History FixEp. 10 The Great Pyramid: How This Ancient Wonder May Not Be At All What We Thought It WasTowering 450 feet above the Egyptian desert lies the Great Pyramid of Giza, its rugged, crumbling facade a mere ruin of its former glory. It was once clad in blinding white limestone, fit so tightly together the seams were invisible. A capstone of pure gold crowned the top, reflecting the sun’s light for miles like a beacon of triumph for a flourishing civilization. The textbooks teach us that the Great Pyramid was built around 4,500 years ago as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu. But did you know, that might not be true. At all. Let’s fix that....

The Shea WayCalling Ourselves OutAn object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force…or, until we call ourselves out!

We’re not so different. We get so wrapped up in living at a hundred miles an hour, getting so caught up in mindless monotony, we often don’t stop...

I look at my life in five areas. Obviously, health is a big area and as I get older big is the operative word. The next area is work and accumulation of wealth. Ironically, the older I get the wiser my choices...

Equal numbers of choices in food, clothes, socks, people to date, jobs to look into, races to sign up for … total chaos.

Cities and beach towns along 74 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline were thrust into the modern age in the early 1950s when rockets began lighting up the skies above them. By the end of the decade the space race had begun and the nation would set a path to put men on the moon.
