Quoted By:
what's with bells in history? some say the ringing had a magical element to it
also insane bell lore is this giant Great Bell of Dhammazedi
it was said to have letters on it that no nation on earth understood, the biggest bell ever made
they tried to hide it by sinking it and even today divers can't find it due to there being so many shipwrecks in the area and the water being too muddy
different cultures have different recipes for bell metal, the oldest recipes all used precious metals. Hindus keep the oldest recipes for bell metal, IMHO, with eight metals.
also you crack or break or destroy a bell for esoteric reasons as well as exoteric. For example, breaking an enemy's sword is considered part of a triumph of military victory, even today Russia has bent the barrels of the M1 Abrams tanks downward with a huge weight and displayed them in Moscow. This tradition is thousands of years old.
