A man restores a runestone, Sweden 1936

Most of the stones date back to the 11th century. Inscription: "Tole and Thorny made these monuments in memory of Thor and Klakka, their sons"

The remains of an ancient, more advanced civilization.

A joke of course😁.

This Roman mosaic was not destroyed by barbarians. It was covered with a layer of mud and ash during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius 2000 years ago. Once there was an elite villa on this place. It remains to be hoped that at least the owner managed to evacuate.

this day in history - Joan of Arc was burned.

On May 30, 1431, the story of an outstanding lady ended. At the age of 13, Jeanne believed that she was destined to lift the siege of Orleans. At 16, she went to war against the British, shocking everyone with her combat training. In 4 days, under the command of Jeanne, the siege of Orleans was lifted. The task was considered impossible. There were many more victories in the history of the girl. But it ended in betrayal - having been captured, she did not receive any help from her own king. And was sentenced to death.

On May 18, 1980, a volcano located in the northern United States, after a series of tremors and smoke emissions, began to spew hell. Volcanologist David Johnston was at a distance of 8 kilometers. However, rescuers who arrived at the scene did not find even traces of him. The photo you see is also made in blood - its author Robert Landsburg also did not survive the eruption. Despite the evacuation, 57 people died, and 600 square kilometers turned into the lunar surface. So much CO2 was thrown out that it's better for poor climatologists fighting with refrigerators not to know about it.

Have you heard about the famous city in the rock of Petra? So that's not him in the photo😄

The photo shows the city of Hegra, built by the Nabataean state in the first century AD. It is the second largest city of civilization after Petra. But far from the last even of the surviving ones.
