History has always held a deep fascination for me. I have an interest in a broad swath of it, but I’m most fascinated by times long past, such as ancient civilizations (particularly Egypt, Greece and Rome) and the Dark and Middle Ages. I do enjoy modern history, just not with the same passion. But one [...]

Imagine for a moment that you are a God-fearing, Christian citizen of the United States. You have brainwashed your children with fantastical stories of floods and genocide, horrified them from a young age with the promise of eternal damnation if they don’t believe you, and instilled in them your bigoted and hateful view of the [...]

Lunar New Year’s day was Sunday. That took me away from the computer for a few days with the in-laws. Lots of food. Lots and lots of it actually. I took it easy on the alcohol this year though, so no massive hangovers or silly drunken takes to relate. It was still all very tiring [...]

If you’ve any interest in history you probably know of Gavin Menzies and his controversial 2003 book 1421: The Year the Chinese Discovered America. His theory has come under quite a bit of criticism from the ‘experts’. Now, he has new ammunition on his side. An 18th century copy of an early 15th century map [...]
