Whether it’s the mighty pyramids of Egypt or the majestic temples of Mexico, we have a good idea of what the past looked like. But what about our other senses: The tang of Roman fish sauce and the springy crust of Egyptian sourdough? The boom of medieval cannons and the clash of Viking swords? The frenzied plays of an Aztec ballgame...and the chilling reality that the losers might also lose their lives?

Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion—an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus—was to be worshipped as a god.

Tales of knights, lords, and ladies have held a prominent position in the western imagination since they were first told.

World War I wasn't just a war between empires. It was a turning point for humanity. It reshaped borders, destroyed monarchies, introduced weapons the world had never seen, and left millions dead. But beyond the trenches, treaties, and tanks, it was fought by people and entire nations struggling to survive. This isn’t just a timeline of dates and battles. This is the human story of the Great War—told with compassion, clarity, and historical depth.

During the 1920s, dozens of expeditions scoured the Chinese and Tibetan wilderness in search of the panda bear, a beast that many believed did not exist. When the two eldest sons of President Theodore Roosevelt sought the bear in 1928, they had little hope of success. Together with a team of scientists and naturalists, they accomplished what a decade of explorers could not, ultimately introducing the panda to the West. In the process, they documented a vanishing world and set off a new era of conservation biology.

If one wishes to understand what is happening today, they only need study the past. Claims that exposure of Epstein’s operation would lead to antisemitism tells you that the network was far larger than just a few intelligence agencies working together. The excesses given by defenders such as ‘yeah, but what about Hamas,’ or ‘sure, Bondi said she had the list, but what about the other criminals we are arresting’, are not mere diversions, they are Israeli talking points. It is evidently clear that nearly anyone in a position of power is compromised and blackmailed, particularly by ...

In June 1922 a movie was filmed in Elgin, starring locals. "A Romance of Elgin" may have been a lark sponsored by the Daily Courier newspaper, but that did not make it any less exciting. No ticket is needed to hear all about it in this echo from December 29, 1996.

'Illegals' zijn spionnen die onder een valse dekmantel in het Westen leven, ze wonen verspreid over de VS en Europa en leiden daar veelal doodgewone levens. Ze zijn jarenlang getraind met de identiteit van overleden mensen of andere weinig traceerbare personen. Het werk van deze superspionnen is buitengewoon zwaar en vraagt volledige opoffering. Ze hun ware identiteit niet eens aan hun kinderen vertellen. Vaak hebben ze de taak om netwerken te bouwen, gevoelige informatie te verzamelen of andere agenten te begeleiden en uit te betalen. Sinds Russische diplomatieke spionnen Europa zijn ...

The episode commences with the tragic disappearance of 15-year-old Robert Piest, whose fate serves as the catalyst for the unraveling of Gacy's heinous crimes.
