In de zeventiende eeuw lag aan de zuidoostkust van Texel de grootste ankerplaats ter wereld. De schepen die de Reede van Texel aandeden kwamen uit alle streken van de wereld. Soms lagen er dan ook wel honderd schepen voor anker!
1066, William the Conqueror takes England. Within a generation, something subtle happens to the English language that reveals everything about who eats what. The Anglo-Saxon peasants tend the animals. They use their words: cow, pig, sheep, deer, calf. These are the living…
Beautiful car. Myers, Fincher and Roy don't sound very Boer to me 😉
The Protea holds a special place in South African motoring history as the country’s first locally designed and built production sports car. It was a lightweight two-seater roadster developed and hand-built in Johannesburg by G.R.P. Engineering (Glass Reinforced Plastic…
How did the Industrial Revolution start? This photograph (left) was taken in 1886, it is a picture of the “Fairbottom Bobs”. The Fairbottom Bobs was a Newcomen Steam engine that was installed in 1760, to pump water out of a coal mine. This is the oldest existing photograph of…
I was lucky enough to visit Krakow with a Polish friend some years back. We went to Wawel Castle, where I saw a large painting showing a battle where the Polish repelled Turkish (Ottoman) invaders.
Reminds me of the mosque of Timbuktu, which is in the Sahel region. The mosque was built under Mansa Musa in the 1320s, with mud-brick walls and timber beams. It requires constant care and maintenance. Each year, before the rains, masons and residents re‑plaster its mud‑brick…
Nubian Vault is a really interesting group They build using traditional techniques in the Sahel as a way to reduce costs and rely on the entirely local knowledge and materials The bricks are made on site from local soil, the walls are earth and very thick, the vault does not…
You can tell this is a modern painting because artists weren’t great at painting lightning before photography. For example, Assche in 1806 and Vernet in 1772:
Not that surprising. Our ancestors used caves for shelter. They were already in the caves.
Strange to think that deep cave exploration is much more common and widespread than mountain climbing, historically There are some exceptions: the Inca climbed peaks for religious purposes (child sacrifice), the native Hawaiians climbed the volcanos on the Big Island for…
Terrible tragedy. The driver survived while 14 kids died. How does that happen? He must have swerved so that the truck hits the taxi from the side and not the front. These taxi drivers are out of control. We all see it every day, how they drive like reckless idiots while…
Een zestiende eeuwse gravure van Groningen (en omliggend platteland) 😍
Similarly you get Anglophile and Anglophobic Afrikaners. I'm firmly in the first group. Early 20th century Afrikaner resentment of the Anglos is understandable, but in 2026 it's outdated and counter productive. There is a large amount of goodwill between both groups and also a…
I think you could broadly categorized Anglo-SAns into 5 types: Afrophiles, Anglophiles (Souties), Afrikanerphiles, Topophiles, and Cosmopolitants. I hesitate to include the last one since it mainly describes something that isn't there so is maybe too broad.
We can't stop the masses from "decolonizing" everything back to the iron age, but we can build privately funded parallel structures largely out of the control of the state, where we can maintain our standards. That said, even private institutions without a clear charter and…
Great idea. Decolonised, pseudo-socialist African models of business have been SO successful...
What mindset built the Old World? This mindset:
Redeemed Zoomer is posting Afrikaner Reformed architecture, and you're blackpilling? The US is noticing and appreciating on levels we had no idea were possible
"Catholics have beautiful churches, Protestants don't!" Me: Yes we do! Here are a bunch "They were built by Catholics!" Me: no they weren't! "They stole the style from Catholics!" Me: No, here are some distinctives of Protestant architecture "But…
Spengler saw it as no coincidence that Gothic cathedrals resembled the great forests of Northern Europe. The prime symbol of Western culture (which began in those forests) is the perception of infinite space. A yearning to reach out of the darkness of the canopy to the light…
