"Ancient Secrets Hidden In The Sky": 5 Mysterious And Impossible To Reach Ancient Places
From the forested Imereti region of Georgia protrudes an immense limestone monolith of deeply mysterious origins known as the Katskhi Pillar. Considered a symbol of the True Cross, the location is officially a Georgian Orthodox Church.
Although mentioned in 18th Century Georgian literature, the Pillar was not studied by Westerners until the 1940s, when mountaineer Alexander Japaridze and writer Levan Gotua made the first documented ascent.
Before reaching even the foot of the pillar, a substantial hike must be made, and, in its early years, only the bravest monks could climb the sheer face to the structure atop, enabling them to be closer to God.
The pillar, which is around 131 feet high and offers astounding perspectives over the surrounding landscapes, is home to a ruined church with an area of approximately 500 square feet.
Modern studies of these remains determined them to be of 9th or 10th Century origin and contain inscriptions from the 13th Century.
The church complex consists of a series of rooms. In addition to the church itself is a crypt, three cells for accommodation, and a wine cellar. Archaeological digs at the latter have produced several large drink vessels known as k’vevri.
Early mentions of the Pillar and the church state that, quote, “There is a rock within the ravine standing like a pillar, considerably high. There is a small church on the top of the rock, but nobody is able to ascend it; nor know they how to do that."
Although it sat abandoned for centuries, religious activity at the Katskhi Pillar was revived in the 1990s, and a state-funded restoration project has since made the structure safe and accessible.
A monk of the Georgian Orthodox Church named Maxime Qavtaradze lived on top of the pillar for more than 20 years, coming down just twice a week, and made substantial contributions to the restorations.
However, while male visitors were once welcomed and could access the structure via an iron ladder, it has since been closed to the public. It is now scaled only by monks who live in the monastery at the foot of the pillar and climb the rock to pray.
To this day, virtually nothing is known about the original builders of the church atop the Katskhi Pillar or how this incredible feat of construction was ever accomplished.
"Weapon Of Our Forefathers": The Nazi Quest For 5 Mysterious Ancient Artifacts That Could Win WW2
The Nazi Party has long been associated with the looting and hoarding of historical artifacts, pseudoscientific research, and the occult. This was especially true of Heinrich Himmler and his SS.
Himmler, who had a personal occultist, created a chapter of his elite SS known as the Ahnenerbe as a form of think tank and research unit.
One objective of the Ahnenerbe was to unearth or establish a strong historical identity of the Nazis’ predecessors through the study of archeology.
One of the most precious artifacts sought by the Nazis was the Spear of Destiny (also known as the Holy Lance or the Lance of Longinus), which is alleged to be the spear that pierced Christ's abdomen.
As a child, Hitler had seen the Spear in a museum, and he had become enamored with it, believing it to be a key to untold power. He is supposed to have later stated that the Spear of Destiny had given him a vision of the future, which had informed his own political and ideological beliefs.
One reason that high-ranking Nazis were willing to chase this artifact, besides its cultural significance, was that the Spear of Destiny is said to bestow upon its possessor magical powers, including immortality and the ability to conquer one’s enemies.
Legend has it that the first Roman Emperor, Charlemagne, had wielded the Spear of Destiny for 47 consecutive military victories and that - on the very day that he finally dropped it - he fell dead. Hitler and his officers believed that the Spear would aid them in the same way as they waged war in Europe. As part of the Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Emperor, Hitler also believed that possessing the spear would legitimize his right to rule in victory.

Roman Road-Construction: How They Built The Eternal Roads In The Roman Empire
In this video, we delve into the fascinating engineering behind the roads that helped shape the Roman Empire, connecting cities, military outposts, and trade hubs across thousands of miles. Roman roads were marvels of design and durability, carefully constructed using a methodical, multi-layered process. Each road began with a solid foundation, often of compacted soil or stones, followed by several layers of gravel, sand, and mortar, and capped with large paving stones that provided a smooth, durable surface for carts, chariots, and pedestrians alike.
The Roman engineers considered every detail, from water drainage to slope adjustments, ensuring that roads could withstand heavy use, weathering, and even earthquakes. They designed roads to be as straight as possible, cutting through hills and bridging rivers to create the shortest routes across the landscape. This efficiency in design wasn’t just about speed; it was a testament to Roman organizational skill and innovation.
We also look at the immense manpower involved, from skilled Roman engineers to the countless soldiers, slaves, and laborers who contributed to the construction. These roads didn’t just facilitate the movement of armies and goods but were vital for maintaining control and communication across the empire. Join us in exploring how the Romans' advanced road-building techniques set a standard that influenced infrastructure around the world for centuries to come.

Inside The Horryfying Truth Of White Slaves In The Ottoman Empire
Spanning over 623 years, the Ottoman Empire was known for numerous elements ranging from their Sultanate reigns to extraordinary ancient architecture. However, what really caught the attention of many was the concept of slavery that the Ottomans applied. Unlike other slaves known in history, the Ottoman Empire slaves were white and were subject to objectification, brutal tactics, and much worse. While the Ottoman Empire did follow Islamic beliefs, which prohibited slavery, the rulers at that time had created harsh circumstances for the slaves. Circumstances that were more shocking than you think…
When one wants to put the topic of white slavery in the Ottoman Empire, one should know that this was completely different from the one in other Empires. Unlike American slavery, this was practiced under the strict rules and regulations of Islamic law. Slaves were considered property in the Ottoman Empire and according to the Islamic Holy Book Quran, slaves should be treated gently, with no distinction based on color or creed.
The laws were recognized, and the slaves were treated much more gently than other brutal masters. Most of the time, the master would even free their slaves to acquire tranquility of the soul.
However, when we see slaves, white female slaves were usually given elite tasks or positions in the house or the Harem; they would serve as the waitress of their mistress or adorn their mistress. African or black slaves, on the other hand, were given inferior tasks. Hence, the white slaves were in better condition than the black ones.
