  Mysterious Losses of the USS...

  In April 1963, one of the most advanced U.S. hunter-killer nuclear submarines and the 129 men onboard vanished while on a routine voyage. The USS Thresher was one of the country’s most advanced ships, but it had the misfortune of becoming the first American nuclear submarine to be lost at sea, prompting obvious questions over what had happened. Had it accidentally collided with a Soviet ship? Was it destroyed by a new and secret Soviet weapon? Was it secretly captured and taken back to the Soviet Union to reveal its secrets? 
  For those who choose to make the careers as submariners, there is no more beloved service. That is, one hopes, how it was for the 99 men who were serving on the USS Scorpion on May 22, 1968, the fateful day the submarine is believed to have sank. It appears that the crew members died quickly, but however it happened, the grief experienced by their family members dragged on for decades, exacerbated both by the Navy’s lack of information about the submarine’s final moments and the government’s unwillingness to share what little knowledge it had. 
  It is easy in hindsight to criticize the military for its secrecy, but it must be remembered that the Scorpion disappeared at the height of the Cold War, and therefore, little could be said publicly about its fate. Coincidentally, 3 other nuclear submarines suffered mysterious sinkings the same year, and the Cold War adversaries were interested in locating them and gleaning any secrets or technology that they could from the other side’s bad luck. Indeed, it was only after the fall of the Soviet Union that the truth could be told, bringing closure to family members and a dark lesson in espionage to the American people.

  The Rise of the Ottoman Empire -...

  The story of the Ottoman Empire begins not with grandeur and empire-building, but with the survival and adaptation of a small Turkic tribe navigating the collapse of greater powers. In the late 13th century, the Anatolian region was a mosaic of fragmented states, weakened by internal conflict and external invasions. Among these groups were the Turks, originally Central Asian nomads, who had migrated westward in waves over centuries. Their destiny would shift dramatically with the decline of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum and the vacuum left by the Mongol invasions, creating space for new leadership to emerge. 
  The Seljuks had once dominated much of Anatolia, but their weakening rule after the Mongol defeat at the Battle of Köse Dağ in 1243 left the region divided among various beyliks, or small principalities. One such principality was led by a chieftain named Ertuğrul, who had settled near the Byzantine frontier. Upon his death, leadership passed to his son, Osman, a bold and ambitious leader who would become the namesake of the Ottoman dynasty. Osman’s emergence marked a turning point, as his military successes and political acumen allowed him to consolidate power and expand his territory, laying the foundation for what would become the Ottoman Empire. 
  Osman I’s rise coincided with a period of instability within the Byzantine Empire, which was plagued by civil wars and weakened borders. Taking advantage of this, Osman led raids into Byzantine lands, gradually carving out a small but growing domain. More than just a warrior, Osman capitalized on the frontier spirit, attracting ghazis—Muslim warriors motivated by the idea of fighting non-Muslims. These fighters brought not only military strength but also religious legitimacy to Osman’s rule, enabling him to establish a principality that combined spiritual purpose with political ambition.

  Davy Jones' Metropolis -...

  The tale of Davy Jones' Metropolis is one that stretches the boundaries between myth and reality, a city submerged beneath the depths of the ocean, where the lost and forgotten roam amidst the remnants of once-proud pirates and forgotten empires. Far beyond the reach of sailors and explorers, this enigmatic metropolis remains hidden, its existence debated by those who dare to venture into the unknown realms of the sea. 
  The legend of Davy Jones, the fearsome pirate captain cursed to rule over the souls of the damned, has long been etched into maritime folklore. Yet, his connection to the Metropolis is often misunderstood. The city itself is not simply a domain of darkness or death, but rather a lost sanctuary that once served as a haven for corsairs, privateers, and seafaring marauders. It is said to be a place where time stands still, where the remnants of a golden age of piracy are preserved beneath the waves, untouched by the ravages of time. This metropolis, often referred to as the “Haven of Lost Corsairs,” was not only a refuge for pirates, but also a thriving hub of commerce, culture, and mysticism, protected by the vast and treacherous ocean that envelops it. 
  The origins of Davy Jones' Metropolis are shrouded in mystery. Some believe it was constructed by an ancient order of pirates who sought to escape the control of empires, building a city that existed outside of the world's laws. Others claim that the Metropolis was created by Davy Jones himself as a sanctuary for those cursed by the sea, a place where the spirits of lost sailors could dwell in eternal unrest. Regardless of its true origin, the city’s allure lies in its captivating history, its forgotten treasures, and the dangers that still lie hidden in its depths.
