The Story of George McJunkin, a Hidden...

February 21, 2022

This story was originally published on SAPIENS and appears here under a CC BY-ND 4.0 license. As a historian of science, I am interested in determining who gets credit for scientific discoveries and why. Sadly, credit often goes to the powerful and connected, not to the people who actually do the work. Gender, race, status, and age discrimination often play a role in these narratives. Examples of scientific injustice are finally entering more of the public’s consciousness, however. One...

Colchester’s Roman Circus in Essex, England

February 21, 2022

This is Britain’s only known Roman chariot-racing track. Located in Roman Britain’s capital city, Colchester, the circus seated more than 5,000 spectators and was used for around 150 years. The circus was likely built at the same time as the city’s ancient walls, during the revival that followed the city’s destruction in Boudica’s fiery 61 CE rebellion. At well over 1,00 feet in length, with pipes indicating the presence of elaborate fountains marking each lap, the ornate stadium is...

De Hef in Rotterdam, Netherlands

February 21, 2022

This historical railway bridge is dear to many Rotterdam residents, as it’s the first structure that was restored after a devastating bombing during World War II. The bridge was built in 1927 to replace an old rotating bridge from 1878. This old bridge was a big issue at that time due to how slowly it operated, slowing down both the water and rail traffic. All of this frustration peaked when a German ship collided with the central part in...

Old Airport Control Tower in Cancún, Mexico

February 21, 2022

While archaeological sites such as El Rey and San Miguelito show that the area that is now Cancún has been inhabited by the Maya up until shortly after Spanish conquest, the modern-day city can be said to have been conceived in 1969-70. It was during these years that the organization now known as FONATUR, Mexico‘s Tourism Investment Board, recognized that the area’s pristine Caribbean beaches had great potential as a resort. The long island, divided from the mainland by the...

The Armour-Stiner Octagon House in Irvington, New...

February 21, 2022

Mimicking the design of Donato Bramante’s 1502 Tempietto in Rome, the dome on this brightly painted abode isn’t the only thing that sets it apart from its neighbors. Originally constructed sans dome and cupola in 1859-1860 for New York financier Paul J. Armour, the home has been occupied by a tea importer, an adventurer, a famous poet, and an architect, all of whom have left their own unique marks. Paul J. Armour likely got the idea for the shape of...

This Torres Strait Islander Chef Wants You...

February 18, 2022

Some of Nornie Bero’s earliest memories involve hunting for octopuses, periwinkles, and all sorts of shellfish on the reef surrounding Mer Island. As a member of the Komet tribe, one of eight Aboriginal tribes on the small Torres Strait Island in Queensland, Australia, Bero grew up with a deep appreciation for Indigenous culinary traditions. Yet when she ventured into the hospitality industry at age 18, she seldom saw these ingredients and techniques in Australian kitchens and restaurants. All that...

Albrecht Dürer's Grave in Nuremberg, Germany

February 18, 2022

In the 13th century, this cemetery and its corresponding chapel were built outside the walls of the city of Nuremberg. Over the centuries, St. Johannis Church served as the burial place of important people who lived in the city, including one of the most famous German painters of the Renaissance: Albrecht Dürer. Born in 1471, Dürer was an artist and theorist of the German Renaissance whose vast body of work includes engravings, oil and watercolor paintings, and books. He...

The World Has Two New Flying Dinosaurs

February 18, 2022

One hundred and twenty million years ago, there was a crystal-clear lake nestled in what is now northwestern China. Soaring trees hugged the shoreline. The air was filled with prehistoric birdsong. And there, floating along in the water, was a pigeon-sized, loon-like bird known as Brevidentavis zhangi. When the bird died, its body drifted down to the lakebed. Over thousands and thousands of years, layers of sediment covered the bird’s body. The lake dried up. The bird’s fragile, delicate...

The Transportation Walk in Washington, D.C.

February 18, 2022

Visitors walking along M Street in southwest Washington, D.C. will mostly note an upscale, developing business neighborhood near Nationals Park—until they come face-to-face with a series of anachronisms from America’s past. It can be a bit confusing to find a 19th-century rail trolley at a busy intersection or share sidewalk seating with an eight-foot red channel marker, until one realizes the perimeter of the U.S. Department of Transportation is an outdoor museum of North American transportation. The Transportation Walk...
