Beyond the aftershocks, an additional 7.5 magnitude quake occurred southwest of the city. The information and images coming out of Turkey and Syria are devastating, and this catastrophe has caused a horrific loss of life and injuries. Many of the survivors are now struggling with the loss of family members, and a lot of houses, buildings, infrastructure, and ancient sites were damaged or destroyed. Thousands of people are now homeless. The situation is dire, and the world must unite to deal with this crisis.

Our ancestors knew this, and the heroic protagonists of their legends weren’t infallible. By bringing their heroes down to a more human level, the idea of doing heroic acts also became more attainable. Courageous acts and noble qualities weren’t just for gods and goddesses, real people did brave things and had morals and virtues as well. Discover new perspective on the stories of familiar names such as Joan of Arc, King Arthur, and Alexander the Great. Were the voices that Joan of Arc heard of divine or neurological origin? Was King Arthur’s story elevated to the extent that he became a British messiah? We also question whether the famous Alexander was really so great. Times and cultures change and evolve, and, as we find out in this issue, sometimes a hero becomes a villain. Finally, we explore two amazing ancient sites; one with a tragic story and the other a story of hope and revival. Read the tale of the Peking Man site filled with political drama, international alliances, and mysterious deaths and disappearances.
