The Three Most Interesting History Stories I've Found:

The Apicius is the World's Oldest Cookbook, full of recipes from Imperial Rome.  It may have been written in the 1st century, but the oldest copy we have was made in 830 AD, written by hand by monks in Germany. This Apiciius sits under lock and key in a NY library, and this 4-minute video shows it to you. Follow the link at the end of the video to see how to cook one of the recipes (they weren't big on details in the 1st millennium, so a lot of guesswork is involved).  


Love to read about Carnac or Stonehenge? New (but very old) monolithic structures have just been discovered. In the Auvergne region of France, 30 deliberately toppled stones & one grave were unearthed when preparing to widen a highway, and in Spain, a drought has lowered a reservoir to reveal these standing stones, nearly forgotten. Both these collections are probably 6,000 to 7,000 years old.

This one's cute. Baby bottles from the Bronze and Iron Ages! 
All these sippy cups (and more) came from the ancient graves of infants in Europe, and all show evidence of  holding animal milk (not breast milk). And all are in the shape of animals. The babies sucked on the tail ends of the tilted cups; the milk was poured into the top.
