Egyptian Pharoah Pepi II Coated His Slaves in Honey to Use as Fly Traps
Pepi II was an Egyptian pharaoh of the Old Kingdom who succeeded to the throne at the tender age of six.

Would You Like to Try the King Midas Feast? Chemical Analysis Revealed it was a Slap-up Meal
King Midas was a legendary figure in Greek mythology who ruled over Phrygia in western Anatolia. He is best-known for his ‘golden touch’, i.e. that everything he touched turned to gold. Behind this mythical figure, however, is a real person who lived during the 8th century BC. His tomb (or that of his forefathers) was discovered during the 1950s.

The story of Columbus is not at all that we have been told.

How Columbus, Of All People, Became a National Symbol
Christopher Columbus was a narcissist. He believed he was personally chosen by God for a mission that no one else could achieve. After 1493, he signed his name “xpo ferens” – “the Christbearer.” His stated goal was to accumulate enough wealth to recapture Jerusalem. His arrogance led to his downfall, that of millions of Native Americans – and eventually fostered his resurrection as the most enduring icon of the Americas.
