Suzhou’s massive Confucian temple, current incarnation dating from the Ming, is mightily impressive.

Currently under restoration but spotted on a previous visit, temple contains these masterpieces of Song Dynasty carving - stelae bearing cosmological and geographic depictions.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live during the 13th century in the #Arab world?

The paintings of the Assemblies of al-Hariri (al-Maqāmāt al-ḥarīriyah) have a realistic view of the 13th-century #Muslim lifestyle that comprises 50 short stories and 99 miniatures.

Protection from curses and spells is easy enough in Japan, regardless of whether you seek Shinto priest, Buddhist monk, or Onmyoji. Paper texts containing sutras, tantra, or a paper double could take the curse for you and protect you from harm. #FaustianFriday

Let’s remember the legendary story of Ali Baba! 🧞‍♂️
The Stories from the Arabian nights consist of five narratives, with vibrant illustrations, published in 1911. One of the stories, of course, is Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.🔗https://t.co/TzDE3V29vr
