Another year has passed so rapidly. I hope this article finds all of you in good health and that you are looking forward to Christmas and the New Year. This letter is about the Twelve Days of Christmas and an explanation for it. This is my article for all of you this year. Enjoy.

The Twelve Days of Christmas is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me. What in the world do leaping frogs, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly.

ROMAN HISTORY

The City of Rome is where early Latin settlers settled somewhere around the year 1000 BC. These early settlements were a far cry from anything like a large city. They lived in primitive round huts, raised cattle, pigs, goats and herded sheep. This is how the mighty city of Rome began. So, most people ask how these archaic beginnings lead to a city that would one day rule the entire world.

The Egyptian Pyramids

22 November 2007

The Egyptian Pyramids have always fascinated me. For one big reason is the question that has boggled many archeologists, anthropologists and scientists as well as myself. How did these people build these huge pyramids with over three hundred giant blocks of stones weighing nearly three tons apiece? It has been said that there are enough blocks in 5 pyramids to build a wall 7 meters high and 1 meter thick around the county of Iran.

Terrorism : Systematic use of violence, terror, and intimidation to achieve an end.

History of Terrorism

The events of 9/11 and daily news from the Middle East might make terrorism seem like a modern problem. Unfortunately, it has a long and bloody history. Terror as a weapon began almost with the history of man. The word terrorism was first used in France in the late 1700s and early eighteenth century.

Leaders of the French Revolution used terror to force people to submit to their authority. In what was called the "Reign of Terror," citizens were locked up, tortured, and guillotined. French scholars of the time defined terrorism as "the system or rule of terror."
