@Rainmaker1973 This is the most idiotic post I ever read, first blueprint only 5,000 years ago. Ridiculous.

The first known blueprint can be traced back to the ancient civilization of the Sumerians, who made significant advancements in architecture and urban planning. Around 5,000 years ago, they developed a house plan featuring a central courtyard, which is considered as one of the earliest blueprints in human history. The ground plan of a residence in Umma, a Sumerian city, showcases this design and provides insight into their architectural techniques. This blueprint served multiple purposes. It provided an open area for gathering, socializing, and conducting various household activities. Additionally, it allowed for better ventilation and natural lighting within the living spaces. The courtyard design also offered a sense of privacy, as the surrounding walls shielded the inhabitants from the outside world.

Deep in the Volgograd region of Russia, Boris, or “Boriska” to his mother, was born on January 11, 1996. Even from birth, he was different from other babies. Boris’s mother says that her child’s birth was swift and painless and that when she held her precious baby, he looked up at her with what she recalls as the big brown eyes of a grown adult. He could immediately focus on objects, which is usually impossible for a newborn. As Boris grew, he continued to display feats of intelligence that shocked them. According to his mother, Boris was beginning to speak at 4 months of age, and by 8 months, he was speaking basic sentences. For reference, most babies don’t even say their first word until the ages of 9 to 12 months. The next extraordinary milestone for Boris was reading basic sentences at a year of age, and it was then that his parents noticed their child had what they described as psychic abilities. Their one-year-old child was now painting and drawing, and the first inklings of what he would later claim to be his Martian origins appeared. Boris grew, and as the years went by, his interest in space, astronomy, and other celestial subjects increased by leaps and bounds. His parents would later say they never went out of their way to teach their son anything about space but that he brought up the subject all on his own. Little Boriska started kindergarten at the tender age of only 2, but he was already displaying high-level reading and writing skills that made it easy for him to fit in with the older children. Before long, he would reveal his identity as a Martian in his past life, using his incredible knowledge about space to convince even disbelievers about his claims.

This is a real place. It is a housing estate called Les Espaces d'Abraxas, built near Paris in 1982. And it's one of the most important buildings in the world...

‘Cycling Home’ by one of my personal favourite artists Simon Palmer. He’s a Yorkshire artist born in Sheffield but he moved up the Dale to live and paint the places around and about. Traditional paintings. Lovely
