Almost every single person listening to this podcast right now is doing so on some sort of personal computing device. 

Many of the things that we consider part of a modern personal computer, windows, hyperlinks, a mouse, and a text editor, all were released upon the world in a single 90-minute demo in 1968. 

The ideas were so advanced it would take over two decades before most of them found themselves in everyone’s homes.

History is full of battles and conflicts. Most of them are forgotten over time as they don’t really impact history. Whether one king or another wins a battle usually doesn’t matter in the big scheme of things.

However, there are moments that truly change world history. When civilizations clash and the outcome can affect the world for centuries. 

Such a moment occurred on May 29, 1453.

It is a number which appears all over nature, even in places you wouldn’t expect it. It is also a number that has been known, or at least had been approximated, by civilizations for thousands of years.

Scientists love to classify things. Archeologists are no exception. One of the very first classifications systems that were developed, classified ancient history into three broad eras. 

This system was crude and it isn't really used among professionals anymore, but its simplicity has ensured that it still survives in casual use. 

Learn more about the three ages system: the stone age, the bronze age, and the iron age, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the Indiana Jones movies, Indiana is usually searching for a rare artifact with mystical powers while some other nefarious archeologist, usually a Nazi, is trying to find the artifact before Indy.

Believe it or not, that trope of a Nazi archeologist looking for an item of incredible power actually has a kernel of truth to it. 

Sort of.

The term Dark Ages has been used to refer to a period in European history when culture supposedly regressed and civilization was in decline.

The idea of a Dark Ages is one that was prevalent amongst historians for centuries.

But lately, historians have been reconsidering the idea of a Dark Age and questioning if there really was a Dark Age.

In the winter of 1932 and 1933, one of the greatest humanitarian disasters in human history occurred in what was then the province of Ukraine in the Soviet Union. 

Millions of people died, yet the event was ignored in most of the western press and wasn’t even officially acknowledged by the Soviet government until the 1980s. 

Today, most people in the world still aren’t aware of one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.

Thousands of years ago, humans discovered a black-yellowish liquid that come out from the ground and could burn when it was set on fire. 

Today, the fluid that seeped from the rocks is responsible for much of our modern world.

But how does that fluid become usable fuel, and how exactly do you get it out of the rocks?

Throughout history, there have been riots over many different things. 

Sports teams winning, sports teams losing, high prices, war protests, and police brutality, have all been a cause of riots at some point. 

However, in 1766, one town in England had perhaps one of the oddest riots of all time.

If you were to ask most people what the very first invention that humans came up with is, many of them might say the wheel. 

It isn’t a bad guess, but believe it not, the wheel was nowhere close to being the first invention. 

In fact, as far as we know, there were a whole bunch of things that were invented before the wheel, and in fact, probably had to have been invented before the wheel.

Learn more about why the wheel wasn’t invented sooner, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1940, the world was at war, but the United States wasn’t A strong isolationist sentiment kept the US on the sidelines while Germany and Japan ran roughshod over their neighbors. 

While the US wasn’t in the war, many people in the US military knew that it was only a matter of time before we got sucked in. 

Over a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor, a plan was developed for just that eventuality.

Countries, like people, have names. Sometimes those names are long and they have a shorter version of it for common use. 

There are some countries, however, that often have multiple names, and the names can be radically different from each other. They might want everyone to call it by one name, or by a certain name in a certain language, but no one does. 

Why do some countries have multiple names, and does it really make a difference?

On November 30, 1939, as part of their secret agreement with Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union invaded the nation of Finland. 

Despite the overwhelming numerical and military advantage, the Soviets were unable to advance very far and suffered heavy losses.

In 1648, Europe saw the end of two of the most horrific wars that had ever been seen on the continent up until that point. 

The treaties which ended these conflicts established an international order which overturned the system which had existed for centuries, and established a new order which in many respects, still exists today.

These voyages were led by a man who was the greatest admiral in history up to that point and the ships in his fleet were the largest wooden ships that the world would ever see.

When Napoleon Bonaparte conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century, he didn’t create a monolithic empire that was centrally run out of Paris.

Well, he sort of did, but at least on paper, he didn’t. Rather, what he did was set up his family members as monarchs to rule in his place. 

One of those family members who was set up as king ended up moving to New Jersey.

Every culture has a different way of assigning names to people. Sometimes they use different words as names, sometimes names are in a different order, and sometimes they have completely different systems altogether. 

One of the most complicated naming systems in history had to be that used by the ancient Romans. They had a very elaborate system for naming people, with different rules for men and women, and even special rules if you were adopted.

On July 16, 1945, at 5:29 am, 35 miles southwest of Socorro, New Mexico, the world’s first nuclear bomb was detonated. 

This was the culmination of the Manhattan Project, one of the largest, and most expensive programs in world history. 

Yet, just before the event, the scientists and engineers who worked on the project weren’t entirely sure it would work, and if it did, just what the results would be.

SCUBA diving is a popular activity that has recreational and commercial uses. 

Most people who have never gone SCUBA diving think that it is just a matter of breathing air out of a tank when you are underwater. However, there is a lot more to it.

In fact, solving the problem of underwater breathing wasn’t solved until after humans discovered artificial flight and split the atom.

During the second world war, one of the biggest efforts of the war was the Manhattan Project: the secret American program to create an atomic bomb. 

The scientists and staff of the Manhattan Project were in a race to beat Nazi Germany to be the first country to build the A-bomb. When Germany surrendered in May 1945, and Americans detonated the first device in July, they had seemingly won the race.

But was it in fact a race at all? How close were the Nazis to actually building an atom bomb?

When European explorers first discovered the ruins, they simply couldn’t believe that it was built by native Africans. 

Subsequent archeological investigations show not just that they were wrong, but that the civilization which was there had contact with some of the furthest reaches of the known world.

However, it might not hold that distinction for much longer. There is a new rocket in town and it might soon displace the Saturn V, and in the process, revolutionize space flight.

In the year 73 BC, Rome faced one of its greatest threats to its existence. An army of over 100,000 liberated slaves rose up in revolt and threatened the very fabric of the Roman Republic. 

The revolt was led by a gladiator slave who lead his motley army and, to the astonishment of Rome, managed to defeat many Roman legions.

For thousands of years, no one knew why the tides rose and fell, and even today, most people only have a vague idea of what drives the tides.
