I thought that the people behind bars the bit was interesting, because it should how many people in the United States and in the world. We have the most people in jail then the world. I would like to learn more about how to make it so we aren’t the highest country in the world with the most people in jail.

Nothin' really surprized me, but I did get lost on how many billionaires there are in each country.I couldn't tell if each 1 = some other amount.So thats how graphs mislead you, along with not being easy to see on most types.

I think the coolest bit of info was that the word "Language" comes from the Latin word for "Tongue". And around 7,000 languages are spoken!!!!!! That is so many! I would want to learn more about languages! Japanese specifically. I think languages are pretty cool, and interesting! I am also learning how to speak Japanese! I know 34 Japanese songs by heart!

A bit of information that I saw that English and French were one of the most common languages in all the different continents. I guess I kind of understand why English is one of the most common but not so much why French is. A piece of information that I would like to learn more about would be what areas speak what language and why they do.

The thing I found most surprising is that India produces more movies then the United States.

Is this Alexander's tomb?!It now appears likely that Ptolemy adapted a vacant tomb that had been prepared by and for the last native Pharaoh of Egypt, Nectanebo II. However, this Pharaoh had fled south to Ethiopia, when Egypt had been invaded by the Persians in 343BC, so he never had the opportunity to occupy his tomb. The site of the prospective tomb was a chapel within the temple complex of the Serapeum in the cemetery area of ancient Memphis at Saqqara. It lay at the end of a mile-long avenue of sphinxes. The Serapeum complex was rediscovered by Auguste Mariette in 1850-1851 by excavating the sands away from the sphinxes one by one. Guarding the entrance to the chapel of Nectanebo II, Mariette discovered an incongruous semicircle of life-size Greek statues of poets and philosophers, which appear to date to the time of Ptolemy. Some of them can be identified, including Pindar, whose house and descendants Alexander had saved at Thebes, Homer, who was Alexander's favourite poet, and Plato, who had been the mentor of Alexander's tutor, Aristotle. Could these statues have been erected to honour Alexander's tomb?
