      Now tell me these folks weren’t doing a shitload of mushrooms back in the day

    2. 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.

    5. This was hand-crafted in 1611 and I can’t even tile my bathroom evenly.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    6. What an enriched design. I like how the pattern explosively irradiates from the inside outwards.

      Another incredible piece of history that will end up getting destroyed by warmongers.
