They were fine in the Middle Ages. Too much, right?

Musical Clock with Spinet and Organ
Veit Langenbucher and Samuel Bidermann, ca. 1625
Inside the ebony case of this musical clock is an extremely rare and important instrument consisting of a sixteen-note pipe organ and a sixteen-string spinet that may be played independently of the organ. Made by the renowned team of Samuel Bidermann and his son (also Samuel)--the father’s L-shaped pinning style appears in this work--and Viet Langenbucher, the extraordinary piece includes, in addition to the organ and spinet, a clock and five carved and colorfully clad commedia dell'arte figures that perform a circling dance in the clock's tower when the instruments sound to mark the hours.
The complex clock is perhaps the most musically elaborate automatic instrument to survive from the early seventeenth century. Its three airs, probably by composer Hans Leo Hassler (baptized 1564-1612), the elder Bidermann's teacher and once keeper of the knowledge of pinning barrels in Augsburg, are stored on the original pinned cylinder. Most cylinders and their tunes were replaced by subsequent generations, but this one was spared to provide us with an extremely rare musical document that allows us to hear the airs as they were played in the seventeenth century.

🇬🇧 Crimean Pyramids: Traces of a Forgotten Civilization
The discovery of underground pyramids in Crimea is not a theory, but a fact that can change our understanding of the past. In 1999, geophysicist Vitaly Gokh announced the discovery of mysterious structures hidden underground.
According to him, these are traces of a highly developed civilization that existed long before the historical epochs known to us. These pyramids could be the key to unlocking forgotten pages of human History.

🇬🇧 The shepherds on stilts of Gascony
In the late 1800s, a discreet man with a camera was traveling the windswept plains of southwestern France. His name was Felix Arnaudin, and what he captured was a way of life that was already disappearing.
Among his most striking images were the shepherds of the Moors, perched on high wooden stilts. Dressed in thick wool coats and wide hats, these men were not artists, but the survivors of the swamps. Their stilts lifted them above the damp, uneven ground, allowing them to keep an eye on their herds and travel long distances across the soggy heather.
Through Arnaudin's lens, these shepherds appear as slender, spectral silhouettes on the flat horizon, figures shaped by wind, mud and patience. His solitude is almost sacred. Her poise, a silent defiance of the elements.
But progress was coming. The swamps dried up. Pine forests were planted. The roads were paved. The stilts were lowered, then forgotten.
Arnaudin knew what was disappearing. He dedicated his life to preserving the faces, stories and songs of his homeland. His photographs, now preserved in museums — are not just archives, they are elegies.
Thanks to him, the shepherds on stilts of Gascony are not forgotten. They remain, tall and motionless, engraved in silver and light, watching over a past too proud to disappear completely.
