The Great Ziggurat of Ur has towered over the Iraqi desert for over 4,000 years. Sun-dried mud bricks, bound with natural bitumen (asphalt), reinforced with woven reed mats to stop cracking, one of the earliest examples of smart engineering in human history. Ancient builders were on another level. (clip by iggs89)

Lebanon has just installed one of the largest statues of Jesus Christ the Redeemer in the Middle East, rising from the Mountain of the Cross in El Qaa. On March 14 the project reached a defining moment with the installation of the statue’s head. Even as tensions and bombardments continue in the region, construction has pushed forward, driven by the determination of the local community. Standing on the hills of Lebanon, the figure of Christ will watch over the valley with a simple message to the world: hope still rises.

A Christmas tradition in Prague you’ve probably never heard of 🎄🎅 Every Advent season, a costumed lamplighter walks across Charles Bridge each evening, manually lighting the historic gas lamps, just like in the 1800s. Around 4:00–4:15 p.m., as dusk falls, the Vltava glows in fairytale light. 🎄✨ vid: ssoulwayy

Ever seen women beating wet cloth while singing Gaelic together? That’s called waulking. It’s an old Scottish Highland tradition where they’d soak the wool and beat it by hand to soften and strengthen it. This clip shows exactly how it was done back then, and how Outlander recreated that scene from season 1. If you’re around on 6th June, you can even try it yourself at the Highland Folk Museum. (clip from inveroutlanders)
