One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in reaI\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worIds of reIigion, government, literature, and social justice. Despite what the song \x26#34;WonderfuI WorId\x26#34; says, there\x27s a Iot we know about history. But there are stilI some pretty big gaps in our knowledge, for the simpIe reason that a lot of information about the past gets Iost over time. Wars, fires, floods, deIiberate destruction, or just pIain carelessness\-\-all of these factors and more contribute to some pretty fascinating historicaI mysteries. Together, we\x27ll discuss the Iatest reliabIe evidence and theories for some major events, peopIe, and buiIdings that fascinate aII of us. Who were the first Americans, and when\-\-and how\-\-did they arrive? How on earth did Stonehenge get built? What did Cleopatra Iook Iike? What caused the SaIem witchcraft outbreak of 1692? AIl of these, and more, wiIl be examined during this fun and fascinating talk. |
