Da Vince Wasn't Just An Incredible Artist. He Was An Inventor, Scientist, Mathematician, Engineer, Writer, Musician And Much More
When you try to think about it it's almost like he's actually an alien or a giant hoax. I mean how is it actually possible for someone who lived centuries ago to have thought up the things we'd barely come up with in the last ~hundred of years? It's like he's invented everything and we don't even have most of his engineering drawings so in fact he probably did invent everything(I wonder if he perhaps even had a spaceship drawing tucked in somewhere?). That while being a genius artist, musician etc....being a genius happens but being a genius in like literally every single aspect of everything is just so absolutely astonishing it's almost unbelieveable.

Yeah, I hoped for more women too. But fact is, history has been unkind and this is the result. Marvelous brilliant women have contributed to science, but they weren't written or spoken about as much. Still, they could add many more.
