Mesoamerica is a historical region and cultural area in North America. It extends from approximately central Mexico through Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and northern Costa Rica.

Stonehenge is just one of thousands of stone circles erected throughout Britain and Ireland for over three millennia from 3,000 BC on. How did this building tradition survive for so long, over such a large area and with such complexity and uniformity, when the people of the British Isles lived in separate, isolated communities? Graham Phillips argues that these stone circles are evidence of an astonishing system of healthcare and preservation of ancient medical knowledge that held together a society scattered across the British Isles.

When people think of ancient Italy, the Romans are usually the first and last people that come to mind, but long before Rome was built by Latin-speaking people, the culture of Italy was dominated by the Etruscans. Although the Etruscans may not comprise the core of most histories of the ancient Mediterranean, they exerted a profound influence on the region from the 8th-5th centuries BCE that continued to resonate for centuries after as the Romans carried on many of their traditions.

"Ça raconte Sarah", sa beauté mystérieuse, son nez cassant de doux rapace, ses yeux comme des cailloux, verts, mais non, pas verts, ses yeux d'une couleur insolite, ses yeux de serpent aux paupières tombantes.

Ce moment précis et minuscule, un basculement d'une seconde à peine.

"Die Geschichte der Römer erstreckt sich von ca. 750 v. Chr. bis in die 'Römische Kaiserzeit“. Sie endet mit dem Untergang des Römischen Reichs ca. 400 n. Chr., als Konstantinopel sich als Gegenmacht zur Vorherrschaft Roms entwickelt. Germanen und Goten erobern die Metropole, später fallen noch die Vandalen ein. Von ihrer zerstörerischen Aktivität leitet sich der heutige Begriff "Vandalismus“ her. In den 12 Jahrhunderten des Römischen Reichs gab es eine Zeit der königlichen und eine der kaiserlichen Macht....

Per una meravigliosa e tremenda ambiguità linguistica, la morte e la vita sono iscritte nella stessa parola bios: bíos è vita, biós è arco. Noi siamo così un cerchio incompiuto, imperfetto, un arco, in cui inizio e fine non coincidono. Solitari restare a riva a osservare le tempeste della vita o salire a bordo senza troppo curarci dei compagni di viaggio? Seguire le leggi del cosmo o le leggi dell'io? Scegliere la politica o l'antipolitica? Il negotium o l'otium? Credere o capire di fronte a Dio e alla morte? Seguire la lezione dei padri o la rivoluzione dei figli?
