The case that skyrocketed the Mona Lisa's value involves Vincenzo Peruggia, a daring museum worker. In 1911, he snatched the masterpiece, believing he was reclaiming Italian art. Two years later, the painting was recovered, turning the Mona Lisa into a global sensation. The audacious theft not only fueled public fascination but also propelled the painting's value to stratospheric heights. Peruggia's misguided patriotism inadvertently transformed the Mona Lisa into an iconic symbol of high-stakes art heists. Other masterpieces also have a tale to tell 🎨💎 Credit: Krlmhl / Reddit Palana / Reddit Galactic_Gooner / Reddit unknown / Reddit socialmichu / Reddit snarfo2 / Reddit Sushikam5ut / Reddit Monotonyanomaly / Reddit Krokodrillo / Reddit A Tale of Two Cities: By Stanley Maxwell Zuckerberg, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index... ancient flute: By Panegyrics of Granovetter - https://flic.kr/p/2jDqMmS, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...

Why do some people become successful and rich, and others don't? That's a tough question. But there's no denying the fact that upbringing plays an important role in it. All parents want the best possible future for their kids but, unfortunately, not all of them know how to raise their children to be financially smart and ready for big achievements. Have you ever thought, for example, how important it is to raise children with the faith that everything is possible if they put enough effort into achieving it? Unfortunately, some parents sometimes say stuff that ruins a child’s confidence in themselves. It’s obvious that a person who doesn’t believe in themselves has a tough time achieving things in life, and has huge doubts about taking steps toward their goals.

Do you know what you should do in order to increase your chances of getting a job or make others to always agree with you? Or, how do you win someone’s trust if you disagree with them about something? In short, how to read people like an open book? Psychology! It can also turn you into the most charismatic person in the room and help you overcome shyness! You don’t need any advanced techniques to achieve all this — just memorize some simple tips. For example, whenever you feel stressed or anxious, chew something. If you didn't get a good night's sleep, tell yourself that you did. And if you're always worried about whether or not you locked the door or turned your iron off, try saying some absurd phrase while doing these things. Btw, using psychological tricks correctly can make you look more attractive to others!

Famous mythical monsters from around the world have captured our imaginations for centuries. The Kraken, a sea monster from Norse folklore, is said to lurk in the depths, ready to seize ships and drag them under. Manananggal is often described as a lady who likes to snack on sleeping, pregnant women. Real-life scary monsters might not be supernatural creatures, but they can be just as terrifying. Take the giant squid, for instance, a deep-sea denizen that's rarely seen and known for its colossal size and menacing tentacles. Then there's the saltwater crocodile, a massive reptile that's known for its ambush attacks on unsuspecting prey. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Our planet rotates around its axis from west to east at a speed of over a thousand miles per hour at the equator! And this pattern has lasted for billions of years since the Earth was formed. But “what if” one day, our planet suddenly started to rotate backward, from east to west? It would be one thing if the Earth's continents and oceans were situated symmetrically against the equator when the change of the direction happened. In this case, the only change people would notice would be the climate, which would turn into a mirror image of the current one. In other words, there’d be no dramatic changes. But since life on our planet is rarely about symmetry, the effects of the Earth rotating backward would be way more complicated.

It turns out the Maya were like ancient rock stars of advancement! We used to think they were all about pyramids and calendars, but recent discoveries are blowing our minds. Their intricate understanding of astronomy would give modern astronomers a run for their money. Picture this: advanced mathematical systems, complex agricultural techniques, and urban planning that rivals some of our cities today. Oh, and they had a writing system that decoded their secrets – think of it like the ancient version of cracking a code. So, the Maya weren't just about predicting the end of the world; they were ahead of their time in ways we're only now beginning to fully grasp!

Back in the ancient days, cooling off in the desert wasn't as simple as cranking up the AC. People got creative and pulled off a cool trick with ice. They'd dig these deep pits, like desert ice chests, and stash the ice in layers of straw and sawdust to keep it from melting too fast. It was like nature's own refrigerator! These ancient cool cats knew how to use what they had, and they'd harvest the ice during the colder months to keep their chill vibes going in the scorching heat. So, forget about popsicles – ancient desert dwellers were the OG ice masters! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

The thylacine was the largest land predator throughout mainland of Australia. But as humans migrated and brought dingoes, the Thylacine struggled to compete for food and almost disappeared around 2000 years ago. A group of US and Australian scientists have banded together to bring the Thylacine back from extinction. The first step will be to structure its genome. Why did they decide to do it, and will they succeed? #brightside Credit: CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
