King Kong is large a Singe of Fiction which gave its name to several films.

The world of King Kong

The world of Kong dates from Mézosoïque, the time of the dinosaurs. Although Kong is the king, it would seem that Skull Island, unknown island located at the east of Sumatra, had been controlled formerly by dinosaurs. Megaprimatus kong would then have appeared later, at the time of the quaternary one. but then how devil this island populated of prehistoric small beasts it could have survived? Because of the seisms which shake the island, the thermal chimneys allow the dinosaurs and other monsters to survive. It was only into 1933 that Skull Island was discovered by Carl Denham and her team. At that time, the island threatened to run and it had already lost a good part of its grounds. Result: The predatory ones, concentrates with the accesses of the island, had to be tightened in the center, and their hunting ground was increasingly restricted. Later, kong was brought back to New York, where it found death, carrying with him the memories of its lost island, today under the floods. According to the rumors, Denham and Skull Island would have really existed, and the only vestiges of Skull Island still " in vie" would be… the skeleton of Kong, which would place with the American Natural history museum of Natural history! It should be noted that the team of film of King Kong saw itself refusing several times the access to these files.

Places

The two principal places of the history of King Kong are New York and Skull Island ( the Island of the Cranium , because of its form).

It is the comparison from two points of view (kong--> New York/human--> Skull Island) which is implemented.
