Aztecs vs Mayans: Who Ruled Mesoamerica?

Bright Side ·

2025/11/12

Ever wondered who ruled Mesoamerica, the Aztecs or the Mayans? The Mayans were first, building their amazing cities and pyramids in places like Guatemala and southern Mexico from around 2000 BCE. They were great at astronomy and had an advanced writing system. The Aztecs came later, dominating central Mexico with their powerful empire starting in the 14th century, known for their massive capital city, Tenochtitlán. Both civilizations were incredible in their own ways, but they ruled different parts

You know how Vikings are often associated with Scandinavia and their epic journeys across the seas? Well, turns out, there's a lesser-known Viking connection right in New York City! Back in the 9th century, Norse explorers are believed to have landed in the area we now call New York, long before Columbus or any other Europeans. Archaeological finds like a Norse coin and a runic stone in the Hudson Valley provide tantalizing clues. So, while we typically think of skyscrapers and subways when we think

You won't believe this, but divers found something wild at the bottom of Lake Michigan—a stone circle that's older than Stonehenge. Yep, apparently the Midwest has been holding onto ancient secrets this whole time. It was discovered by accident while researchers were scanning the lake floor for shipwrecks (plot twist!). The stones are arranged in a circle, and one even has what looks like a carving of a mastodon on it. No one's 100% sure who built it or why, but it's clear it dates way back. Makes

What If Columbus Never Reached the Americas

2025/11/12

If Columbus never stumbled upon the Americas, we'd have to wave goodbye to some of our favorite foods like potatoes, tomatoes, and chocolate – they all came from the New World! Also, the spice trade would've been totally different, with no chili peppers to spice things up in Europe. Imagine the alternate reality where indigenous cultures in the Americas continued to flourish without European influence, and European history took a detour without the New World's resources.

A game-changing discovery has been made in the U.S.—the world’s largest lithium deposit was found inside an ancient supervolcano on the Nevada-Oregon border. The McDermitt Caldera holds an estimated 40 million metric tons of lithium, nearly half of the world’s known reserves and twice as much as Bolivia’s famous salt flats.

You’re standing on solid ground… or are you? New research has uncovered something shocking: parts of North America’s foundation are literally melting away — and it’s not from an earthquake or a sinkhole. Scientists used 3D imaging of Earth’s interior and found that nearly 37 miles of rock have dripped away into the mantle, like molten cheese off a pizza. The culprit? The ancient cratons — the billion-year-old roots of continents — are breaking down beneath our feet. This video explores how our

California’s next big earthquake could be a real game-changer, especially for the western part of the state.

Every year, the U.S. drops millions of tiny, hungry worms from planes over Central America, but it's not a prank or a bizarre experiment—it’s part of an epic battle against screwworms! These worms are actually baby flies, known as screwworm larvae, that can cause terrible infections in animals by eating living flesh. So why drop them? The worms are made special in a lab so they can't reproduce, and when they mate with wild screwworms, it helps wipe out the whole screwworm population without any new
