Behold, the bronze helmet of Canosa, unearthed from a princely tomb in Apulia, Italy. Dating back to the 4th century BC, it whispers tales of the Daunian civilization, an ancient Italic people.
Crafted with meticulous detail, the helmet features embossed figures – possibly a winged goddess or a griffin – and intricate floral patterns. Time has weathered its surface, yet these scars enhance its aura, narrating the passage of centuries. Its significance lies in shedding light on the artistic prowess and funerary practices of a vanished culture.
The helmet is an artifact frozen in time, a vessel carrying stories of bravery and artistry. The cold bronze evokes a sense of melancholy, a poignant reminder of the ephemeral nature of existence, where even the most majestic warriors fade into the annals of history, leaving behind only echoes of their glory.

This historical photograph captures a large traditional outrigger sailing canoe, likely from the Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea.
The specific design, featuring a high gunwale (plank extension) from the hull and a double-mast, is characteristic of a type of trading vessel known as a Kasali or a similar large outrigger.
A similar design is also seen in the Lakatoi, another large trading vessel used in Papua New Guinea.

Filisur, Switzerland 🇨🇭 This isn't a toy train set; it’s the Landwasser Viaduct, the crown jewel of the UNESCO-listed Rhaetian Railway. 🚂
The engineers who built this in 1902 were either geniuses or terrifyingly bold, as they constructed those 65-meter stone pillars without using any scaffolding at all. 🏗️
The most dramatic part isn't the height, but the disappearance act: the track curves directly into the sheer vertical cliff face of the Landwasser Tunnel, meaning you go from open air to pitch black in seconds. 🏔️
If you want the best photo, sit in the rear carriage to watch the red engine get swallowed by the mountain. 📸

On this day in 1979, the Fleetwood Mac single “Tusk” peaked on the Australian charts at #3 (December 17)
The song written by Lindsey Buckingham from the 1979 double LP of the same name, came from a rehearsal riff that Buckingham used for sound-checks.
Mick Fleetwood recalled that the band played the riff the same way every night with the intention of developing it further in the studio.
At the request of Fleetwood, the band recruited the University of Southern California's Trojan Marching Band to play on the single.
The idea came to Fleetwood while he was a on a vacation in Barfleur in France, when he was woken up by a local brass band playing outside.
He recalled:
“I saw the entire village dancing in the streets. They were following the band...I grabbed the remainder of my bottle of Beaujolais from the night before and went down to join in...That joyous, irresistible cacophony is what I heard when I listened to that loop of the riff.”
The song went to #3 in Australia, #4 in New Zealand, #5 in Canada, #6 in the UK and Austria, #7 in Germany, #8 in the US, and #10 in the Netherlands.

Here's the 1959 Rometsch Lawrence VW Typ 1 Coupé.
The company began by building taxis using Opel or Ley Chassis.
Post WWII, Rometsch made a stretched, 4-door Volkswagen Beetle taxi, and also constructed wood framed, aluminum bodied, Volkswagen sports cabriolet cars called Beeskows, after the designer.
Because of its shape, the Beeskow was sometimes called a banana.
It looked like an ancestor to the Audi TT.
In 1957, Rometsch switched from the banana to the Lawrence design, which was characterized as being 'more American.'
Each vehicle took about 1000 man hours to complete, with an aluminum body formed over a frame of steel and wood.
It was a Volkswagen chassis, but typically, Okrasa or Porsche engines were installed.
The Lawrence was initially offered as a convertible, but by the late 1950s a coupé was also constructed.
This is a 1959 coupe, of which, only a handful were made. The two-tone interior is mostly original.
When the Berlin wall went up in August of 1962, Rometsch lost most of its workers who lived on the East side and closed.

17 December 1903
Although greatly disputed by some, on this day in 1903, four miles south of Kitty Hawk, in the US State of North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright, better known as The Wright Brothers, successfully conducted what is (officially) known as the first free, controlled flight of a power-driven airplane.
