Athos Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Yes, this is my 1001th... or is that 1001st post... at classic-castle.com, that is? At any rate, I consider it to be quite the milestone. As such, I have created three vignettes to celebrate, each depicting a scene occurring c. 1001 A.D. First, Leif Erikson lands in America: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...AD/vinland1.jpg More info at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Ericson Second, King Stephen I receives the Holy Crown from Pope Silvester: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...D/stepheni1.jpg More info at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_I_of_Hungary Lastly, the Chinese discover gunpowder: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi.../gunpowder1.jpg More info at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder All three together: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...1001AD/1001.jpg The whole millenial gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=179709 Steve Quote
