Georgios Karaiskakis' (Greek General during the Greek Revolution), answer to Mehmet Resit Pasha asking him to surrender. Held at the Museum of Art and Technology of Epirus. The translation of the letter:

Keratsini 20 April 1827

To Mehmet Resit Pasha

From Athens,

"Fuck you and your faith and Mohamed. What did you think, you cuckolds.. you should be ashamed to ask us sign a treaty with such a shitty Sultan Mahmud. I shit on him and your vezir and that Jew silihtar Boda, the whore. If I survive I will fuck you up. If I die, you can fart on my nuts." *

General
Georgios Karaiskakis

(Greek idiom that means I don't care)

Note: His vocabulary is obscene. It was however the language the Greek revolutionaries used on a daily basis in the first 25 years of the 19th century, in a poor but also revolutionary Greece.

This letter shows the way of thinking of a genuine representative of the generation of Greek revolutionaries of 1821, but also the anti-Turkish sentiment at the time.
πŸ”₯β›ͺ FIRE COMPLETELY DESTROYS A CHURCH IN NORMANDY, EXACTLY 2 YEARS AFTER NOTRE DAME.

πŸ‘‰πŸ» For some time now, France has been facing an epidemic of fires that target churches. The most famous one being the one of Notre Dame de Paris, almost exactly two years ago.

πŸ’₯ But small churches in villages, often isolated, are not spared. This weekend, the church of Romilly-La-Puthenaye burned down completely and was destroyed.

πŸ”Ž The cause of the fire is "unknown" according to investigators, an electrical fault being excluded.

πŸ“Œ But the fire took place during Ramadan, thus some attribute the responsibility to Muslims, Ramadan being traditionally in France a period of Islamist exactions.

Plutarch, Alexander, 8

"Moreover, in my opinion Alexander's love of the art of healing was inculcated in him by Aristotle preeminently. For he was not only fond of the theory of medicine, but actually came to the aid of his friends when they were sick, and prescribed for them certain treatments and regimens, as one can gather from his letters. He was also by nature a lover of learning and a lover of reading. Aristotle he admired at the first, and loved him, as he himself used to say, more than he did his father, for that the one had given him life, but the other had taught him a noble life."

Components of a portable universal altitude sundial with geared calendrical device.
Period/Culture: Byzantine
Date: A.D. 401-600

The sundial is of a type known in other examples, some the products of recent archaeological excavations and all dated to the Late Antique or Early Byzantine period. Dating by the place names included (some of them being Athens, Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Rome, Sicily, Africa, Antioch, etc.) in the latitude table, by the style of the heads of the planetary gods used to identify the days of the week, and by the style of the script, all indicate that the instrument dates from the late fifth century of the Christian era or the first half of the sixth.

The emergence of Byzantine mathematical gearing indicates that the Hellenistic tradition attested by the Antikythera machine (first century BC) continued to be active in the Byzantine period.
