The world has many amazing buildings. From the 2,000-year-old Pantheon in Rome to the gleaming new Burj Khalifa in Dubi, humanity has been reflected in its buildings. 

However, some of the greatest architectural concepts were buildings that were never built. Whether it was due to a lack of money, having ideas ahead of the technology to build it, or pure insanity, many of the greatest ideas for buildings were never constructed. 

Learn more about the greatest buildings that were never built and why they never saw the light of day on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1942, Allied forces attempted a landing on the coast of France to gain a toe hold on the continent.

Thousands of men took part in the landing…and it was a disaster. Over a thousand men were killed, and over 2,000 were captured. 

Despite being a massive failure, the lessons learned from that raid paved the way for the massive success of the invasion of Europe almost two years later.

Learn more about the raid on Dieppe and how the lessons from the raid were used to make the invasion of Normandy a success on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Human beings have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. For the vast majority of that time, the total population of humans has been quite small. 

Then, quite suddenly, at least in the grand sweep of history, the population of humanity exploded. 

Now, it appears that humans might be on the cusp of a new era of demographics, the likes of which we haven’t experienced before.

Learn more about the global population since the dawn of humanity and what is in store in the future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
