  1. The realm of Korinthia spans from rugged mountains hosting mysterious temples honoring little-known gods, to sunny islands in a wine-dark sea. Learn to speak of directions in their tongue to find your way on your journey. cromwell-intl.com/travel/greec

  2. AI-generated history is everywhere. Ancient cities are immaculate, medieval peasants have excellent teeth, and even the mud looks art-directed.

    Museums and filmmakers generally do better by beginning with historical evidence, clearly separating documented fact from visual interpretation.

    We visit Amsterdam in 1652 and follow 1,800 Enschede schoolchildren as they help reconstruct 700 years of their city’s history.

  14. The Past, Present & Future Of Dams In The Southeastern U.S.

    “[The authors are] helping build a foundation for better water policy, planning, and resilience. By diving into the into the history, present status, and future of dams in the southeastern region, [they are] filling a research gap of an under-examined area..”
    --
    “Dams and reservoirs have played a central role in the industrialization and economic development of the United States, providing hydropower, flood control, navigation, water supply, and recreation. Yet they have also transformed river systems, displaced communities, and contributed to major ecological change. This paper presents an exploratory review of the history, present status, and future of dams in the Southeastern United States, focusing on U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic regions 3 (South Atlantic-Gulf) and 6 (Tennessee). Using data from the National Inventory of Dams, historical archives, and interdisciplinary literature, the study examines temporal trends in dam construction, societal and ecological impacts, hazard conditions, and emerging trends in dam management. The Southeastern U.S. contains some of the nation’s highest dam densities and storage capacities, with more than 19,000 inventoried dams as of 2026. Many dams were constructed during the mid-twentieth century through the New Deal and postwar infrastructure programs led by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This aging infrastructure, in combination with inconsistent regulation, and increasing exposure to extreme weather raises growing safety concerns, particularly for the many high-hazard dams in poor or unrated conditions in the region. The paper also explores future trajectories, including hydropower modernization, pumped storage expansion, and dam removal efforts aimed at balancing renewable energy production, ecological restoration, and public safety…”
