1903 Wright Flyer: First in Flight

1903 Wright “Kitty Hawk” Flyer

The Wright brothers inaugurated the aerial age with the world’s first successful flights of a powered heavier-than-air flying machine. The Wright Flyer was the product of a sophisticated four-year program of research and development conducted by Wilbur and Orville Wright beginning in 1899. After building and testing three full-sized gliders, the Wrights’ first powered airplane flew at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, making a 12-second flight, traveling 36 m (120 ft), with Orville piloting. The best flight of the day, with Wilbur at the controls, covered 255.6 m (852 ft) in 59 seconds.

The Wrights pioneered many of the basic tenets and techniques of modern aeronautical engineering, such as the use of a wind tunnel and flight testing as design tools. Their seminal accomplishment encompassed not only the breakthrough first flight of an airplane, but also the equally important achievement of establishing the foundation of aeronautical engineering.

The Giza plateau

Giza

The pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx are among the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and indeed already were even in Roman times.

Each of these spectacular structures served as the final resting place of a king of the 4th Dynasty (c.2613–2494 BC). The Great Pyramid of Giza was built for king Khufu (c.2589–2566 BC), and the other two for Khafre and Menkaure, his son and grandson. Khufu’s pyramid is both the oldest and largest of the three, and the first building to exceed it in height would not be built for another 3,800 years!

Although the three pyramids dominate the plateau, they are in fact surrounded by many other monuments. Every king’s pyramid was just one element albeit the most important of a larger complex that included smaller, subsidiary, queens’ pyramids; an additional one that acted as a second, symbolic, tomb for the king, called a satellite pyramid; mastaba tombs for nobility and other family members; burials of actual and/or symbolic boats; and a pair of temples linked by a richly decorated causeway. One of these temples, called the valley temple, led into the pyramid complex, and was located on or near a body of water where boats could dock.

The other, the funerary (or upper) temple, stood near the base of the pyramid. Priests maintained the mortuary cult of the deceased king in these temples, where his divine aspect was worshiped, and where rich and diverse offerings were presented to his soul so he could have a peaceful and luxurious afterlife.

MadeinMycountry Europe (EU)

Europe (Ευρωπη): The name Europe originates from Greek mythology primarily linked to Europa (Ευρωπη), a Phoenician princess abducted by Zeus (Διας) who transformed into a white bull and carried her to Crete. Etymologically it derives from Greek roots “eurys” (ευρυς-wide) and “ops” (ωψ-face/eye), meaning “wide-gazing” (“ευρύ/ανοιχτό βλέμμα”) or “broad of aspect,” (“ευρύχωρη”) describing the landmass.

MadeinMycountry Europe. MadeinMycountry is a global platform that celebrates and supports local history, culture, art, and nature conservation efforts.

Early European culture was shaped by farming, the development of metallurgy, and the rise of Mediterranean civilizations. Ancient Greece introduced democracy, philosophy, and theater, while the Roman Empire created enduring political and legal systems.

Europe’s rich history is featuring monuments, museums, and sites like the Palace of Versailles, the Acropolis and the Roman Forum to name a few. Philosophy (from Socrates to Voltaire), literature (Homer, Shakespeare), and scientific inquiry are fundamental to the European identity.

While sharing a “European” identity, the continent boasts immense diversity in languages, music, culinary traditions, and customs.The European Union actively works to protect this “rich and diverse mosaic” of cultural, natural, and archaeological heritage.

A specific conception of the individual, emphasizing human rights and personal liberty. European culture has been continuously shaped by migrations, interactions, and the blending of traditions. European cultural, political, and intellectual, movements have significantly influenced the rest of the world.

According to the United Nations, Europe consists of 44 recognized countries, while around 50 states are often considered part of the continent. Europe is commonly divided into five main geographical regions: Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, and Central Europe. These regions are defined by shared geography, history, and culture, with additional classifications like the Nordic countries, Baltic states, and British Isles.

North: Normally includes Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark), Finland, and Iceland. Often includes the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) South: Includes countries on the Mediterranean Sea, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Malta, and San Marino. East: Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Bulgaria, and the European part of Russia. West: France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Monaco, and sometimes the British Isles.
