The 7th century was a time of great cultural and religious significance, as depicted in various illustrations and artifacts from around the world. In Axum, Ethiopia, an intricate granite stela stands tall, showcasing the artistic prowess of the region during this period. Meanwhile, Gordon Ross's illustration captures the essence of Muhammad, the revered founder of Islam, who lived between 570-632 AD. Journeying to Moudjeleia, one can find a tomb that serves as a testament to the rich history and reverence for ancestors during this era. The Mayan pyramid known as The Temple of Inscriptions at Palenque showcases advanced architectural techniques prevalent among ancient civilizations. Venturing into Rome's catacombs reveals St. Callixtus' resting place along with those of St. Thraso and St. Saturninus - reminders of early Christian burial practices and their enduring legacy. Religious teachings were also prominent during this time; an illustration portrays Christ surrounded by his devoted Apostles while imparting wisdom upon them. Traveling eastward to Hafs' tomb unveils another facet of historical significance in Islamic culture. Additionally, Chinese artistry is showcased through an illustration depicting a majestic dragon against a map representing China during the Tang dynasty (AD626). Tang silver wine jugs adorned with gilded dancing horse motifs exemplify China's exquisite craftsmanship during this era. Jerusalem's iconic Dome of the Rock stands tall as a symbol of Islamic architecture and its construction in AD691 signifies its importance within Jerusalem's sacred landscape. Lastly, we encounter a marble capital engraved in the 7th century - serving as evidence not only for skilled sculptors but also for societies' desire to leave lasting imprints on their surroundings.
