These nocturnal creatures often seek shelter in attics or basements, leading to property damage and health risks.

The Elamites
Beneath the passage of time lies the ancient Elamites, one of history's most intriguing civilizations. Thriving in the rugged highlands of the Iranian plateau, they exerted influence that extended well beyond their own territory, significantly impacting the cultural and political dynamics of Mesopotamia and adjacent regions. However, despite their importance, the Elamites often remain eclipsed by their more renowned neighbors—the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians.

Life Inside The Victorian Prisons
“It is not the prisoners who need reformation, it is the prisons “ — Oscar Wilde The Victorian Era reminds us of the “Class System”, when the wealthy lived in elegant surroundings and had plenty to eat and beautiful clothes to wear. The “Poor” class had virtually nothing to eat, nothing to wear and very often nowhere to live. When ‘prison’ was a better alternative to living ‘at home’, it does make us wonder (in 2025), just what was life like in Victorian prisons (in the 1800s)?

"Beneath the Sands of Time: The Controversial Discovery of a Subterranean Metropolis Under Egypt’s Pyramids"
The Eternal Allure of Egypt’s Mysteries The Great Pyramids of Giza, guardians of the desert for over 4,500 years, have long captivated humanity. These colossal structures, aligned with celestial precision, are testaments to the sophistication of ancient Egyptian civilization. Yet, as modern technology peels back layers of sand and stone, a provocative theory has emerged: beneath the pyramids and the Sphinx lies a sprawling subterranean network—a “hidden city” that could redefine Egyptology. This claim, however, has ignited fierce debate among experts, pitting traditional archaeologists against interdisciplinary researchers armed with radar scans and AI-driven simulations.

5 (un)Real Cryptids
You might know a thing or two about cryptids. You know the ones: Bigfoot, Mothman, and the Jersey Devil to name a few. No one knows for sure if they are really real or if people just see things. But that’s where the following former cryptids got their start.

Çatalhöyük
Approximately 12,500 years ago, the Earth experienced a significant transformation known as the Neolithic Revolution. This crucial change signified humanity's shift from a lifestyle of nomadic hunting and gathering to the establishment of agricultural communities, fundamentally reshaping the planet's climate, ecosystems, and social dynamics. In Anatolia, present-day Turkey, one of the most extraordinary examples of this transformation is Çatalhöyük, an extensive proto-city that provides an exceptional insight into early human civilization.

A Promise in the Morning Rain
Everything seemed to be cleansed by the early rain, and the world outside shone in the resulting gentle light. I met him in the little village of Windmere, which was tucked away on the outskirts of a mile-long forest. Instead of being a torrential downpour, the rain was a light mist that left the ground smelling delicious and damp. The world seemed to be waiting for something to happen, as seen by the unusually calm streets.

Morning Whispers in the Library
It was a delicate morning—one of those mornings when the world seemed to hold its breath, suspended between night and day—and inside the old library, rows upon rows of books stood like silent sentinels, their worn spines reflecting the glow of the morning sun. The air was heavy with the scent of old paper and dust, a mixture of age and wisdom that clung to the room like a comforting embrace. Emma loved this time of day, when the library was still asleep. The silence was never oppressive, but rather was full of the promise of stories yet to be told. Outside, the world was still quiet, as if the library had the ability to preserve time, to prolong the moments before the rest of the world rushed in.

Forgotten History: The Siege of Jadotville
In the early 1900’s while Europe’s strongest countries were in a scramble to see who could colonize Africa the fastest, Belgium would end up with more than you would expect. The small, linguistically confused country colonized Ruanda-Urundi in 1922-1962 later becoming Rwanda and Burundi, the Lado Enclave from 1884-1910 which is now the Central Equatoria province in South Sudan. The colony of The Belgian Congo lasted from 1908 to 1960 up until the people wanted independence, it would then be known as Republic of the Congo or Leopoldville up until 1964. (For this article I will be shortening the name to “RC.” Or “The RC.”) This would be the beginning of what we know now as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The RC’s battle for independence would be a long and extremely confusing one. From rebels with black market weapons fighting for control of the mineral rich country’s mines, to the Belgian army beefing up their presence, UN troops from all over the world, and deployment of some of France’s most decorated and seasoned Legionnaires. In this story, I will be digging up information that some wanted to stay hidden and give credit to the men who fought valiantly whether or not they had the means to. This is the story of the Siege of Jadotville.
