Eliud Kipchoge is unquestionably the greatest marathon runner in history. He’s won an Olympic Gold Medal, holds the world’s record, and has won 12 of the 13 marathons he has ever entered.

However, there was one accomplishment that had been out of reach for Kipchoge and every other marathoner: The 2-hour marathon.

On October 12, 2019, Kipchoge managed to break that barrier under some very special circumstances.

Learn more about when behind the breaking of the 2-hour marathon on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Question: Who is the most dominant athlete of all time?

It’s an interesting question and one which has started endless pub debates. Is that a basketball player like Michael Jordan, a baseball player like Babe Ruth, or a soccer player like Lionel Messi?  

Or maybe it’s an athlete in an individual sport like Tiger Woods or Serena Williams.

My answer to the question of who is the most dominant athlete of all time might surprise you.

Find who I’m talking about on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

If you look at the list of officer ranks in the United States armed forces, there are ten ranks listed that are held today. They go from Second Lieutenant all the way up to the rank of General, which is the four-star variant of the rank. 

There is a rank above general, a five-star general, which hasn’t been awarded in 70 years. Most people are familiar with these generals as having served in WWII. 

However, there is still one more rank above that of a five-star general in the United States Military. 

Find out more about this rank and the two men who have been awarded it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Sometime around eight to nine thousand years ago, ancient people in Asia Minor found a very dull grey metal that turned out to be easy to manipulate when it was heated. 

For thousands of years, it was used for a variety of purposes, including as a food additive. 

With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, even more uses were found for this unique metal. 

However, by the 20th century, scientists realized that maybe this stuff wasn’t really so good for us. 

Learn more about lead, how it has been used throughout history, and how our perception of it has changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

But what exactly made him so bad, and was he really as bad as the legends say?

You are probably familiar with several of the great pre-Columbian cities in the Americas. Places like Tikal in Guatemala, Copan in Honduras, and Tenochtitlan in Mexico are some of the great legacies of the civilizations that came before. 

However, all of these population centers were located in Mesoamerican. Most of the people who lived in what is today the United States and Canada were nomadic and never built any large cities.

However, there was one major exception. 

Learn more about Cahokia, the largest pre-Columbian settlement in North America, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

This lasted for several years, but nowhere was it more pronounced than it was on the island of Ireland, where it resulted in death and mass migration.

The effects of this potato blight can still be witnessed in the world today.

With so many people and the city growing so rapidly, transportation became a huge problem.
