In Ancient Bulgaria, the Tombs of the...

May 5, 2025

The reign of Seuthes III began with blood and strife. The Odrysian Kingdom of Thrace, which made up much of the territory of modern-day Bulgaria, had been invaded by Macedon some decades prior. Now, a Macedonian governor ruled the kingdom in place of its native kings. Seuthes, a member of the Odrysian royal family, had revolted against the Macedonian governor of Thrace and, with the death of the Macedonian leader Alexander the Great in 323 BC, he took back...

Tal Barahi Temple in Pokhara, Nepal

May 2, 2025

The temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Barahi. Barahi is known in Nepal as a manifestation of Durga, a major Hindu goddess, and Amija, a group of deities representing female ancestors.

Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom Aquarium in Okinawa,...

May 2, 2025

One of the largest malls in Japan is the Aeon Mall Okinawa Lycoming. It is home to the 100-ton Rycom aquarium in an otherwise unassuming location for marine wildlife. This 100-ton aquarium houses fish representing the region’s native marine inhabitants. More than 1,000 fish representing dozens of species are located within the aquarium, along with spineless aquatic invertebrates like sea cucumbers and stars. The aquarium overlaps with the first-floor elevator, giving shoppers a chance to observe animals like the endangered Napoleon...

Baltimore Museum of Industry in Baltimore, Maryland

May 2, 2025

This museum dedicated to Baltimore’s industrial history is fittingly housed in an 1889 building formerly utilized for the packing of oysters, fruit, and vegetables from the Eastern Shore. By that time, canning was the city’s second-largest industry. Baltimore had established itself as a major national trade and commerce hub due to its geographic location—the westernmost port on the Atlantic seaboard—and infrastructure as the site of the first American commercial railroad, which linked the Port of Baltimore with interior farmlands....

International Storytelling Center in Jonesborough, Tennessee

May 2, 2025

Near the end of his oft-bleak history of Appalachia, historian John Alexander Williams cites Jonesborough, Tennessee, as one possible future for the region’s small towns. He specifically calls out Jonesborough as a community that successfully reinvented itself through the preservation of its historic buildings and the escalation of an annual fall festival into the National Storytelling Festival. As Williams tells it, the festival caught tailwinds from a national storytelling revival that was tied to the counterculture’s 1970s shift away...

Denderano in Tōno City, Japan

May 2, 2025

Ubasute is an infamous motif in Japanese folklore, which can be roughly translated to “elderly dumping.” Though no historical records back up the claim, the custom of senicide—leaving old people in the mountains to die so that there would be less mouths to feed in the village—is a well-established concept in Japanese legends. A major example of a purported site of ubasute tradition can be found in the village of Yamaguchi-Tsuchibuchi in Tōno, Iwate Prefecture, a city famed for its associations...

On the grounds of Oklahoma City‘s Myriad Botanical Gardens stands the unique architecture of the Inasmuch Foundation Crystal Bridge Conservatory. The large cylinder, which was built from 1983 to 1985, is 70 feet in diameter and 224 feet long. It was opened to the public in 1988.

Floyd Country Store in Floyd, Virginia

May 2, 2025

Appalachia has provided cultural riches to the world, but its greatest achievement may be string-band music, particularly old-time and bluegrass. In essence, it’s Appalachia’s core story: immigrants move and bring their culture into the mountains, and become part of the greater whole. Appalachian string-band music combines African-rooted banjo, fiddle and ballads from Scotland, England and Ireland, and numerous other musical strains to make something new that couldn’t have originated anywhere else. Perhaps the best thing about mountain string music...

St Willibrord’s Church in Rindschleiden in Wahl,...

May 2, 2025

The smallest village in the Grand Duchy, Rindschleiden is well known to Luxembourgers. This reputation is confirmed by the national register: The village’s last inhabitant (the priest) passed away in 2016. The village has only four buildings: the church, the presbytery, the old school, and a farmhouse that houses the Thillenvogtei Rural Museum. The church of St Willibrord seems to be out of proportion for such a small village. The explanation is historical: In the park behind the church...

Jefferson Hotel Gators in Richmond, Virginia

May 2, 2025

Picking up a trinket or two as a souvenir while on vacation is a common practice. What’s less common, however, is buying an alligator while on a trip—and then intentionally leaving it behind on an overnight stop. That, however, is the unique lore of The Jefferson Hotel. The Jefferson Hotel was opened in 1895 by Lewis Ginter. It has since appeared on many illustrious lists, including The National Registry of Historic Places and Hotels of America. The Jefferson has...

Does a Magician Really Never Reveal Their...

May 1, 2025

AO Wants to Know is an ongoing interview series where we ask experts in extraordinary subjects to share their knowledge with us. I’ve always thought of stage magic as something that happens in person, but magician Siegfried Tieber showed me that it can even be performed over Zoom. During our video call, he folded a $1 bill in his hand and a $5 bill underneath his wallet, which sat on the table in front of him. If we were...
