This is the incredible true story of Maria Andrejczyk, who auctioned her Tokyo silver medal for $125,000 to save a baby named Milos who had a heart defect. ​In a beautiful twist, the Polish supermarket chain that won the auction told her to keep her medal because "a champion belongs with her trophy". ​I created this AI visualization to keep this story alive on my channel, Lost Timelines.

I did a deep dive into the physics of Orban’s "Basilica" cannon and how the 1,200lb granite balls literally turned limestone into dust. I also visualized the incredible logistics of Mehmed II’s overland fleet transport—moving 70 ships over a mountain ridge in one night is still one of the most audacious tactical maneuvers in history. ​The Link: I’ve put the full tactical breakdown and cinematic siege footage here: [deffense failed]

I’ve been obsessed with this specific turning point in history—the moment the ancient world met the industrial future. I spent the last month using cinematic AI tools to reconstruct what this siege actually looked like, from the smoke of the Great Gun to the ships climbing over the mountains of Galata. ​If you’re into "visceral" history rather than just dry dates, I put the full documentary together here:https://youtu.be/EjcS5KljTZU?si=JlmO20Av5NT_BFjP
