"Exploring the Rich Tapestry of 1086: From Lincoln Cathedral to Domesday Book and Beyond" Step back in time to the year 1086, a pivotal moment in history that witnessed significant events across different parts of the world. In Lincoln, England, construction on the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral was underway. This architectural marvel would go on to become one of Europe's most iconic cathedrals. Meanwhile, during World War II in the 1940s, Lincoln Cathedral faced destruction as it became a target for German bombings. However, it miraculously survived and stands tall today as a testament to resilience. In another corner of England lies an invaluable historical document known as the Domesday Book. Compiled in 1086 by William the Conqueror's order, this comprehensive survey recorded details about land ownership and resources across England. The accompanying Domesday Map of Surrey provides us with insights into medieval landscapes and settlements. Amidst turbulent times in Berlin-Mitte during World War II, Bohmer Franz occupied an official apartment belonging to Reich Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. These spaces hold secrets untold - plans unknown and materials unclassified - leaving historians intrigued about their significance. The pages from The Inquest of County Cambridge offer glimpses into life during this era while summarizing valuable information gathered for the Domesday Book project. They provide us with snapshots of society at that time – its people, customs, and structures shaping communities. Traveling eastward to Japan through stunning silk paintings reveals profound moments captured within Buddhist artistry. A demon and lion grieving at Buddha's death depict deep sorrow felt by mythical creatures upon losing their spiritual leader; while his body is laid amidst grieving bodhisattvas – enlightened beings striving for enlightenment themselves – disciples pay homage alongside them. Warrior hero Minamoto Yoshiiye takes center stage during Japan's Gosannen War (c1086-89).
