We believe it's no coincidence that we ended up here. Nor could it have been pure chance that we met and decided to create this website in the very place depicted in a painting considered the earliest surviving view of Tallinn. This painting, called the Epitaph of the Brotherhood of Blackheads, commemorates its members who died at the Battle of Mount Jerusalem and dates back to 1561. Because it's the very first depiction of our hometown, nobody knows how it looked like, not only in prehistory but also in Estonia's written history, which begins in 1219.
