Reading time: 5 minutes
The Rosetta Stone laid the groundwork for our understanding of Ancient Egyptian language and culture when French scholar Jean-FranƧois Champollion cracked its code inĀ September 1822.

Since the discovery of the Indus Valley Civilisation in the 1920s, the Indus Valley Script has remained an enigma, resisting all attempts at decipherment.

Covering several campaigns across different areas and time periods, it details both successes and failures of the Aboriginal military forces.

Plague Ahoy! Maritime quarantine in the 18th century

Reading time: 8 minutes
On 23 August 1720 at the Council Chamber in Whitehall, the Privy Council issued an order to the commissioners of His Majestyā€™s Customs ā€˜to prevent the landing any goods, passengers, or seamen from on board any ships coming from the Mediterraneanā€™. Diplomats and statesman had been in correspondence for weeks about the worrying state of affairs developing in the south of France. Writing to Secretary of State James Craggs, the diplomat Robert Sutton related ā€˜the melancholy news of a pestilential distemper being crept into Marseille by the infection of some bales of cotton brought from Sidon (in modern day Lebanon)ā€™. Other letters reported that the seamen on the said voyage had died, with many others taken sick and transported to infirmaries. Four porters, who had opened the goods carried on the ship, died suddenly as the distemper spread from ship to shore killing as many as 24 people in one street. Quarters of the city were barred up and houses and their contents were burned. The plague had hit Marseille.

REEL OR UNREAL HISTORY

Reading time: 5 minutes
Long before ā€œfake newsā€ wedged itself into American vernacular, ā€œfakeā€ or ā€œengineeredā€ news on film had a powerful influence on democracy and world regimes. A few years ago, one of my history students observed that aĀ film reelĀ of Teddy Roosevelt from the 1915 Panamaā€“California Exposition was shockingly authentic. After viewing the reel, my student reflected on how useful it was to see the world ā€œexactlyā€ as it was lived in history. This response gave me pause. Had I done enough to introduce the reel and complicate it as a primary source? My student accepted the moving images on the screen as pure historical truth. This reflection helped me realize I was missing an opportunity to use newsreels as a teaching tool to engage critical analysis and media literacy in my history classroom.
