Great Moments in History #49
One of the most astounding mysteries of the world is this ancient tile pattern in Greece, dated to about 1,500 B.C.

Little was known about the titles except that they were installed along with other beachfront roads on the isle of Igrigoria in ancient times.

US War Plans with China Taking Shape
