We are pleased to announce the launch of a new CURIOSity digital collection!
The Forgotten Cities: Thomas Jacoby Images of Early Christian Architecture in Greater Syria features a group of 700 historic settlements in Syria dating from the first to seventh century CE. The core of the collection are thousands of images taken by scholar Thomas Jacoby in the mid-1970s which provide valuable insight into the development and practice of early Christianity. Due to the ongoing civil unrest in Syria, the current condition of many of these sites is unknown, making these photographs an important record. Explore the collections.

Today I want to celebrate my birthday by sharing another post of one of my favourite elements of mother nature, one of the jungle secular trees. It stands solid and unflappable, thanks to his solid roots, well clasped to the soil and yet creating a beautiful pattern on the grounds making the scenery more beautiful and appealing. The branches and leaves are instead flexible free to swing at the rhythm of the winds and bend, in order not to break. I found this to be an incredible metaphor for the way we should live our life. 1)Have solid principles and strong values 2)React with creativity and an open mind to what life manifests to us... shit happens is how we react to it that matters. 3) always strive for beauty Happy life celebration, wherever you are, whatever you do! * * * * * * #meaningoflife #lifehack #archeologicalsites #mayanruins #yaxchilan #beautifulchiapas #chiapasmagicos #livingthelife #lifeprinciples #lifevalues #myjourneyacrosstheworld #amazingjourneys #happybirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMESjNi-MU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a41g0xo0aod3
