So, like Ed at Incredulous, I was pretty wowed by this piece of artwork by a poster on the subreddit CreativeAtheists which I spoke about before (created by one of our own SINners). It is by a person called Moultano.
The artist posted this comment to explain the text on the inside of the peel:
The snippets of text are all from great works of history, arranged in chronological order from the tip of the peel to the body of the apple. I picked one of the most famous lines from each, in the original language. In order:
Lascaux Cave Paintings
Gilgamesh (Sumerian)
The Eloquent Peasant (ancient Egyptian)
Code of Hammurabi (Babylonian)
Old Testament (Hebrew)
The Odyssey – Homer (Ancient Greek)
Bagavad Gita (Sanscrit)
Metamorphosis – Ovid (Latin)
New Testament (Greek)
Qur’an (Arabic)
Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing – Hisab al-jabr w’al-muqabala (Arabic)
Faust – Goethe (German)
Macbeth – Shakespeare (English)
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica – Newton (Latin)
On the Origin of Species – Darwin (English)
Maxwell’s Equations (Math)
Relativity – Einstein (Math)

Nice!
