1. 8 Forbidden Books That Still Rewrote History

   We hear a lot about censorship in the news today but it’s nothing new. In fact, the word comes from the Latin word censeo, which means to assess. Almost as soon as the printing press was introduced to the West in 1450, those in power began banning books that challenged the status quo or their grip on power. But the banning of books is a tale as old as time and has been around in some form or another for thousands of years. Books and scrolls that weren’t outright banned were often censored into oblivion or simply burnt.

5. Did a Welsh Prince Reach the New World Before Columbus?

   The Italian explorer Christopher Columbus (1451-1506 AD) has already been dethroned as the European discoverer of the Americas. Most historians now agree that the first known Europeans in the New World were the Vikings led by Leif Erikson around 1000 AD. There is, however, another European who is also claimed to have reached the New World before 1492, the Welsh Prince Madoc (Madog). He is said to have gone to the New World with a fleet of ships between the years 1170 and 1171 AD.

In China, archaeologists have found elongated skulls showing the widespread practice of cranial deformations, dating back possibly 12,000 years.
