Despite limited technology and resources, ancient scientists used empirical data learn about the world and come up with accurate hypotheses.
Spices were highly valued by early foodies.
Transparent communication, aligning incentives, and reconciling data with lived experience is crucial for success.

Alexander the Great inadvertently set the stage for the events of Hanukkah? Do you know how?
By dying in 323 BCE without a succession plan. After his death, three Greek generals — #Antigonus, #Ptolemy, and #Seleucus — divvied up Alexander's conquered lands, each establishing a dynasty. It was a Seleucid leader in Syria who, some generations later, desecrated the #Jewish #Temple in #Jerusalem, prompting the #Maccabees to rebel.

We had a great class looking at Martin Waldseemüller's 1507 world map. Coordinates of #Ptolemy, mappae mundi, portolanos, illustrations, and testimony by one Amerigo Vespucci combine into a fascinating collection of printed documents. On display at the Library of Congress!
