Many of Hampi’s temples, walls, and gateways were built using interlocking granite blocks no cement or binding material at all. The stones fit together so precisely that they’ve survived over 700 years of weather and earthquakes. # Hampi was capital of mighty Vijayanagara empire in south India

Marcus Agrippa has to be the most underrated wingman of all time Imagine solidifying your buddy’s military dominance over the entire Mediterranean and then marrying his daughter in order to give him male heirs, having 2 sons (his grandsons) and then his bitch wife’s son (Tiberius) fucks it up

Was at an event at Red Fort in Delhi last night and realised that red sandstone has presence in historic and iconic structures worldwide. From Germany’s Heidelberg Castle, France’s Strasbourg Cathedral, USA’s Smithsonian Castle It’s the stone that connects empires, eras, and continents through architecture that never fades.

it's completely normal to have this sense of "I haven't done enough" all that matters is if you give up or use it as motivation https://x.com/basedkarbon/status/1982460259080777960

Belgium’s King Leopold killed 10 million Congolese. It is the most horrific genocide of the 20 century. Remember this when you visit the city of Brussels to appreciate its architecture built on blood gold.
