4000 year old olive tree in Greece! This tree started growing around 2000 BC, during the Bronze Age, around the time the last wooly mammoth was hunted, the 7th dynasty of Egypt was over and humans discovered the existence of glass. This tree has seen humans go from the Bronze Age to the Atomic Age. It has witnessed our changing world and lived through many wars. It has seen many kings, politicians, warriors, and prophets go from birth to death, and it still continues to produce olives annually! 😍🌳

Yasuke
The Story of Yasuke: The Black Samurai Yasuke was a man of African origin who arrived in Japan in the 16th century. He is said to have been brought by a Jesuit missionary, and his imposing presence and skills quickly caught the attention of Oda Nobunaga, one of the most powerful daimyo of the time. Nobunaga welcomed him into his court, where Yasuke became his bodyguard and a respected samurai. Yasuke excelled in battle and was known for his loyalty. His story is a symbol of the plurality and cultural impact that existed in Japan, even in those times.
