Imagine you’re an art detective and your task is to explore the Mysteries behind the world’s most famous paintings I’m talking about works from Da Vinci Michelangelo Picasso so grab your magnifying glass as this journey is about to begin first off on your list is Rome after enjoying delicious pasta you head

To the cysteine chapel home to the world’s most famous ceiling oh and you know how they say Michelangelo painted the frescos lying down this is just a myth actually the painter created a complex system of platforms that allowed him to paint standing you’re checking out the creation of Adam that Fresco in

The middle the Italian artist Michelangelo the author of this masterpiece was widely known for his study of human anatomy art experts argue that the right part of the painting is an anatomically correct depiction of an enlarged brain to proof check this you try overlapping a picture of the organ and the artwork

It seems to be a match the cerebellum the optic nerve and the pituitary gland are all there even the floating green scarf thingy appears to match the vertebral artery some researchers think it was Michelangelo’s way of depicting knowledge and wisdom but you have to sleep on it to decide what you think

Moving on you catch a train and arrive in Florence time for a quick gelato break then straight to the Academia gallery one of Art’s most celebrated sculptures is waiting for you inside Michelangelo’s David David is a 17t tall marble wonder it was carved for about 3 years the mystery surrounding it is to

Figure out the statue’s true expression looking at him from below you’ll think his face is Serene and peaceful but art historians argue that this work was largely misunderstood apparently his body hides a very different story take take a closer look and you’ll notice his brows are frowning and the veins in his

Arms are popping out that doesn’t look too relaxed does it Michelangelo’s idea was to depict David right before an important confrontation so maybe he wasn’t all that Serene after all Italy is so rich in art you can’t leave just yet you’re still in Florence you pay a visit to the famous uii

Gallery many famous paintings are hosted by this Museum but you’re checking out belli’s Prima Vera or spring this artwork is mysterious from the get-go experts can’t say the exact year it was commissioned it remained Untitled for years until the painter gioro vasari finally came up with a name for it

Usually when critics and viewers admire this painting they focus on the figures in the foreground but in this case the actual work lies in that belli painted over 40 six different plant species with almost identical precision and oh in the painting overall these plant figures are repeated over 200 times

Unbelievable I’d say the last visits were full of Impressions weren’t they ready to keep going a plane ride later you arrive in Paris the City of Lights beray and the famous Mona Lisa you go through the museum de and come to Leonardo da Vinci’s Masterpiece l Yanda there are many theories regarding this

Work of art and you dive into some of them a strong case has been made that the Mona Lisa could be a self-portrait of Da Vinci himself historians have thoroughly compared Da Vinci’s face and that of the Mona Lisa and guess what they appear to be strikingly similar oh

And then there’s the smirk Theory dentist and Art Expert Joseph Bartowski claims to have discovered the secret behind Mona Lisa smirk he says her tight facial expression is a typical indication of someone who lost their front teeth could it be so also in 2010 the Italian committee for cultural

Heritage found a collection of symbols hidden in the painting these are only visible through highly technological magnifying lenses but they showed that Leonardo inscribed an LV inside Mona Lisa’s right eye experts guess that this is Da Vinci signature but the other symbols a c e in the left eye and a 72

In the arch of the background Bridge are still very mysterious phew you covered a lot of ground on this one ah of course at the end of your visit remember to test if her eyes really follow you around now you’re headed to Amsterdam to check out the reiches museum you came to

See a specific rembrand painting that hides a mysterious story The Night Watch is one of Rembrandt’s most famous paintings but experts argue that the name of the painting and its content are mismatched let’s take a closer look the painting depicts a large group ready to embark on a mission REM Brand’s

Technique is called Chia roscuro highlighting the contrast between light and shade until 1947 art critics believed the painter was depicting a nighttime scene but when the painting was cleared of a thick dust layer it became clear that the scene was happening in broad daylight with the sun

Streaming down from the top left now it’s too late to change its name to the day watch while in Amsterdam you find a museum dedicated to Van Go’s art did you know that he painted over 900 paintings during an impressive period of only 10 years anyway the van go Museum hosts the

Biggest collection of yellow sunflower paintings you’ll probably see in your life actually almost all of Van Go’s paintings featured dominant yellow Shades this particularity of his art may be a result of how he saw the world some art experts have speculated that one of Van Go’s remedies changed his color

Perception making him see more yellow around him okay so this trip just keeps getting better the next stop on your list is the United Kingdom then on to the National Gallery you may spend hours looking at Yan Von ik’s painting arnoldi portrait and not see anything out of the ordinary

In the foreground a couple holds hands and stares at the viewer but if you zoom in on the mirror on the wall you’ll see two more people in the room art experts say the male figure in the painting has his hands raised to greet these two

People seen in the mirror and that one of the figures is Von Ike himself oh and that’s not the only Watermark the painter left above the mirror you’ll see his flamboyant signature Yan Von Ike was here 1434 and speaking of people trying to sneak into their art Caravaggio the renowned Italian Renaissance painter

Left a little Easter egg in one of his famous paintings bakus this one is a bit difficult to spot in the half-filled jar in the bottom left corner of the painting there is a tiny self-portrait of the painter himself hidden amongst the liquid to see the image clearly one

Needs the help of sophisticated technology or at least a very efficient magnifying lens but it’s there a male figure AKA Caravaggio with a brush in his hand fun fact the tiny self-portrait was first noticed in 1922 over 300 years after the painting was completed it was forgotten due to poor

Conservation to finish the trip you fly overseas across the Atlantic all the way to Chicago the enormous collection of the Art Institute hosts a well-known painting by Pablo Picasso the old guitarist this painting secret is so well hidden that it also needs the help of X-ray machines and super fancy

Technology but the results are worth it the readings show that Picasso painted the old guitarist on top of another unfinished painting we can clearly see the outlines and shapes of a half-drawn female figure that Picasso gave up on midw work the emerging artists of the time used that way of saving money quite

Often as canvases were expensive this was quite a tiring World trip wasn’t it get some rest Sherlock of art on a rainy evening Adele returned home after a month-long vacation abroad she lived alone and her mother had been watching her cats the girl walked into the house turned on the lights and

Looked around after that she immediately called the police Why look there are wet footprints in the corridor they’re wet so it means they’re still fresh and they don’t belong to Adele because she just walked in there’s someone in her house keep your brain working because here’s another one Mrs carpenter has three daughters Ava Jane and Mia Ava is

Now twice as old as Jane will be when Mia turns as old as Ava is now who is the oldest daughter and who is the Youngest let’s rephrase it sometime in the future Mia will be as old as Ava is now and Jane will be half that age so obviously Ava is the oldest and Jane is the youngest Mrs Brown is a land lady of an apartment building with a no pet policy

Not even fish are allowed one night she heard a cat meowing the sound was coming from the floor above the next day she inspected two apartments in which apartment does the cat live look there’s a cat’s house in the corner of this apartment the cat must live

There Esme was having a walk in the forest and got lost after wandering around for a while she found a witch’s house and asked her to take her home the witch was busy with potions but she agreed to help Esme if the girl helped her first there were four ingredients

Which needed for the potion a few bugs a secret herb some magic powder and dried mushrooms the witch didn’t remember in what order she needed to add the ingredients but she remembered this what’s the correct Order there are four ingredients if the powder is added before at least two of them it means that it’s added either the first or second but since mushrooms should go before the powder then they’re added first followed by the magic powder then there should be the bugs and the secret herb comes last

Now I have a very special mission for you there’s a robber who steals famous paintings from galleries across the globe the police all over the world have been looking for the paintings which the robber hides in different places the police have managed to find the first secret place each painting is stored in

A chest with its replica generated by AI you can only take out one painting and after you take it out the chest will blow up together with the remaining painting painting so you have to choose carefully and recognize the original work of art at first glance here’s the

First chest it stores the Scream by Edward Munch and it’s a replica which one is the original this is the original now it’s The Starry Night by Vincent van go can you recognize the original it’s this one did you get it right in the next chest you’ll find the

Famous Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci you will probably recognize this one easily but the replica is very realistic so keep your eyes wide open yes this is the one and only Mona Lisa it goes back to the lou now in the fourth chest there’s another

Famous artwork by Vincent van go Cafe Terrace at night can you spot the original one here here’s the original have you saved the correct one and now it’s time for the last painting in the discovered batch it’s the old fisherman a painting by a Hungarian artist which painting should we

Save this is the one congratulations and thank you for your help we’ll let you know if other paintings are found a detective went on vacation to Spain but at night someone broke into his neighbor’s hotel room and stole all her valuables in the morning the detective analyzed the camera footage and came up

With three suspects they all agreed to answer some questions Jack said I arrived late in the evening and I was sleeping the whole night Allison said I went out at night I came to my room only a couple of hours ago Robert said I don’t know this woman I didn’t Rob her

Who should the detective Arrest arrest Jack he said he arrived late in the evening but then when did he get sunburned there’s no sun in the evening he must have spent more time in the hotel than he claimed Eliza went for a walk in a dark forest and she she found an old mansion

Of course she went there to see what was inside as soon as she entered the door behind her back got locked it was a magic house there were three exits but each of them seemed dangerous behind the first door there was a laser with a motion sensor behind the second door the

Floor was made of lava that burned anything that touched it behind the third door there was a huge herbivore dinosaur which way should Alisa choose to get out safely Alisa should pick the last entrance firstly dinos are extinct but even if there actually was one a herbivore dyo would only eat plants it wouldn’t be interested in a human Hannah was chilling at home drinking tea and reading when she heard a knock on the door she opened the door

And there was a stranger there oh sorry I must have confused the flaws I’ve just moved in sorry for disturbing you when the guy left Hannah called the police because she didn’t believe it was just a mistake why was he so Suspicious the problem was that the guy knocked if he had really thought it was his apartment he’d have tried to open the door with his keys good news police have discovered another batch of stolen paintings just like the previous one they are stored in chests each has a replica and only one

Can be saved are you ready to save some Art here’s the first one American Gothic painted by Grant Wood where is the original one here it is did you recognize it okay okay the second chest and that’s Girl With a Pearl Earring by Johannes vermier Can you spot the original girl here she

Is we all know the next one the Persistence of memory by Salvador Dolly it was stolen from the Museum of Modern Art in New York and we have to return it but which one this is a replica and this is the original did you save the right

One just two more left so stay alert in the fourth chest we have the Kiss by Gustaf climp as always you should decide which of the two is the original so what’s your call of course this is the one and it’s time to save the last painting the mysterious black Square by

Kazmir malovich can you find the original one it wasn’t easy but this is the one you need thank you for your help the paintings all go back to where they were stolen from Nikki participated in a game show and she won she won three exclusive gifts a Montclair jacket a viven

Westwood purse and a Ferrari but here’s a catch she is to pick her presents herself by choosing between the original and a replica will you help her pick the correct prize here are two Monclair jackets one of them is the original and the other is a replica which one should Nikki Choose this one it has the correct logo so it must be the original next two identical purses but only one of them is the original one from Vivien Westwood which One this one with the correct logo and finally a Ferrari let’s see if you remember their Logo yes this is the one great Job it’s one of the most important national monuments of the United States with over a half a million visitors each year the Washington Monument was constructed to commemorate George Washington the first American President but if you’ve ever looked at it closely in person or by Googling its pictures

You’ve surely noticed it has two different colors well it’s not a design choice if that’s what you’re wondering the Washington National Monument Society The Authority in charge of the construction ran out of f fing and the project was put on hold in the 1850s it took another 25 years for the

Authorities to resume the construction they finished the upper 2/3 of the monument in 1884 since they evidently used marble from a different location given the time that had passed it was difficult to Envision how these materials would behave in the future these two sections looked very much alike at first but with

Time mostly due to winds rain and erosion they ended up having different hues there’s even a third portion of marble which is noticeable only if you pay very close attention the constructors initially went for a marble provider in Massachusetts but quickly realized the colors didn’t match they

Had to switch to another supplier but their mistake resulted in this third shade of marble it’s only noticeable up front so people mostly think that the monument has two colors the builders figured out the difference quite fast and found a type of marble that resembled the initial one but the new

Material eventually turned to a different color too mostly to weather Conditions are you one of those people who like to spend their free time on Pinterest or Instagram in search of your next Travel location then you surely haven’t missed a little Italian town called chinu the reason why it’s so popular among photographers and Globe Trotters is its brightly painted buildings which

Come in a nice contrast to the crystal clear ocean waters these houses come in a huge selection of colors from green to yellow and even bright pink so it’s no wonder this location is such a hit it looks more like a painting than an actual place on Earth but why are these

Houses so gorgeously bright local Legends say that Fishers used to paint their homes in various colors so that they could quickly spot them from the water as they came back home from the sea now some other buildings come with coloring so specific that their inhabitants are prohibited from changing

It by law it’s the case of the pink City otherwise known as Jaipur in India it has numerous buildings of different Hues of pink from Dusty Rose to fuches this impressive coloring dates back to the 1800s rumor has it that the Indian Maharaja of the time saai Ram Singh

Wanted to welcome Prince Albert during his visit so he literally painted the whole town pink which of course begs the question why he chose pink and not any other color and it turns out this Hue was meant to subtly imply the idea of a welcoming location or a place of

Hospitality Jaipur isn’t the only monochrome city in the world its blue counterpart is located in Morocco it’s called Chef cha some locals say that the city is painted blue to symbolize the beautiful coloring of the Mediterranean Sea others consider that painting their houses blue keeps them cooler when it’s

ODOT there are even claims that painting a house blue can help keep mosquitoes away people believe that the Hue resembles the waves of the sea which isn’t a really desirable location for insects if you think about It now this construction has become the undeniable symbol of the City of Love ah the T fell I can smell a freshly baked bagette can’t you well it turns out the Eiffel tower has a little chromatic secret of its own this famous French Monument is painted Chestnut Brown these

Days but it hasn’t always been this color the engineer who built the Tower and also gave it its name was a man called Gustaf Eiffel he claimed that the initial paint used for the tower a very bright red was supposed to help protect the construction ction from rust kind of

Like the Golden Gate Bridge does in San Francisco but since it was built the Eiffel Tower has had many different Hues like ochre yellow and several shades of brown at one point they even used the omra paint effect it made the tower look as if it was fading upon reaching the

Sky I’ve hardly ever heard a more touching story than that of the Taiwanese rainbow Grandpa his name is hang Yong Fu and His Story begins in the late 2000s given he was officially the last resident the local authorities were just about to bring down his small

Village in order to make room for a modern apartment complex to cope with his Sadness the man started painting the walls of the houses in his village he began with drawings of birds cats and eventually people in 2010 a local University student found out about this little DIY project and the rest was

History with the help of a fundraising campaign this little village now attracts a staggering number of tourists each year over a million it’s no wonder the local authorities eventually renounced their plans while we’re on the subject of beautiful designs there’s a library out there that actually looks

Like a giant bookshelf no it’s not a scene from a fantasy movie somebody actually built that one of the facades of the Kansas City Public Library looks like an ordinary row of books lined up on a shelf well not really ordinary since the books are 20 5 ft tall and 9

Ft wide each you don’t need to be a book nerd to want to check this one out soon the world’s largest basket isn’t meant for overweight cats it’s actually a building yep there’s a building out there that is actually shaped like a basket you can find it in Newark Ohio it

Was initially built to serve as headquarters for the longo bger company an American producer of handcrafted wood baskets it’s also renowned among professionals as one of the best known examples of mimetic architecture that’s a type of design where buildings are constructed to mimic their function or purpose the building covers 180,000

Square ft it cost around $30 million to build and was completed in 1997 with seven floors and a central Atrium it also has a glass ceiling which lets natural light get inside this immense basket is also topped with two steel handles they’re equipped with heating elements that prevent them from

Freezing they also protect the glass Atrium sit situated right below from any ice that might fall on it during the winter season armad Germany there’s a residential building complex built in the 1990s named the vich spirala it has a wonderful design as well as an interesting story to back it up the name

Literally translates to Forest spiral this might refer to the plan of the building along with the fact that its roof is green not simply in color though this swirly building has a jaw-dropping forest on its roof with Maple and lime trees the unique construction was completed in 2000 it has 105 apartments

And more than 100 Windows each of them with its particular shape and size with 12 floors at its highest point the building also houses a cafe and a bar another interesting feature Each corner in the construction is rounded off now should you ever find yourself visiting the city of roddam in the Netherlands

Try not to miss the cube houses these unique buildings are are placed above ground level on top of a pedestrian bridge close to the city center and the Rotterdam black Metro station in the 20th century the city of Rotterdam was damaged that’s why later it became the focus of new Cutting Edge architecture

Designs Dutch architect Pete Blom started designing functional housing which could also leave some room for pedestrians on the ground level he got the idea for these houses from simple elements such as forests and trees each house is placed on a hex agonal pylon a construction made of concrete and

Designed to look like the trunk of a tree each of these pylons has a staircase that leads to Wells spaced living areas another example of a house that looks like it has just escaped from a fairy tale is the Nautilus house you can find it near Mexico City Mexico with

Its shell-like shape it’s also one of the first representations of bioarchitecture the man behind this unique design is Javier senos he was inspired by by The Works of gudi and Frank Lloyd Ry the very concept of bioarchitecture is that buildings should be constructed based on structures found

In nature it’s also supposed to remind people of their local history and traditions the Nautilus house doesn’t have a lot of storage space according to the builders but this structure is supposed to be earthquake resistant and maintenance-free not to mention hundreds of tiny rainbow colored stained glass windows decorating the

Building design shapes the world around us the chair you’re sitting on while watching this was carefully thought out by a designer the same goes with the table where your smartphone is right now some designs are just so ingenious we can’t help but be mesmerized by them

From simple to complex let’s have a look at some of them do you organize your bookshelf by genre alphabetical order or the color of book covers I think alphabetical order gives your house a library vibe to it even if you use these small branched shelves usually authors only put their

Last names on the book spine to make it easier for users to locate the book but the designer of this Ray Bradberry book had a clever idea he noticed that the name Ray is contained by the last name Bradberry and painted the letter R A and

Y in different colors on the spine this way both the first and last name of the author are highlighted what do you say yay or nay and speaking of books this George Orwell work has sold over 4 million copies the famous 1984 story Tells A Tale of surveillance and the creepiness

Of being constantly watched by a so-called big brother I’d say this cover pretty much Nails the content of the book in a genius way and it even references literature as a medium with the use of semicolons way to go to this designer if you haven’t been living under a rock

You’ve heard once or twice about van Go’s story no need to retell it here apparently this designer that was showcased at the gift shop of a van go immersive experience got inspired by the artist Story I mean look at this set of mugs would you give this to your beloved

So that one of you can be the ear and the other the bandage I’m not so sure if you ask me I think I prefer just a regular van go mug with his face on it what do clocks make you think of perhaps your mind goes straight to your

Grandma’s cuckoo clock like mine does I’d never say Bruce Lee would be a good idea for a clock this designer thought legs plus Bruce Lee plus elasticity equals Clockwork just kidding I mean it works for certain Tim stamps but not all definitely not all design can also be used as a tool

For raising awareness there are so many examples of great marketing campaigns but I’d say this one was pretty ingenious take a look at it before I give you any context can you guess what it’s raising awareness for do the repeating first syllables give you any hints this was an ad to fight

Discrimination against people who stutter made by the Dutch stutter foundation in 2021 neat huh in the cue for the best Billboard Award is this piece of advertisement for BBC’s adaptation of Dracula you know what they say vampires don’t like to appear in broad daylight so these designers used natural light in their

Favor as the sun goes down and the moon shines in the sky we begin to see a shadow forming and you guessed it the shade of Dracula’s face appears I mean wow shopping for stationary brings out the inner child in all of us pens pencils erasers we love them but what

About this designer’s idea to turn a regular eraser into Mount Fuji the best part is that it’s interactive if you only use the sides your eraser will turn into this beautiful mountain in no time I know you have to be smart to play chess but this designer Edition set

Makes it seem even more difficult in 1923 designer Joseph Hartwick came up with the bow house chess set here no horse looks like a horse and and no Queen is wearing a crown instead the wooden pieces were designed to showcase the directions they can move in during a

Game it’s not 100% accurate though ponds can only move forward and they’re represented by a rectangle what’s that supposed to mean we’re entering the age of smart stuff Smart TVs smart cars and refrigerators but this is the first time we’ve seen A smart business card if you’re a divorce lawyer maybe follow

This guy’s idea prefabricate your card in such a way that you can already split it in half half for one spouse and half for another and both parts still have your phone numbers on them just to make sure you’ll get one of them to be your client in a certain Gallery there’s a

Skate shop that is next to a steak shop I’m unsure who thought of this solution but it kind of works it’s a meaty skateboard sure it’s weird but kudos to whoever dare to even think of this okay so help me out here is there such a thing as a bad design and would

You say this street sign qualifies as an example users seem to think it’s too visually polluted others didn’t even understand what it was advocating for it’s a Pro bike sign by the way I have to say I like this person’s idea but in practice I’d say it didn’t

Work impressionism was a period of art history where painters used soft brush Strokes to depict their subjects looking at it from a distance you might think it’s a bit pixelated but this eyewear brand took this idea to another level apparently if you use their glasses you’ll see paintings through a whole new

Lent clever huh and speaking of art I’d say it probably took the designer of this poster a while to create this one everything everywhere and all at once is one of those movies that makes your brain work hard to follow the plot and the characters and all the colors I’d

Say this designer managed to bring the essence of the movie to life what about you okay so only a few things are more boring than drain pipes aesthetically of course their design is usually simple and repetitive except that during the 19th century Architects were probably addicted to dragons so they made a bunch

Of buildings with drain pipes like this you’ll see a lot of this if you’re visiting France and I have to say they’re awesome Harry Potter fans how do you feel about a night lamp in the shape of the Hogwarts crest that comes with a remote control wand I think my favorite

Part is the wand I always wanted one of those way to go to whoever came up with this ingenious idea a knife holder that looks like a white shark ready to attack its prey Yep this exists and it’s pretty clever I mean the knives coordinate perfectly to

Look like a shark’s Open Jaw plus the design is cute it’s a yay for me if you’ve loved the Red Hot Chili Peppers before you’ll love them even more now their logo is a famous Red Star as you may know and apparently for their concert in Perth Australia the ticket

Included transportation to and from the concert venue so the designer used the red star symbol AS roads to advertise this this piece of information one of those lovely cases where art and music meet real life and rock it one of the basic rules of marketing is you got to know your public I’m

Guessing this mattress ad wouldn’t work just about anywhere in the world but boy does it fit perfectly in Colorado in case you didn’t catch the reference fresh snow is often called powder snow and you have to have a good night’s sleep to enjoy that in a galaxy see far far away just

Kidding in our very own Galaxy Volkswagen invented one of the most beloved cars of all time the Beetle and who knew this version looks exactly like Darth Vader poor Luke though he’ll have to keep seeing his father’s face everywhere so do you know any other genius designs we haven’t shown here do

Tell have you ever wondered how cool buildings of the future are going to look well hold on tight because artificial intelligence is here to to revolutionize the world of architecture AI is a great sidekick it can give the Architects incredible new tools to create mind-blowing structures that are not only stunning but also

Eco-friendly and super efficient so let’s check what our beautiful future might look like first of all you know how cities can get crazy busy and overwhelming right well guess what AI is here to save the day and make our city super smart imagine you’re cruising down

The road in your flying car yes will have those thanks to AI the traffic flows like a dream no more endless gridlock the city knows where the most likely crime spots are and takes proactive steps to keep us safe it’s like having superheroes on every corner

And hey forget about trash piling up AI makes sure waste is managed efficiently keeping our city clean and fresh they can act as a city manager who can optimize everything from traffic to safety and even waste disposal they can analyze tons of data from all sorts of places like sensors and social media

With all that information they can help city planners make brilliant decisions that make our lives better okay so you stroll down the street and your eyes are instantly captivated by an extraordinary building its futuristic curves and features make it stand out from the rest and it not only catches your eye but

Also gives mother nature a high five you might think it was designed by a genius architect but little do you know it was actually a collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence imagine having a super smart design buddy who can whip up thousands of incredible building ideas in a blink of

An eye that’s what AI assisted design software does for Architects it can generate and assess a ton of design options they take into account stuff like the best materials to use and the perfect placement for the building also by analyzing data and crunching numbers algorithms can help optimize the

Building’s design they can ensure it minimizes energy usage conserves water and manages waste like a pro every building strives to reduce costs save energy and promote a better world the result architectural masterpieces that are both jaw-droppingly beautiful and super practical the cityscape of the future will be dotted with these all inspiring

Structures oh but that wasn’t impressive enough for you well how about a stunning futuristic building that seems to defy gravity it’s not made of traditional bricks and mortar oh no this Marvel was created using the powers of 3D printing with the help of AI Architects designed every intricate detail and fed all the

Important data like what materials to use and how the site conditions might affect the structure AI algorithms work their magic to optimize the design making it both breathtakingly beautiful and Rock Solid 3D printing is basically like having a magical machine that can create awesome structures straight out

Of a Sci-Fi by movie and AI jumps in to make sure these structures are not just pretty but also strong in the city of the future 3D printing will become the ultimate architect’s tool it will allow them to create structures that were once impossible to build from mind-bending shapes to intricate details the

Possibilities are endless but AI isn’t just making buildings look great it also makes them efficient and cozy let’s say you step into a futuristic office building and voila the lights automatically adjust to match your mood and the temperature is set perfectly for you these futuristic buildings are capable of sensing and

Responding to their surroundings just like you do they control the lighting keeping it just right for the time of day they manage the temperature so it’s always cozy and comfortable they even keep a watchful eye on security and fix small issues before they become big headaches so the smart building knows

When people come and go so it optimizes energy usage accordingly saving the planet and some cash along the way now the cool thing is all these aren’t the only possibilities how about turning skyscrapers into a vertical Forest recently an architect from India got super excited about the power of

Artificial intelligence so he decided to team up with an imagebot called mid journey to create a vision for the future but instead of a dull robotic World they aimed for something spectacular with text prompts like utopian technology and futuristic Towers the architect and AI got to work guess

What mid Journey didn’t disappoint it conjured up a world where buildings were covered in Lush vertical forests and adorned with shapes inspired by Nature they wanted to create a sustainable future that harmonized with the environment the architect Manus baa is super positive about ai’s potential he

Doesn’t see it as a threat to his job but as a powerful tool for positive change he envisions a future where Architects and and AI collaborate to make breathtaking designs in his project paa even asked the AI to imagine symbiotic and hollowed structures and it responded with pictures of Apartments

Nestled within hollowed out trees imagine a world where the building itself becomes a living breathing part of nature well vaa believes that nature should play a big role in architecture he loves designing structures that Embrace Nature’s Beauty and functionality from buildings built around trees to facades that regulate temperature he’s all about blending

Architecture with the natural world with Architects like paa and the superpowers of AI the future of cities is going to be amazing so get ready to step into a world where nature and Technology coexist in Perfect Harmony it’s a dream we can’t wait to see come true or if

You’re not a big fan of trees how about this skyscrapers that aren’t made of solid bricks but instead they’re inflatable wonders Zumo an architectural practice in Barcelona used the magic of AI to bring these wobbly structures to life these inflatable superstructures rise above future cities like illuminated

Balloons in the sky here’s the best part these inflatable buildings have sustainability superpowers you can pump them up to towering Heights flatten them for easy transportation and rebuild them wherever they’re needed plus they’re powered by renewable energy reducing their impact on the environment pretty cool right pH the future is zooming

Toward us like a rocket artificial intelligence can become the secret sauce that makes Architects work extra special but hey with great power comes great responsibility we need to use AI wisely and ethically for now we don’t have to worry about machines replacing Architects artificial intelligence still needs a

Human hand or else we might end up with buildings that look like mashed up bananas or ice cream cones unless that’s your thing in addition humans have one important Advantage they well are humans we need to keep in mind that artificial intelligence doesn’t have emotional intelligence it’s a brainy genius but it

Can’t fully understand the feelings and Vibes we humans Crave in our spaces so we must remember to infuse our designs with that human touch those warm and fuzzy elements that make us go a I feel right at home and let’s not forget that AI is still learning it’s basically

Just taking its first steps and we need to be patient and give it time to grow rushing things too quickly could lead to wonky designs or buildings that look like a jumbled puzzle this might look cool if you like avantgard architecture but for regular folk no thanks so as the

Future unfolds at warp speed let’s embrace the wonders of AI in architecture but let’s also remember to balance its Brilliance with our own human touch together we can create a future where buildings are not just functional but also filled with heart and soul it’s an adventure that’s out of

This world hey I have an invitation for you pack your bag and let’s head down to the world’s most visited city Paris the city of love the city of blinding lights or whatever you want to call it our goal is to uncover as many Secrets as possible regarding the world famous Muse

De are you up for it grab your travel book and bomb Voyage the Lou makes a big impression if you’re visiting it for the first time the traditional French Renaissance architecture is mixed with some Modern elements like the Lou pyramid and that’s our first stop today

To get inside the museum you can go through the huge glass pyramid sitting right there in the L’s Courtyard if you’re wondering what’s the deal with this pyramid let’s stop here for a few minutes and learn some more about it the Lou pyramid hasn’t been here since the beginning after all the

Lou’s main building aka the Lou Palace dates back to 1190 but before it looked like what you see today this place place was a castle full of moates and Dungeons and not dragons because those aren’t real unfortunately anyways the palace was commissioned by French King Philip II oh

And you can check out some of the medieval Lube in the Museum’s basement the Lou only became a museum quite recently historically speaking in 1793 after the French Revolution the nation decided that this building would be used to display France’s Prime collection of art it wasn’t until the 1980s that the

Idea of the glass pyramid came along then President franois mitan issued a big renovation of the Lu the project was called Grand L and it included the construction of a new entrance for Visitors by the80s the museum had already been receiving millions of visitors per year and the entrance would

Often get crowded and that’s when foreign architect IO Bing pay comes along mitan hired pay to build an entrance that would connect the Museum’s three Pavilions and if you ask me I’d say he did a pretty good job we’re talking about 200 tons of glass and iron not to mention that this

Glass the so-called Diamond Glass was specially designed to be completely transparent without any green or blue tint to it pay wanted visitors to have a clear view of the main buildings without the glass interfering with it it took 2 years just to get the glass color

Right it also took a while before pay decided he was going to build a pyramid he experimented with designing a cube and even a hemisphere but since the original building doesn’t have any curves this would make the courtyard piece too out of context so he decided to build a pyramid instead inspired by

The ones in Egypt after all the Lou holds an immense collection of ancient Egyptian artifact so that kind of makes sense just a wild guess here the thing is the French are pretty critical and once the Lou pyramid was finished in 1988 it became the center of

A very heated debate public opinion was unsettled by such a modern construction today people take all kinds of weird selfies with the pyramid but back then locals were saying that the modern architecture had nothing to do with the Lou’s Renaissance style or even the history of the building some even said

That the pyramid wasn’t French enough yikes standing in line to get inside the Lu you can’t help but wonder how do people clean this huge glass pyramid we’re talking glass slopes so this sure isn’t an easy feat in the beginning the museum Administration apparently hired Mountaineers to climb it and clean it

And some still do this job nowadays when the robot built for this task can’t clean all the dirty spots off the glass I’m not joking the Lou pyramid is cleaned by a robot you know what they say the future is here once you’re down the escalators you’ll notice that this awesome pyramid

You were taking pictures with upstairs has an inverted face to it downstairs it serves as a skylight to the Carousel du which is like an underground shopping mall or the Museum’s main lobby hey look there’s an Apple Store except that the French people pronounce it ipel you’ll have the option to choose

From three different wings of the museum Theo or Den I say we begin with Den you’ll understand why in a bit did you know that the Lou exhibits around 35,000 pieces of art that’s why it’s virtually impossible to visit everything in one day if you’re an art lover you’ll have

To come back here for more visits but to see all the pieces of art spending around 30 seconds on each you’d have to visit the Lou over 100 times and that’s not counting restroom and lunch breaks you get the picture right the museum is huge that’s why it takes about

A 10-minute walk to get from the lobby entrance to the Lou’s most famous painting the Mona Lisa but since you’re here early you managed to take good pictures of this da Vinci Masterpiece a little known fact the Mona Lisa was once stolen from the loop it was once stolen at Night by a

Man called Vincenzo Peru he was an employee of the museum and investigators think he slept inside the L to perform what is known as the greatest art theft of the 20th century apparently the next morning Vincenzo simply walked out of the museum with the Mona Lisa hidden among his belongings

The Mona Lisa was gone for almost 2 years until the painting was recovered in Italy who knows maybe she enjoyed the trip back to her Homeland if you’re an art history buff you must might know that the Mona Lisa has lots of theories revolving around it the painting is shrouded in mystery

That’s a fact a strong case has been made that the Mona Lisa could be a self-portrait of Da Vinci himself historians have compared Da Vinci’s face and that of the Mona Lisa and guess what they appear to be strikingly similar also a 2010 study done by Italy’s committee for cultural heritage

Found that there is a collection of symbols hidden in the painting these are only visible through highly technological magnifying lenses but they show that Leonardo inscribed an LV inside Mona Lisa’s right eye experts guess that this is Da Vinci Signature but the other symbols a c in the left

Eye and a 72 in the arch of the background Bridge are still a mystery but enough about Londa we want to get to the SOI wing of the museum along the way you’ll see some people sitting in front of paintings with a drawing book or even a canvas is that

Allowed Yep this is a very interesting feature of the Muse de the museum houses an art school called E de the students of this school as well as other Parisian institutions can get permits to sit in front of paintings and copy them this way promising Young Artists can learn

Directly from the source they copy The Works of renois Monae and pus trying to figure out the techniques these painters use hm can I sign up for this please to finish your tour you’re visiting the ancient Mo we talked about earlier in this video you know the one

That was part of the original Lou when it was still a castle thanks to the archaeological excavations that happened in the 1980s this part was uncovered and has been open for visitation since 2016 you can even see a miniature model of what the original Castle looked like

And if you visited other landmarks in Paris you’ll notice that it’s pretty similar to the coner I wonder if they’ve ever thought about producing cheese down here it seems like the perfect place oh well I hope you enjoyed learning some secrets of the world’s most famous Museum see you next

Were sent away the Magic Kingdom was connected with the rest of the world with a wooden bridge it was under the watch of the king’s wizard who drove away all uninvited guests with his magic he would walk out to check the bridge every 5 minutes and he would then stay

Inside for another 5 minutes to cross the bridge a person needed 9 minutes and still one citizen managed to escape the town how did he do it the man was walking across the bridge for about 5 minutes while the wizard was inside after that he turned back and

Started walking toward the town when he reached the wall the wizard asked for his documents the man didn’t have any so he was sent away Maggie is an art critic one day she decided to visit a fancy restaurant famous for its unique art collection Maggie took a seat and began to study

The paintings hanging on the walls when the waitress approached her table Maggie asked how old those paintings were the waitress said that they only had 18th century art pieces in the restaurant Maggie left that place immediately and wrote an angry review on their website Liars Why look at this portrait do you recognize this face it’s the waitress it’s very unlikely that she’s more than 300 years old unless she’s a vampire if imagine you can spend an entire week digging in the ground scanning for ruins and taking photographs of the world’s most surreal

Archaeological sites would you be up for it grab your magnifying glasses and let’s do some digging When in Rome do as the Romans do walk around the city stumbling upon ancient history I mean so you’re strolling around escaline Hill on a sunny afternoon you have just finished

Your third gelato when you suddenly see it the Magnificent dalus AA or golden house for the non-latin speakers the Roman Emperor Nero ordered to build this huge Palace back in 64 BCE the construction finished in 68 BCE in its Glory Days it occupied an area three times the size of the Vatican

City the building had Gold Leaf Decor semi-precious stones and tons tons of frescos there were over 300 rooms in the palace some of them overlooking the beautiful Vineyard and animal filled Woods nearby it held an enormous 100t statue of Nero himself the octagonal wall was the grandest construction in the complex

Originally it was a banquet hall with waterfalls cascading down the back walls the hall rotated around its axis day and night as pedals fell from above Nero’s successors stripped the whole Palace of its materials today tourists can visit the main structure and of course the octagonal Hall they

Excavated it and you’ll easily recognize it even with its bare walls after flying halfway across the world we’re deep in the Cambodian jungle good thing you brought bug spray with you mosquitoes can get crazy in this tropical climate hidden among the forest is the city of Anor it was the capital

Of the cham Empire from the 9th to 15th century and F Yi the word Anor means capital city in the Chim language the city became one of the largest in the pre-industrial world researchers say nearly 1 million people used to live there today Anor attracts visitors from

Around the world because of its stunning architecture you can recognize the Cima style in the use of huge blocks of sandstone at the center of the complex lies Bon Temple it’s decorated with 216 smile ing faces which scientists say are meant to resemble the founder of the Ancor

Empire they believe the towers used to be decorated with gold but today the site is a maze of Vine covered temples the city was abandoned in 1431 and wasn’t rediscovered until the 1840s in 1992 they named it a UNESCO world heritage site the United States is not usually synonymous with ruins but here’s

One in the mountainous state of of Colorado lies the ancient home place of ancestral pons throughout the Mesa Verde National Park there are over 600 Cliff Dwellings built by the pons around the 1190s The Cliff Palace alone had over50 rooms it was a multi-story building of sandstone and mud

Mortar to arrive at the balcony house visitors had to climb a 32t ladder there you can see a midsized village of 38 rooms and two keas keas are traditional Chambers built by peons for ceremonial purposes by 1300 the pon occupation of the Mesa Verde ended thankfully the site is open for visits

Now if you like terra cotta Landscapes you came to the right place the City of Petra is a Marvel of the ancient world located in Jordan’s desert the city was a commercial hub back in the 4th Century BCE the nadian an Arab beduin tribe lived in the so-called Rose City and

Thrived for many years accumulating a significant amount of wealth they invented an Innovative water management system that made the region habitable The Rock carved gate light structure Petra is famous for is what is called the pharaoh’s treasury it stands at the main entrance to the site and is

Said to have a hidden treasure beneath it in the early 2000s the site was named one of the seven New Wonders of the World all the way in South America in the country of Guatemala lie ancient Mayan ruins the lost city of teal is a site made of 12,000 buildings the

Remains of the capital of the ancient Mayan empire it is comparable in importance to London or New York the north Acropolis is Teal’s most ancient complex of monuments built solely by human hands in 750 BCE it served as the resting place of kings and Chiefs back in the day the step pyramid

Temples were painted a beautiful red Mayans loved that color today of course you’ll only see the Limestone archaeologists have no clue as to the cause of Teal’s decline was it drought disease or something else altogether located on the Left Bank of the river Tigers is a strange old ruin a battered

Archway it belonged to a city named Tesson The Jewel of the Persian Empire for over 800 years the city hosted an extravagant Palace decorated with a glass Mosaic Jewel adorned carpets and a lot of marble what is it with royalty and marble anyway the arch was part of an Imperial

Palace complex until modern times it was the largest man-made freestanding Vault notice how there are no pillars sustaining it the enormous wealth of the city made it it a constant Target for other Empires until it eventually fell in the mood for some more Mayan ruins chichan is an archaeological site

With the best preserved pyramids on Earth located in Mexico’s Yucatan State this Mayan city is well over 1500 years old at its peak it was home to 35,000 people the site has a total of 26 ruins to be uncovered the Highlight here is El Castillo tremendous step-like Temple

Standing 80 ft above the ground its most peculiar feature is that it has 91 steps up each of its four sides including the upper platform it makes for 365 steps the number of days in the Solar year the oldest lost city in this list dates back to the Neolithic period it

Was when us human beings started farming for the first time instead of living a fully nomadic lifestyle based on hunting and Gathering located on orne island off the coast of Scotland is a prehistoric site known as Scara BR thanks to good restoration the site is very well preserved you can see

Prehistoric dwellings with hearths stone-built furniture and even primitive toilets researchers found runic symbols on the site which means they could have attempted some form of writing ah grease fancy some feta cheese anyone we’ve arrived at the focal point of archaeological sites but today we’re exploring one in particular the Colossus

Of Roads also known as the bronze giant it used to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World standing in the harbor of the Greek city of RADS back in the 3r century bcee the Colossus was said to be 105 ft tall it’s believed that the statue was

Built with the help of 900 camels sadly it only stood for 54 years a ravaging earthquake tore it to Pieces so visitors would come and see only a giant foot now there is a whole load of nothing where the statue once stood I think it’s safe to say there are

A lot of random ruins on walls spread across the globe and our final visit for the day consists of exactly those all the way in northern England lies the ruin of Hadrian’s Wall the Roman Emperor commissioned the wall in order to separate his Empire from Britain

The original wall was a lot grander than what is left of it today but still the ruins are pretty impressive they consist of a 73m structure stretching from one Coast to the other back in the day Hadrian’s Wall hosted 17 large Forts and numerous observation towers to ensure the maximum safety of his

Empire the wall fell into Oblivion when the Romans left Britain at the start of the fth century people began looting it to build churches farms and even houses today if you decide to visit the ruins you’ll only see waste High fragments of stone but still pretty neat Huh let’s play a little guessing game I’m going to name the sites you have on your bucket list Machu picu the Coliseum Petra Taj Mahal did I get at least one of them right I have to confess I was just taking them off the list of the new Seven Wonders of the World

It was officially finished in 2007 after a worldwide vote what happened to the old list well it was put together in the 2 Century BCE and there is just one site currently Still Standing the Pyramids of Giza pack your bags we’re going to Peru the home of the mighty Machu

Picchu when it was first discovered in 1911 its Explorer thought he had managed to find the lost city of the Inca several decades later it turned out it wasn’t the same city plus there were still three farmer families living there so it couldn’t be really called Lost and

Forgotten no wonder they like it so much there the stones making up the buildings are cut so precisely and sit together so tightly that you can’t even insert a credit card between them it has saved the city from some serious earthquakes which are common here the buildings Just

Dance through all the shaking and then go back into place and because of the way it’s arranged you can see the sun rise or set exactly behind the important Peaks on important days for the Inca more than half 60% of all the construction in Machu Picchu was done

Underground so you can’t even see it the best part is that there are still things to be discovered if you want to get your name Inked in history our next stop is on the yukatan peninsula in Mexico the mighty chichin sits here for well over 1,5 500 years the structure has exactly 365

Steps you can count when you go next time if you don’t trust me the Maya who built the whole thing were really into astronomy so it’s not surprising they made as many steps as there are days in a year also if you happen to be here during the spring or fall equinox you’ll

Notice the Shadows the Setting Sun casts make it look like there’s a snake going down the stairs The Feathered Serpent was one of the main ities in ancient Mexico chichin ITA used to be a busy urban center it had its ups and downs and by the time the Spanish arrived the 16th

Century it had been mostly abandoned the first photos we have from the spot are from the end of the 19th century looks like the Terrace pyramid had a lot more vegetation on it back in 1892 the only source of fresh water in this dry climate is the cenotes or water-filled sinkholes

There are four visible codes and the temple pyramid most likely stands on top of one more archaeologists are looking for tunnels to enter it to see our next wonder you must be prepared to share it with around 15,000 others that’s how many people visit the statue of Christ the Redeemer every day

The statue sits above the corcovado mountain and weighs roughly 635 tons must have been tricky to lift it all the way up there actually actually it came in Parts a French sculptor Paul landowski made several pieces of the future sculpture out of clay The Head and the

Hands were made in full size and the body would be made larger on the spot the parts of the statue were cut into cubes and then cast into concrete and put together workers prepared the cement right on the spot and transferred all the tools by a small cog wheeel

Railroad which tourists used to get up the hill the statue is the best proof that lightning does strike in the same place more than once it must be because of its position on top of the mountain its fingers head and eyebrows got damaged by storms time to move on this time we’re

Going to Agra India yep to see the Taj Mahal that beautiful pink construction wait wasn’t it always white well the Taj Mahal changes its color depending on what time it is it looks pale pink or pearly gray at Sunrise Crystal white at noon and the sunset paints it orange

Bronze in the evening it may even seem translucent blue and that’s not the only optical illusion here when you move towards the main gate the building seems gigantic but the closer you get to it the smaller it looks the minettes or Towers on both sides might seem to be standing

Perfectly straight but in reality they’re leaning outward it’s done for aesthetic balance and also to prevent the towers from falling on on the main building in case of an earthquake for construction finished in the 17th century the Taj Mahal looks good as new that’s because it regularly

Gets a spa day they apply a proper facial mud pack to it which is a traditional recipe to keep the radiance I’m feeling peckish from all the traveling how about we go to Italy and have some pasta just kidding the real reason would be to see the Coliseum

Of course its original name was the flavian Amphitheater because it was built by the flavian dynasty the new name is most likely after the Colossal bronze statue of Emperor Nero that was once next to the building the model for the statue was the Colossus of roads in its nearly 2,000 years the

Coliseum has lived through at least three major fires and four earthquakes it was damaged repaired and rebuilt many times the impressive construction once hosted up to 880,000 Spectators what they watched was wasn’t necessarily as cruel as Hollywood made us believe most Gladiator matches went under strict rules sometimes the public would get

Bored with the show and the participants would draw out of the Arena once the Coliseum stopped serving as an arena for those scary shows it was used as a cemetery a place of worship for housing workshops for Artisans and Merchants the home of a religious order and a fortified Castle

Now it’s open to the public and you can check out its underground Labyrinth are you ready for the next Wonder it’s the Lost City of Petra or rather the rediscovered city which was once super rich and vibrant then got abandoned and found again in 1812 the whole city is made of sandstone and even though it’s in the desert it

Has seen some pretty heavy rains still it has lasted 2,000 years thanks to some very skilled workers modern laser scanning showed that they put giant steps into the mountain to check the quality of the Rock and carve out the buildings without risking their lives and how did people survive here in

The desert without any water the naans who lived here developed a whole complicated system of conduits dams and ssts to make sure they have enough vital fluid for the whole year in case you in your Indiana Jones mode there’s still a lot to discover here in Petra archaeologists believe we only know 15%

Of the City by now and the rest is still hidden underground let’s finish our tour with the largest human-made project in the world yep I’m talking about the Great Wall of China it stretches for over 13,000 mi from the bohai sea in the East all the way to the GOI desert in the

West but don’t trust the popular myth you won’t really see the wall from the Moon it took over 2,000 years to finish and a good amount of building materials mostly bricks and cutstone blocks have you ever scratched your name on a tree or even worse some famous

Place no worries I won’t tell anyone people who built the wall did the same some of the bricks which are mostly from the Ming Dynasty have some data like production location brick household name and the responsible officials this was a form of quality control if something

Happened to any of the bricks it would be easy to find out who to blame for it have you ever seen a skyscraper that can change its shape the creators of the fnf tower in Panama City had a concept and only $50 million which isn’t a lot in

Skyscraper money so they couldn’t afford a mistake and they finished a concrete structure with the 39 upper floors rotating 9° around an axis from the first attempt without spending any extra time or materials Dubai’s rotating Tower will look different every time you see it once it’s finished each of its 80 floors

Will rotate 360° individually around the center of the building the lucky residents will be able to control that rotation which means they can choose their view from the window a complete lap should take about 90 minutes and no the tower won’t be a huge waste of electricity it will produce its own

Energy wind turbines between the floors will drive the rotations if you’ve ever wanted to live inside a video game bul an apartment in the king power mahanan building this pixelated skyscraper around the height of the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Thailand the secret behind its looks is the horizontally and
