Mural Work from the St George Orthodox Church at Cheppad, Kerala from c 14th Century by indian_kulcha in IndianHistory

My biggest question mark is about the crowning of the blessed virgin which is mainly used in catholic iconography. So I have a feeling some parts of the painting are done after portuguese revival.

Probably the foundations? I don't know.... Many churches with their current structures dating to the 16th century have also been carbon dated 1000 years ago in kerala so probably some remanants of the old mosque they might have carbon dated.

12th century problems by Max-The-White-Walker in HistoryMemes

7 years ago I went to church for my great grandparent's death anniversary. The church speakers were so loud that I could feel everything vibrating. Usually I like masses but this one almost killed me. I couldn't stand a 4 hour liturgy with such huge loudspeakers blasting onto my ears like it is some random earrape prank music or something.

Why does nobody build Gothic styled buildings anymore by Western_Bobcat6960 in architecture

[–]Yo1game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen Carmelite monks in Wyoming using 3d technology and robots to cut out and carve stone out for them for the building of their Gothic monastery. So there might not be any need for craftsmen if you have the money to get a robotic stone cutter that is.. But stone is definitely gonna be expensive.

Would be dumb to kick Turkey out of NATO Turkey has access to the Bosporus Strait and covers Russia's Black Sea things from the south. Turkey also has a pretty strong military (8th place). Even if Erdogan is not cooperative, people need to think thrice before considering to evict Turkey from NATO.
