Delve into the past, appreciate where we come from, and contemplate how it shapes our present and future. Happy exploring!
Imagine how much the Colosseum has seen in its long history! From majestic gladiatorial fights to modern concerts, he witnessed thousands of events and eras. Its walls keep the secrets of ancient Rome!
Last year gave me a unique opportunity to explore a mysterious place, an abandoned hydraulic device factory in Ordzhonikidze, full of history and secrets.
The factory was founded in the middle of the 20th century and for a long time produced hydraulic devices for needs including shipbuilding and aviation.
At the peak of its activity, more than 2000 people worked here.
With the closure of the factory in the early 2000s, many of its buildings and equipment remained intact, creating an atmosphere of abandonment and mystery. Currently, excursions are held there and films are shot, for example, the film "Poddubny" was filmed there.
This trip left unforgettable impressions and inspired me to new discoveries!

Marlene Dietrich took only the essentials with her on the trip. Do you do that too?

Happy Women's Day🌸 🌸 🌸
Celebrating the champions: Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg!
In 1910, Clara Zetkin proposed the idea of International Women's Day at the Second International Socialist Women's Conference in Copenhagen. The goal? To get women to rally and march, raising awareness about their issues.

Have you ever tried to be an archeologist? Or maybe you tried other professions that were so exciting in childhood?
Recently I visited an antique shop.
It smelled of the atmosphere of the past, where each thing has its own life story. Such places simply fascinate me. Do you like such shops?

Not totally sure about the best name for it, but I’d call this game "Off the Ground." These days, the kids are calling it "Floor is Lava"🔥

John Rockefeller dreamed of earning $100,000 and living to be 100, but he earned $192 million and died at 97. Not all dreams come true.
Pope is dying 😢
Good morning Frens!
Probably would be best to leave this here... Apparently nobody up on Farcaster has seen these INCREDIBLE SHOWS... I'm very perplexed honestly😅

Happy Friday guys!!!! It's a /retrospect weekend for me and I was kinda wondering which of these old school evergreens you love the most and can rewatch a hundred times 😁
The founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud is credited with many oddities.
Freud was deathly afraid of the number 62.He refused to reserve a hotel room with more than 62 Rooms out of fear accidentally get room number 62.
Freud had no ear for music and no talent for it. Because of this, he hated music so much that he even avoided restaurants with a live orchestra.
Dr. Freud came up with his "signature" method of communicating with patients, where the patient lies on a couch and the doctor sits behind him, because he was afraid to look people in the eye.

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever believed as a child?
When I was a kid I seriously believed that my neighbor was a zombie (then he was a young guy suffering from epilepsy). So my friends and I were seriously creeping on him, trying to find some evidence of his zombie's nature🙈 🙈 🙈

The best mountain resorts have the best waiters, perfect service and the most delicious mulled wine. So many people go there for more than just skiing.

Tallinn, 1960.
The atmosphere of a bygone era – a different time, a different pace of life.
Tallinn has changed since then.
But the spirit of old Tallinn remains unchanged—you can still feel it as you walk through its streets today.
