    The TRUTH about The Olympics - Ancient Greek Olympics - Christories | History Lessons - ep 35

    This week on Christories, we're talking about the THE OLYMPICS! The Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece nearly 3,000 years ago and were first recorded in 776 BCE in Olympia. They were held every 4 years, a period known as an Olympiad, in honor of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. Only freeborn Greek men were allowed to compete in the ancient games. The modern Olympic Games were revived by French educator Baron Pierre de Coubertin in the late 19th century. The first modern Olympics took place in Athens in 1896, featuring 280 participants from 13 nations. Today, the Olympics are the world's foremost sports competition, with over 200 nations participating. The five Olympic rings symbolize the union of the five inhabited continents and the meeting of athletes from around the world. The modern Olympic flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia and then relayed to the host city. The marathon was inspired by the ancient Greek soldier Pheidippides. The first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix, France, in 1924. Women first competed in the modern Olympics in 1900 in Paris. Olympic gold medals are actually made mostly of silver, with only about six grams of gold plating. THIS YEAR the Olympics are being held in Paris! Who are you rooting for?

    The TRUTH about First Gay U.S President - James Buchanan - Christories | History Lessons - ep 33

    This week on Christories, we're talking about the THE FIRST GAY PRESIDENT OF USA!!! 🙌 James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, served from 1857 to 1861. Born in Pennsylvania in 1791, he had a long political career that included roles as a congressman, senator, and diplomat before his presidency. Buchanan is often criticized for his inability to address the growing sectional tensions that eventually led to the Civil War. Rumors about Buchanan's sexuality stem from his close relationship with William Rufus King, a fellow politician and diplomat. The two men lived together for over a decade and were referred to by contemporaries in terms that today might suggest a romantic relationship. While there is no definitive proof of Buchanan's sexual orientation, these speculations have led some historians and biographers to consider the possibility that he may have been gay. Nonetheless, Buchanan never married, and there is no concrete evidence to confirm or refute these rumors.🙆🏼‍♂️ TELL US IN THE COMMENTS your favorite moment BABES OR MAYBE WE MISSED SOME COOL THINGS!! 🙌 🙌SUPPORT THE SHOW, SUPPORT THE SPONSORS! 👉 https://zbiotics.com/pages/am-christories CODE: CHRISTORIES get 15% off your order! #ChrisDistefano #history #Podcast #comedy Welcome to Christories where comedian Chris Distefano tells you about a time in history.

The event led to numerous conspiracy theories and remains a subject of extensive investigation and debate. Several conspiracy theories surround JFK's assassination. Some suggest multiple gunmen were involved, while others believe the CIA orchestrated the murder. Another theory claims the Mafia killed Kennedy in retaliation for his administration's crackdown on organized crime.
