Did you know that 3 years before World War 2, Nazi Germany hosted the Olympics?

It was the first year in the modern era that the torch was carried by a series of runners to the host city

Next time you see the Torch Relay, you can annoy everyone by saying the Nazis invented it https://t.co/84HPOFg6bg

American Exceptionalism 🇺🇸

In 1969, America became the first and only country to land humans on the moon.

No other empire or civilization in history has ever pulled of this stunning feat. https://t.co/HjjGtDJEEm

This month in our journey of month origins:

FEBRUARY

From the Latin Februarius, meaning “Month of Purification”

Ancient Rome celebrated a festival called Februa. It was a time of ritual cleansing and atonement that was held this month. https://t.co/c9JZ67L2yT

‘The Frisian wolf I followed
With Sigvaldi, there where the spears whistled
When bloody swords we bore
There off the mouth of the Svold
In the south, in the battle^storm,
And met the hero of wars.’ https://t.co/fi1tSB8QPt

1/2 The ancient Chinese were masters of metallurgy, as demonstrated by this curious lidded ritual wine container (zun) in the form of a bird, made 2,500 years ago. Let’s see its details in 8 📸. By me at the Smithsonian Asian Art Museum.

It was made of bronze with gold inlay https://t.co/URK3FbuXui

King Æthelstan - Rex totius Britanniae

King Æthelstan was the Grandson of Alfred the Great. So it is safe to say he had some pretty big shoes to fill, but the young King wasted little time forging his own path and he was soon at the head of a mighty Kingdom, one even his https://t.co/Bri8upyftQ

Shi Yang was a pirate active in the early 1800s. She had been a prostitute on a "flower-boat" (a floating brothel) before she married the pirate captain Zheng Yi. Together they would unite the pirates around China into a single confederacy that contained 70,000 pirates. https://t.co/WPethMXB5F
