The Letter That Crossed Empires
In the year 1271, the world trembled beneath the shadow of the Mongol Empire. From the steppes of Central Asia to the gates of Eastern Europe, the name Khan carried both fear and awe.

“The Last Letter of Kabul”

For over two millennia, a single sentence tormented the greatest minds in mathematics. It was neither a riddle nor a cryptic prophecy, but a postulate Euclid’s Fifth.

And for 2,000 years, mathematicians were obsessed with a singular goal: to prove it was unnecessary.

Burned, Not Broken
Her name survived the flames. Hers, not theirs. Before the flames could devour her flesh, Joan of Arc already smelled the smoke — thick, acrid, and bitter. It stung her lungs and clawed at her throat. The pyre, hastily built with damp wood from the previous night’s rain, failed to burn cleanly. Instead, it smoldered, choking the air with a gray plume that dimmed the morning light and brought coughs to even the most hardened executioner.
