Explore a beautiful Chinese scroll through this immersive video! The painting depicts the forest near Mount Baiyue (now Mount Qiyun) in eastern China, and was made in 1623 by Xiang Shengmo pic.twitter.com/ErosrZrrgW

That is seriously impressive...
We should have a culture corner sticky I think - stuff like this is always uplifting...
That’s 118 seconds of my life that I will never get back. You’ve been living in Cheltenham too long #southernsoftie
Reminds me of going on the jungle boat down Barry Island when I was a kid.

Included it in the post Baloo
You've been watching your "We are The Royals" video too much Pearcey. It's warped your appreciation of anything tastefully produced.
Good idea. I get stuff like this on my Twitter feed now and again. I'll post them from time-to-time and hopefully others will too. Hopefully we won't get Pearcey interfering demanding topless darts videos or such like.
Wow that was very good , clever stuff and so serene.
Just seen a cracking topless darts video.
No idea on that. But it's great for bringing to life the scene the original artist must have been looking at around 400 years ago. And also views of the scene even he/she would not have had access to.
Takes me back to Live TV in the 1990's.
They also had stripping weather girl and a game of two scarves.
That was very good. It reminded me of this film by Kurosawa :

Yes, nicely done that.
It's a random thread this, but I came across this photography from Jose Lourenco this week. Nice to look at I think.
FFS Baloo. You need to get a grip. Are you off to the ballet tonight?
I've noticed you can't keep away from this thread Pearcey. Unfortunately you'll need to start your own for mud wrestling, dwarf tossing and people setting light to farts.

Very highly recommended Radio 4 series available via podcast:

Absolutely incredible series for those interested in history and mankind.
Thanks for this. Was just listening to the episode about the origins of literature and science and the 'Flood Tablet' from 7th Century BC Mesopotamian which parallels and pre-dates the Noah story in the bible. Showcasing how a common pool of legend and myth was drawn upon by ancient peoples who held very different beliefs. The plant of life stealing, talking snake also makes an appearance in the Gilgamesh epic from around that same period I believe.
It's pretty clear that at some point in the past, a major floor did occur, if only because most of the world's cultures have myths about it. Lots of people like to link this to the Zanclean flood, when the Atlantic breached the land gap (in the region of Gibraltar) and flooded the Mediterranean area. However, this happened over 5m years ago, when people weren't around, and also, why would far eastern cultures have a flood myth based on the Mediterranean?
Around 4,000 years old, this Gold Cape wouldn't look out of place in the Ancient Egypt collection at the British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collec.../H_1836-0902-1
It was discovered in Mold, North Wales. We might not have found great temples, palaces nor cities but findings like this provide new insights into the societies of prehistoric Britain, which clearly had centres of significant wealth, traded internationally and produced fine works of art and design.
LMAO
