Classic Era (600-900 AD), which depicts a musical instrument that has been reproduced and played. This instrument is astonishing in at least two respects. First, it is the only stringed instrument known in the Americas prior to the introduction of European musical instruments. Second, when played, it produces a sound virtually identical to a jaguar's growl. A sample of this sound is available at the Princeton Art Museum website

The haka (plural haka, in both Māori and English) is a traditional war cry, war dance, or challenge in Māori culture.[1] It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment.

"As might be expected from an instrument that has been around since neolithic times, conch-shell trumpets are found almost everywhere, including inland areas."[2] In Israel/Palestine, "the [Charonia tritonis nodifera] conch trumpet was used at a very early stage in antiquity (from approximately the third millennium B.C.[E.] on)."[

lol...wiki's conch bit has it that movieAlien thought to use conches for the alien ship scene...Ridley thought them a good fit, and used then else ware in sound track too...have opened page with soundtrack playing on youtube...multitasking...they have an eerie sound...
quote
An Indian conch, partially processed via an Echoplex delay, was featured prominently in the score for the film Alien (1979). Initially, composer Jerry Goldsmith used the conch during a scene depicting the extraterrestrial environment of a derelict spaceship. However, director Ridley Scott was so impressed by the eerie effect that he requested its use throughout the rest of the score, including during the main titles.[21]

The dithyramb (Ancient Greek: διθύραμβος, dithyrambos) was an ancient Greek hymn sung and danced in honor of Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility; the term was also used as an epithet of the god:[1] Plato, in The Laws, while discussing various kinds of music mentions "the birth of Dionysos, called, I think, the dithyramb."[2] Plato also remarks in the Republic that dithyrambs are the clearest example of poetry in which the poet is the only speaker.[
... ... ...
Dithyrambs were sung by choirs at Delos, but the literary fragments that have survived are largely Athenian. In Athens, dithyrambs were sung by a Greek chorus of up to fifty men or boys dancing in circular formation, who may or may not have been dressed as Satyrs, probably accompanied by the aulos.

The aulos, which is the double flute, would set up a drone...which could be annoying...brb...'not much happening'...Ohtani sets the Mariners down, on to top of 7th...6-0
quote
The battle scene on the Chigi vase shows an aulos player setting a lyrical rhythm for the hoplite phalanx to advance to. This accompaniment reduced the possibility of an opening in the formation of the blockage; the aulete had a fundamental role in insuring the integrity of the phalanx. In this particular scene, the phalanx approaching from the left is unprepared and momentarily outnumbered four to five. More soldiers can be seen running up to assist them from behind. Even though the front four are lacking a fifth soldier, they have the advantage because the aulete is there to bring the formation back together.

wiki's haka
the peruperu was performed before a battle in order to invoke the god of war and to discourage and frighten the enemy. It involved fierce facial expressions and grimaces, poking out of the tongue, eye bulging, grunts and cries, and the waving of weapons. If the haka was not performed in total unison, this was regarded as a bad omen for the battle.

In Kali temples, the tongue is smeared with the blood of sacrificed animals — a reminder that Mother Nature is — 'red in tooth and claw', giving life as well as taking life. We may domesticate her, transform her into the demure Gauri, clothed and coy, but she will always stick out her tongue and slurp on our blood.

Tlaltecuhtli was commonly depicted by the Aztecs with his/her tongue out as a sign of his/her thirst for human blood - the archetypal Mexica deity that could both nourish life and take it away - and of course many now believe that it is Tlaltecuhtli’s face that is shown in the centre of the Sunstone. What comes from the deity’s mouth, in the great stone monolith discovered only recently in central Mexico City (and now on display in the Templo Mayor Museum - photo above), is more than just a tongue - it is a steady flow of blood, ‘a powerful visual representation of Tlaltecuhtli’s devouring role, and a symbol of the divine link between human sacrifice and providing sustenance [food] to the Aztecs’ gods.’ Learn more from the link below...

I've been long fascinated with the possibility that cultural interchange took place between the indigenous peoples of the New World and the Old. Recently wartching a documentary on the Aztec Sun Stone with the god Tonatiuh sticking its tongue out reminded me of Kali.

The Gorgon, a single monster for Homer, but three daughters of the sea god Phorcys and his sister Ceto, were shown with wings and goofy-looking or grotesque grinning faces with tongues sticking out. Of the three, Stheno (the Mighty), Euryale (the Far Springer), and Medusa (the Queen), only Medusa was mortal. In this Gorgon, the hair is wild and possibly serpentine. Sometimes snakes are wrapped around her waist.

oh...I diverted from the diversion...with the thought that a dithyramb is a drone...by the double flutes...(some replicative archaeology of these flutes on the web...the Greek lyres too...I did that ink of Sappho on a vase with the lyre...didn't understand that the hand behind the lyre plucked the strings too...or what all the things on the lyre were for...for sometime more on this!)...and thinking of the dithyramb drone, Rhianna's song Stay came on the radio...it just has a simple piano 'droning' while she sings...cool song...ethnic dancers often just set up a drone with instruments...flutes drums, conches, rattles, cistrums, etc. and go on for hours and hours...lots of foot stomping...and a kind of monotony...and these old dances have gotten refined, until one has like the whirling dervishes...watching one of their youtube dances I took note of their hand gestures, one being one hand up to the sky, one down to the earth...been there seen that!...Pakal...and Buddha's mudra...Rivera drives in two with a hit...gets back those two runs...and flamenco...to the bottom of the ninth...one gone...

from the wiki
Flamenco has become popular all over the world and is taught in many non-Hispanic countries, especially the United States and Japan. In Japan, there are more flamenco academies than there are in Spain.
