1. Almost everybody has heard of the ancient Maya, a mysterious people who lived in Central America in 1500 ВС — AD 900 and then suddenly disappeared. But very few of us know that the Maya were not the earliest civilization on the American continent. The first great group of people there were the mysterious Olmecs.
2. During the English Civil War, King Charles II fought against Oliver Cromwell. One battle took place at Worcester in 1651. Charles and his men were defeated and had to escape. As night fell they lost their way and stayed for the night at Boscombel House. There Charles put on a common man's clothes, cut his hair short and blackened his face with soot. Then Charles set off north.
3. Hadrian's Wall is an ancient wall across England from Carlisle in the west to Newcastle in the east. The Roman Emperor Hadrian wanted to protect Roman Britain from attacks by Scottish tribes. So he told his soldiers to build a wall. It took them nearly six years to complete it. The Roman soldiers guarded the wall, which was 117 kilometres long and 4 metres high. Now there are only ruins left of Hadrian's Wall.
4. The largest development in the debate among scientists about what killed the prehistoric dinosaurs is the idea that acid rain was the cause. Some geologists suggest that a large meteor hitting the earth at the speed of 65 kilometres per second was able to lead to strongly acidic rain falling all over the world.
5. In 1871, the newly formed Rugby Football Union selected an English team to play the first ever international match against Scotland. The committee chose a red rose as the team's badge. Though England lost the match, which took place in Edinburgh, the country's rugby teams have worn red roses ever since.
