Dragons
Dragon is the common name that refers to a variety of gigantic reptiles reported by people of ancient times. Dragons were also a common theme in mythology. Although dragon legends are often dismissed as myth today, many of these stories may have a historical basis in sightings of recent dinosaurs. Ancient countries, such as England, China, Scandinavia, France, India, Egypt, and Arabia each recount numerous dragons or a variety of types. There are, in fact, nearly 200 such places in Britain where dragon sightings have been reported throughout history. Multiple terrestrial, flying, and sea dragons were described by these cultures and known by various names. Many of these creatures were predatory to livestock or threatening to other industries and therefore often target by hunters and killed.

U.S. Christian Heritage
The Christian heritage of the United States of America is acknowledge as deeply rooted by both historians and scholars. Many of the colonies that became the United States were settled by men and women of deep religious convictions who in the seventeenth century crossed the Atlantic Ocean to practice their faith freely.

Noah's Ark Expeditions
The search for Noah's ark has fascinated archaeologists and explorers for hundreds of years, drawing many adventurers to the mountains of Ararat, the landing place of the ark as recorded in the book of Genesis. Yet after numerous expeditions, the true location of the ark remains a mystery. Many claim to have seen the ark, and some even say they have found and entered it, but none of the alleged witnesses have been able to produce unequivocal proof of the ark's existence or find their way back a second time. The stories often contradict each other as well, but they almost all agree that they saw Noah's ark on Mt. Ararat, located in eastern Turkey near the border with Armenia and Iran.

Acacia tree at sunset, Masai Mara, Kenya, Africa
Acacia are any of the species of trees and shrubs that belong to the taxonomic genus Acacia. There are over 1,300 species with over 950 found in Australia, and others found in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. They are called Acacia's because of the Greek word for thorn, Acanth-, because a lot of Acacia's have spiny, sharp parts.
Artist's conception of a black hole
A black hole is a region of space whose gravitational force is so strong that nothing can escape from it. A black hole is invisible because it even traps light. The fundamental descriptions of black holes are based on equations in the theory of general relativity developed by the German-born physicist Albert Einstein. The theory was published in 1916.
