This is a grab bag of interesting mysteries for just about anyone, delving into true crime, history, science, and the supernatural。 The historical span is from ancient times to fairly recent。 The author travels along with the mystery, trying to offer solutions or sharing the explanations derived so far。 Generally, there are no solutions, just educated guesses。 However, the author's writing style is interesting and readable。There are lots of interesting historical tidbits to learn here but my fav This is a grab bag of interesting mysteries for just about anyone, delving into true crime, history, science, and the supernatural。 The historical span is from ancient times to fairly recent。 The author travels along with the mystery, trying to offer solutions or sharing the explanations derived so far。 Generally, there are no solutions, just educated guesses。 However, the author's writing style is interesting and readable。There are lots of interesting historical tidbits to learn here but my favorite was regarding the Romans。 Because of the shallow nature of their ships, the Romans sailed around the edges of the Mediterranean Sea, rather than sailing straight across。 When they wanted to do naval battle, they tended to hire Egyptians, Greeks, and Phonecians to do the work。 。。。more
