    At 24, Gilles de Rais was Marshal of France, fighting alongside Joan of Arc. At 36, he was hanged and burned for the murder of over a hundred children. The trial records survive. So do the doubts.

    Neandertalci: Sve što ste mislili bilo je pogrešno

    Tri nedavne studije ruše ono što je ostalo od slike o „brutalnom pećinskom čoveku“. Neandertalci su sarađivali sa Homo sapiensom pre 110.000 godina, lovili najveće kopnene životinje Evrope kopljima za ubadanje i praktikovali selektivni kanibalizam nad strancima. Nauka koja je stvorila mit, i nauka koja ga danas razgrađuje.

    Neandertaler: Alles, was du zu wissen glaubtest, war falsch

    Drei aktuelle Studien räumen mit dem letzten Rest des Bildes vom 'brutalen Höhlenmenschen' auf. Neandertaler kooperierten schon vor 110.000 Jahren mit Homo sapiens, jagten mit Stoßspeeren die größten Landtiere Europas und praktizierten selektiven Kannibalismus an Fremden. Die Wissenschaft, die den Mythos erschuf, und die Wissenschaft, die ihn nun zerlegt.

    Neanderthals: Everything You Thought Was Wrong

    Three recent studies overturn what remains of the 'brutish caveman' image. Neanderthals cooperated with Homo sapiens 110,000 years ago, hunted the largest land animals in Europe with thrusting spears, and practiced selective cannibalism of outsiders. The science that built the myth, and the science that is dismantling it.

    How the Church Invented the Witch: The Waldensians and the Making of the European Sabbat

    The European witches' sabbat was assembled in the Alpine valleys of the 1420s and 1430s from interrogations of Waldensian heretics. This is the documented story of how a twelfth-century poverty movement founded by a Lyon merchant became the template for the diabolical sect, how the word Vaudois became a synonym for witch across France and the Low Countries, and what happened to the actual communities in Piedmont who survived to be massacred in 1655 and returned in 1689.

    Obsidian: The Stone That Cuts Between Worlds

    Volcanic glass has been a ritual knife, a scrying mirror, and a surgical scalpel across three continents and nine thousand years. The oldest manufactured mirrors on earth were obsidian. John Dee's black mirror came from Aztec Mexico. Modern surgeons still knap it into blades. One material keeps appearing at the places where people try to cut between worlds.

    Bologna: The City That Taught Magic, Buried Its Canals, and Built 666 Arches to Heaven

    Bologna gave the world its oldest university, its oldest surviving tarot tradition, and the first phosphorescent material ever documented in European science, all while its Inquisition burned the region's most celebrated healer and a cobbler searching for the Philosopher's Stone on a nearby hill accidentally discovered light. The city's esoteric resume is longer and stranger than it looks.

    The Oracle at Delphi: The Woman Who Spoke for Apollo

    For nine months of each year, a woman in the inner chamber of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi answered questions that shaped the ancient world. She was called the Pythia. Kings consulted her before going to war. Cities asked her permission to exist. The gas theory, the trance, the ambiguous answers, and the question of whether any of it was real.
