A Nazi Let This Harmless Maid Inside His House. He Didn’t Know She Was There to Kill Him. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wilhelm Kube, a German journalist and general secretary of the Berlin chapter of the German National People’s Party during the Weimar Republic, wrote a stage play in 1920 about the 6th-century king of the Ostrogoths, Totila. Its reception was muted; the appetite for nationalist nostalgic material in the aftermath of the Great War was niche. But within three years of writing it, Kube found a political movement springing up in Germany that aligned with the ideology he’d tried to embed in his play:
Archaeologists Just Found the Place Where the World’s Greatest Conquerer Studied Under Aristotle (opens the original)

This story is a collaboration with Biography.com. Few men of history have fascinated scholars and laymen alike quite like Alexander the Great. Born to King Philip II of Macedon in 356 B.C.E., educated under Aristotle, and ascending to the throne at only 20 years of age, Alexander’s keen mind and military might became the stuff of legend. It’s a reputation that has only grown over the centuries, rather than lessened. For example, some 300 years after Alexander’s death, the writer Plutarch penned

Barrow, Commandant of the United States Marine Corps from 1979 to 1983, once remarked that “Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics.” Our schoolbooks taught us that wars were won or lost by way of battlefield tactics, but in many ways, the course of history has been shaped by whose supplies arrived in time. So, in that sense, the “rusty treasure” recently recovered from the depths of the Danube very well could have changed everything, had it reached its final desti
These Colonial Shipwrecks Vanished for 400 Years. Countless More May Be Hiding Near You. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In August 1559, Tristán de Luna y Arellano landed in what’s now Pensacola, Florida, anchoring his vessels near a bluff known as Emanuel Point. His expedition brought 1,500 soldiers, colonists, and enslaved people from Veracruz, Mexico, aboard 11 ships to establish the Luna settlement. Predating Jamestown by 48 years, the settlement only lasted two years, and during that time it was battered relentlessly by the forces of nature. In fact, just a month after the settlers’ arrival, a mighty hurrican
