Egypt has ever been a land of unsolved mystery, of tragedy and dramatic episodes. Her myths are so mingled with her history and prehistory that her authentic origins are even more uncertain than once were the sources of the Nile. The Western world has always been fascinated by Cleopatra, the last native ruler of Egypt until after the Muslims took over. But ethnically she was not a true Egyptian; her blood was Greek (Macedonian). Yet certain interests persist in trying to portray her as a negro....
The Celebration of Christmas on America has been through a lot of changes down through the decades and centuries. In fact, there was a time in New England when it was illegal to celebrate what is now perhaps our favorite holiday. But at least as early as 1608, Americans, white- and red-skinned alike, made merry on that special day. In 17th and early 18th century Colonial America, a Christmas celebration did not resemble the festivities that we are familiar with today. Christmas was considered...
If the south had won its war for independence, as the United States did some 80 years earlier, the world might today be a much better place for all of us—Northerners and Southerners, white and black alike, believe it or not.

But more than 100 years later, additional discoveries have proved the stele was indeed the real McCoy, although left there by Knights Templar of the Middle Ages rather than Thor-worshipping Norsemen. Very few books are truly capable of rewriting history, but The Hooked X: Key to the Secret History of North America, by Scott...
Here is a shocker: Winston Churchill1 carried on personal correspondence with his “deadly enemy,” Benito Mussolini, not only before but during WorldWar II. More extraordinary still, just wait till you learn the contents of those remarkable letters. Although still a popular controversy in Italy and, to a lesser degree, Britain and the United States, personal correspondence Winston Churchill carried on with Benito Mussolini before and during World War II is virtually unknown to the rest of...
According to a novel theory put forth by several diverse writers and researchers, Neanderthal man may not have died out after all, but his descendants (intermixed with others) may still be living among us today and are known collectively as “the Jews.” Not only the author but others have independently theorized that the Neanderthal is the true ancestors of the Jews.
