Download The Wonder of Stonehenge: A 15-Minute Strange But True Tale Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Stonehenge has been surrounded by mystery and wonder. There have always been questions about where these massive stones came from. How did they get there? Do they hail from a magical world of giants and wizards, or are they manmade? And then there's the most important question: what is their purpose? Many theories have been put forward to answer these questions. Even with all the evidence discovered, will we ever really know? Whatever the answers may be, there is one thing we know for sure: Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world. The three most popular theories for why Stonehenge exists are: that it was a temple to worship ancient earth deities; that it was a giant calendar used to predict the sun and moon cycles; and, finally, that it was a sacred burial site. We will explore these three theories, diving into the evidence discovered for each possibility. Buckle up – this could get rocky!

Download The Catacombs of Paris Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
It all started with a smell. In Paris, France, during the 1800s, the people living there were starting to get sick. They could not escape the foul smells coming from the cemeteries. The worst cemetery was Saints-Innocents (the Cemetery of Innocents). This cemetery was in the heart of the city next to the central market place. It had originally been a Roman cemetery and the city of Paris grew outwards and around it. It was the oldest and biggest cemetery in Paris. People were buried here in mass graves. Even in the harsh, cold wintertime, you could smell the odor for miles around. In the summertime people caught diseases just by walking past it! To make things worse, the land and water became infected, making Paris’s growing population sicker – and even causing death! There was a very simple reason for what was causing all of this. The cemeteries were too overcrowded. The bodies could not be buried deep enough. Find out what was done to solve the problem, and about the mysterious catacombs that are under the streets of Paris today. Ages 8 and up.

Download The Years They Raised Chicago Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Chicago, Illinois sits at the southernmost end of Lake Michigan. In the early days of the United States, it was a great place to build a city. The lake supplied the fresh water they needed to live. Trees were everywhere, providing wood for buildings. The lake supplied the settlers with numerous kinds of fish, including trout, sturgeon, carp, and catfish. There was good farm land nearby for growing crops. The lake even provided a means to ship the grain they raised to the east. Everything seemed perfect. Unfortunately it was too perfect. People flocked to Chicago by the boatload, and many more came overland. In 1840 the population was 4,470. Twenty years later it had grown to 112,172! But the homes did not have plumbing. People would use a chamber pot to go to the bathroom in. The pot would then be dumped out into the street. There it would mix with the horse manure from the thousands of horses that walked the streets every day. Something had to be done! Find out how they solved the problem by raising an entire city in this fun 15-minute book. Ages 8 and up.
