@Parisianaes1 Décadent indeed. Surely after the fell of Rome some gothics chefs were vomiting on silver plates and pretending 'mmmh, tastes better than traditionnel garum'

[Cthulhu News Network @CthulhuNetwork]

@Parisianaes1 Looks like a kebab, he eats like he received no education. There is no joy to see decadence in the ruins of a dying culture.

Shahr-e-Gholghola or the 'City of Screams'.

On route to pursuing the the last ruler of the Khwarazmian Empire this city was besieged by Genghis Khan; when his grandson was killed by an arrow in the siege the khan ordered that all living things in the city to be killed. Henceforth it remained depopulated and in ruins.

@GunterFehlinger Incroyable tous ces nains géostratégiques qui aboient pour qu'on les prenne au sérieux. 'Nous sommes l'UE, respectez nous ' Nous ne sommes plus en 2005.

@JohannesAchill Only a 'subtile' way of insulting the New Gospel. Pretty sure hé did not even read it. Only trolling.

He is not from our time. Stuck in the early 2000s, this man claims to be a time traveler from the year 2345. For the past 18 years, he has been wandering the streets, quietly observing the world around him—forests, alleys, and empty streets—leaving a trail of chalk and numbers wherever he goes. Everywhere he goes, blackboards appear. Trees become his canvas. Pavements turn into math puzzles. Complex equations, formulas, and calculations that would baffle even the brightest minds fill his wake. Ordinary people pass by without understanding, seeing only a madman scribbling on the walls but he is solving problems that humanity won’t even face for centuries. Some say he’s cursed to remain in the past. Others believe he is here for a reason a warning, a lesson, or maybe a secret lost to time. What is certain is this: his mind operates on a level no one from our era can comprehend, and the world he left behind is only just beginning to catch up. Dare to look closely. You might see a glimpse of the future in the chaos of his calculations

The Odyssey Trailer but Historically Accurate Armor (Bronze Age) by demonflyingfox on YT (same creator who did the early AI Balenciaga videos).

This... convinces me that AI will definitely change the game from a post production / fan edit POV. I also do think the historically accurate armor slaps.

More than 2,000 years ago, someone carved the Longyou Caves into solid siltstone in Zhejiang, China 🇨🇳. There are 24 massive underground chambers, some over 30 meters deep, all cut with the same precise, parallel chisel marks. No inscriptions, no written records, and no tools ever found inside the caves explaining who built them or why.

What makes it stranger is the scale. Estimates suggest hundreds of thousands to possibly over a million cubic meters of stone were removed to create the caves. And here’s the part no one can answer with certainty: we have no idea where all that rock went. No spoil piles. No quarries tied to it. No clear reuse trail.

The Mongol invasion of Hungary was accompanied by wide-scale destruction. All across the country, people buried their valuables, including coins, used to date buried hoards to the time of the invasion.

The massive loss of life meant people didn't reclaim these goods, and so they remain to be found by archaeologists.

A phenomenon geologists call tafoni, in which moisture wicks through porous rock, dissolves minerals such as calcite, and then redeposits them as crystals when the water evaporates.

Quoi de moins aventureux qu'un demi moyen âge demi antiquité tiedasse comme on le voit là ? L'odyssée me paraît bien plus folle si elle est ancrée dans son époque (celle où Ulysse possède lui même plusieurs milliers de bêtes, ça n'est pas juste un guerrier ingénieux.) Le passée est une terre étrangère, alors assumez le. Je veux voir un périple dans un monde inconnu, quelque chose de plus dépaysant que de changer à Réaumur Sébastopol pour prendre la 4 jusqu'à Odéon.
