The history of humanity is vast, endless and more than a little weird. As we evolved from the cavemen we once were into the variety of civilizations that have crumbled and been rebuilt over the last few millennia, we have collected a long list of short stories. These stories follow the lives and exploits of history’s greatest rulers, merciless conquerors, brilliant inventors, and quirky scientists.
