HISTORY JULY/AUGUST
PRINCES IN THE TOWER
Prince Edward and his brother, Richard, vanished from the Tower of London in 1483. Although Shakespeare and many historians pin Richard III as their murderer, stunning new evidence suggests another fate for the Princes in the Tower. Other features in this issue include:
• The Mysteries of Mount Nemrut - In the first century b.c., King Antiochus built a vast monument on Turkey’s Mount Nemrut, rich with astronomical symbols. Dubbed the eighth wonder of the world, the site is believed to hold a royal burial chamber at its heart.
• Sunken Cities – Swimming through the streets of Phanagoria, Canopus, and other ancient cities consigned to the waves by quakes or floods, archaeologists can glimpse at what life was like in these vibrant metropolises before disaster struck.
• Avenging Germanicus – Loved by the masses, the brilliant general Germanicus was a shoo-in to succeed his uncle, Emperor Tiberius. His mysterious death in A.D. 19 stunned Rome, prompting a campaign to bring his killer to justice.
• The Mongol Conquest – In 1236 the great khan Ögödei invaded west from the steppes, crushing Kyivan Rus, Poland, and Hungary. Europe trembled as the hordes moved on to Vienna—only to suddenly retreat.
