The Storm from the Steppe. AI-Generated.
Before he was Genghis Khan, the "Universal Ruler," he was Temujin, a boy hunted and abandoned. His father, a minor chieftain, was poisoned. His family was cast out by their tribe, left to starve in the brutal wilderness of the steppe. He knew the taste of hunger, the bite of betrayal, and the absolute law of the land: only the strong survive.

The Shadow of an Empire. AI-Generated.
They called him Alexandros Megas—Alexander the Great. By the age of thirty, he held an empire that stretched from the shores of Greece to the banks of the Indus River, a tapestry of nations woven together by the sheer force of his will. He was the undefeated commander, the king who had toppled the Persian colossus, the living son of a god in the eyes of many. Yet, in the silent moments in his tent, surrounded by maps with no blank spaces left to fill, a strange emptiness echoed.

Human Sacrifice part 2 . AI-Generated.
The logic behind sacrifice was harsh, but it made sense to those who believed in it. If the world was out of balance, someone had to pay the price to restore order. A bad harvest might cost the life of a sheep. A drought could demand a bull. But when a nation was in crisis, it was a human life that was required. While it’s easy to view these acts as cruelty, to them, it was just cosmic accounting. The universe, they believed, kept a ledger, and debts had to be paid in blood.

Why Were Roman Emperors So Damn Evil?
I have always taken a huge fascination with the history of the Roman Empire. It's crazy to learn how many good and bad emperors that ruled back in the day, and how they used their power to either aid or rule with an iron fist.

Journey of the Modern Archaeologist
Archaeology has long been romanticized as a profession of dusty excavation sites, ancient ruins, and explorers trekking through uncharted lands. While this image still holds some truth, the path of the modern archaeologist looks vastly different from the traditional adventurer we imagine. Today’s archaeologists blend scientific precision with cutting-edge technology, merging old-world curiosity with new-age innovation. Their role is not just to discover artifacts but to reconstruct human history, analyze cultural patterns, and interpret the stories of people who lived thousands of years ago. The journey of the modern archaeologist is a journey between worlds — between past and present, mystery and evidence, mythology and science.
