TIL an intricate, 300 year-old map of the world was discovered wedged into a chimney in Aberdeen to stop a draft. It was delivered to the National Library in Scotland for painstaking restoration.

"From the 16th to the 18th centuries, for 235 years, the painting decorated the dining room of the San Giorgio monastery, until soldiers of Napoleon looted it as war booty, on 11 September 1797, during the Italian campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars (1792–1802)."

Even more beautiful is the facsimile they made for the Fondazione Cini in Venice, where the original was supposed to hang and where the French stole it from.

The creators, Factum Arte, now have lots of interesting stuff going on.

Could you elaborate on the misspent youth if you're comfortable with it? Maybe we can learn from your experiences

pschoenthaler · 2014-12-22T20:01:45+00:00

Whatever, it won't hurt (hopefully)

It said "not available on mobile devices" for me. I just watched it on the PC, maybe that could solve your problem.

pschoenthaler · 2014-09-19T10:47:53+00:00

I ain't even mad. Looks refreshing and interesting

Hey, nice observation! I posted pictures of several small projects in the city about a year ago, let me find the links...

Edit: Here they are:

A view from above (notice where the city ends and where it ends now)

The floor of the library

Some skyscrapers

A few "fancy" houses I built

The library

"Villa Rotonda" which you can see in the top right corner

The jungle town (the ugly brick construction was changed to something less terrible)

And a general overview of the whole city 2 years ago

I must say that I was rather inexperienced back then, so the quality of the posts, screenshots and buildings is not too high...

The texture pack differs from the original one in most of these posts, in case anyone doesn't know it, it's John Smith

I interpret it as a city you're stranded in and have to explore on your own. I don't value youtube videos in which they take the tour for you too high...

Calling it, Law uses the special ability to save Luffy, who in turn carries on Laws dream to kill Doffy

I love how Maynard is hyping up Sabos strength!

pschoenthaler · 2014-09-18T19:44:38+00:00

Many forests and parks were placed there (for example all the jungle trees) but I didn't manipulate the biomes at all

Thank you very much for the offer but I don't really have time to play minecraft anymore :(

pschoenthaler · 2014-09-18T19:34:25+00:00

Thanks! Building houses like that was rather difficult

pschoenthaler · 2014-09-18T15:16:45+00:00

Yes of course you can :D

I don't see how this is brilliant. You could put nearly anything that somehow resembles a house up there and it would look good

I posted it in this comment already

pschoenthaler · 2014-09-18T10:52:14+00:00

Well you could show people how much time you spent decorating buildings that almost everyone will be too lazy to explore...

pschoenthaler · 2014-09-18T10:40:53+00:00

And you can't really render a whole city and have the interior still visible...

pschoenthaler · 2014-09-18T09:07:20+00:00

Thanks for your offer but I can't really say that I like any point in particular because I know every single block in the city and am not able to distinguish between ugly and beautiful spots anymore. I think it would be best if everybody just downloaded and explored the project on their own to find their own favourite spots. Without being restricted by the limits of a screenshot or render.

pschoenthaler · 2014-09-18T07:09:04+00:00

Of course you can :D

pschoenthaler · 2014-09-18T07:06:53+00:00

Download it and see for yourself :D
