Historic Places Lost to Time

It’s fact that our ancient timeline is flawed. The modern world is much older than history teaches us. When looking at some of the most amazing scientific discoveries recently, it’s evident that the traditional chronological approach to age dating–with regard to our ancient history–should be revisited. Once thriving and highly developed cities around the planet lost to our developed consciousness have been rediscovered in recent years. Since ravaged by war and natural disasters, these marvels have come to enlighten us, leaving us to question not only their timeline, but also the stories and history behind them. Host Simon Whistler features 10 such historic places in this episode of Top Tenz.

Infamous Crimes Never Solved

Throughout history, there were a number of murder cases that shocked, repulsed and thrilled the public, but they had one unfortunate thing in common–they were never solved. Top Tenz host Simon Whistler details eight such murders, including the especially sinister Texarkana Moonlight Murders, along the Texas-Arkansas border in the mid-1940s. Dubbed a serial killer at the time, the alleged suspect preyed on young couples in secluded areas over two decades. He shot all of his victims, but amazingly some survived. The case was eerily compared to northern California’s Zodiac killer, but despite having a solid suspect, police could never tie him to the murders.

Canada is Just Plain Weird

Canada is the second biggest country by land mass, with a diverse landscape of mountains, plains and the most fresh-water lakes in the world. Still, there are some things about our northern neighbor that the rest of the world finds just plain weird.

Take the sale of milk in Canada, which is sold in bags! The bags are then placed in milk-bag holders with their corners snipped off, which apparently makes it easier to pour. Now this is just plain weird. Host Simon Whistler entertains us with some other weird stuff that goes on up north in this episode of Top Tenz. Enjoy, eh!

The Real First President

American textbooks taught us that George Washington was the first president of the United States, but they fail to mention an important detail. Washington, of course, was our nation’s first president under the U.S. Constitution.

But before the supreme law came into being, our young country was bound together by the Articles of Confederation. During this period, eight presidents served our fledgling country ahead of  Washington, beginning with John Hanson of Maryland. Simon Whistler unravels the details and tells us about the real first president of the United States on Today I Found Out.
