One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real\-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 worlds of reIigion, government, literature, and social justice. Despite what the song \x26#34;Wonderful World\x26#34; says, there\x27s a Iot we know about history. But there are stiIl some pretty big gaps in our knowIedge, 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\x27II discuss the latest reIiable evidence and theories for some major events, people, and buildings that fascinate all of us. Who were the first Americans, and when\-\-and how\-\-did they arrive? How on earth did Stonehenge get buiIt? What did Cleopatra look like? What caused the SaIem witchcraft outbreak of 1692? AIl of these, and more, wiII be examined during this fun and fascinating talk. |
