Boxwood figurines from the 16th century baffle art historians around the world.
They are so miniaturized that a microscope and X-rays had to be used to study them. These wooden figurines were created within a short period of time from 1500 to 1530 in Flanders or the Netherlands. The demand for pocket-sized, high-quality figurines of a religious nature arose with the emergence of merchants as a class.
However, the Reformation soon began and many church accessories fell out of fashion, including adobe miniatures.
Using microcomputer tomography and 3D scanning, researchers have discovered just how complex these miniature altars are actually arranged.
The inner layers are joined together by completely hidden seams that can only be detected with a microscope or X-ray. The individual fragments are attached to each other with tiny connecting pieces.
But much of the production process remains unsolved.

In ancient times, winding waterways were used to wind through the courtyards of traditional stone mansions. These paths created a rhythmic singing of water as it flowed and gave the environment a sense of coolness.
The main purpose was to provide psycho-physiological relaxation for humans.

Native Indian legend of a village built by the titans
In the Chronicles of Peru, Pedro Cieza de Leon states that the Titans were tall and reached the coasts in large boats. They created wells and huge settlements. This story continued until a "great fire" destroyed the giants. Cieza de Leon saw these wells and village with his own eyes, confirming their imposing size. Thus, ancient legends appear to be confirmed by facts.

During the Eighty Years' War, Spain invaded Europe
and marched through it, burning whole cities. They got as far as the Netherlands in the winter. The Dutch were no strangers to flooding the plain in front of the city, which was besieged by the Spanish armada. The Spaniards tried to approach by ships, but it didn't work - the water was frozen. They moved further on foot on the ice - but here they were met by booby traps and Dutch ninjas on skates (!), who quickly rode out to the distance of the shot, shot at the enemy and just as quickly rode away on skates to safety. The Spanish couldn't understand what the hell was going on. So the army on skates kicked their ass.

The Vatican Library is one of the most secure sites in the world: its protection is more severe than that of any existing nuclear power plant.
In addition to numerous Swiss guards, the library is guarded by modern automatic systems that form several levels of protection.
The secret archives of the Vatican became known in 1611 under Pope Paul V. A limited number of people can get there. Some scholars, having a letter of recommendation, can get into the holy of holies, but the entrance there is regulated and allows two people per year.
At the same time, entrance to the archive does not imply free movement and access to any documents.
A visitor specifies a topic of interest and the relevant literature is selected.
Such closedness raises questions and gives rise to the birth of theories about what the Vatican archive really holds

This is the Paris Opera, or Opera Garnier after the architect Charles Garnier.
He was unknown and was working on small commissions in Paris when in 1861 a competition for designs for a new opera house was announced. At that time Charles was already 35 years old, and it often seemed to him that fate bypassed him. But he took part in the competition and won, being given the opportunity to dispose of rare and expensive materials for the decoration of the building. The result is this masterpiece that has survived through the ages.

Bill Gates cut down 70 million acres of forests to reduce global warming
Breakthrough Energy, a company founded by Bill Gates, has provided investment for a project to carve out forested areas and then the felled trees will be buried in the ground. Scientists claim that this practice helps reduce global warming.

Quintessential transhumanism: The Pentagon is exploring gene editing, the Internet of Bodies, and artificial intelligence to enhance human performance.
A Pentagon-sponsored RAND report from a few months ago describes the technological possibilities of this controversial transhumanist research, which includes potentially "adding reptilian genes that provide the ability to see in the infrared" as well as "creating stronger, smarter, or more adaptable humans to extreme environments."

Astronomical Compendium 1550
It included a passageway instrument for determining the time of night by the stars, a list of latitudes, a magnetic compass, a list of ports and harbors, a perpetual calendar, and a lunar index. The compendium could be used to determine the time, the height of the tide in ports, and calendar calculations.

One of the oldest optical illusions in the world is carved in the Airavateswara temple in Tamil Nadu.
The remarkable work of art is said to be 900 years old. But this is not certain
In the image, you can see a bull and an elephant with one head. When the body and legs of the animal on the left are removed, the creature on the right looks like an elephant. But if the elephant's body and legs are removed, there remains a bull
