If you’ve been to Sainte-Mère-Église, you've seen the paratrooper on the church steeple. It honors John Steele (82nd Airborne). On D-Day, his parachute got caught. He survived by pretending to be dead for 2 hours before escaping captivity!

American schoolkids are taught about the Battle of Bunker Hill, but less known is that the British razed the nearby city of Charlestown in its aftermath. Boston archaeologists are now discovering the surprising lives of the townspeople there in 1775.

The Jockey of Artemision is a large Hellenic bronze statue depicting a boy riding a horse, dating back to around 150-140 BC. The statue was recovered in pieces from an ancient shipwreck off Cape Artemision, Greece...

It is a rare surviving true bronze statue from ancient Greece, a rare example of a racehorse in Greek sculpture. Most ancient bronzes have disappeared because they were melted down to reuse their raw materials sometime after creation. This one was saved from destruction only because it was lost in a shipwreck in antiquity, before being discovered and recovered in 1926.

It may have been dedicated to the gods by a wealthy person to honor victories in horse racing, probably in the single-horse race.

It ranks among the worst bloopers that can befall a human in everyday life: dropping something in the toilet. A medieval German writer fumbled a beautiful notebook into a latrine around 700 years ago and did not have the heart—or reach—to save it.
