Lascaux Cave - the Sistine Chapel of the Paleolithic Period :Lascaux Cave is a Palaeolithic cave situated in southwestern France, near village of Montignac in Dordogne region, which houses some of most famous examples of prehistoric cave paintings...Close to 600 paintings – mostly of animals - dot the interior walls of the cave in impressive compositions. Horses are the most numerous, but deer, aurochs, ibex, bison, and even some felines can also be found. Besides these paintings, which represent most of the major images, there are also around 1400 engravings of a similar order.The art, dated to 17000-15000 BC, falls within the Upper Palaeolithic period and was created by the clearly skilled hands of humans living in the area at that time. The region seems to be a hotspot; many beautifully decorated caves have been discovered there. Exact meaning of the paintings at Lascaux or any of the other sites is still subject to discussion, but the prevailing view attaches a ritualistic or even spiritual component to them, hinting at the sophistication of their creators. Lascaux was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list in 1979, along with other prehistoric sites in its proximity.Art at Lascaux was both painted on and engraved into the uneven walls of the cave, artists working with edges and curves of the walls to enhance their compositions. Resulting impressive displays depict mainly animals, but also a significant amount of abstract symbols, and even a human. Of the animals, horses dominate the imagery, followed by deer and aurochs, and then ibex and bison. A few carnivores, such as lions and bears, are also present. The archaeological record of the area shows that the depicted animals reflect the fauna that was known to these Palaeolithic humans.The entrance of the cave leads away from the daylight and straight into the main chamber of the cave, the Hall of the Bulls. Aptly named, this space contains mostly aurochs, a now-extinct type of large cattle. In a round dance, four large bulls tower above fleeing horses and deer, the relief of the walls serving to emphasise certain parts of the paintings. The animals are shown in side-view, but with their horns turned, giving the paintings a liveliness indicative of great skill. So far, these animals are easily identifiable, but others are less clear-cut. Seemingly pregnant horse with what looks like one horn on its head. Another mysterious figure is depicted with panther skin, a deer's tail, a bison's hump, two horns and a male member. Creative minds have suggested it may be a sorcerer or wizard, but what it really represents is hard to determine.Beyond the Hall of the Bulls lies Axial Gallery, a dead-end passage, but a spectacular one at that. It has been dubbed the 'Sistine Chapel of Prehistory,' as its ceiling is home to several eye-catching compositions. Red aurochs stand with their heads forming a circle, while the main figures of Gallery stand opposite one another: a mighty black bull on one side, a female aurochs on the other, seemingly jumping onto some sort of lattice that has been drawn underneath her hooves. There are horses in many shapes, including one known as 'Chinese horse,' with its hooves depicted slightly to the back, demonstrating a use of perspective far ahead of its time. Towards the back of the passage, a horse gallops with its mane blowing in the wind while its companion falls over with legs in the air.Original cave was closed to public in 1963 CE, after it became clear that many visitors caused, among others, growth of algae on cave walls, dealing irreparable damage to the paintings. Despite closure, fungi have spread within cave, and efforts to control these issues and protect art are ongoing. Those looking for an alternative experience can visit Lascaux II, a replica of Great Hall of Bulls and Painted Gallery sections, which was opened in 1983 CE and is located a mere 200m from original cave.🎥 : Credit to the Owner#archaeohistories#

I had a good meeting with the President of Italy, Sergio Mattarella. I expressed gratitude for Italy’s steadfast support of Ukraine and its clear and principled stance regarding just and lasting peace and the importance to work closely with international partners to achieve this goal.I appreciate Italy’s positive view of Ukraine’s integration into the EU and NATO as essential components of the broader European security system. I underscored that Ukraine’s integration into existing, functioning security structures is not only the most effective solution but also the most cost-efficient for all partners.Ukraine highly values Italy’s unchanged position on maintaining and enforcing sanctions against Russia, which unleashed war in the centre of Europe.We also discussed the sensitive issue of the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia—thousands of young lives whose futures have been shattered by Russia’s war. We have to restore their futures and do everything possible to ensure they, like all children, can live happily.I also expressed gratitude to Italy for its care and support of Ukrainian orphans currently residing in Italy due to the Russian war. Additionally, I extended an invitation to President Mattarella to visit Kyiv, and I look forward to continuing this strong partnership.

AI有个预测：当今的独裁者，大概率都被处决，而不是审判，因为他们亲自毁了法制。乌克兰完成了现代战争中最大胆的打击之一，击中了四个空军基地的41架俄罗斯轰炸机，其中一些距离其边境远达4400公里。乌克兰利用安装在卡车上的木制移动舱，秘密走私了隐藏在屋顶下的第一人称视角(FPV)无人机。一旦到位，屋顶即可远程打开，将数十架无人机直接发射到俄罗斯的战略空军机队。结果：对俄罗斯的轰炸机部队造成了毁灭性的打击。BREAKING: Ukraine has reportedly pulled off one of the most daring strikes in modern warfare, hitting 41 Russian bombers across four air bases—some as far as 4,400 km from its borders.Using wooden mobile cabins mounted on trucks, Ukraine secretly smuggled in FPV drones hidden beneath the roofs. Once in position, the roofs swung open remotely, launching dozens of drones straight into Russia’s strategic air fleet.The result: a devastating blow to Russia’s bomber force—aircraft that sanctions and shortages make nearly impossible to replace. This level of deep-cover precision has never been seen at such scale.

洛杉矶市中心，一家企业主把移民局(ICE)的人锁在了店里。ICE前来搜查，现在他们被困在里面。后来FBI赶到！大多数人没有意识到这一点，但洛杉矶市中心的某些区域实际上100%是非法的。有些人已经在那里生活了一代人，其他人则是新来者。他们说洛杉矶只有90万非法移民，我们不信。我们估计有几百万。而且，美国肯定会爆发内战的。In downtown LA, a business owner has locked ICE inside the business. ICE came to search and is now trapped inside. The FBI has just arrived! Most people don't realize this, but there are sections of downtown LA that are virtually 100% illegal. Some have been there for a generation, while others are new arrivals. They claim there are only 900,000 undocumented individuals in L.A., but we don't believe it. We estimate the number to be a couple of million.
