Welcome to Litsy!

I love connecting history to today. Pope Leo XIV traveled to Nicaea this week to celebrate the anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. While there, he reminded his audience to beware of a new Arianism in today‘s society that rejects the divinity of Christ. #nicaea #councilofnicaea #jesuschrist #arianism #catholicism #churchhistory #popeleoxiv #worldhistory

100/100 A very different view of the ancient world. Instead of looking at the Roman, Greek and Egyptian empires from their centers, like Rome and Athens, this is a view of those kingdoms from the civilizations that were on the edges, some that intermingled with the empires and some that came into direct conflict with them. 4/5 ⭐ #Read2025

Nowadays most people think that the only two civilzations that made the West are the Romans and the Greek, but this non-fictional )audio)book proves them wrong. There have been Egyptians, Asyrians, Minoans and many more. Even though I already knew a lot of the information because I am fascinated by ancient civilisations in general, this book gives and extensive overview and a lot of interesting, sometimes funny facts and stories.

D'Agoult...returned an hour and a half later....and announced that he had new orders specifying that he arrest councilors Duval d'Éprémesnil and Goislard de Montsabert. At that point, according to several accounts, all the magistrates replied with one voice, "We are all Duval and Goislard. It is all of us you must arrest."

Phew, nearly there..

I have listened to 3 Garrett Graff full-cast audiobooks and I love all 3. This one is about all about the atomic bomb: perspectives from scientific minds through history theorizing the making of this weapon, and the great minds who came together to crest it, to the military officers and world leaders who helped carry out the mission of using it, and those impacted by the explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Another expertly researched deep dive.

Fear in your flesh, you so scared to be replaced
