learning this blew my mind… ↓ Legend says: ✩ the man behind Prague’s Astronomical Clock was allegedly blinded so he couldn’t recreate it anywhere else ✩ in revenge, he cursed the clock and broke it, claiming anyone who tried to fix it would go mad (spoiler: the clock still runs 600 years later so someone clearly ignored the warning) Reality: ✩ turns out, the legend isn’t totally true— the wizard wasn’t the original creator, he was just the guy who upgraded it ✩ still, the clock has survived curs
