    From scraps of papyrus to shapes carved into stone and wood, there's nothing more fascinating to anthropologists, archeologists and paleontologists than the visual abstractions left behind by former inhabitants of this planet. Even more intriguing are symbols meant to mislead and deceive, like the signs left by secret, medieval societies like the Freemasons and Knights Templar. Before The Da Vinci Code there lies a two-thousand year history of myth and symbolism, an attempt by Man to distill in a few figures the nature of himself and God. For those who desire to crack this code, the journey is long and arduous, but the reward may be...read more

    The Articles of Confederation: On November 15th, 1777 The Articles of Confederation became the first constitution of the United States, though not yet ratified by the thirteen original colonies. Ratification of the Articles took place almost three and a half years later on March 1st, 1781. The purpose of the articles was to create a confederation of sovereign states with a weak central government; thus allowing state governments to wield most of the power. It wasn't long before the need for a stronger federal government was realized which led to the Articles being replaced by the United States Constitution. The Articles of Confederation is the common term for The Articles of Confederation...read more

    Una de las fechas más significativas durante el reinado de los Reyes Católicos fue la del 12 de Octubre de 1492: el día en que Cristóbal Colón descubrió América. El hecho de que Cristóbal Colón (que no era Español de origen) acudiera a una corte extranjera para ofrecer sus servicios prueba que el descubrimiento de América no fue en modo alguno accidental. Portugal y Castilla (España) estaban muy avanzados en la exploración de rutas mercantiles marítimas y Sevilla, una rica y populosa ciudad Española era por entonces un importante centro comercial. One of the most significant dates during the reign of the Catholic kings was that of October 12th 1492: the day that...read more
