In the Bahamas islands where Christopher Columbus landed, he and his Spanish compatriots committed grievous wrongs. According to Howard Zinn (pg 90), Columbus' first main interest upon meeting the Native Americans was gold. Hence Columbus ordered that the Native Americans in the Bahamas retrieve a certain quota of gold for his cache. If and when some of the Native Americans did not meet Columbus gold quota, he had them dismembered.

Central to this are the concepts of bravery and sacrifice: as Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and the rest of his crew take great risks and travel vast distances to save humanity from a dying Earth, the characters all display varying aspects of the human condition, especially related to these very big, complex ideas. As the characters of Interstellar go about their mission and weigh the risks and rewards of each and every decision, they each find their own definitions of bravery and sacrifice, weighing their own personal decisions against

The Aztecs’ main god was the sun or Huitzilopochtli. They believed that the sun needed constant replenishment so that it could move across the earth everyday and prevent the world from ending.

The most probable of all causes is a mechanical malfunction. When the ship left Rio, it was overloaded with a new cargo that the ship had not hauled before, manganese ore. To make matters worse, the ship had only one operable engine and was headed through the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. The second most probable cause would be that the captain sunk the ship on purpose. I know this sounds ludicrous but the captain was accused of being pro-German and it was later found out that the captain had changed his name to an American name from a German name. The disaster started when one engine went out and couldn’t be repaired. To make matters worse the ship was heavily

Everyone is curious about the existence and location of Atlantis. That is why a group of student researchers and I, are a part of a search from Duke University. We explored different parts of the ocean to see if we can find any artifacts can prove the existence of Atlantis and its location. We searched the most commonly named places of where Atlantis might be. We will be searching for Atlantis around spring, where the currents won’t be too high. We decided to search now because our technology is much more advanced and we have better underwater equipment which can help us get more accurate results and can help our search.
