I’m kind of sick of being into tech. Everything is riddled with ads and speculative investment. You have to manage your expectations so much because everything has a good likelihood of turning into garbage at a moments notice. It’s just not fun anymore. I know I’m probably a bit nostalgia blinded, but I miss the mid-late 2000s and early 2010s so much. Games were new and interesting, tech was moving at a lightning fast pace, things were fun.
I know it’s more complicated than that, and there are reasons things are how they are, but fuck man. Anyway, off my chest.
You listed one of the most popular historical figures, by far, and some physics/chemistry, which I can assure you is involved in making enormous amounts of money, as someone in the nanotechnology field.

Just a few things I’ve managed to find:
An old novel
Britannica has some sparse information
The first edition of the Britanica speaks of it as a ‘vast country’
Clearly there has been a lot written on the subject, but you really have to dig to find even scraps remaining of what people once said of it, which gets overshadowed by popular conspiracy theories as you have shown.
