"If youve ever wondered what confidence a civilization can have at its peak look at those walls. A thousand years ago in the forests of central India a small Chandela kingdom built a temple complex so advanced in geometry astronomy and stone engineering that modern architects still struggle to explain parts of it. No steel. No machines. Just craftsmen who carved sandstone like it was butter and encoded an entire worldview into a city of temples. This is the Khujaraho Temple Complex a group of Hindu and Jain temples in Madhya Pradesh India"

Syrians ran trade Gauls filled the legions Africans governed provinces and emperors came from Spain the Balkans and North Africa. People stopped fighting for Rome when the state broke faith with its own people debased its currency hollowed out civic duty and turned citizenship into a tax burden rather than a shared identity.

She argues that consciousness isnt made by the brain at all. Its a fundamental field of the universe. Meaning your self isnt a chemical glitch its a wave in something eternal. When you die the wave doesnt vanish. It returns to the source. If shes right near-death visions arent hallucinations. Theyre glimpses. And life after death isnt faith its physics.

"Neil deGrasse Tyson says God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance. But that assumes science only advances by pushing faith out of the room. History tells a different story. The people who built modern science were believers who thought the universe was rational ordered and worth investigating. Newton didnt study gravity because he lacked a better explanation. He studied it because he believed a coherent mind authored the laws behind it. If faith collapses every time science explains something why did the scientific method emerge in civilizations that believed the world was"

Its a humble statement from a man who reshaped not just sculpture but the emotional vocabulary of the Western imagination. Today on Berninis birthday its worth remembering the truth beneath the marble. He wasnt simply the genius of the Baroque.

"The Parthenon was built between XXX and XXX BCE during the height of Athenian power under Pericles as a symbol of Power not Art. It cost about XXX silver talents to build. That money came directly from the Delian League treasury which was funded by tribute paid by dozens of allied Greek city-states not just Athens. To grasp the scale this is why it shocks people. At its peak the Delian League was collecting around XXX talents per year from its members. That means the Parthenon alone cost close to an entire years imperial income.
