The Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Reims is a magnificent example of French Gothic architecture, boasting a rich history dating back to the 13th century. Its construction commenced in 1211 and spanned over 80 years, resulting in a stunning representation of High Gothic style. The cathedral's historical importance is deeply intertwined with its role as the site for French coronations, where numerous French monarchs were crowned.

“… I met a number of folks on the way. There was a goat woman that fed me, and she claimed it’s a sign of God’s mercy that He won’t let us remember the reddest details of pain. He knows the parts we can’t bear and won’t let our minds render them again …”

There is no rope in this image. This is carved from a single block of marble.

Is there a person alive today who could do this?

"The Release from Deception" by Italian sculptor Francesco Queirolo - completed in 1759 after 7 years of work. It depicts a fisherman being released from netting by an angel, allegorical to the man being liberated from his sins.

So intricate was the work that 18th-century philosopher Giangiuseppe Origlia described it as “the last and most trying test to which sculpture in marble can aspire.”

Queirolo worked alone on his magnum opus, without an assistant or even a workshop. Even other sculptors refused to touch the delicate net in case it broke into pieces in their hands.

The masterpiece is housed at the Sansevero Chapel in Naples, with several other miracles of marble. Namely, "The Veiled Christ" (1753) by Giuseppe Sanmartino and "The Veiled Truth" (1750) by Antonio Corradini.

Scientists ran an experiment to show how many invisible water droplets fly out of the toilet when you flush. I am so sorry to have to show you this. https://t.co/DbCIPjjW36

The famous Berlin bust of Nefertiti is not actually labelled in any way. It is only identified as Nefertiti, off the basis of her crown design
