In 1696, a significant development took place in the English Channel with the construction of the iconic Eddystone Lighthouse. This wooden structure, depicted in a French wood engraving from 1879, marked a crucial milestone in maritime safety and navigation. Over the years, this lighthouse underwent various transformations until its final form was established in 1879. Meanwhile, on a spiritual level, Theosophy Chakras emerged as an influential concept around 1696. Exploring the energy centers within our bodies, this philosophy delves into understanding our inner selves and achieving harmony. In politics, Jan III Sobieski played a prominent role during this period. As King of Poland from 1674 to his death in 1696, Sobieski left behind a legacy of military victories and leadership that shaped Eastern Europe's history. Another notable figure from this era is Sir John Strange. Known for his legal expertise and involvement with important cases like "The pack at Quorn Hunt, " Strange made significant contributions to British law during his time. Shifting focus to Russia's royalty, Ivan V reigned between 1666 and 1696 but faced health challenges throughout his life. Despite these difficulties, he played an essential role in Russian governance during turbulent times. Art also flourished during this period; Peter Thumb (1681-1766) showcased his architectural skills through the Church of Saint-Gall—a masterpiece that still stands today as a testament to his talent. Additionally, tapestry artist Ambusch created stunning works such as "Ambusch" in 1696—showcasing intricate designs woven into fabric that captivated audiences then and now. Exploration continued across continents with maps being drawn meticulously; one such example is an Africa map hand-colored engraved circa 1696—an invaluable resource for geographers and historians alike.
