The Mysterious Dolmens of the Caucasus
The Western Caucasus, extending over 275,000 ha of the extreme western end of the Caucasus mountains and located 50 km north-east of the Black Sea, is one of the few large mountain areas of Europe that has not experienced significant human impact. Yet dotted within the pristine landscape are thousands of ancient megalithic structures built many millennia ago. Archaeologists do not know who built them, where the stones came from, or what their true purpose was, leading to much speculation in the scientific community.

Legacy Of Vespasian Founder Of The Roman Flavian Dynasty
The death of Emperor Nero in 68 AD ended the Julio-Claudian dynasty of Roman Emperors. It also initiated a succession crisis which degenerated into a short but deadly civil war. This was the first such event to occur in the imperial period of the Roman Empire, a political regime inaugurated by Emperor Augustus in 27 BC. Nero’s inept reign had emptied the State’s coffers, triggered military mutinies and sparked major revolts within the Empire, the most significant being the Judean uprising in 66.

The ancient Chinese and South Asian cultures reflected an early interest in the idea that one could build a machine to take to the air, even if the technology to be able to do so was not yet available. What is remarkable, moreover, is the universality of such an idea, and in fact, an echo of the South Asian tales of flying vehicles, and deities using such conveyances, even appears in folklore from the far northern reaches of the Asian continent.
