This image offers an intriguing comparison between traditional Orthodox iconography of Jesus Christ and a modern AI-generated image based on the Shroud of Turin. The resemblance is striking, especially in the facial features, the intensity of the gaze, and the overall expression…
Jewish War, also known as Judea uprising, broke out in 66 CE and was an attempt at independence of Jews from power of Roman Empire. Jews have long tried to free themselves from the yoke of Rome. Initial successes always raised the morale of the insurgents, but when the emperor…
Many do not realize that the Parthenon in Athens was a church for around a millennium, one special enough that Basil II went there in 1018AD - “the church of the Mother of God in Athens was about to be recognized by the most powerful & victorious ruler in the Christian world”…
This is a very powerful AI movie about the destruction of Jerusalem and our temple and the rise of Jerusalem after it. We will start commemorating tonight with the fast of Tisha Baav. Unfortunately, it's in Hebrew, but it's still powerful even without understanding the Hebrew.
Al Aqsa was deliberately built on top of the holiest site in Judaism where our Temple stood, based on Mohammad's dying hallucinations. Mohammad never set foot in Jerusalem. The islamic claim to the city is baseless. Arab muslims are the real colonisers in the Holy Land.
Is it even holy if you steal it from someone else's land? Questionable beliefs
Reconstruction of the ancient Port of Carthage was a masterpiece of both naval and land force coordination making it the central base of operations of Carthage's control over its vast Empire. Only warships could enter the inner circular boat dry dock. Each massive warship could…

The Acropolis of Athens (1883), by Ivan Aivazovsky
Constantinople lacked sufficient fresh water, so aqueducts and cisterns were essential. By the 5th century, the Aqueduct of Valens brought water from around 130 km. It consisted of a network of channels that was almost 500 km long making it the longest Roman aqueduct system.
Roman Empire was one of the greatest civilizations in history. It lasted for over 1,000 years. It began in 753 BC, and much like other civilizations started as a small town and grew into larger cities. Early Rome was ruled by kings that ruled for life. Eventually Romans…
To combat the activities of thieves and highwaymen, most Roman roads were patrolled by special detachments of imperial army troops known as “stationarii” and “beneficiarii.” These soldiers manned police posts and watchtowers in both high traffic and remote areas to help guide…
The sandals' open nature made them breathable. This functionality helped reduce skin irritation during long marches in hot weather. Based on findings during a 2010 archeological excavation of 14 military graves at North Yorkshire in Britain, soldiers wore socks in cold weather…
While Romans did not invent footwear, they were first society to develop a varied selection, and to craft specialty shoes... Greeks and Egyptians developed simple sandals appropriate for their relatively warm climates. However, Italian Peninsula's temperate yet varied climate,…
On entering the church, they "knew not whether they were in Heaven or on Earth". They went home with no doubt. Vladimir the Great converted the Kievan Rus virtually overnight — starting what became the Russian Orthodox Church.
To have witnessed it then must've been transformative. In fact, a delegation from Kiev visited in the 10th century — trying to decide whether or not to convert their people to Christianity...
Exactly 4 years ago, the Hagia Sophia was converted to a mosque. But 1,500 years ago, it was built to be the greatest church the world had ever seen. Today it looks quite different — here's how it looked at its peak... (thread) 🧵
