Contrary to popular belief, X is not just political and cat videos. There are thousands of accounts that provide interesting and informative stories about historical figures and movements, from all over the world. I follow dozens of people who post enlightened information about people and places that I was totally unaware of before.
Here is a sampling of what has shown up in my timeline recently.
Geology proves ancient knowledge was correct, long before plate tectonics was even dreamed of.
You really do need to read the story above. It’s really hilarious.
We see that much of Europe is sitting on Roman ruins that have only to be excavated.
I used to play violin, before Covid.
I visited Tintagel, and it was amazing.
I hope I have whetted your appetite for new knowledge. This is only a tiny piece of what is available out there on X/Twitter. You can join for free, you know, to learn so much.

Apropos of nothing, other than a single link to a story about the Norman conquest of England, direct descendant here of William d’Orsay, a knight who rode with the Conqueror and was granted lands, and his wife Elizabeth. The names William and Elizabeth continue in our family after 1,059 years. I’m quite proud of that. For no particularly good reason except that I think it’s cool.
Very cool! My eastern-European Jewish ancestors are unknown, and I have little interest in tracing them. Too risky in today’s world.
