A grand abandoned palace, Poland.
Over centuries it passed between aristocratic owners, each reshaping it to suit changing tastes.
After a devastating fire in the 1800s, the palace was rebuilt in Neo-Renaissance style. Following World War Two it was taken over by the state and used as a school. The school closed around the early 2000s, leaving the palace abandoned.

Until about 20 years ago, it was widely believed that civilization began with the Sumerians around 7,000 years ago. However, the discovery of Göbekli Tepe, located on the border between Syria and Turkey, has dramatically altered our understanding of ancient history. The oldest remains of Göbekli Tepe date back at least 12,000 years, pushing back the timeline of human civilization by several millennia #civilization #gobeklitepe #histroy

@AnokheeTara @hastingsmothman I think most of my #Shakespeare knowledge comes from Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country and Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. I am a lover of #Histroy and #Walking too.
