Shango (Ṣàngó) is the Orisha of fire, thunder, lightning, virility, dance, drumming, strength and justice in the Yoruba religion. Yoruba tradition also honours him as a royal ancestor, the third Alaafin of the Oyo Empire before his deification, and he is known for his double-headed battle-axe, the oṣé. Two narratives describe him in Yorubaland: in one he casts a "thunderstone" to earth, creating thunder and lightning, against anyone who offends him; in the other he breathes fire and smoke through his nostrils. Though feared for his destructive powers, he is highly revered for his bravery, fairness and tremendous power. His three wives are named as Oshun, Ọba and Ọya. His necklaces are made of red and white beads in groupings of four or six, his sacred numbers, and stones created by lightning strikes are kept at sacred sites. Yoruba people taken to the Americas in the Atlantic slave trade carried his worship with them: he is Xangô in Candomblé, Changó in Santería, Ogou Chango in Haiti and "Siete Rayos" in Palo.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
