Socrates
History is filled with warriors, kings, inventors, revolutionaries, and artists—but few people changed the world using nothing but questions. One of them was Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher whose ideas became the foundation of Western thinking. He left no books, no written teachings, and no recorded speeches. Yet his influence is so powerful that it continues to shape law, education, ethics, and debate more than 2,400 years after his death.

The Eternal Embrace Beneath the Earth
The earth has a strange way of holding memories. Some are scattered in fragments, others sealed deep beneath layers of time—waiting for the right hands to uncover them.

It was a tomb, sealed in glass.

Sudan: The Empire That Became a Battlefield

Instead, almost seventy years of its independence have been marked by war, famine and millions of lost lives.

Catherine the Great
When Catherine the Great arrived in Russia as a young German princess, no one imagined she would one day become one of the most powerful rulers in European history. She came as a bride, not as a queen; as an outsider, not a leader.

Galileo Galilei is often called the “father of modern science,” but his story is far more dramatic than a simple title suggests.

King Darvash the Destroyer. AI-Generated.
In a faraway land called Almaron, people once lived in peace. The rivers were clean, the farms were green, and the markets were full of happy voices. But everything changed the day Darvash became king. He was the son of the old king, but he did not have the heart of a leader. Instead of kindness, he carried anger. Instead of wisdom, he carried pride. And instead of justice, he chose destruction.

Dust curled through the air in thin, dancing spirals as Dr. Samir Kaidan pressed deeper into the narrow chamber.
