Four of the last six major history threads have titles involving something being cool which had suddenly switched in the most recent iterations possibly because [mutters gloomy utterings about the current day].

I wondered how it was known that he was cast aside in the bay named after him as the mutineers sailed back to Ireland one of the navigators blamed two of the recent dead {one died in the crossing the other of starvation} as the leaders in the uprising because upon returning they would have been tired for piracy
But another interesting note is the company that Hudson worked for East India company in looking for the northwest passage in the early 1600's
Just the lack of sea ice lately has made that passage unnavgatable and how cargo ships of today are too large to use many ports on the west coast

Sounds like a corker of a trial they ought to do a netflix adaptation or somethin

On this video we will have a deep historical research into the most important mentions in Latin about Jesus of Nazareth by non Christian authors such as Roman emperors, magistrates, lawyers, military officers etc. We will discuss the validity of such testimonies, and try to understand if Jesus of Nazareth really is a historical figure or if his existence was just a myth.

Man, having a whole 5% of our history still on hand would be awesome.
That said, the reading-between-the-lines speculation or reconstruction based on the stuff we do have is its own kind of brain candy..
I knew I came by it honest!
