2022-05-15 17:53:29 Medieval depiction of Mickey Mouse

The official birth of the Disney mouse Mickey Mouse is considered to be the day Steamboat Willie was shown on the screens in 1928. It was in this cartoon that the audience first saw the hero so beloved in the future. And who in their right mind could say that a cartoon could have been drawn over 700 years ago? But it's true.

This is as true as the fact that, along with the famous island of Malta, there is a town in Austria with the same name. It was in it that during the restoration of the local church they found a drawing of a mouse.

So, about everything in more detail. In Malta, an Austrian city located in the federal state of Carinthia, there is a church. It was built in the 13th century and is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Not so long ago, the local authorities decided to carry out repair work in the religious building, because of its rather respectful age.

These ancient mysterious bronze mirrors are called Chinese, although they have been found in Japan and Russia. However, most of these mirrors were found and are still found in China.

2022-05-07 08:21:00 The position of the Varangians in the early history of Russia can be briefly described - the Slavs paid tribute to them right up to the end of the reign of Yaroslav the Wise. It is clear that the one to whom you give your hard-earned money was somewhat disliked, which can be seen in relation to the Varangians of the Kyiv chroniclers.

In the same chronicles there is an interesting fact that is neatly missed in history - there is no evidence of a difference between the languages ​​u200bu200bof the Slavs and the Varangians.

2022-05-06 18:09:00 On the old German map of the 18th century, the Russian borders run along the Urals, despite the annexation of Siberia at the end of the 16th century. Maybe the Germans were wrong? Then both the Greeks and the Russians themselves made a mistake, erecting a monument "Grateful Russia" in memory of the events of the war of 1812

The first time is an accident, the second is a coincidence, the third is a pattern.
