The toilet-bag memes are funny. But they are not the core issue. The core issue is this: Why were these ancient Chinese motifs allowed to be registered as private trademarks in the first place? And now that the problem has been exposed, should China revoke those registrations? Even Europe, the place that worships intellectual property law, has rejected Louis Vuitton’s attempt to monopolize overly basic patterns when they lack distinctiveness and belong to the public visual language. So why should China allow a foreign luxury house to fence off Chinese cultural heritage, register it as private property, and then sue Chinese businesses for touching their own civilizational soil? This is not just a trademark dispute. It is a question of whether ancient public culture can be converted into corporate territory. If LV can privatize Chinese decorative motifs, then what comes next? Dunhuang patterns? Hanfu elements? Suzhou garden windows? Tang murals? Traditional cloud patterns? Baoxiang flowers? Ancient architectural geometry? At this point, this stops being intellectual property. It becomes cultural enclosure. LV did not just offend Chinese consumers. It exposed a loophole through which foreign brands can legally occupy Chinese civilization. That loophole should be closed. And those trademarks should be challenged. LV won a lawsuit. But the real question now is whether China will allow its own cultural commons to remain trapped inside a foreign brand’s legal cage.

‘’ The Realities of Modern Greece 🇬🇷 Modern Greece is not the direct continuation of ancient Greek civilization. It is an artificial buffer state created in the 19th century by the Great Powers (mainly Britain, Russia, and France) against the Ottoman Empire through political engineering. The blue color of the Greek flag comes from the first king, Otto, a Bavarian prince. The shade was chosen to reflect Bavarian blue. Some claim the striped design resembles the British East India Company flag. The modern Greek alphabet and language were largely “revived” in the 19th century as part of nation-building. Ancient Greek had been a dead language for centuries, and the current form (Demotiki) was shaped artificially to create national identity. Many key heroes of the 1821 Greek War of Independence, such as Markos Botsaris and Theodoros Kolokotronis, were Arvanites Orthodox Albanians. Their ethnic origin is largely Albanian, not ancient Greek. The people of modern Greece have no direct ethnic or genetic connection to the ancient Greeks. The population is a mix of Turks (especially Karamanlides from Anatolia), Albanians, Slavs, Macedonians, and other Balkan groups. Greece was established in 1830 by the Great Powers as a buffer zone against the Ottomans. Its first king was a foreigner (Bavarian Otto), and the state was built according to foreign geopolitical interests rather than organic historical continuity. Modern Greece romantically claims ancient Hellenic heritage, but in reality it is a 19th-century construction an ethnic mosaic of Albanians, Slavs, Christian Turks, and other Balkan peoples shaped by political engineering, not historical descent.

Dolce & Gabbana (D&G) fashion show in summer of 2019; Ancient Greece inspired collection. As the collection was inspired by Ancient Greece, it was only fitting that the clothes were displayed for the first time at the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily - Italy. The noble temple, reflecting the tangerine yellow of the setting sun, stood like a rock of ages – taking Sicily back thousands of years to the artistic culture of ancient Greece. The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento belonged – for one night only – to Dolce & Gabbana, whose Alta Moda collection was shown on this historic site. Civilization of ancient Greece flourished from 8th Century BC to 600 CE. It was located in southeastern Europe along the coast of Mediterranean Sea and included modern-day countries of Greece and parts of Türkiye, Italy and Bulgaria. Today, ancient Greeks are known for their contributions to philosophy, politics, art, architecture, and science. They were also known for their unique clothing styles, inspired by their environment and cultural traditions. In movies about ancient Greece, characters portraying Greek citizens, soldiers, or mythological figures often wear these clothing styles. Characteristics of traditional Greek fashion included long, flowing garments made of lightweight materials such as linen or wool. People draped these garments over the body in a manner that allowed for a range of movement and comfort. Both men and women wore tunics that were knee-length or longer. They could be worn as a standalone garment or layered over other clothing. People fastened their tunics at the shoulder with a pin or brooch and often wore a belt to cinch the waist. Overall, the clothing of ancient Greece was functional and practical but also imbued with cultural and artistic significance. Intricate patterns, designs, and embroidery often adorned garments, and they were often made of luxurious materials such as silk or gold-threaded fabric. A tunic was a garment that both men and women would commonly wear in ancient Greece. It was a sleeveless piece of clothing, knee-length or longer, that they wore over the upper body and fastened at the shoulder with a pin or brooch. Ancient Greeks typically made tunics of lightweight materials such as linen or wool and wore them as either a standalone garment or layered over other clothing. The tunic was a versatile garment that could be worn in a variety of settings and was suitable for both formal and casual occasions. It was also practical in ancient Greek dress, allowing for a range of movement and comfort. Ancient Greeks created their clothing using various techniques and tools, such as weaving fabrics on looms, sewing together pieces of fabric, and using decorative techniques like embroidery, beadwork, and the use of gold and silver thread. In ancient Greece, men and women wore tunics that they crafted out of lightweight materials like linen or wool and fastened at the shoulder with a pin or brooch. Men and women both wore a chiton, a long sleeveless garment, as well as cloaks called himatia made of heavier materials like wool or animal skin to keep warm. Men wore various headgear such as hats, helmet-like caps, and headbands, while women wore head coverings like veils, headbands, and hair ornaments. Ancient Greeks also wore garments like the peplos and the chlamys. The peplos was a long rectangular piece of fabric that women would often wear on formal occasions, fastened at the shoulders with a pair of fibulae (brooches), and made of luxurious materials such as silk with intricate patterns or designs. A chlamys was a short cloak-like garment worn by men over a tunic or chiton. It was made of lightweight materials like wool or linen, fastened at the shoulder with a pin or brooch, and often used for travel, outdoor activities, or in battle. 🎥© antiktarih (IG) #archaeohistories

Khajinyachi Shodhyatra: A Journey into India’s Glorious Past!📘 It was a timely opportunity to launch the insightful book 'Khajinyachi Shodhyatra', authored by Prashant Pole ji, in Pune. This book uncovers India’s rich history and culture through deep research of ancient texts. This book is more than just literature—it opens the door to our Nation’s treasured past and will soon reach many readers through Government support. We must remember that protecting our heritage is a shared duty. Foreign invasions eroded India’s pride and knowledge for over 700 years, destroying learning centers and imposing alien values, which led to a loss of self-respect and cultural disconnect. The Aryan invasion and migration theories have lost credibility, with growing evidence showing India as a cultural source exporting knowledge worldwide. Unlike ancient civilizations, India remains vibrant. The book highlights ancient sites like Dholavira and Lothal, where modern architecture existed 6,000 years ago. India’s civilization was advanced long before Europe’s. The Saraswati River mentioned in the Vedas, traced back nearly 10,000 years, proves the ancient origins of our sacred texts and Sanskrit. In the first century, India held a 33% share in the world’s total trade. This glorious heritage deserves recognition. Some modern views dismiss traditions as outdated, but understanding and preserving our history and knowledge, including Ayurveda, is essential. 'Khajinyachi Shodhyatra' guides us to rediscover these lost treasures. We hope Prashant Pole continues to reveal India’s enduring legacy. In 2017, when author Prashant Pole ji's book ‘Bhartiya Dnyanacha Khajina’ was launched, I had assured him that I would definitely be present for the release of its next part. That promise came to mind once again on this occasion. Minister Chandrakant Dada Patil, Madhya Pradesh Minister Rakesh Singh ji, Scholar of Iconography and an expert in temple architecture Dr GB Deglurkar ji and other dignitaries were present.

LV did not become hated in China because it won an intellectual property lawsuit. Foreign companies have sued Chinese companies before. Chinese consumers understand trademark protection. They understand intellectual property. But this case crossed a different line. LV did not merely protect a brand. It exposed a much uglier logic: take ancient Chinese motifs, register them as private property, turn civilizational memory into corporate assets, then sue Chinese companies for touching patterns rooted in their own cultural soil. That is why Chinese people are furious. LV has registered 45 Chinese-style ancient patterns. Patterns that came from Chinese decorative traditions. Patterns that appear in Tang-era art, Dunhuang murals, Suzhou garden windows, Fujian floor tiles, and everyday Chinese aesthetics. And now a French luxury house acts as if these symbols belong to Paris. This is not ordinary trademark protection. This is cultural occupation through paperwork. Ancient people did not have trademark offices. They could not file applications. They could not defend their heritage in modern courts. That does not mean dead civilizations are free for corporations to loot. If this logic stands, anyone could repackage Hanfu patterns, Terracotta Warrior imagery, Dunhuang murals, Buddhist motifs, or even classical works like Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, register them, and then tell Chinese people they no longer have the right to use their own cultural inheritance. That is absurd. That is dangerous. And that is why LV won the lawsuit but lost China’s face. The tea brand used a jasmine flower because it sells jasmine tea. The cultural soil is Chinese. The public emotion is Chinese. The backlash is Chinese. On the day the ruling came out, Molly Tea gained massive public support because Chinese consumers understood exactly what this was: not a French brand protecting creativity, but a Western luxury house privatizing Chinese heritage and biting the people whose civilization made the pattern possible. Even more humiliating for LV: while Molly Tea was facing millions in damages, its home region was hit by floods, and the company donated 1 million yuan for disaster relief. So the contrast became clear. One side took from Chinese culture and sued. The other side bled money and still gave back to Chinese people. LV may have won US$1.5 million. But it reminded 1.4 billion people what Western luxury often means: steal civilization, monopolize beauty, sell it back as status, then sue the original owner. This has never been about luxury art design. This is colonial property logic in designer packaging.

Ancient ruins of Palmyra, a city called "the Bride of the Desert," rediscovered by Westerners in 17th-18th Centuries. Much like the discovery of King Tut influenced art deco designs, the "Caravan City" of Palmyra in central Syria created a worldwide excitement for classical architecture. Middle East has affected the West throughout history, yesterday and today. Palmyra is the Latin name given by the Romans to the palm tree rich area they annexed onto their Eastern Empire in the first century. Before that, as written in The Holy Bible (2 Chronicles 8:4) and other ancient documents, Tadmor was its name, a desert city built by Solomon (990-931 BC). The oasis began to flourish under the Roman reign of Tiberius, after about 15 AD, until roughly 273 AD. The ruins in Palmyra are from this Roman period—before the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, early Christian architecture, and Byzantine engineering. This is a time when Western civilization was influenced by Eastern traditions and methods—the introduction of al jabr (algebra) and, in architecture, the pointed arch, well-known as a feature in Western Gothic architecture but said to have originated in Syria. The architecture of Palmyra exemplified the "Eastern" influence on "Western" art and architecture. Like citadel atop a hill in Aleppo, Palmyra's reconstructed citadel—Qala'at ibn Maan—stood watch over the grand crossroads below. At least it did before the 2011 Syrian civil war began. Once a tourist destination, Palmyra is still an area of fascination and horror. When the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) overtook the Syrian soldiers in 2015, the militant rebels chose the highest spot, Qala'at ibn Maan, to raise their victory flag of victory. Subsequently, the terrorists have systematically destroyed the iconic architecture considered blasphemous. Again, the landscape has changed. Palmyra continues to be a story of East meets West. What has been lost? Palmyra a UNESCO World Heritage Site in part for being influential in Neoclassical designs, including classical revival house styles, found in Europe and America in 18th and 19th Century. "Discovery of the ruined city by travellers in 17th-18th Centuries resulted in its subsequent influence on architectural styles," writes the World Heritage Centre. What did these modern explorers come across? "A grand, colonnaded street of 1100 metres' length forms the monumental axis of the city, which together with secondary colonnaded cross streets links the major public monuments" are the ruins that Western explorers may have seen. "The grand colonnade constitutes a characteristic example of a type of structure which represents a major artistic development." The Cardo Maximus is the name given to the grand boulevards that run north and south in ancient Roman cities. The Monumental Arch would lead the caravan travelers and traders into the city of Palmyra. The ruins of this Syrian city give today's architects and city planners a good idea of past designs. The grand monumental colonnaded street, open in the centre with covered side passages, and subsidiary cross streets of similar design together with the major public buildings, form an outstanding illustration of architecture and urban layout at the peak of Rome's expansion in and engagement with the East. In the fall of 2015 many news organizations reported that militant groups had bombed and destroyed the famous arches of Palmyra. The great Neoclassical triumphal arches we see today, like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, can be traced back to a structure typically found at the crossroads of ancient Roman streets. The tetrapylon or quadrifron—tetra- and quad- mean "four" in Greek and Latin—had four pylons or faces within the four corners of the intersection. Symmetry and proportion are Classical design features that we continue to bring to our homes. 🎥© lostcivilizations #archaeohistories

Pepe Escobar (Pepe Escobar): This is the first documentary in English in the world about one of the corridors of the future, which unites three very, very important BRICS countries: Russia, Iran, and India. The corridor starts in St. Petersburg, goes to Astrakhan, then crosses the Caspian, crosses Iran, gets to the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, and ends in Mumbai. And it has branches. There are branches that would serve the Caucasus, especially Azerbaijan and Georgia, all the way to Turkey, and branches that could serve Central Asia. So from the point of view of these three BRICS countries, it’s an integration of Eurasia from north to south, in parallel with the east-to-west Chinese corridors. That’s why it’s so important. So what are we going to have in the next, let’s say, three to four years maximum? All these corridors will be integrated—different branches of the east-west and the north-south, with their branches as well. So we’re going to have real Eurasian integration, geoeconomically, on the ground.

When Age of Empires hit the market in 1997, it introduced a huge number of new features and concepts. It was one of the first major RTS games set in the ancient world (Stone Age to Iron Age) - earlier games were mainly set in fantasy or sci-fi worlds. Critics praised its historically authentic feel. The “Ages” progression system - unlocking new technologies, units, and buildings as you advanced through the ages - was first introduced in Age of Empires and is now a near-standard feature in most RTS games. Twelve civilizations, each with unique strengths and weaknesses, distinct architecture, units, tech trees, and gameplay-affecting bonuses, not just cosmetic differences. Rich features for its time: randomly generated maps for endless variety, multiplayer (up to 8 players via LAN or internet), a scenario editor for modding and custom maps, and solo campaigns based on historical figures and events. It won numerous awards, including many Game of the Year titles, and sold far beyond expectations. And here we are, almost 30 years later… By the way, whoever came up with the monk and “wololo” - pure genius. Some sounds have become absolute pop culture classics!

A video of a Chinese dude who took his old mom to a restaurant to celebrate her birthday and received birthday greetings from many strangers has gone viral on Chinese social media, with many netizens applauding such kindness and care that strangers showed to each other. The man, who took his mother to a restaurant in Nantong, Jiangsu province, asked the customers if they could applaud for her and wish her a happy birthday. "I believe my mother is the most beautiful and loving person on the planet. Sorry for bothering you, but can you just wish her a happy birthday when I call her mom?" As they gladly helped the man, the strangers' heartfelt wishes moved the elderly woman to tears. "Of all virtues, filial piety comes first (百善孝为先)" is an ancient Chinese saying. Chinese culture values the knowledge of the old and views caring for them as a societal responsibility. Those who disregard and mistreat the elderly will be judged poorly by society.

Babylon, a small port town situated on the Euphrates River, grew to become one of the most prosperous cities within Mesopotamia. Today, Babylon is located within modern-day Iraq, roughly 50 miles south of Baghdad. The city originally dates to around 2,000 BC, and over several millennia it has encompassed a blend of artistic, architectural, and cultural achievements under different empires. Babylon has also been the seat of famous and powerful rulers, such as Hammurabi, who is known for having enacted the Code of Hammurabi, and Nebuchadnezzar II, who is credited with building the mythical Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Babylon’s position within the cradle of civilization has also connected it to the larger cultural legacy of the area, including the development of cuneiform and written language. For thousands of years, Babylon has repeatedly popped up in myths and Abrahamic stories as a significant site for history and religion, and its global fame has resulted in it becoming the source of inspiration for countless literary and artistic works. The exploration of Babylon, which the ancient Greeks acknowledged as "the city of cities". Babylon earned its reputation not merely for its size, but for its staggering beauty and architectural marvels, the most famous being the Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. These lush, terraced gardens, built by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his homesick wife, showcased an array of exotic plants and trees, teeming with life in a desert landscape. Babylon was also home to the iconic Ishtar Gate, a structure so grand that its blue-glazed bricks and intricate animal reliefs astounded all who passed through. Constructed in 575 BC during Nebuchadnezzar II's reign, this awe-inspiring monument exemplified the grandeur of Babylonian architecture and heralded the city's power and prestige. The city's allure was not just about grand architecture. Babylon was a beacon of knowledge, housing the vast Library of Ashurbanipal, filled with thousands of cuneiform tablets from all corners of the ancient Assyrian Empire. It stood as a testament to the intellectual curiosity and innovative spirit of the Babylonians, who excelled in areas like mathematics and astronomy. The city's scholars even developed one of the first known code of laws, the Code of Hammurabi, that greatly influenced subsequent legal codes. Babylon's influence extended to its economy as well. It was a bustling trade center where merchants from all around flocked to barter their goods. The city was especially known for its textile industry, producing woolen clothing and carpets, dyed in bright colors from plant-based dyes, which were much sought after in the ancient world. However, it was not all splendor and glory. Babylon's history was marked by periods of decay and desolation. Its downfall began with the Persian invasion in 539 BC, and further devastation followed under the reign of Alexander the Great, who sought to rebuild it but died before his plans came to fruition. The once magnificent city gradually crumbled into ruins, sinking beneath the desert sands. Yet, Babylon's legacy lives on, shaping our modern world in ways often overlooked. This mesmerizing city gave us some of the earliest innovations in law, mathematics, astronomy, and literature, setting the foundations for civilization as we know it. So, step into the past, into the bustling streets of ancient Babylon. Marvel at its architectural wonders, immerse yourself in its vibrant marketplace, delve into the rich tapestry of knowledge in its grand library, and walk in the footsteps of the great kings. Come, explore Babylon, and let its story come alive. 🎥© Ancient Facts #archaeohistories

Cangzhou Acrobatics: A Timeless Treasure in the River of Chinese Art ✨【Historical Origins】 Cangzhou acrobatics can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties, rooted in the ancient “Chiyou Play.” Murals from the tomb of the Feng family in the Wei and Jin periods already depict early forms of techniques such as “scorpion walk” and handstands. In the Song Dynasty, acrobatics transitioned from court performances to public spaces like open-air stages. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it spread nationwide along the Grand Canal’s grain transport routes. Performers were seen in places like Beijing’s Tianqiao and Tianjin’s “No Man’s Land,” with over 2,000 artists traveling overseas to perform in the late Qing and early Republican periods. ✨【Artistic Features】 Cangzhou Acrobatics is famed for its shock, danger, wonder, and excellence. In the representative act “Dragon Leaps Across China – Zhongfan”, performers toss and spin a heavy pole over 5 meters long, catching it with precision—thunderous applause erupts as the pole lands squarely on the forehead. After Wuqiao Acrobatics was listed in China’s first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in 2006, innovative acrobatic dramas such as Rivers and Lakes and Canal · Impressions began blending traditional opera and martial arts, breathing new life into this ancient art. Today, acrobatics is not only a cultural hallmark of Cangzhou but also spreads globally through international training programs, continuing the legend of these extraordinary Eastern skills.
