7/8 The manuscript survived wars, political upheaval, and centuries of chaos.

During the Thirty Years’ War, it was taken as war booty and transported to Stockholm.

Today it remains one of the world’s most famous medieval treasures.

@MichaelButtonX Time stretches our imagination until the deep past feels less like history and more like a completely different planet.

At those scales, we are not just looking at lost civilizations, but at entire chapters of human existence that vanished without leaving a single word behind.

@LandsknechtPike The profession of arms has a long history of sacrifice & bravery.

However, the true honor of a warrior is usually the cause they defend rather than the paycheck they earn.

@Civixplorer Interesting how geographic clusters reveal different migration waves from history, as well as how history directly shapes our local demographics still today.

@HistoryWJacob @DonnaPence5 Washington’s escape that day preserved the one man with the character and leadership to eventually unite and guide a new nation.

Talk about Destiny. Wow.

Also impressive that the Indian chief’s prophecy proved to be 100% accurate.

🚢 The Republic That Lasted 1,100 Years

1/7🧵THE REPUBLIC OF VENICE lasted over 1,100 years.

While kingdoms collapsed, dynasties vanished, and empires burned, Venice remained independent from 697 AD to 1797 AD.

For more than a millennium, this floating city ruled trade, wealth, and politics across the Mediterranean.

This is the unbelievable story of Europe’s oldest continuous government.
