Ancient Aliens or Ancient Indians?
The standard history we all learn is pretty clear: the Wright brothers successfully launched the first airplane in 1903, and the first space shuttle came much later, in 1976. That’s the official story. But what if human history's timeline for flight is completely wrong? What if incredibly advanced planes and spacecraft were zipping around thousands of years ago, and they were even more sophisticated than the technology we have today?

The Price of the Ticket. AI-Generated.
My name is Maeve O'Connell, and I am seventeen years old. The world I knew is a ghost, receding into the mist behind the ship Liberty. It is a ghost of green fields turned black with blight, of the empty, rattling cough from the cottage next door, of my mother’s hand, cold in mine for the last time.

A Skull Older Than History: The 700,000-Year-Old Discovery That Challenges Everything We Thought We Knew
When a team of Greek paleoanthropologists brushed the dust off a mysterious skull fragment discovered deep within the Petralona Cave, they had no idea they were holding something that would ignite one of the biggest scientific debates of our time. Initial excitement soon turned into shock when dating tests suggested an age of—unbelievably—around 700,000 years.

Muhammad
Prophet Muhammad’s pbuh full name is Muhammad ibn AbduAllah ibn Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim ibn Abd Manaf. His family was a very respectable family who worked in politics and commerce in Mecca.

He was chosen by Allah to hold His message of Islam to the world by receiving revelations of the Quran that he was asked to spread to the whole world. He was Allah’s last messenger after Jesus, who promised his prophecy, to deliver the last and complete religion: Islam.

Wait, Do Elves Exist? Iceland Thinks So (And Maybe You Should Too)
If you walked up to a random person on the street right now and asked them if they believe in elves, they'd probably give you a look that says, "Did you eat one too many cookies?" We're not talking about Legolas or the folks from Middle-earth; we're talking about the actual, mythical kind. But here’s the kicker: If you asked that very same question in Iceland, many people might actually say yes. Over the years, numerous polls have shown that a majority of Icelanders believe in elves, or the "hidden folk," to some degree. This belief isn't just a quaint fairy tale, either. A few years back, a judge literally halted the building of a road in Iceland because it was thought it might disturb elves living in the area. That's real-world impact!

How Did a Lone Genius Solve the Greatest Challenge of His Age?
Compared with today, what was more wonderful about the world 200 years ago? My answer is: two centuries ago, the world still had vast blank spaces. A genius could stay home, pour their whole heart into something they loved, and—boom—create an invention that changed the world.

Is This Little Sea Creature the Key to Eternal Life?
Hey, I've got a question for you: do you want to live forever? Most of us do, right? The human desire to cheat death is perhaps the oldest quest in history. The pursuit of eternal life has been a cornerstone of human civilization for millennia. Just think about the sheer volume of stories and legends! We've heard of the mythical Fountain of Youth, sought after by explorers like Ponce de León, the spiritual power of the Holy Grail, and the centuries-long struggle of alchemists attempting to create the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Every major culture, from ancient Egypt to China, has its own tales about transcending mortality.

Extinct Animals That Might Still Be Hiding
Did you like Jurassic Park? I mean, I watched it like eight times in theaters. Eight! No joke. It makes me wonder, do you remember when you used to watch a movie a bunch of times in theaters? Do people still do that anymore? If I really like a movie now, I’ll probably watch it twice in theaters, tops. I could never spend the money and watch something seven or eight times anymore. Maybe because movie costs much more now, I don't know. I loved Jurassic Park because, hey, I love dinosaurs! Or, I should say, I like anything interesting that I have never seen before. For example, when I hear the term 'extinct animals,' I automatically think about the dodo bird. I like dodo birds mainly 'cuz I think their name sounds really funny. I mean, dodo.

Did Super-Advanced Civilizations Exist Millions of Years Ago?
When did the first humans show up on Earth? It’s an age-old question, and the answer, of course, really depends on what you believe. Most textbooks will tell you that modern humans evolved in Africa about 250,000 years ago. Now, we know that sophisticated political and social organizations existed in Mesopotamia as far back as 4700 BC, and most of the societies we call "civilizations" started taking shape around 3000 BC. Think about the movies you’ve seen—Neanderthals living in caves, using simple stone tools, and being afraid of fire. Even as civilizations began, life was still pretty simple and technologically... basic. When we think about past civilizations, especially those from thousands of years ago, advanced technology isn't what comes to mind.
