Alexander the Great: Hero or Tyrant?
Introduction Few historical figures are as polarizing as Alexander the Great. Born in 356 BCE in Macedonia, he created one of the largest empires in the ancient world before dying at just 32 years old. Lauded by some as a military genius and visionary leader who spread Hellenistic culture, and condemned by others as a ruthless conqueror who left chaos and death in his wake, Alexander’s legacy is a complex mosaic of heroism and tyranny. This article critically examines both aspects to determine whether Alexander deserves the title of “Great” — or something else entirely.

Having conquered Persia and stood victorious over mighty kings, Alexander sought new horizons. His ambition was as vast as his empire, and beyond the towering Hindu Kush mountains lay the fabled riches of the Indian subcontinent.

What History Books Don’t Tell You About Colonialism
🩸 What History Books Don’t Tell You About Colonialism → A Raw Look at the Wounds That Never Healed We were told it was about “civilization.” About trains, law, and the English language. We were taught names like Vasco da Gama, Columbus, and Clive as pioneers. We memorized dates of conquests, not massacres. We celebrated “discoveries,” not theft. And somewhere between the footnotes and glorified timelines, the truth was buried.

🪨Derinkuyu: The Ancient Underground City of Cappadocia in Turkey
🪨Derinkuyu: The Ancient Underground City of Cappadocia in Turkey 🌍 Deep beneath the arid plains of central Turkey, in the heart of the Cappadocia region, lies one of the most remarkable feats of ancient engineering ever discovered: the underground city of Derinkuyu. This vast subterranean complex, carved into soft volcanic rock, descends more than 85 meters (approximately 280 feet) below the earth’s surface and contains a network of tunnels, chambers, staircases, wells, and ventilation shafts that once served as a fully functioning city. It could house up to 20,000 people, along with their food, livestock, and belongings. The scale, complexity, and historical significance of Derinkuyu make it one of the most fascinating archaeological discoveries of the modern era.

⚔️ The Lindisfarne Raid of 793: The Thunder Before the Storm of the Viking Age 🛡️
In the year 793 CE, a catastrophe unfolded on the eastern shores of Anglo-Saxon England that would echo across the continent and mark the beginning of one of the most transformative eras in European history: the Viking Age. This event, the violent raid on the monastic island of Lindisfarne, was not the first Scandinavian incursion into the British Isles, but it was the first to shock contemporary chroniclers so deeply that it made its way into the annals of medieval history as a moment of divine terror and political warning. It is now recognized by historians as the symbolic start of nearly three centuries of Norse expansion, violence, exploration, and cultural exchange.
