World History

Tudor Dynasty.
The English dynasty, which ruled England from 1485 to 1603, was composed of members descended from the Houses of Lancaster and York. It was essentially a chess game, where members were eliminated to reach the English throne. It had been seen fought by multiple houses over the centuries. Gruesome, violent, and filled with prolific individuals, England has seen its fair share of battles from royal members trying to win over the power that it held by dominating the entire island. The House of Tudor was no exception, and it was the only house in English history to break ties with the Roman church, produce its own church managed by a king, and produce its own bible written in English. So who founded such a house that is still considered by many to be one of the most famous and well-known houses in English history? Well, sit down and relax and delve deep down into the history of the king that ended the War of the Roses, a monarch that was obsessed with trying to procreate a male heir into the English family by constantly marrying, a king who was considered by many to be the first English monarch to be raised as a protestant, a queen known for killing and wiping out protestants and later on being remembered as the “bloody queen of England” and the “virgin” queen that changed England for the better.

Gordon Ramsey’s Peru's Sacred Valley Journey
Peru's Sacred Valley was once part of the Inca Empire, which famously developed terracing techniques to farm steep mountainsides. Traditional agriculture is still practiced using some of these ancient methods. Indigenous peoples like the Quechua and Aymara make up a large portion of the population. They have sustained their linguistic and cultural traditions despite centuries of change. The Andean concept of ayni, or reciprocal communal labor, remains important. Families and communities support each other through cooperative work on construction projects, harvests, herding, etc. Weavings, textiles, and colorful dresses reflect each valley and ethnic group. Alpaca and llama wool is spun/dyed using plant materials and then woven into clothes, blankets, and other goods. Healing traditions blend Western medicine with natural plant remedies used for centuries in the high-altitude environment. Cuisine relies on crops developed by the Incas like potatoes, quinoa, and chili peppers combined with native foods like guinea pig and trout from Lake Titicaca.
