Origins of the pirates of the Caribbean

Symbolic symbols and flag
In various times and countries, ships are mounted on the mast with various symbols indicating their country or other attributes-flag, triangle flag, flag, and military flag.
Piracy is no exception in this regard. They raised flags on their ship arms in various times. Various flags are available, and they are not strictly defined, so they cannot be clearly classified. We cannot say exactly what flag the Pirates of the Caribbean are running on their own mast, And what flag the pirates of the Mediterranean are running on. Anyone who wants to determine which of the following flags of a pirate will be totally disappointed (as he knows.
For example, it is generally believed that the so-called "Happy Roger"-that is, the flag with the bow head and skeleton-is the "firm" flag of the pirates of the Caribbean or those who acted in other maritime areas in the Middle Ages. However, the latest scientific works question this fact, which seems to have been fully confirmed. Now, starting from the ancient literature, it has been confirmed that the pirates of qiliqiya raised their ship's arms to scare the enemy and painted the flag of the arms-the symbol of death. In this way, we found that the "Happy Roger", which has been sung more than once, has far-reaching origins.
However, this symbol is not the only identifier of the pirates of all ages and nations. For example, Rome's pirates are happy to use the rod of the god of mochuuli to decorate their sails. In the symbols of the Multi-God religion in that era, this is a pin wound around two snakes. The pin is a marker of Rome's god of trade, moqiuli. He will also bless the ghost, scammers and thieves. As a result, Rome's pirates did not choose moqiu as their asylum God for no reason. But while doing so, they did not forget the other gods-as the pirate icon, there were the owl of Athena, the e of Zeus, and the deer of Diana.
During the 11th century, Danish pirates decorated their flag with embroidery products. The embroidered pattern was a black crow with wings and beam. On the master of the flagship "mora" of William the only one, there was a cross-painted seal, while on the stern column there was an angel image that blew the horn.
Generally, the Norman's flag draws a dragon, and the pattern used on a merchant ship is a lamb. On both ships, the flag is placed at the beginning of the ship from the right.
However, the most famous symbol of the pirate is the so-called "Happy Roger"-the pirates climbed up to their mast before attacking the enemy ship and painted a black flag of their heads and skeleton. The history of this flag is long and complex, and there are many fuzzy points, but it can be roughly summarized as follows.
The historian asserted that the White Ghost headers wrapped in red began in the 19th century, the famous walwari pirate barbarbarosa II. The flag began to rise on his ship.
When it comes to a later era, the British armed ships, following the commands of the king, started from 1694, except for the national flag before the battle, you must also raise a red flag on your own mast. It seems to be warning attackers: If they resist, they will not be forgiven.
However, as time went by, the red pirate flag began to more and more frequently let the black pirate flag-"Happy Roger ". The source of this name is not clear. Some people think that it appeared from the end of the 17th to the beginning of the 18th century, and it was nothing else, but it was the French saying of the French term "Joli Ronge.
The second speculation is that the name originated from the eastern waters and said the title "Ali Raja (Alibaba rajia)-the king of the sea ". The British read these two words as "Olly Roger" (OLE Roger ).
This argument comes from the word "Roger", the beggars. The dictionary published in 1725 contains the phrase "old Roger," (old Roger), which means the devil.
As we have seen, in the beginning, the pirate staff rose to a red flag or a black flag without any pattern. Some people think that the refer head and skeleton were used as a specialized symbol of the pirate on the flag of the French pirate irmannel Wei ON 1700. In addition to the skeleton, the flag also draws an hourglass for timing. It also has a clear meaning: It implies to attackers that they still have time to consider their situation and make a decision to surrender when the hourglass lights are in the hourglass.
There is also a flag that draws a skeleton, one holding the hourglass in its hand, and the other holding a heart that is still bleeding and broken down by a spear.
It is said that some pirates use a white flag with a black skull and a skeleton, and there is a question below the pattern: "For God and freedom ".
The pirates also often raise two sides of the flag-"Happy Roger" first, and then raise the red flag. The first flag seems to be inviting the other party to voluntarily surrender. If the invitation is rejected, a red flag will fly on the master of the pirate ship. It proves that the enemy will not be forgiven.
But What conclusions should we draw from all the above? There is no doubt that there is only one conclusion: No matter what flag the pirates raise on their ship-black, white, or red flag, they are always the same death flag.
