Welcome to my little world

Small stories.
Big adventures.

Short history tales, illustrated videos, useful finds, and whatever I make next. Made by one curious mind and a very small general.

One curious mind.
Many places to go.

Timeless Tales began with short stories from the past. It keeps growing into a place for the films I make, the things I learn, and the useful finds I want to share.

Chapter one

The past has
good stories.

Why do borders bend? Where did whole empires go? Napoleon and I turn big questions into short illustrated journeys.

Read the stories

A few recent tales

  1. 01Why Poland lost the east and gained the west
  2. 02How did Prussia disappear forever?
  3. 03Why is Kaliningrad Russian?
  4. 04How Portugal became a separate country

Chapter two

Made one frame
at a time.

Behind each short are sketches, maps, voice lines, edits and small ideas that become a world of their own. This is where I share the making, too.

See the videos
An illustrated camera films the little general presenting a handmade sailboat at sunset. Sketch. Shoot. Tell the story.
The illustrated general studies a robot vacuum while reading a small red book.

Chapter three

Useful things,
honestly shared.

Buying guides and product notes for curious people. I compare the details, show prices in dirhams, and explain what is worth a closer look.

The person behind the hat

Hi, I'm the one
making all this.

I make Timeless Tales: short, funny videos about strange borders, vanished empires and mysteries that still make me curious. Every map, joke and voice line starts with a question.

The little general came along for the journey. Now I am building a home for every part of the work—and for the new things I try next.

More about me
