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

Monocycle, 1927.
That feeling when footage from 90 years ago looks like something from the future.

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
An ancient example of a puzzle

Absolutely brilliant justification for big doors read
As usual, watch your fingers: "Big doors are needed to enter the building on horseback with unfurled banners and other religious accessories (why?).
Opening the doors with a key was also apparently planned to be done from a horse, convenient, I guess. Pushing a heavy door to open it was also supposed to be done by a horse".
And Budyonny himself designed such buildings, not otherwise. Even this nonsense for the officials is preferable to the truth about the race of giants, which they so diligently hide

A little-known invention of Nikola Tesla, which interested scientists.
Nikola Tesla owns more than 300 patents for various devices: motors, radio receivers, remote controls, X-rays, neon signs and much more. However, few people know about the patent of infinite energy, changing space and time.
Of particular interest is a cone-shaped ship with unprecedented range and speed. This machine could easily travel both in the air and deep underwater, and even go into space, creating a quantum vacuum in the energy field.

Scientists have recorded a signal from the planet Gliese 581d
At the moment it is known that the celestial body is 2 times larger than the Earth. Signals were recorded a long time ago, but only in 2014 it was possible to notice the fact that they are repeated, are cyclical. No phenomenon in the universe is capable of this, unless, of course, it is artificially created.
The signals indicate the presence of an extraterrestrial civilization on the planet, trying to send a message to neighboring systems and galaxies.
But it has not yet been possible to decipher the "letter"

In a speech about Hiroshima, the UN secretary general did not mention the country that bombed the city
"Nearly eight decades ago, Hiroshima was sizzled by a nuclear bomb. Yet, as anyone who has been here knows, the memories never fade."
The bomb has already become something of a draw.
Time will pass, and everyone will get used to the fact that the bomb is a nobody's bomb, and then it will be attributed to the USSR.
That's how history is rewritten.
Let's help the old General Secretary with a poor memory, because we cannot speak ill of the masters: the USA is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people as a result of the bombing of cities.
