Input A is an invention or technology
Analyze: how this innovation appeared independently or was transmitted across ancient civilizations (Egyptian, Chinese, Islamic, Mayan, Greek, etc.).
Goal: Miniature bridge structure connecting 3-5 civilization "islands."
Rules:
* Base: ancient world map (aged parchment) as foundation
* Bridge structure: ornate multi-level walkway with different architectural styles for each section (columns, arches, pagoda elements)
* Each "island" platform: distinct civilization's version of {argument name="invention" default="Input A invention"} (Chinese compass vs Viking sunstone, Mayan zero vs Indian zero, etc.)
* Civilization figurines: tiny scholars/inventors from each culture examining each other's versions
* Include: trade route markers, tiny ships/caravans between islands, scrolls being passed
* Center of bridge: the "universal truth" they all discovered (mathematical formula, physical principle) etched in neutral symbol
* Materials: stone textures, gold leaf accents, cultural pattern details
* Lighting: mystical golden hour with light ray connecting all islands
Output: 1 x image, 16:9 landscape for maximum bridge span visibility, mythological epic photography
