my absolute favorite thing about pliny the elder is the sheer comedic effect that results from an ancient roman who thought that there were only like 170 fish in the sea claiming that the romans knew everything about the world around them. like in one paragraph he’ll say something like ‘isn’t it astounding how much we know about the world!’ and in the next breath he’ll by like ‘and now here is a list of animals that have no blood in their body during certain times of the year’ and it never fails to kill me every time

The Golubats Fortress, Serbia 🏰

Besides looking like the Winterfell castle, Golubats also has a very unique name. Derived from the Serbian word “golub” meaning “dove”, the Golubats fortress is said to have “towers like doves, aiming for the skies”.

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

[dancing-coyote]

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

Why Medieval Torture Devices are Not Medieval - Medievalists.net

When many people think about the Middle Ages they see it as a time when people were tortured by a wide collection of diabolical instruments. Whether it is the Pear of Anguish or the Iron Maiden, these torture devices are portrayed as medieval. The reality, however, is that many of these devices never existed in the Middle Ages.
