Popular Misconception About Ancient Rome
Historiography is the study of how history is researched and written. And one of its key lessons is that looks can be deceiving. During the Renaissance, people became fascinated by the art produced by the ancient Greeks and Romans, especially statues. These statues had originally been painted in a variety of shades and colors by their original creators. But by the Renaissance, all of these paints and dyes had chipped off due to wear and elemental exposure. Modern researchers have since used ultraviolet and infrared technology to analyze the ancient statues, examining layers of paints and coatings that remain invisible to the naked eye. I wonder if any of these artists draw that cool S we were all obsessed with in middle school. But the Renaissance artists, who took their technically incorrect inspiration from the Greeks and Romans, made their sculptures unpainted, giving us the pure white marble look we still associate with ancient sculptures today. Copying someone's homework incorrectly-- who wasn't guilty of that crime? As many of these statues depict the ancient Romans wearing togas, this led to the widespread presumption that togas were everyday casual wear throughout the Roman Empire. But in fact, togas were not all that common.

How America Became A Superpower?
The modern United States is the most powerful country in human history. With over 800 military bases and 37% of global military spending, the United States has become the leader of a vast interconnected global system that has helped usher in an era of unprecedented prosperity and low levels of conflict. To understand America’s position in the world, and why it’s so pivotal for world politics as we know it, you have to go back to the country’s founding — back to when America wasn’t a global power in any sense of the word. During the first 70 years of its existence, the United States expanded in both territory and influence in North America eventually reaching the Pacific Ocean in a wave of expansionism that resulted in the wholesale slaughter of the indigenous people who populated the continent. But early Americans were deeply divided as to whether the country should expand beyond the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. This became a major debate after the civil war, when some leaders, like post-war Secretary of State Seward, argued that America should push to become a global power.

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.
