      Many people were ahead there time. Think about the Egyptians, the Romans. The Chinese and other Asian civilizations are of course the eldest. But when you search history you encounter a lot of civilizations that were great and don't exist any more today. To give 2 examples :
      The testimony of the former habitants of Irak of which a great deal has been destroyed during the war (museums, parts of very old buildings).
      Everything that has been destroyed by the Taliban in the name of their belief because they will not recognize that there lived other people before them in their country who had wisdom and believed in other gods.

    The wife of the Vietnamese President is wearing the same dress she wore on the state visit of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde in April 2025 (photo N°4 etc...).I wonder if Queen Mathilde bought silk in Vietnam for her or maybe to give as a present to someone. She bought fabrics abroad in the past when she was in Africa. In the past she visited Asian manufacturies during her travels for the UN and is wearing dresses and tunica's in Asian style when on duty for the UN.
    Queen Jetsun Pema is such a beautiful lady. She stays beautiful year after year.
