This kind of integration of a parking facility with a botanical habitat creates biodiversity, mitigates summer heat and adds beauty to the urban environment.

Even if Gaddafi was a beast like the western media told us. NATO had no right to invade any country and murder their president like a squirrel. Libya is worse off now but some of you still praise the same people that set your house on fire.

Mesa Verde landscape is a remarkably well-preserved prehistoric settlement landscape of the Ancestral Puebloan culture, which lasted for almost nine hundred years from 450-1300 CE.

This plateau in southwest Colorado, which sits at an altitude of more than 2600m, contains a great concentration of spectacular Pueblo Indian dwellings, including the well-known cliff dwellings.

Digital Reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate, largest of the 8 gates of Babylon (now in modern-day Iraq), built approximately 2500 years ago during reign of Babylonian King Nabuchadnezzar II.

Since the star of Ishtar, the goddess of love and beauty, is 8-pointed, the city of Babylon was also built with 8 gates. Because Ishtar's eyes are blue, the door is also blue.

Made about a thousand years ago in Denmark, this magnificent Viking brooch is worked out from gold, with both extensive granular and wire filigree decorations that are clearly the work of a master craftsperson. Both the complexity of the design, and its perfect execution are astonishing not just then, but at any time.

The helmet, spear and shield of a spartan warrior along with the Persian arrows. The artifacts are found during an archaeological search of the site of the battle of Thermopylae (480 BC).

In the battle of Thermopylae around 7,000 ancient Greeks, mostly Spartans led by their king Leonidas showed unbelievable strength and courage against the Persian invaders who’s size of army is estimated by modern scholars between 120,000 and 300,000 soldiers.

Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi - one of the treasures of Italian religious art :

Assisi, a city in the Umbria region, a spiritual, artistic and touristic center whose identity is intertwined with the figure of St. Francis. In this small city, everything goes back to St. Francis: remains of the Saint have been preserved here since 1230 AD. Medieval urban setting is rich in breathtaking alleys and sights that assimilate perfectly with works of religious art of inestimable value.

Basilica of St. Francis is the main attraction of Assisi. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000, the basilica was built to host the thousands of pilgrims who travel to Assisi every year, led by a profound devotion to the Saint. Basilica is one of the oldest pieces of Gothic architecture in Italy, and it is famous all over the world for the majesty of the masterpieces it hosts: the frescos of Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini, and Pietro Lorenzetti.

Basilica of St. Francis is located on a hill, on a square of irregular shape covered by green grass. Before the construction of the church, the hill was called Colle dell’Inferno, “Hill of Hell,” because it was where death sentences were carried out. Once the church was built, the name of hill changed to Colle del Paradiso, “Hill of Paradise.” With construction starting in 1228 AD, the basilica is now a complex comprising two complementary churches, one on top of the other: the Upper and Lower Basilicas. The former is built in Lombard Romanic style, while the latter in Gothic style.

- 2 décembre : Méfiance, méfiance 👀 -

En 60, Cicéron est encore marqué par son consulat 3 ans plus tôt, et surtout par les événements du 5 décembre 63 où il a ordonné la mise à mort des partisans de Catilina. Une décision qui lui a valu de nombreux ennemis. Méfiance donc...
