Ashes in Her Eyes: A Child’s Memory of War
Ashes in Her Eyes: A Child’s Memory of War She doesn’t remember when the sky changed color. One day it was blue—bright and full of clouds shaped like rabbits. The next, it was gray, thick with smoke, and roaring louder than any storm she'd ever heard. Mila was only six when the war came to her street, and by the time it left, nothing was the same—not her house, not her teddy bear, and not her heart.

The Forgotten Whaling Ports of the Eastern Seaboard
On a foggy morning in 1847, a solitary figure stood on a creaking New England pier, staring out into a gray and endless horizon. The brine of the Atlantic clung to his coat, and somewhere in the mist, a ship’s bell tolled. Around him, the harbor groaned with life: men heaving barrels of whale oil onto carts, the smell of salted blubber drifting through the air, gulls circling with their mournful cries. It was the heartbeat of a world now almost forgotten—a world where tiny coastal towns lit the globe with the oil of giants from the sea.

The Ophanim: Unraveling the Mystery of the Wheel Angels
The Ophanim: Unraveling the Mystery of the Wheel Angels When we picture an angel, we often envision a serene figure with magnificent wings, a gentle countenance, and a benevolent aura. But within the celestial hierarchy, there exists an order of angels whose appearance is far more abstract, powerful, and enigmatic. These are the Ophanim, the so-called "wheel angels," whose very form defies human understanding and whose purpose is tied to the most profound mystery of the divine throne.

Ghost Towns You Can Actually Visit
There’s a special hush that settles over a ghost town. Its not just silence, its history holding its breath. Wooden sidewalks creak underfoot, doors hang slightly ajar, and the wind whistles through empty window frames like a ghostly flute. Visiting a ghost town isn’t like strolling through a museum or a park. It’s stepping into a paused moment in time, where the bustle of miners, shopkeepers, and schoolchildren faded long ago.

Famine Unfolding Across Gaza, Says Global Hunger Monitor
Global Hunger Monitor reports that famine is spreading throughout Gaza. According to a new report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global organization that monitors hunger, a humanitarian crisis is engulfing Gaza as famine conditions spread throughout the territory. For hundreds of thousands of civilians, widespread malnutrition, hunger, and starvation are now a dire reality, according to the report, which warns that large segments of the population in Gaza are experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. The IPC, which classifies food insecurity into five phases—ranging from minimal to famine—has placed much of Gaza in Phase 5: Catastrophe/Famine. Extreme hunger, acute malnutrition, and excessive mortality are all indicators of this phase. The situation, the IPC notes, is unprecedented in modern history in terms of speed, scale, and severity.

The Holy Templars: Guardians of a Forbidden Faith? And The Betrayal by the Church
The Holy Templars In the years following the First Crusade, when the blood of holy war still stained the sands of Jerusalem, a mysterious brotherhood emerged from the chaos, a group of pious knights who swore vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, dedicating themselves to a divine mission. Their leader, Hugues de Payens, presented their request to King Baldwin II, not seeking riches or titles, but something far more unusual. They asked to be stationed on the Temple Mount itself, among the remnants of what had once been the great Temple of Solomon, and the king agreed.
