of his journeys, Marlow descends into deeper levels of Dante’s Hell. As part of the journey, Marlow describes his fascination with a map of Africa and how “it had become a place of darkness” to him. Marlow also describes the map to contain a large river “an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea.” His description of the snake relates to the serpent in the Bible that coincides with the Devil.

This is not to say that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a bad book, I think one person can't make such a broad statement,…

What used to be adjacent to the Mississippi River, Fort de Chartres is located roughly four miles west of the village of Prairie du Rocher, Illinois. The original fort that was Fort de Chartres deteriorated after the banks of the Mississippi consumed the fort piece by piece. The recreation of the fort lies further away from the Mississippi river today, and is as of 2016 not a complete rendition of how the site was.

Similar to Sumer, starting around 2000 BCE, the ancient Chinese river valley civilization…

Lake George is an Endorheic lake, as it has no outflow of water to rivers and oceans. The lake is believed to be more than a million years old. Originally, small streams drained its catchment into the Yass River, but then the Lake George Escarpment rose due to major crustal movement along a strong fault line, blocking this drainage and forming the lake.[1] Lake George has in previous Ice Ages been much larger and deeper.[citation needed] The thickness of sediment beneath the lake exceeds 250…
