Did you know that the first map of the Himalayas was made in the 1500s by the Catalan monk Antoni de Montserrat, and it was so accurate that it was used by European expeditions until the 1800s?
Here's the story of a priest that was called by a Mughal emperor for interfaith intercultural dialogue and who ended up being -among other things- a royal teacher, a writer, a geographer, a fake Armenian merchant, and a prisoner.
Tumblr media
Antoni de Montserrat was born in 1536 in Vic (Catalonia). He studied in Barcelona (Catalonia) and Coimbra (Portugal) to become a priest and joined the Jesuits. In 1574, he was sent on a mission to Goa (back then a Portuguese colony, now part of India).
The Mughal emperor Akbar was an open-minded man. He was Muslim but wanted to learn about the other religions, so he called representatives of different religions to his court in Fatehpur Sikri. In 1579, he called the Jesuits to explain Christianity, and the Jesuits sent Antoni de Montserrat. Everyone in the court -Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus- knew that the point was not to convert others, but to reach a better understanding through debate.

The emperor Akbar valued Antoni de Montserrat as a great wise man and chose him to become the tutor of his second son MurĂąd. Antoni learned Persian (the language of the Mughal court) and accepted. He remained close to the emperor and accompanied him in the military campaign when the emperor's step-brother started an uprising in Bengala. Crossing much of Northern India, Kashmir, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tibet on elephant gave him the perspective to draw the map.
In the end, Antoni went back to Goa in 1582. There, he wrote a book explaining what he had seen in the Mughal Empire, the cultural differences he had experienced, the political organization of these territories, and describing emperor Akbar's court. This book is called Mongolicae Legationis Commentarius, and its descriptions of the lands he has travelled include the earliest description of Tibetans known in Europe since Marco Polo and the first ever map of the Himalayas.
Tumblr media
Antoni de Montserrat's map of the Himalayas and their surroundings, including large parts of what nowadays is India, Tibet, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Library of St. Paul's Cathedral, Kolkata (India).
This book explains cultural elements of the different cultures under the Mughal Empire and also the conversations Antoni had with the emperor about certain habits. For example, Antoni writes about how the Brahmans (upper caste Hindu priests) force widows to be burned alive in the same funeral pyre as their dead husbands, often (when the women resist) drugging them or through violence. Antoni tries to get emperor Akbar to stop this terrible tradition, but doesn't succeed. On the other hand, Antoni also tells the emperor Akbar that they should burn the "men who dress as women" who live in the emperor's court, to which the emperor bursts laughing out loud and doesn't give any consideration to. Despite their different cultural backgrounds, Antoni and Akbar were friends.
Antoni's time in the Mughal Empire ended in 1588, when the king Philip II of Castilla and I of Portugal orders Antoni and a young Spanish priest named Pedro PĂĄez to go to Ethiopia to convince the Coptic Christian Ethiopians to get closer to the Catholic Christian Church. Then, Antoni and Pedro dressed up as an Armenian merchants to border the Ottoman Empire through Iraq, Syria, and Egypt, trying to avoid the pirates of the Indian Ocean. However, before reaching Ethiopia, they took a ship to skirt modern-day Oman, but the captain turned them in as soon as they reached land in Yemen. Then, Antoni and Pedro were taken on a camel caravan to the Sultan of Hadhramaut (Yemen), who imprisoned them until 1595 and then sentenced to galleys in the Red Sea, and later imprisoned them again. Luckily for them, king Philip paid their rescue and they were freed in 1596. With his body weakened by the galleys and the mistreatments of prison, Antoni retired to a convent in Salsette (modern-day Mumbai, India), where he died in 1600 right after having finished his map.
The Spanish priest who travelled with him, Pedro PĂĄez, also wrote his own diary explaining what they lived. With his descriptions, we know that in Yemen Antoni and Pedro were given what he describes as a kind of herbal tea called "cahua, water boiled with a fruit named bun and which is drank very hot, instead of wine": that is a drink that was still unknown in Europe at the time, which we now call coffee.
Maybe you have heard the name Pedro PĂĄez before, too. After accompanying Antoni to Goa, he went to Ethiopia again, successfully this time. In Ethiopia, he became the first European to reach the source of the Blue Nile.
Information sources: David Montserrat Nonó (La Mira), Sociedad Geogråfica Española. If you want to read Antoni de Montserrat's book, it has been translated from Latin to Catalan and to Spanish by Josep Lluís Alay.

From Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Kareena Kapoor to Dulquer Salmaan: Indian Celebrities Condemn Israel’s Attack on Rafah, Extend Solidarity with Gaza
In the wake of the Israeli airstrike that reportedly claimed the lives of 45 individuals in Rafah, numerous Indian celebrities have stepped forward to denounce the violence.
Tumblr media
The devastating airstrike, which caused a fire in a tent camp in the Gazan city of Rafah, has sparked outrage not only among global leaders but also within the Indian film fraternity. Following the incident late Sunday night (IST), several A-list celebrities have taken to social media platforms to condemn Israel’s actions and express solidarity with Gaza. Among these notable figures are Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Varun Dhawan, Sonam Kapoor, rapper Honey Singh, and Madhuri Dixit Nene.
Bollywood star Alia Bhatt utilized her Instagram stories to amplify a post by another user, which emphasized the importance of providing love, safety, peace, and life to all children. Accompanied by the hashtag “All Eyes On Rafah,” Bhatt's post served as a poignant reminder of the human toll of the conflict.
Similarly, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared a post from the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), condemning the Israeli attack. The post highlighted the tragic loss of life, particularly among children, and called for an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
Numerous other celebrities, including Varun Dhawan, Sonam Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Dulquer Salmaan, and many more, joined the chorus of condemnation by sharing a viral image bearing the words “All Eyes On Rafah” on their respective Instagram stories. The collective outcry from these influential figures underscores the urgency of the situation and the need for international attention and action.
According to reports from news agency Reuters, survivors of the airstrike recounted the harrowing experience of families sheltering in the Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood when the strike occurred. The tragedy unfolded amidst an ongoing ground offensive by Israeli forces in the east of Rafah.
In response to the incident, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged a "tragic mistake" and pledged to investigate the matter. However, the airstrike has reignited concerns over Israel’s ongoing conflict with Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023, following an attack by the militant group Hamas.
The vocal condemnation from Indian celebrities serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict and the importance of advocating for peace and justice on the global stage. As the international community grapples with the aftermath of the Rafah airstrike, the solidarity expressed by these celebrities offers hope for a peaceful resolution to the longstanding conflict in the region.

"I know you're thinking I'm heartless. I'm just protecting my soul."
Banished Sultan Rahmi Abdul | He/Him | 41 | Brazil | FC: Ekin Koc
NAME: Banished Sultan Rahmi Abdul TITLE: Former Sultan of Turkey, Current Advisor of Madagascar AGE: 41 FACECLAIM: Ekin Koc SEXUALITY: Bisexual MARITAL STATUS: Legally married to Haspira Singh, Betrothed to Prince Lianstoa of Madagascar POSITIVE TRAITS: Sensitive, Tender, Congenial, Sensible NEGATIVE TRAITS: Naive, Cowardly, Spineless, Gullible, Mercurial
The Story (So Far):
A near mirror image of the first Sultan of Turkey, many anticipated much of the same. His nature, however, is entirely that of his mother's. Rahmi was warm, congenial, and cursed with the heart of an artist. No talent for swordsmanship or politics, though his natural athleticism in sprints and games bequeathed him a sturdy figure. By his seventeenth birthday, it was apparent - although he looked like his father, he was not the magnificent ruler the world imagined him to be.
A young, ruling Sultan - Rahmi's rule was riddled with darkness. Manipulated by advisors, whispered lies by his courts... It was not long before Rahmi leaned into the Machiavellian nature of the former Sultan. The string of compromises accumulating to one, superseding the rest; commanding the death of his brother's spouse, the ruling Sultan of Persia.

"Machines Can See 2025" wraps in Dubai after two‑day showcase of AI
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/machines-can-see-2025-wraps-in-dubai-after-two%e2%80%91day-showcase-of-ai/
"Machines Can See 2025" wraps in Dubai after two‑day showcase of AI
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The third edition of Machines Can See (MCS) Summit has concluded at Dubai’s Museum of the Future. More than 300 start‑ups pitched to investors from EQT Ventures, Balderton, Lakestar, e& capital and Mubadala, and more than 3,500 delegates from 45 countries attended the summit, while online engagement levels were high (4.7 million views). Real-time updates with the #MCS2025 hashtag are projected to exceed 5 million views.
The summit was hosted by UAE-based Polynome Group under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Strategic backers included Digital Dubai, Dubai Police, Emirates, Amazon Web Services, NVIDIA, IBM, SAP, MBZUAI among others.
“In just three years, MCS has evolved from a specialist meet‑up into a true crossroads for the world’s top minds in science, business and public policy. The week proved that when researchers, entrepreneurs and governments share one stage, we move a step closer to transparent, human‑centred AI that delivers real value for society,” said Alexander Khanin, founder & CEO of Polynome Group
Landmark agreements announced live on stage
During the two‑day programme, several high‑profile agreements were signed at the summit, including:
A trilateral Memorandum of Understanding between Astana Hub (Kazakhstan), IT‑Park Uzbekistan and Al‑Farabi Innovation Hub (UAE), creating a Central‑Asia‑to‑MENA soft‑landing platform for high‑growth start‑ups.
A Google Cloud initiative offering no‑cost “Gen‑AI Leader” learning paths and discounted certification vouchers to accelerate responsible AI adoption across the region.
Polynome Group officially launched AI Academy, an educational initiative developed in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi School of Management and supported by NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute. The Academy will offer short executive seminars and a specialised four‑month Mini‑MBA in AI, aimed at equipping leaders and innovators with practical AI knowledge to bridge the gap between technology research and commercial application.
Policy & talent
Day one opened with a ministerial round‑table – “Wanted: AI to Retain and Attract Talent to the Country.” Ministers Omar Sultan Al Olama (UAE), Amr Talaat (Egypt), Gobind Singh Deo (Malaysia), Zhaslan Madiyev (Kazakhstan) and Meutya Hafid (Indonesia) detailed visa‑fast‑track programmes, national GPU clouds and cross‑border sandboxes designed to reverse brain‑drain and accelerate R&D.
Breakthrough research
Prof. Michael Bronstein (University of Oxford/Google DeepMind) demonstrated Geometric Deep Learning applications that shorten drug‑discovery timelines and model subatomic physics.
Marco Tempest (NASA JPL/MagicLab.nyc) blended GPT‑4o dialogue with mixed‑reality holograms, turning the stage into an interactive mind‑map.
Prof. Michal Irani (Weizmann Institute) showed perception‑to‑cognition systems capable of reconstructing scenes from a single gaze sequence.
Andrea Vedaldi (Oxford) premiered a 3‑D generative‑AI pipeline for instant city‑scale digital twins, while Marc Pollefeys (ETH Zurich/Microsoft) demonstrated real‑time spatial mapping at sub‑10 ms latency.
Industry workshops & panels
AWS ran a hands‑on clinic – “Building Enterprise Gen‑AI Applications” – covering RAG, agentic orchestration and secure deployment. NVIDIA’s workshop unveiled its platform approach to production generative‑AI on Hopper‑class GPUs, complementing its newly announced Service Delivery Partnership with Polynome Group’s legal entity, Intelligent Machines Consultancies. Dubai Police hosted a closed‑door DFA session on predictive policing, while X and AI workshops explored social‑data pipelines on GPU clusters.
The parallel Machines Can Create forum examined AI’s role in luxury, digital art and media, with speakers from HEC Paris, The Sandbox, IBM Research and BBC, culminating in the panel “Pixels and Palettes: The Canvas of Tomorrow.”
Prof. Marc Pollefeys, Director of the Mixed Reality and AI Lab at ETH Zurich and Microsoft, highlighted the role of cutting-edge technology in daily life: “We are at a turning point where technologies like spatial AI and real-time 3D mapping are moving from laboratories into everyday life, transforming cities, workplaces, and how we interact with the digital world. The Machines Can See Summit underscores how collaboration between researchers, industry, and policymakers accelerates this transition, bringing innovative solutions closer to everyone,” he said.
Ethical & security focus
Panels “Good AI: Between Hype and Mediocrity” and “Defending Intelligence: Navigating Adversarial Machine Learning” stressed the need for continuous audits, red‑teaming and transparent supply chains. Dubai Police, TII UAE and IBM urged adoption of ISO‑aligned governance tool‑kits to safeguard public‑sector deployments.
High‑profile awards
On Day Two, H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum presented trophies for the Global Prompt Engineering Championship, for breakthroughs in multilingual, safety-aligned LLM prompting.
Key takeaways
The summit underscored three strategic imperatives for the decade ahead. Talent aviation – backed by unified tech visas, national GPU clouds and government‑funded sandbox clusters – is emerging as the most effective antidote to AI brain‑drain. Spatial computing is moving from laboratory to street level as sub‑10‑millisecond mapping unlocks safe humanoid robotics and city‑scale augmented‑reality services. Finally, secure generative AI must couple adversarial robustness with transparent, explainable pipelines before the technology can achieve mass‑market adoption in regulated industries.
