The World Trade Center towers had long since become unprofitable by the time of the attack.

There had been projects to demolish the buildings, but a certain businessman, Larry Silverstein, appeared in the story.

He was willing to buy the towers, but could not pay the full amount at once. For this reason, on July 23, 2001, a deal was made to lease the structures for 99 years and Larry paid about $30 million.

Silverstein immediately insured the towers for 3.5 billion dollars, and the contract separately stipulated the case of a terrorist attack.

On September 11, 2001, Larry Silverstein and his daughter were not injured in the attacks.

Larry liked to eat breakfast every day at WTC-1 and his daughter worked there, but they did not attend that day.

A jury subsequently found the terrorist attacks on the WTC towers on September 11, 2001 to be two separate insurance claims. Open / Comment

2022-04-15 07:43:54 In 1896, the second-rate science fiction writer Morgan Robertson published a novel in London, The Titan's Wreck, about the first and last voyage of the largest passenger ship, which perished in a collision with an iceberg.

The fictional Titan and the real Titanic, which perished in April 1912, had the same appearance and ship's characteristics, number of passengers and even number of casualties.

The book Titan also perished in April 1912... Open / Comment

2022-04-14 19:29:21 The photo shows modern attempts to transport stone blocks

Larger stones have been lifted and moved in human history, such as the lower blocks of the Egyptian pyramids, the trilithons of Baalbek and Stonehenge.

Where did the car driver go wrong? Judging by the descriptions of the transportation process in antiquity from our historians, modern people have the wrong tactics.

They should have taken wooden skids, tied them with string and hauled them with a human engine.

Then they would have had no problem getting the stone to the site. Open / Comment

2022-04-14 07:41:15 Where was Amazonia and its warlike Amazons from ancient Greek legends?

Those who think it was near Greece are wrong. If you look at the scale of Fra Maur's map of 1459, Amazonia falls approximately in the middle of the distance between the Caspian Sea and the Arctic Ocean, that is, approximately, on the triangle Syzran-Kazan-Nizhny Novgorod.

2022-04-13 19:36:06 The mystery of this escape has been unsolved for 100 years.

In 1920, three Alcatraz inmates, Joe Englin, Clarence Englin and Frank Morris, escaped from Alcatraz prison. No one had ever escaped from that prison; it was considered impossible

Only many years later, the police received a letter from one of the escapees, C. Englin. In the letter he told them he was alive and willing to give details of the escape if he were not arrested.

Whether the real Englin wrote this letter is unknown. The fact is that the police received the letter with a delay of ten years, and it is still not clear what the circumstances of the delay were. The police, of course, responded to it, but never received a second letter back.

By that time anything could have happened to Clarence Englin, given his not-so-legal occupation, he could have died for a variety of reasons

The most puzzling thing is that, to this day, none of the men who escaped have been found, their bodies have never been heard of, or seen for any length of time. Open / Comment

2022-04-13 08:08:48 There is an eight-story city underground in Turkey called Derinkuyu.

The preserved city could hold 20,000 people, livestock, and food supplies. It is a network of kitchens, stables, churches, caves, wells, dwellings, and even schools.

It was used as a bunker to protect the locals from Arab-Byzantine wars (possibly) and natural disasters. Open / Comment

The landslide exposed a building dug into the ground right under the house.
Particular attention is drawn here by what exactly covered the arches.

As you understand, tons of sand cannot be a cultural layer. Open / Comment

2022-04-12 08:00:03 Roman heating worked like this: hot gases were vented into cavities in the walls and floor, heating the dwelling, only then escaping through the chimney from the house.

But this system consisted of fireclay bricks, found by archaeologists. The problem is that fireclay bricks are fired at 1'300-1'500°C in rotary kilns.

No idea how an ancient Roman could get it if the wood produced a maximum of 900°C and the coal 1'200°C? Not enough temperature! And that kind of temperature became possible closer to the 15th century.

The Romans just didn't know they didn't have the right technology. Well, either the dating is wrong by a thousand and a half years.

Or history is deliberately "aged" and "ancient" Rome was also in the 15th century Open / Comment
