The Memory of Mankind project, founded by Martin Kunze, in 2012 aims to safeguard knowledge about human civilization from oblivion and collective amnesia. Information is printed on ceramic tablets, one of the hardest materials available, then stored in a salt mine in Austria. Ceramic markers, showing the location of the mine have been distributed to project participants. In case of Armageddon, the route to the archive also needs to survive.

Michelangelo's 'David' Statue sculpted between 1501-1504

2024-02-14 22:57:28 UTC

Perhaps one of the most famous sculptures/statues to have been created, This statue of the biblical 'David' by Michelangelo is considered to be a masterpiece of Italian renaissance sculpture and is an icon of the city of Florence. This is because it came to symbolise the defence of civil liberties embodied in the 1494 constitution of the Republic of Florence, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the political aspirations of the Medici family.
