The Oaxaca Valley is located along the Pacific coast in the southwest
corner of Mexico. Oaxaca was first inhabited in prehistory by hunter
gatherers making their way down from the north. Since then, it has been
the home of many great civilizations. (by Paul)

policy and ideology has occurred in several Western countries, most

          The Most Damaging Institutions in Chinese History: Eunuchs and Official Harem 

While there were certainly other institutions that also caused great
damages in various dynasties, two in particular stand out because their
inherent nature leads to instability.

           How Far Had Lenin Achieved His Aims by the Time of His Death in 1924?

          Lenin
was the leader of the Bolshevik party and the head figure of the
Russian revolution of 1917. During his reign from 1917 to 1924 he
ruthlessly  pursued his aims toward the creation of a socialist
workers' paradise with the help of his secret police. For this man the
end justified the means and his idealism did not blind him from
pragmatic solutions. (By Kristian Ola)

           What happened with the Nahuatl-Speaking People after the Conquest of Mexico?

Most of us know the story: The Aztecs had a mighty empire, which in
1521 was destroyed by the Spaniards, creating the beginning of New
Spain. The Aztecs civilization came abruptly to an end. As a corollary,
most of us believe that the Aztecs, as a people and culture,
disappeared as well. Suddenly, all Nahuas became Christianized and
became Mexican �Indians.� (By Hugoestr)

purposeful errors. (by Invictus, Rider, Emp. Barbarossa)

October 6, 891: Formosus, the Archbishop of Porto, was elected to the
Papacy as successor of Stephen V.  Formosus' assumption was something
of a surprise. He could look back on a distinguished, but also very
checkered, career in the Church. Read on for more events... (by Komnenos) 

          Text: Adventures in the Unknown Interior of America by �lvar N��ez Cabeza de Vaca

"We saw three kinds of deer; rabbits and jackrabbits; bears and lions
[panthers]; and other wild animals, including one [the opossum] which
carries its young in a pouch on its belly until they are big enough to
find food by themselves; but, even then, if someone approaches while
they are foraging, the mother will not run before the little ones get
into her pouch."
