When Alexander the Great died, one of his generals and best friends, Ptolemy, took Alexander’s corpse and went to Egypt to establish a new Pharaonic dynasty.
One of the things he did during his reign was to begin construction on what would become one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
It stood for over a thousand years and was unlike the world had ever seen.
Learn more about the Lighthouse of Alexandria and what eventually happened to it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

If you’ve been around long enough, and by that, I only mean a couple of years, you have probably observed the one fundamental truth about computers: they always get faster.
While games and web browning might seem faster, the average person’s computer usage doesn’t necessarily express just how much more powerful computers have become.
In particular, for several decades, supercomputers have been developed which are vastly more powerful than what is one your desk or in your pocket. Unless that is, you make comparisons over time…
Learn more about supercomputers, the evolution of computing power and how your computer stacks up to supercomputers of the past on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For over two thousand years, China lived under imperial rule. A series of dynasties and emperors were the defining feature of Chinese governance.
However, in the early 20th century, China threw off its imperial rulers and became, for the first time in its history, a republic.
Much of the reason why China became a republic was due to one man.
Learn more about Sun Yat-sen and the downfall of imperial China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In November 1884, representatives from a dozen European countries met in Berlin.
The reason for the meeting was audacious. They were going to carve up the continent of Africa between them.
No one from Africa was in attendance at the conference, and no one was even invited. The decisions they made at this conference, and in the decades that followed, can still be felt in the world today.
Learn more about the European Scramble for Africa and how the European powers carved up a continent on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located north of 66°33′ North latitude is the region we call the Arctic.
The Arctic is unlike any other environment on Earth, even the Antarctic. It is sparsely populated and has unique wildlife and a biome that can’t be found anywhere else.
It completely dark in the winter and the sun never sets in the summer…and of course, it is really cold.
Learn more about the Arctic and what makes it so special on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For generations, families have attended circuses.
Circuses were a collection of animals, acrobats, clowns, and other exotic oddities.
In an era before television and the internet, circuses were a major form of entertainment for many people.
Over time, however, circuses have changed and evolved into something very different in the 21st century.
Learn more about circuses, how they came about and how they changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The universe is billions of years old.
If, in the future, humanity were to explore the galaxy and visit other planets around other stars, we might be visiting places where at one time, an advanced civilization once existed.
However, if such a civilization existed, it might have been millions of years in the past. If that was the case, how would we even know that it existed?
Also, what if we ask that same question of Earth rather than of alien worlds?

We all eat every day. We use English words for the foods and meals we eat without even thinking about it.
But where did those words come from, and what did they originally mean? What is the difference between dinner and supper?
Were the modern distinctions we have between fruits and vegetables always there, and for that matter, was meat always meat?
Learn more about the origins of English words pertaining to food on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

A little over 500 years ago, the world underwent massive change.
Empires were growing, religious and political institutions were changing, science was advancing, and art was undergoing a revolution.
It was the start of what many historians called the Early Modern period. A period that began the slow and painful transition to what became the modern world.
Learn more about the world in the year 1500 on the 1500th episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
