REDISCOVER ROME
In the realm where Emperors hold sway and Gladiators entertain amidst opulent luxury, the ever-present peril of the Mediterranean Sea underscores Rome's dominance over the Western world for five centuries.

The Unseen Planet In Our Solar System
For millennia, humans were aware of only five planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, observable with basic telescopes or the naked eye under favorable conditions. In the late 18th century, Sir William Herschel, a renowned astronomer, discovered a new planet—a frosty blue one initially mistaken for a star—later recognized as Uranus. It orbits the Sun 19 times farther than Earth and takes 84 years to complete one revolution. Herschel also detected double stars and nebulae. In the mid-1800s, astronomers detected anomalies in Uranus' orbit, leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846. Despite theories about another planet between Mercury and the Sun, known as Vulcan, corroborated by the peculiar behavior of Mercury's orbit, no concrete evidence surfaced. Einstein's theory of general relativity later explained Mercury's orbit irregularity, suggesting space-time curvature by massive celestial bodies like planets alters orbits. While the Vulcan theory persisted, Einstein's explanation gained traction, and tests during solar eclipses aimed to validate his theory. Additionally, hypotheses about an undiscovered Planet 9 or Planet X beyond Neptune, affecting objects in the Kuiper Belt, emerged. The Nibiru myth, claiming a doomsday scenario in 2012, proved baseless, as calculations disproved its existence. Moreover, the 2011 Comet Elenin briefly misconstrued as Nibiru, dissipated harmlessly. These astronomical mysteries continue to intrigue, shaping our understanding of the solar system's complexities.
