Ask and ye shall receive! After a long, long hiatus to do a bit more reputable history for almost a year, it’s time to delve back into the crank files and check out more theories about visitors to the Americas before Columbus. Today we will even go one step further, let’s see if Columbus was even the first, i mean second European to step foot on American, i mean Barbadian land.
This series explores the question, "Was Columbus really the first person to land in America?". It explores theories that range from the confirmed, to bizarre in this tour of alternate explorers who made it to America's Shores: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfcOf7-elRs&list=PLnpoOo7lhNnGNogkwUgl18WydCIi7QSgr

Let’s talk about the fasces, a symbol which defined Italian Fascism’s anti-democratic regime, the power of the people in Rome, and whatever it represents as it sits today in the US Congress. Let’s take a look.
The Endless Knot: http://www.alliterative.net/
Humans love symbols. Many of which have interesting pasts and have come to mean powerful, wonderful, or terrible things. Let's explore those stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn9PjP908Q8&list=PLnpoOo7lhNnESfafLNzc6DIPZYjsp_N99
