When they rewrite history it’s a viral event depending on repetition in social media. That’s the only purpose of these posts. Remember when they were blocking streets and attacking people on their way to work in early 2017?

Six police officers were injured and 217 protesters arrested Friday after a morning of peaceful protests and coordinated disruptions of Dona

There were also demonstrations in Portland, New Orleans, New York and Atlanta

The most trashed I’ve ever seen my city was after the Trump inauguration protests. Literally. Just piles of trash everywhere.

WE’VE WON TWO MAJOR PROFESSIONAL SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIPS SINCE THEN AND THE FUCKING DRUNK ASS SPORTS FANS PARTYING IN THE STREETS LEFT THE PLACE CLEANER.

A few days ago I went to guédelon and it was the most amazing thing ever

Over the last twenty years they have been working on building a medieval fortress by hand with building methods that would have been used in the 13. century. They expect to be done in about six or seven years

The castle is 'standardized' because about a thousand castles were build at the same time by King Phillip II. as a defnece against the english

It already looks beautiful just like that

The even move the stones around on little carriages that have to be moved by two people

Even all the safety structures are made by hand and out of wood (while they are safe just like that, they have to be screwed together as well so they are up to today's standards)

This will be the highest and most secure tower where the owner would escape to, should the castle be under siege. It has its own water and works mostly independent from the rest of the castle.

These are the wheels used to lift the stones and get them to the top of the wall. They are still moved by people walking inside and the only thing they added was a break so it's safer otherwise this is a complete reconstruction

The small chapel has the most beautiful window which was made completely by hand and it's so symmetrical it's unbelievable

Also there was a little nest of swallows in the chapel which made it extra amazing

The great hall is the only room with very big windows which made the room very lovely and bright. Below the great hall is the storage connected to the kitchen. Above the kitchen behind the great hall is a guest room which would be the warmes room since the cooking fire would be burning below it.

The guest room also had beautiful paintings and the even made the pigment for it themselves

There was so much more and it was so interesting I could have stayed there forever. Anyone who is interested in medieval history and has a chance to go there should definitely do that

I'm gonna stop now because tumblr won't let me add any more pictures and I have way too much to say about this because they showed so much amazing stuff
