One of the hidden benefits of reading old books is that they rescue you from the arrogance of the present.

Voynich Manuscript; a book with illustrations written in an unknown writing system. Parchment on which it was written has been carbon-dated to early 15th century (1404-1438 CE) and is thought to have been created in Italy during Italian Renaissance. Manuscript took its name from Polish second-hand bookseller Wilfrid M. Voynich, whose existence was discovered in 1912. Book contains a total of 240 pages, but some pages are thought to be missing. Text is written from left to right, and many of the pages contain drawings or diagrams. Some pages are foldable. Manuscript was studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including American and British code breakers during WWII. However, manuscript has never been clearly deciphered, and the meaning and origin of its contents remain a mystery. For this reason, Voynich Manuscript has excited popular imagination and become subject of novels and speculation. None of hypotheses put forward in last 100 years have been independently verified. In 1969, Voynich Manuscript was donated by Hans P. Kraus to Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Although there are still people trying to decipher this manuscript, no one has been able to decipher its mystery and language. - Subscribe for Detailed Post - #archaeohistories

To highlight the scale once again - if you look closely (top right image), you will notice two men standing. They barely surpass the height of that tiny detail in that small corner of the roof. King Hassan II didn’t just commission a monumental mosque - he intentionally used the project to revive, preserve, and modernize Morocco’s traditional crafts which were endangered in the 80’s. This project revived traditional apprenticeship chains and centuries old technical methods/knowledge. All while advancing and adapting it to modern engineering and unprecedented scales. Some also suggest he tackled rampant unemployment, while reviving domestic supply chains and industries.
Completed in 1993 as king Hassan II’s monumental gift to Casablanca. A city he thought was lacking in spiritual essence. He said, “I wish Casablanca to be endowed with a large, fine building of which it can be proud until the end of time ... I want to build this mosque on the water, because God's throne is on the water. Therefore, the faithful who go there to pray, to praise the creator on firm soil, can contemplate God's sky and ocean.” It took 6,000 traditional craftsmen 5 years to complete the Zellige tiling all over the mosque. And the effort of 35,000 men totalling 50 million hours of labour to complete the mosque. The ceiling of the great hall sits at a height of 60 meters with 40 meter high arches below. To help visualize, you can basically fit a 20 story building beneath the carved ceiling. That also means it’s tricky to notice people standing inside. If you look to the bottom left of this image, you’ll notice a man in white standing there.
