The most beautiful medieval cities on Earth 🧵

1. Siena, Italy 📷: _nonna_lu
2. Bologna, Italy, has one of the best-preserved medieval historical city centers in the world.

Once among Europe's largest cities, it is known as the "Manhattan of the Middle Ages" for its tower-filled skyline. Today, only 30 of the original 100 towers remain standing. Image
3. Edinburgh's Old Town, the heart of Scotland’s capital, is a place beyond words.

Its medieval buildings and streets remain largely intact, telling the story of the city from the Middle Ages to modern times. Image

The most beautiful roads on Earth 🧵

1. Sword road, Iceland Image

Often referred to as "the most beautiful journey in the world", this road winds like a graceful sea serpent across eight bridges, connecting Kårvåg on Averøya to Vevang on the mainland. Photo by skeye_photo
3. Amalfi Coast, Italy

"For the people of Amalfi who go to heaven, judgment day will be a day like any another." Image

Thread of surreal archaeological discoveries 🧵

1. Dubbed the "flying carpet," this Roman mosaic found in Antakya, Turkey, was so masterfully crafted that it retained its intricate design despite the wave-like distortions caused by earthquakes. Image
2. Colossal Olmec stone heads

The Olmecs, Mesoamerica’s first major civilization, are thought to have flourished in Veracruz and Tabasco from 1200 to 400 BC, vanishing mysteriously in the 4th century BC. Image
3. A magnificent 2000 year old Roman mosaic on the bank of the river Euphrates, Turkey. Image

Thread of extraordinary painting details 🧵

1. The whole table is judging you. Even the cat. Carl Bloch's "In a Roman Osteria" (1866)
2. "The eyes are the windows to the soul"

Microscope maker Hirox has created a stunning 10-gigapixel panorama of Vermeer’s "Girl with a Pearl Earring."

You can zoom into the left eye to see the pupil, and then zoom in further to reveal the light source as a few paint blobs. Image
3. This is one of my personal favorites: in Giorgione's "Portrait of an Archer," the young man's hand is reflected in the surface of his armor. Image

I used Grok's new image generation model to reinterpret Greek myths and epic poems.

The results are stunning - a thread 🧵

1. Aeneas fleeing the burning city of Troy Image
2. Prometheus and the Theft of Fire

I asked Grok to generate a marble sculpture of this famous myth.

Interestingly, it incorporated two key elements: the flame in his hands and the chains forged by Hephaestus, with which Zeus bound him to a rock for giving fire to humans. Image
3. Pandora’s Box

After Prometheus gave fire to humans, Zeus sought revenge. He ordered Hephaestus to create Pandora, giving her a jar with strict instructions never to open it. She was then sent to Prometheus' brother. Pandora opened the jar, releasing all evils upon the world. Image
