    The Laws of Manu is believed to be the first ancient legal text and constitution of Hinduism. In ancient India, often the sages used to put down their ideas on how the society should run on the Manuscripts. It is believed that the original form of Manusmriti was changed as many things written in the Manuscript contradict each other.

    Empress Wu Zetian (624-705 AD) was the only woman to be the sovereign ruler of imperial China. A teenage concubine of the Tang Emperor Taizong, she seduced his son while the emperor lay dying. Recalled from a nunnery as part of an intricate court power-game, she caused the deaths of two lady rivals, before securing her enthronement as the Emperor Gaozong's consort. She ruled in the name of her husband and two eldest sons, presiding over the pinnacle of the Silk Road, before proclaiming herself the founder of a new dynasty. Worshipped as the Sage Mother of Mankind and reviled as the Treacherous Fox, she was deposed aged 79, after angry courtiers murdered her two young lovers. The subject of countless books, plays, and films, Empress Wu remains a feminist icon and a bugbear of Chinese conservatism. Jonathan Clements weighs the evidence of her life and legacy: so charismatic that she could rise from nothing to the height of medieval power, so hated that her own children left her tombstone blank.

    The discovery of Mapungubwe in the early 20th century marked a turning point in the understanding of Southern Africa’s ancient civilizations. Hidden for centuries, this once-thriving kingdom remained unknown to the modern world until 1933, when a group of researchers stumbled upon its ruins on Mapungubwe Hill in present-day South Africa. What they uncovered would challenge colonial-era narratives and reshape the history of African state formation. 
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed an advanced society that flourished between the 11th and 13th centuries. The remains of elaborate stone structures, pottery, and intricate gold artifacts painted a picture of a powerful kingdom with a sophisticated political and economic system. Among the most significant discoveries was the famous Golden Rhino, a small yet exquisitely crafted artifact that symbolized the wealth and status of Mapungubwe’s elite. Made from delicate sheets of gold carefully shaped around a wooden core, the rhino became an enduring emblem of the kingdom’s prosperity. 
The site also yielded evidence of a complex social hierarchy. The ruling class resided atop Mapungubwe Hill, separated from the common people who lived in the surrounding lowlands. This physical division suggested a structured society where power was centralized, a departure from earlier African settlements where leadership was more communal. The arrangement of dwellings, burial sites, and ceremonial areas further confirmed that Mapungubwe had developed into a true kingdom with a distinct ruling elite.
