#onthisday in 1632. Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer is born. He was a Baroque Period painter, who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. Some of his famous pieces: Girl with a pearl earring (1665). View of Delft (1660-1663). @ArtistVermeer @andreitr
#onthisday in 1961. The Soviet Union tests the 'Tsar Bomba' over an island in the Artic Ocean. It was the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated. ~1500 times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Japan during WW2 combined. @wellerstein More details: youtube.com/watch?v=BBNhYO…
SYMBOL OF WESTERN CIVILISATION The Parthenon is a temple that was dedicated to the Goddess Athena, patron of Athens. Built in the 5th century BC. It is one of the most recognisable monuments in the world, and, given Athens' links with democracy, a symbol of that too. 🗳️🗳️
WHAT IS THE ACROPOLIS OF ATHENS? It is a natural raised area in the city of Athens (~150 metres above sea level). Some of the most famous classical ruins in the world are here, including the 'Parthenon'. 🏛️
#onthisday in 1960 Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali) wins his 1st professional fight..🥊🥊 He defeats Tunney Hunsaker on points in 6 rounds. He would become a 3 time world heavyweight champion, with a pro record of 56-5. @MuhammadAli @KevinI @HniaziISF
PATRON OF ATHENS The Goddess Athena is who Athens is named after. She was the Goddess of Wisdom and War. 🧠⚔️ Statue of Athena:
WHERE IS ATHENS? Athens is located in a region known as 'Attica'. Attica was the access route to the Peloponnese, via the Isthmus of Corinth.
#OnThisDay in 1886, The Statue of Liberty is officially dedicated, by President Grover Cleveland, on Bedloe's Island (renamed Liberty Island in 1956). The statue is a gift from the people of France to the people of the U.S.🗽🇺🇸 @StatueEllisNPS @StatueEllisFdn @StatueCruises
❗️❗️NEW TOPIC❗️❗️ Now that we have dealt with Sparta, we will now move onto the city state of Athens this week 😍🏛🇬🇷
Hey everyone! Sorry about the lack of tweets, I was on holidays in Italy for the last week 🇮🇹 I had the best pizza of my life so far on the island of Capri! 🍕 Also visited the Amalfi coast! 😍👇
#OnThisDay in 1962 The Cuban Missile Crisis begins. President John F. Kenney is shown images of nuclear missiles being setup in Cuba. The world came hazardously close to nuclear war. Khrushchev, Castro and Kennedy:
This canal cuts through the isthmus of Corinth, the narrow piece of land between the Peloponnese and mainland Greece, that we tweeted about earlier this week! So pretty 😍😍 👇👇👇

TOMB OF LEONIDAS Tomb thought to be located of modern day Sparta.
KING LEONIDAS OF SPARTA Probably the most famous Spartan King. Led the Spartan 300 at the Battle of Thermopylae. Statue at Thermopylae:
WHY 2 KINGS OF SPARTA? Aristodemus, 1st ruler of Sparta descended from Heracles, had twin boys. 👦👦 The elder son as to be heir, but the mother did not know who was older. The oracle at Delphi said that both should become Kings.👑👑
ONE KING NOT ENOUGH? Despite the equality of every Spartan, paradoxically they still had a monarchy, of not only 1 King, but 2 Kings. 👑👑
#onthisday in 1844 German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is born. My favourite Nietzsche quote: "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." @PureNietzsche
