🥇 Amazing Angkor Wat by Hive account@isdarmady

In the middle of the dense jungle of Cambodia, there is something precious, standing a masterpiece that surpasses human imagination. Angkor Wat, a giant temple city that is not just a building, but an architectural symphony built on human spirituality and intelligence. Built by the Khmer civilization in the 12th century, this temple is the pinnacle of ambition, belief and unmatched engineering in its time.

🥈 Inside Stalin's Secret Underground Propaganda Machine by Hive account@namiks

Now don't expect a massive history lesson here. There's so much modern history to be unpacked surrounding this one small event that I have zero faith in my ability to correctly and respectfully run through it all here on Hive and in one post. But I'll try to summarise things in a way that it remains readable and interesting to everyone that is like me and likely has very little awareness of, well, anything from this region of the world. We all know of Stalin as a person within history. We all know about his contribution to defeating the Nazi's during the Second World War, as well as his participation in guiding the USSR forward over the span of three decades and leading up to its supposed golden age through the 1950s to the 1980s. But did you know that Stalin was such a fundamental pawn within the distribution of communist ideology throughout much of the world from the very start of the 1900s?

🥉 A visit to Tabor and the Old castle above Lasko, Slovenia by Hive account@jelenaa

During our stay in Lasko, the thermal spa of Slovenia, in addition to bathing in the thermal water, we also used the time for a walk. My kids weren't too thrilled about it because they preferred to spend time at the pools of the hotel where we were staying, but we convinced them to visit some historical places. 😊 On the second day of our stay, rain was forecast for the afternoon, so in the morning we headed to the old town of Lasko, known as Tabor, located on the top of Lasko with stunning views above.
