This Twitter Account Shares Interesting Historical Facts The World Should Not Forget (40 Pics)

😮 Wow, just wow. It sure does look like CGI

Let´s bring this style back!

Sculptors deserve more credit than we give them. This is amazing!

Nice. They do something similar in the north of spain with beech trees. Instead of cutting the trunk they keep cutting their upper branches so the result is really thick beautiful trees with small branches on top

That is just gorgeous!

I'm in love! ❤❤❤

By now several of these trees are growing and producing fruit. So cool!

This is sooo beautiful!

What a wonderful invention!

Damn good quality

All cats get upvotes from me

Had one, it was beautiful. Funniest bit about it: it was about 35-40 kg. And nothing to grab or hold on to. My mom suggested to my dad that it would look so much nicer in the large upstairs bathroom. So he somehow dragged it upstairs on the narrow stairs. Mom: "hmmmm.... I think it's better where it was, you don't mind bringing it back down, right?"

Simply gorgeous ❣️

Wow! What an amazing meeti g of cultures and eras.

Bro knew how to draw

And 400 years later as well.

Thanks. I choose life. -Sid the ice age sloth-

This is the temple of the ancients from ff7

This makes me happy.

Eco-friendly, even back then.

He looks terrified. I feel bad for him.

I had to look twice to realize it is really a carpet and not, you know, a building.

"With this finger-ring I take you to be my wedded wife." would raise quite some eyebrows. Including those of the bride.

My fear of heights is kicking in just by looking at this photo :')

Now we can kill the Night King!

Turns out they were both male as well

If I was ever to be eaten by this creatures, I think I would easily hide between his teeth and then given the chance I would escape

Great teeth

Time to change the bathwater

Why does the King James version (1611) seem more familiar than the modern version?

Great. They reconstructed her how she looked when she was dead for a little less time.

This is so beautiful.

I'm from Bologna! In the Middle Ages a tower was a status symbol, every wealthy family had one. Sadly during '800 renovation may towers were destroyed to make space for bigger roads.

They are talking about two different things. But is is true. While renovating the natural harbour in Roskilde in Denmark, where the museum is situated, they found 9 ships ranging from around year 1000 to 1330. The longest, Roskilde 6, being 37.4 metres long. https://www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/nyheder/roskildeskibene-og-verdens-laengste-vikingeskib

Thou shall not kill, eh? 🤨

Surely this was ceremonial and not for battles. I cannot imagine it being practical at all.

Nope, not Dracula's castle. We went to Drac's "castle" in 1979. We were told that he had "several" castles and none of them were in any shape to "visit." However, the one we did go to was restored and we were assured that it looked pretty much like it would have. However, Romania was communist at the time and the guides were all "government employees" and sometimes they just didn't want to be bothered by actually having to do their job. However, if you ever go to this area, there is a really great restaurant [if it still exists] called the Dacia Hut. Great food. Way up in the mountains.

In the British Museum, of course. Many people outside the UK have to go to London to see their national treasures.

Magnificent.

And the horns, don't forget the horns

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Seems like the legend of Freddy Kruger, has been around longer than I thought! 🤔

There is a wine bottle which was found in Speyer which is believed to be the oldest intact wine bottle still containing its fluids. (A mix of wine and others fluids, as well as olive oil to preserve the wine!) I am not quite sure how old the bottle is supposed to be tho!

Moa went extinct 600 years a go. (Source - I live by the headland where they were hunted, and where most of their remains have been found)

British Museum. Of course.

And they were all individuals, no 2 are alike

I want!

Utterly sad.

Now this is cool.

I have been there many times. Its so beautiful. If you are ever in that region make sure to also visit tropea. The sea and the beach is amazing.

Means nothing without a banana for scale.

Hmmm, needs a good shampoo

Great "retro-futuristic" look.

Imagine if people were less arrogant and had left these in situ until we had the technology/ability to preserve these pigments for posterity.

So in less than 2 years we have an anniversary of the tomb being opened? Anyone else feel uneasy about it?

Otherworldy.

This is not the staircase of Chenonceau and Da Vinci designed the staircase of the Castle of Chambord, Another Loire castle and this is also not a picture of that staircase .... as that is a double helix open staircase.

Keeping up with the Bagrations

Weren´t these proven to be collector items, kinda like prop swords from videogames? For fans of classic novels like Vampyre and Dracula?

Oldest still standing in Europe, there is one older in Israel, and a few older ones still standing in North Africa and the Middle East. Also "Alte " is its nickname, not its actual name. In Yiddish "Alte" means "old"

The uniformity of that vertical fissure is kinda unsettling.

Wonder what it taste like

Looks like a different planet
