What Ottomans Did to Captured Nuns Was Worse Than Death In this dark historical documentary, we uncover one of the most haunting stories buried in the Ottoman archives — the fall of the Thessaly convent and the Christian nuns who chose faith over survival. When the empire’s armies reached their gates, prayer turned into defiance, and silence became their only weapon. This is not just a tale of conquest — it’s a story of women who faced a fate worse than death, and whose final prayers still echo beneath the stones of Topkapı Palace.

Unearthed from forgotten missionary reports and Byzantine letters, this episode exposes how power sought to destroy spirituality — and how faith endured through the ashes.

Yeah, it is just there are people who do really good YouTube documentaries, with actual historic paintings and depictions of events I want to learn about, but within the past two-three months, everything is AI slop, and I do not trust any of it.

Yes, AI has ruined many things quicker than I expected and it's only getting worse. I'm sorry that I posted it really, but the story got me at the time ya know and I've done so little posting lately...excuses really. Anyway cheers.

Dude, no need to be sorry. We are all being fooled.

I've been trying to follow news about the comet 3I/Atlas, because I find it to be an interesting subject, but there are only two open-minded human channels actively following it, and a fucking billion AI-generated pieces of slop uploading new shit every hour.

I can tell them apart for now, but what will it look like in six months?

Will I even be able to tell AI poetry apart from human written poetry in six months?

Regardless, God Bless.
