Suribachiyama Tumulus in Tokyo, Japan

October 2, 2023

Home to numerous museums, temples, and the oldest zoo in Japan, Ueno Park reigns supreme as one of Tokyo’s top tourist attractions. Most likely, any visitor to the city finds themselves walking in this park sooner or later, at least once during their trip. Once part of the huge temple complex of Kan’ei-ji, the park itself boasts plenty of interesting landmarks, from an abandoned train station to the face-only Great Buddha. There is another unusual attraction hiding in plain sight, where most...

Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site in...

October 2, 2023

On a quiet hilltop in eastern Colorado, scarcely distinguishable from the plains surrounding it, lies a small granite monument. Adorned with the profile of a Native American with a feather headdress, it reads “SAND CREEK BATTLE GROUND / NOV 29&30, 1864”. However, what happened here in 1864 was hardly a battle. The name of the National Historic Site containing this monument bears a more accurate name for this event: the Sand Creek Massacre. By the 1951 Treaty of Fort...

Cactus Jack's Family Fun Center in Oklahoma...

October 2, 2023

Pulling up to Cactus Jack’s Family Fun Center on the western outskirts of Oklahoma City, it’s hard to distinguish the facility from any other semi-suburban arcade that rings cities across the country. But the unassuming exterior of the building masks a passion for competitive pinball that is matched by only a few locations across the entire southwest. Cactus Jack’s bills itself as Oklahoma’s oldest arcade, having operated in the same location since 1974. For most of its history, it...

October 2, 2023

In the late 19th century, the mysterious death of Zona Heaster Shue raised the perplexing question: Did she die of natural causes, or was it murder? It was true Zona’s mother, Mary J. Heaster, never approved of her daughter’s marriage to Erasmus Trout Shue, but did he kill her? On the fateful day of Zona’s death in 1897, Trout Shue asked a neighbor to call on his wife at home. When the young man walked inside, he found Zona...

Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards in Bergamo, Italy

October 2, 2023

Accademia Carrara is the flagship art museum in the city of Bergamo. The more than 300 items on display consist mainly of paintings and sculptures, but there is also an outlier: the Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards. The original deck of cards is from the mid-15th century, and it was created by a painter by the name of Bembo Bonifacio. However, before the end of the 15th century, three cards had gone missing, and another painter, Antonio Cicognara, decided to re-produce...

In Early Modern Russia, Witches Were Men...

October 2, 2023

This story was originally published on The Conversation and appears here under a Creative Commons license. The word “witches” makes many Americans think of women working in league with the devil. But that hasn’t always been the face of sorcery. Most of Catholic and Protestant Europe embraced the idea of magic as a satanic craft practiced by women, and strong, independent women were kept in line through such accusations. In Orthodox Russia, however, accusers overwhelmingly blamed men for bewitching...

September 29, 2023

By the late 1930s, the question was no longer whether a Second World War would break out, but when—and who would be drawn into it. Whatever was going to happen in Europe or Asia, the United States should stay out: This was the opinion of a large segment of the American public, led by “America First” celebrities like Charles Lindbergh. The United States was large and self-sufficient enough to keep minding its own business, the isolationists argued. Why spend...

From Kenya to Russia, host Dylan Thuras takes listeners to underappreciated places that, with time, have grown beyond what...
