Rumors, Roses, and a Quiet Promise: The Legend of DiMaggio and Monroe

Amman Citadel: Layers of History and Civilization in Jordan
The Amman Citadel, perched on Jabal al-Qal’a, offers a living chronicle of civilizations stacked across time.

The Temple of Hercules, colossal ruins, Byzantine adaptations, and Umayyad architecture illustrate layers of cultural inheritance, interrupted by earthquakes and restored in modern times. The Archaeological Museum, once home to the Dead Sea Scrolls, deepens the story. Visiting reveals more than ruins—it is a lesson in how civilizations adapt, recycle, and endure, while raising questions about humanity’s future.

The Cola Wars: How America Fizzed, Fought, and Foamed From the 50s to the 90s
There are few battles in history that were waged not with bullets, but with bubbles.
