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.

Black weapon
Gunpowder was invented in China during the 9th century.[21][22][23] The first firearm was the fire lance, which appeared in China between the 10–12th centuries.[24][25][26] It was depicted in a silk painting dated to the mid-10th but textual evidence of its use does not appear until 1132, describing the siege of De'an.[24] It consisted of a bamboo tube of gunpowder tied to a spear or other polearm. By the late 1100s, ingredients such as pieces of shrapnel like porcelain shards or small iron pellets were added to the tube so that they would be blown out with the gunpowder.[27] It was relatively short ranged and had a range of roughly 3 meters by the early 13th century.[28] This fire lance is considered by some historians to be a "proto-gun" because its projectiles did not occlude the barrel.[15] There was also another "proto-gun" called the eruptor, according to Joseph Needham, which did not have a lance but still did not shoot projectiles which occluded the barrel.[16]
