🇬🇧Military parade takes over London — Britain celebrates VE Day VE Day is celebrated on May 8, but this year’s round anniversary means the celebrations will last several days. London’s commemorations began as Big Ben — the iconic clock and bell of Elizabeth Tower at the Houses of Parliament — struck noon, while excerpts from wartime leader Winston Churchill’s VE Day speech echoed across the capital. A military parade featuring members of the UK’s armed forces — along with Ukrainian troops invited to march in solidarity — proceeded from Parliament to Buckingham Palace. Watching from the Palace were King Charles, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and their three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

This is how South Africa works. The video attached shows a third-term member of parliament and leader of the EFF singing a song about killing people because of the colour of their skin and culture. He has been singing this song for the last 15 years and remains in parliament. I made a video 14 years ago using hyperbole to illustrate the double standards of racism, I specifically referred to the above politician and the singing of this song and demonstrated how hurtful the song is. Guess which one was removed from parliament...

The ancient city of Nimrud stood for 3000 years until 2015 It rose on the banks of the Tigris River in what is now northern Iraq, and by the ninth century BC it had become the capital of the Assyrian Empire, the most powerful state in the world... At its heart stood the Northwest Palace, its walls lined with enormous alabaster reliefs of the king at war, at the hunt, and among winged spirits, each carved with cuneiform proclaiming his conquests. Its gateways were guarded by the lamassu, colossal human-headed winged bulls set there to ward off evil, and a great ziggurat towered over the city, built to join the earth to the heavens. For nearly two centuries Nimrud was one of the wealthiest and most magnificent cities in the world, at the center of an empire that reached from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean. Even after the Assyrian Empire fell in 612 BC, its ruins survived, and remained buried for thousands of years... When European archaeologists uncovered them in the nineteenth century, Nimrud became one of the greatest archaeological discoveries ever made, revealing an entire lost civilization known until then mainly from the Bible. Then, in early 2015, the militant group ISIS, which had seized control of the region, destroyed the site. Using sledgehammers, bulldozers, and explosives, they demolished the Northwest Palace, shattered the reliefs, toppled the lamassu, and flattened the ziggurat. In November 2016, Iraqi forces retook the site, and it was later confirmed that around 90% of the excavated portion of city had been completely destroyed... What had survived for three thousand years was erased in a matter of weeks.

The Walls of Benin — The Largest Ancient Earthwork Ever Built The Walls of Benin, located in present-day Benin City, Nigeria, were an enormous system of defensive earthworks built by the Edo people of the Benin Kingdom. Construction began as early as 800–1000 CE and continued for hundreds of years. The Largest Man-Made Structure Before the Modern Era Archaeologists describe the Walls of Benin as the largest earthwork structure ever created by human hands prior to the modern age—surpassing the Great Wall of China in total volume of material moved, though not in length of a single continuous wall. Estimated total length of all walls/ditches combined: 16,000 km (about 10,000 miles) Total footprint: 6,500 km² enclosed area Estimated volume of earth moved: More than 100x the Great Pyramid of Giza.
