❗️❗️🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukraine has launched a devastating, lightning-fast counter-offensive in Donetsk, violently shattering Russia's defensive lines and reclaiming total operational control over the strategic city of Lyman.

Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) assault units have thoroughly swept and cleared the vast majority of Lyman, systematically eliminating embedded enemy pockets and capturing an immense haul of Russian prisoners of war in the process. The rapid collapse of the occupying forces in this vital logistics hub has completely unhinged Russia's defensive perimeter in the region, leaving fleeing Kremlin troops disorganized and utterly overwhelmed.

This decisive breakthrough strips Moscow of a critical stronghold and completely derails its offensive momentum in the east. By trapping and capturing a massive wave of Russian combatants, Ukraine has not only replenished its exchange fund but also exposed the severe vulnerability of Russia's frontline manpower, proving that the Kremlin can no longer hold onto its occupied territories against aggressive, high-tempo Ukrainian breakthroughs.

The ancient site of Arsameia, located on the Nymphaios river (modern Eski Kâhta) in Adıyaman province of southeastern Türkiye 🇹🇷, features a relief depicting King Mithridates I Kallinikos of Commagene (or his son, King Antiochus I) shaking hands with the Greek god Heracles.

This handshake, known as dexiosis, symbolizes unity, diplomatic alliance, and equality between the mortal king and the divine. By carving this scene, the Commagenian kings aimed to legitimize their rule, asserting that their royal lineage and authority received divine approval.

The monument is a stunning blend of Hellenistic Greek and ancient Persian artistic traditions, with King Mithridates depicted wearing elaborate Persian royal attire and a pointed Armenian tiara, while Heracles is shown in the classical Greek style, muscular and draped in a lion's skin with his iconic club.

This remarkable entrance belongs to an early 20th-century building in Courbevoie, France, designed by architect Eugène Coulon between 1900 and 1903.

The façade is decorated with ceramic and mosaic details, but the floral doorway is the part that instantly stands out.

The Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan

▫️This obelisk is carved directly out of bedrock in a granite quarry, and was intended to stand at an estimated 42 metres (137 feet). It is believed to weigh around 1,200 tonnes.

The obelisk was abandoned due to cracks forming in the stone, offering modern visitors a unique opportunity to see the techniques the #AncientEgyptians used to create these colossal monuments. It dates from the reign of the female pharaoh #Hatshepsut, c. 1500 B.C.
