“Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search thereof when he is grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.” – Epicurus, Letter to Menoeceus
On this day, 12 November 1984, a group of anti-nuclear weapon activists damaged a nuclear missile silo in Missouri, using sledgehammers and an air hammer.
Helen Woodson, Larry Morgan, and Carl and Paul Kabat were subsequently arrested and given extremely long jail sentences. Morgan was jailed for 10 years, the Kabats for eight years each, and Woodson, a mother of 11 (pictured upon her release), ended up serving 27 years inside. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1852696024915539/?type=3
The ancient historian Herodotus was a Greek writer who lived in the midst of the 5th century BCE. He is known as the Father of History which was a title first given to him by the Roman orator Cicero for his famous work The Histories. In this video, we take a look at 7 of the most surprising stories from Herodotus’ Histories. Herodotus’ Histories is a 9 book tome that provides a detailed account of the Greco-Persian wars, as well as observations and stories from his travels to Greece, Egypt, and Asia Minor. Although some of the information has been challenged as exaggerated or incorrect (which can in some instances be blamed on issues of translation), he is still recognised as the father of history, with many of his accounts being confirmed by archaeological evidence!

Ancient Pompeii was a Roman city in the region of Campania. In 79 CE, the city and surrounding areas were completely covered in ash by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. This eruption and devastation of settlements would have been a tragedy in the ancient world, but it has meant that many things from the ancient world that are usually lost in time have survived to us, which makes Pompeii the richest Roman archaeological site found thus far.
In 1755, the city was finally rediscovered and from then on, excavations have been undertaken in the regions devastated by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. What was found in Pompeii changed many preconceived beliefs about the Roman world, like how common bronze statues actually were and how bronze was more commonly used in Roman art than previously thought. The skeletal remains of those who couldn’t flee the eruption and the plaster casts of them have shown us the damage to their teeth, caused by stone chips in bread and an over-sweet diet. Other invaluable finds from the site include textual evidence like inscriptions, wax tablets, signs, amphorae labels and graffiti. It’s the graffiti that has truly given us an insight into the thoughts, desires and daily lives of the ordinary people from Pompeii.

Join World History Encyclopedia as they talk to Garry Shaw, an Egyptologist and author of a brand new book Egyptian Mythology: A Travelers Guide From Aswan to Alexandria. Garry’s book on Egyptian mythology starts with a journey beginning in the south of Egypt, which is the traditional border in the region of Aswan, and then you travel northward to the Mediterranean Sea, stopping at various locations along the way, which have religious importance or a lot of mythology behind them. It’s a fun, different approach to Egyptian mythology than what you normally find in other Egyptian mythology books. Looking at the book as a whole, and also deep-diving into the sites of Saqqara, Pi-Ramesses and Tell-el-Amarna, just us as we take a journey down the Nile river with Garry Shaw!

The Phoenicians were the maritime superpowers of the Mediterranean. Their culture flourished and was at its most powerful between 1500 and 332 BCE when Alexander the Great entered the region and decimated the cities and their populations, bringing to an end the maritime superpower. The Phoenicians were a number of independent city-states that shared the same culture in the modern-day regions of Syria, Lebanon, and Northern Israel. The Phoenician alphabet was the first alphabet and is the basis for many western alphabets today.
The Phoenicians are probably best known for their production of purple dye which was accomplished by its extraction from the murex shellfish, a sea creature that pretty much became extinct in the region due to the popularity of the colour. The production of the dye first began in Tyre during the Bronze Age, which is why it is known as Tyrian purple. Deposits of murex shells have been found on the outskirts of Sidon and Tyre, as well as at Phoenician colonies across the Mediterranean, including Carthage. Carthage began as a small hill community on the North African Coast which is now modern day Tunis and it’s legendary founding of the city is dated to 814 BCE by the Phoenician Queen Elissa, better known as Queen Dido.

You may know him from the TV series Vikings, but Bjorn Ironside is a legendary Viking known from the medieval stories and historical sagas of raiding alongside his father Ragnar Lothbrok and his brothers, with the most well known being Ivar the Boneless, Hvitserk and Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye. The legends of Bjorn and his family are all set in the 9th century CE, but the three sources he is known from the best were all written in the 13th century, hundreds of years after the alleged facts.
What none of the sources mention about Bjorn are whether he had any wives, or the manner of his death. Much like the rest of Bjorn’s family, Bjorn Ironside may be inspired by one or even multiple famous Vikings from the 9th century and his life and heroic story is one of legend, rather than history. It seems that his epithet of ‘Ironside’ is quite literal, and refers to the strength of his sides. The adventures of Bjorn and his brothers take them all over from Scandinavia to Anglo Saxon England, and in some to Normandy, the Frankish Kingdoms and Lombardy!
