The Pyramid Mysteries
The Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, has been the subject of debate and research for centuries. Many scientists, archaeologists, and history enthusiasts have sought to answer the question of how the pyramid was built. The prevailing theory, which has been taught in history classes, is that hundreds of ancient Egyptians carried huge blocks of limestone and granite to Giza and built a construction that was great indeed. The Pyramid of Khufu remained the tallest structure on earth made by humans for over 3,800 years. It was composed of 2.3 million stone blocks put together so precisely that a human hair could not pass through the adjoining blocks. The Great Pyramid was originally covered with highly polished limestone, which reflected the sunlight and made it shine like a star. The light was so strong it could be seen from the moon. The pyramid was also unique because it had inner passages going both up and down, unlike the other pyramids. It is the only eight-sided pyramid in Egypt, aligned with the stars in Orion's belt and pointed to the pole star alpha Draconis. Finally, it is the most accurately aligned construction ever created, facing true north. It is exactly at the center of the landmass of our planet, where the parallels and meridians which cross the most land only meet in two places on earth.

Titanic
On April 14th, 1912 at 11:40 p.m., the RMS Titanic experienced a catastrophic event that ultimately led to its demise three hours later at 2:20 a.m. on April 15th. The largest ship of its time disappeared beneath the ice-cold surface of the Atlantic Ocean, taking with it over 1500 lives, which accounted for more than two-thirds of all the people on board. The commonly held belief was that the ship had collided with an iceberg, but recent findings by scientists have debunked this theory. The Titanic was an impressive feat of engineering, measuring 882 feet 9 inches long, 92 feet wide, and 175 feet tall, with a usable volume of 46,000 328 tons. The ship had four massive smokestacks, each weighing 60 tons and extending 81.5 feet above the deck. The cost of the ship's construction was 7.5 million dollars, which, when adjusted for modern exchange rates and inflation in 2016, would be equivalent to 166 million dollars. The ship was built by 3,000 men working six days a week from 6:00 in the morning, and it took 26 months to complete. Unfortunately, eight people died during the building process, and 246 were injured.

Assassination of John F.Kennedy
On Friday, November 22nd, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the President of the United States, was assassinated. During his presidency, Kennedy presided over a period of heightened tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, known as the Cold War. He oversaw a significant increase in military spending on both nuclear and conventional forces, and increased the number of US advisors in Vietnam from 400 to 16,000. Kennedy also faced significant challenges in foreign policy, including the Bay of Pigs fiasco, which saw the failure of 1,400 Cuban exiles trained by the CIA to invade their own country. He also navigated the Cuban Missile Crisis, which resulted in the signing of the test ban treaty between the USSR and the USA, forbidding nuclear testing in the atmosphere. Additionally, Kennedy's time in office saw the construction of the Berlin Wall by the Soviets, which was intended to prevent refugees from fleeing from East Germany to West Germany. In a speech delivered in Berlin, Kennedy challenged Soviet oppression and gave hope to the people of the city.

Worlds Major Religions
Throughout history and across all cultures, humans have pondered the fundamental questions of existence: where did we come from, what is our place in the world, and what happens to us after we die? In response to these eternal mysteries, religions have emerged as systems of belief that have evolved over time. Driven by the conviction that some questions can only be answered through faith and an intuition that there is something greater than ourselves, religions offer a framework for understanding the world and our place in it.
