The 7,000-Car Secret: Brunei’s Lost Automotive Empire By Titan007

Image
 There are car collections… and then there is Brunei. Hidden behind locked gates near the tropical coastline of Southeast Asia sits what may be the most excessive, controversial, and tragic automotive collection ever assembled. Not a museum. Not a curated gallery. But thousands upon thousands of cars—many never driven, some never seen by the public, and a shocking number built specifically for one family that treated the world’s greatest manufacturers like private artisans. This is the story of power, money, obsession—and decay. The Collectors Behind the Curtain At the center of this saga are two men: Prince Jefri Bolkiah , the former Finance Minister of Brunei, and his brother, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah , one of the longest-ruling monarchs in the world. During the oil-fueled boom years, Brunei was drowning in wealth. And Prince Jefri spent it like no one else on Earth. Private jets. Palaces. Art. Yachts. And above all—cars. By the mid-1990s, Prince Jefri had quietly amassed an estim...

Archeology in Slovenia

 The development of archeology in Slovenia and the inclusion of data on antiquities discovered through excavation plans can only be traced to general historical reviews in recent times. An exception is the Roman inscriptions stones, which have aroused interest with their hard-to-read letters precisely because of this mystery since 1 .1485 when they were first mentioned by Paolo Santonino in a diary about traveling around Slovenia. . The beginnings of Slovene antiquity are young, only in the 1970s. St. The expansion of this scientific branch in recent decades has in many ways changed our knowledge of the antiquity of the Eastern Alpine space and its turbulent prehistory. The results have not yet been comprehensively evaluated, so many areas are still unclear, several cultural phenomena are wrapped in darkness, many chapters from economic life are vague and many sections from the ephemerality of our space are only partially clarified. However, recent work has enabled this attempt to summarize the events from the first appearance of a man in the Northern Balkans to the arrival of Slovenes in the Western Alps.

The basic characteristic of the archeological periods of our homeland is the tendency to exceed the levels achieved by summarizing knowledge and experience in the increasingly established means of production from the increasingly spiritual environment.

the trend allowed for gradual economic development, leaps in social progress, and a diversified cultural boom. Given the increasingly sophisticated living conditions, past human societies have strengthened their opportunities and enriched their lives together with expressions of spirit and creativity, which has made it possible to exceed the level of past civilizations and population growth. The original ruins of the Ice Age people with 30 find so far are replaceable in the Neolithic Age by generations of people from the bridge-era period, attested by finds in over 150 places. A steep rise was made by past companies after the introduction of iron when we know close to 900 stations of the Hallstatt period. The leap passage is formed by the Roman era with over 1300 sites, this great growth can be attributed with great certainty to the openness of Roman society and the economic integration of our space into the then known world with dimensions from the Atlantic to North Africa and nearby Asia. The achieved level of many forms of past social, economic, and cultural character is certainly extremely important for the national history of Slovenes, as our immediate ancestors built their movement in the Eastern Alps on the foundations of ancient civilization with achievements in a monetary economy and subcontinental and supranational values. . Against this background, many invisible threads bind us to the spiritual tradition and to a large part of past generations who have uprooted the overgrown world, exterminated it, colonized it, and cultivated the landscape. Because of this, the finding of thousands of survivors, which also connect our time and the modern man with this oldest heritage, is deeply substantiated.
