    Content: This course examines some of the great mysteries of the human past. We debunk many of the false claims that have been made about our ancestors, like the ancient astronauts assertion, the idea that a number of the world’s prominent civilizations were established by alien visitors to earth. We explore the historical, social, economic, political, religious, racist, and even psychological motives behind these representations. We also examine a broad slate of real wonders from the ancient world, such as the megaliths of Stonehenge. We conclude that virtually everywhere human beings have tread they have left a rich body of archaeological remains attesting to their universal genius.…

Many of the lines create the shapes of animals, such as spiders, monkeys, or birds. The figures’ origins are shrouded in mystery, as well as their purpose. Many theories about these things have emerged, such as the theory that they are part of a massive astrological calendar, or that the lines are sacred, and used for religious ceremonies.…

    Not only did The Apollo Program prove NASA’s capabilities, but other space projects have also had significant accomplishments. Throughout the 1990’s and 2000’s, various spacecrafts were sent into space to explore the Earth, Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter. NASA’s Discovery program, one of their low cost missions that focuses on the solar system, sent the Hubble Space Telescope in April 1990 to orbit Earth and take photographs of its atmosphere. The photos taken by Hubble “revolutionized ideas about the universe, contributing to the discovery of dark energy, a force that caused the universe to expand at an ever-increasing rate, and the discovery and characterization of planets outside the solar system” (Flynn). For centuries, humans have had limited knowledge about space and the planets that occupy it, however, The Hubble Space Telescope expanded the world’s knowledge on astronomy.…

    A few interviews with visitors were followed to investigate their opinions about the concept and what kind of information they were particularly interested in. The results showed that the concept was embraced by visitors to a large extent. They believed it would make the experience “funny” and “more alive”, and it would be attractive for particularly young visitors who were relatively less interested in visiting archaeological museums. Indeed, according to one staff at Medelhavsmuseet, the average age of their regular visitors (except for e.g., school group visits) was above 20. The interviewed visitors who were at their 20’s indicated that if I avoided a “too cartoonish” design they appreciated the concept and did not think it appeared childish or silly for them. The feedback regarding the types of information visitors were interested in about the statue can be concluded in following four aspects: 1) When, where, and why it was made; 2) When and how it was found; 3) Why it was more famous than other finds; 4) Who it…
