A user asked Claude to make something about Western civilization and got back Prometheus II, a 2-minute cinematic piece sweeping from Euclid's first proof, a 1,900-year-old Roman dome, and Brunelleschi's impossible cathedral, through Magellan's 18 survivors, Watt turning fire into work, the Hoover Dam, and the first silicon chip — ending on a future where we harness an entire star. No lecturing, just acceleration you can feel. The rebroadcaster quips: taste is now a generation problem.
