A History of the World in 100 Monuments

From the origins of the universe in the entrails of the Large Hadron Collider where the Big Bang is being studied at the CERN to the birth of the internet at that very same place, the story of human progress is intricately woven. Starting from the city of Geneva, let us embark on a captivating journey around the world, traversing through the ages and eras to discover a curated selection of 100 monuments that have left an indelible mark on the history of humanity. These monuments are not merely physical structures, but embodiments of our collective human experience. Some stand out for their unparalleled beauty and architectural ingenuity, while others hold immense historical and sentimental value, reflecting the full spectrum of our species' triumphs and tribulations. Whether marveling at the grandeur of ancient wonders or contemplating the darker instincts that have shaped our past, the first part of this diptych serves as an invitation to explore the rich tapestry of human civilization, from the dawn of time to the present day, in order to gain a deeper understanding of our shared heritage and the forces that have propelled us forward, both as individuals and as a global community.

Une Histoire du Monde en 100 Monuments

Des origines de l'univers dans les entrailles du Grand Collisionneur de Hadrons (LHC) où le Big Bang est étudié au CERN jusqu'à la naissance d'Internet au même endroit, l'histoire du monde s’est déroulée de manière haletante et complexe. Au départ de la ville de Genève, embarquons pour un captivant voyage autour du monde, traversant les âges et les époques, à la découverte d'une sélection subjective de 100 monuments qui ont laissé une trace indélébile dans l'histoire de l'humanité. Ces monuments ne sont pas de simples structures physiques, mais des incarnations de notre expérience humaine collective. Certains se distinguent par leur beauté inégalée et leur ingéniosité architecturale, tandis que d'autres ont une immense valeur historique et sentimentale, reflétant tout le spectre des triomphes et des tribulations de notre espèce. Qu'il s'agisse de s'émerveiller devant la grandeur de monuments anciens ou de se souvenir des instincts les plus sombres qui ont façonné notre passé, la première partie de ce diptyque est une invitation à explorer la riche tapisserie de la civilisation humaine, de l'aube des temps à nos jours, afin de mieux comprendre notre héritage commun et les forces qui nous ont fait progresser, à la fois en tant qu'individus et en tant que communauté mondiale.
