Welcome to Gaia! ::

HI I am new here and would to tell you all I know about that awsome show called Avatar the Last Airbender. But first you should know about me so here we go. When I was about 5 years old my dad told me about avatar He said it was an old novel from japan ( funny how the show is from america lol ) He told me there was a guy who could turn water to ice and rock to sand and fire to lighting. whell that all I really remembered then i wathing t.v. and there it was it sounded like I heard of it so I started getting hooked on avatar and 1 day we were looking in the attic i stumbled apoun that very book my Dad read to me when I was 5

Is the show based on the book?

Hey my mom told me that too! Except that I'm Nepali. She said it was also based on a book. Most of it by knowledge comes from Hindu stories. I mean for example, the warriors of Kyoshi is kinda of similar about the Story of Krishna and how he saved a village from a snake (called nag in Nepali). I mean I definately know that Katara's hairstyle is similar to Tibetians and Zuko is a Brahman meaning his Hindu. And Aang is a buddhist. There's a lot of Asian culture. Avatar is a hindu word. It describes the many states of Vishnu. And stuff.
