April 2005 Spotlight: Historic & Mysterious Places
People have long been fascinated with historic and mysterious places throughout the
world. Such areas have inspired intrigue and speculation in the minds of writers,
scientists, historians, archeologists, and everyday people. Many have wondered, how was
Stonehenge built? Does the Bermuda Triangle really exist? Is there really a lost city of
Atlantis? Why were the giant sculptures on Easter Island built? The Great Sphinx, the
pyramids of Egypt, and the Tower of London have also captured the imaginations of people
for generations. Explore these historic and mysterious places in SIRS Discoverer articles.
Spotlight of the Month topics are selected mainly from Chase's Calendar of
Events. Articles are also accessible within the main database and remain in the SIRS Spotlight
of the Month newsletter
archives for one year.
