The ceiling of Shah Mosque in Isfahan, Persia(1611), featuring a mesmerising array of geometrical tessellations and radial designs. The patterns are meticulously planned, with each tile cut to fit into the celestial design. [1317×1080]

I just know this looks even crazier in person

Someone did DMT
So much effort, it’s beautiful
Now tell me these folks weren’t doing a shitload of mushrooms back in the day
Soo Beautiful👌🏼
And Persia is Iran today if you ever asked
Crazy to think this would have been wiped out from existence today if the ceasefire didn’t go through
Isreal has already partially destroyed it. Don’t believe it will survive the next six months. Isreal is gonna destroy it completely.
Looks like the inside of a kaleidoscope.
… or a DMT trip.
I mean that in no disrespect, of course. The point is that it looks like something mathematically abstract.

This was hand-crafted in 1611 and I can’t even tile my bathroom evenly.“
What an enriched design. I like how the pattern explosively irradiates from the inside outwards.
My brain just short-circuited staring at that.
I think the word I have for this is “reverence” 🤩
Another incredible piece of history that will end up getting destroyed by warmongers.
