Curious Queries About History & Culture
Ever wondered why history and culture can be so confusing? You’re not alone! Here are some of the most common questions, answered with a dash of humor.

Because bad hair days have been a thing since the 18th century, and wigs were the ultimate cover-up!
What's the deal with ancient Greek statues missing noses?
Turns out, noses are the first to go when you’re thousands of years old. Who knew they were so fragile?

Maybe she just heard a really good joke, or perhaps she’s mocking us for not knowing her secret. The mystery continues!

Contrary to popular belief, vomitoriums were just exits in amphitheaters, not places to purge after a feast. Sorry to ruin the fun!
Why are there so many versions of Cinderella?
Because everyone loves a good rags-to-riches story, and each culture wanted their own spin on it. Plus, who doesn’t love a glass slipper?
What's with the pyramids?
They were the ultimate status symbol of ancient Egypt. If you were a pharaoh, you had to have one. It’s like the ancient version of a luxury car.

Despite my history professor being one of the biggest jerks in my college experience, he did say something profound once. College degrees can be useful for getting jobs, but we only work 40 hours a week.
That leaves 128 hours left. Less than half of this will be devoted to sleep. What do you decide to do with the rest of it. Your history degree will hopefully address this extra time, it will make you a more culturally rich person. Instead of opting for drinking on your vacation, maybe instead you’ll chose walking the streets of Israel or Rome.
It will teach you how to write, in my opinion one of the most important skills to have. It will teach you about the human condition, and how we really haven’t changed in the last 4 thousand years, despite our technology. It will help you understand the why, which is more important than The Who what when where.
