Why Judging a Person by Their Skin Colour Defies Logic
For centuries, mankind has been obsessed with the colour of skin. This obsession has resulted in people taking radical steps to alter their own skin colour, risking serious harm for the sake of ‘beauty’ and sexual attraction, as well as leading to a profound prejudice of races of people different from our own who may have either a darker or lighter skin tone. What is it that makes us so obsessed with skin colour and is there any logical basis to people’s perceptions of skin colour?

Why Do Babies in Medieval Art Look Like Creepy Middle-Aged Men? (Video)
In medieval art, depictions of babies are far from the cherubic, innocent infants we imagine today. Instead, they appear as miniature adults, complete with mature features that can be quite unsettling. This peculiar artistic choice can be attributed to several factors. First and foremost, the influence of Christian theology played a significant role.

Desperate Lesser-Known Emperors Facing A Disintegrating Western Roman Empire: 455-476 AD
The assassination of Emperor Valentinian III in March 455 AD, heralded the last phase of the Western Roman Empire’s political existence. By then, large parts of its territory were either occupied by untrustworthy federated Germanic ‘allies’ or illegitimately conquered by invaders. With the loss of Africa to the Vandals, the Western Empire lost its last important source of revenue and main source of grain.

This is not a new phenomenon; people have been writing books like these since the invention of writing. Yet the most successful tell-all texts have the same thing in common: access to the subject. A great example is Anna Komnene’s Alexiad.

Contemplating the Navel: The Origins of Ancient Mindfulness
The words of the 16th-century Bishop of Geneva, Saint Francis de Sales, are truer today than ever before: “Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed“. Before pop-psychology and self-help books appeared in the 1970s, for at least 5,000 years the process of discovering who one truly is, required years of self-reflection through controlled meditational practice.

What Makes Spartan Women So Different From Other Ancients?
In Sparta, the individual did not matter. Everything was for the preservation and continuous strengthening of the state. They built no walls since they welcomed any to challenge invasion. They lit no nightly fires to remain hidden in the dark. They spoke with so few words, so plain and directly that they keyed the adjective ‘laconic’, which derives from the Spartan Province of Laconia.
