1. Almost everybody has heard of the ancient Maya, a mysterious people who lived in Central
America in 1500 BC — AD 900 and then suddenly disappeared. But very few of us know that
the Maya were not the earliest civilization on the American continent. The first great group of
people there were the mysterious Olmecs.
2. During the English Civil War, King Charles II fought against Oliver Cromwell. One battle
took place at Worcester in 1651. Charles and his men were defeated and had to escape. As night
fell they lost their way and stayed for the night at Boscombel House. There Charles put on a
common man's clothes, cut his hair short and blackened his face with soot. Then Charles set off
north.
3. Hadrian's Wall is an ancient wall across England from Carlisle in the west to Newcastle in the
east. The Roman Emperor Hadrian wanted to protect Roman Britain from attacks by Scottish
tribes. So he told his soldiers to build a wall. It took them nearly six years to complete it. The
Roman soldiers guarded the wall, which was 117 kilometres long and 4 metres high. Now there
are only ruins left of Hadrian's Wall.
4. The largest development in the debate among scientists about what killed the prehistoric
dinosaurs is the idea that acid rain was the cause. Some geologists suggest that a large meteor
hitting the earth at the speed of 65 kilometres per second was able to lead to strongly acidic rain
falling all over the world
5. In 1871, the newly formed Rugby Football Union selected an English team to play the first
ever international match against Scotland. The committee chose a red rose as the team's badge.
Though England lost the match, which took place in Edinburgh, the country's rugby teams have
worn red roses ever since.
