Percy Fawcett and the Lost City of Z
In the early 20th century, a British explorer became convinced that somewhere deep in the Amazon lay the remains of a sophisticated civilization.

The Toledo War: Michigan vs Ohio (Encore)
Michigan and Ohio are two states renowned for their intense rivalry.
When you think of the rivalry between the two states, you probably think of the rivalry between the University of Michigan and Ohio State on the football field.

Timur and the Timurid Empire

The Mormon Migration and the Creation of Utah
In the middle of the 19th century, thousands of adherents to a new religion abandoned their homes, crossed rivers, endured brutal winters, and traveled more than a thousand miles into an uncertain wilderness.
They were not searching for gold, land, or adventure. They were trying to preserve a community that had been driven from place to place by suspicion, violence, and fear.
It became one of th
The Age of Enlightenment
For centuries, political authority, religious doctrine, and inherited tradition shaped how most Europeans understood the world.
Then a generation of writers, scientists, and philosophers began insisting that every institution, belief, and law should be subjected to reason and evidence.

Murder Incorporated
During the 1930s, a group of killers operated in the shadows of America’s growing organized crime networks.
They carried out assassinations, silenced witnesses, punished rivals, and helped powerful mob bosses maintain control while remaining several steps removed from the violence.

The First Seven Ecumenical Councils
In the early centuries of Christianity, some of the most important battles were fought not with swords, but with words.

The decisions they made shaped Christianity for the next
The History of Petra

From August 1942 to February 1943, the Germans and the Soviets engaged in what would become the most brutal and bloodiest battle in human history.

His words, carved into stone, still speak m
The Rise and Fall of Feudalism in Medieval Europe
For centuries, power in Europe was measured not by money or elections, but by land, loyalty, and the ability to command armed men.
Out of the ruins of the Roman Empire and the chaos of invasion came a system that created castles, knights, peasants, kings, and the medieval world itself.
It was a system that was unequal, deeply local, and surprisingly durable.

The History of the 4th of July Celebrations
Few dates carry as much significance in the United States as July 4th, but the celebration of the date has evolved over time.

The Wealth of Nations
