The Olympics' History
The Olympics, a universally recognized symbol, transcends linguistic, cultural, and generational boundaries. Its grandeur as the pinnacle of athleticism belies a complex history that dates back to 776 BC in ancient Greece. However, these early Olympics bear little resemblance to the modern spectacle. Participants engaged in events au naturel, sometimes to fatal extremes, as homage to pagan gods. Remarkably, this tradition served as a temporary respite from political turbulence, uniting people to honor deities through sport.

Cracking the Code of Oppenheimer's Enigmatic Secret City
"Now I am become death.” “The destroyer of worlds.” P.O. Box 1663 was listed as a Santa Fe, New Mexico address in 1943. And over the next few years, about 300 babies had it listed as their place of birth on their birth certificates. Because the real location was a secret. Everything sent to that P.O. box ended up here: 33 miles from Santa Fe at a site also known as P.O. Box 180, Project Y, and Los Alamos, New Mexico. A secret city had been built there. And it was home to a community of scientists. “Scientists of many nations.” The scientists who created the first nuclear bomb. They lived a couple of hundred miles from the site where their invention would be tested. “New Mexico desert.” Trinity. How did laboratory director J. Robert Oppenheimer end up building a town and testing the first nuclear bomb here?

Some myths about the middle ages
Step into the pages of medieval Europe, a realm shrouded in misconception and mystery. Often depicted as a land populated by unwashed, sword-wielding knights who dined on spoiled fare, adhered to a flat Earth belief, gallantly defended chastity-belt-clad maidens, and reveled in the grotesque torture of their adversaries, this portrayal is more the stuff of fiction than historical reality. Delving into the origins of these myths and contrasting them with the actual historical landscape of the Middle Ages uncovers a nuanced picture of a bygone era.
