The Netherlands is unlike any other country on Earth.
What sets the Netherlands apart from every other country isn’t its size; it's the fact that 17% of the area of the country was once in the sea.
Turning the sea into land is no easy feat, but it is something that the Dutch have been doing for centuries. Not only have they expanded the territory of the Netherlands, but they have also created a system that protects the country from flooding and storms.
Learn about how the Dutch managed to reclaim land from the sea on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1582, a Japanese nobleman by the name of Lord Otomo Sorin sent a group of envoys to Europe.
The entire round trip of their journey took eight years, and along the way, they visited several European countries and met multiple European heads of state, including two popes.
It was hoped that their mission would revolutionize relations between Europe and Japan.
Learn more about the Tensho Embassy and the first Japanese mission to Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The ancient Greeks had a polytheistic religion and a pantheon of gods.
They didn’t just have many gods; they had a LOT of gods. Gods that ruled over many different aspects of human endeavor and the natural world.
These gods had a mythology that bound them up together in a very dysfunctional and often disturbing family tree.
You’re probably familiar with some of them, but others are pretty obscure.
Learn more about the Greek gods and their mythology on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the early 20th century, David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale, and his wife Sydney Bowles had seven children, six girls and one boy.
The sisters all achieved notoriety for entirely different reasons.

Learn more about the Mitford Sisters and their very different lives on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1970, one of the world’s largest infrastructure projects opened in Aswan, Egypt.
It was a dam that harnessed the power of the Nile River, the longest river in the world.
The dam provided electricity for half of the country and tamed the annual floods, a regular feature on the Nile.
But the project wasn’t without its drawbacks. It became a point of contention during the Cold War, displaced thousands, and destroyed an unknown number of ancient artifacts.
Learn more about the Aswan High Dam on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

It is the most expensive substance in the world by a wide margin.
When it was first proposed, it was actually proposed in jest. However, decades later, the joke turned out to have been true.
It is a fundamental part of the universe, and by all accounts, it should be everywhere, yet it can’t be found anywhere, and physicists aren’t really sure why.

One of the most popular card games in the world is poker.
The game was played in the old west among cowboys, by dogs on velvet paintings, and by the crew of the Star Ship Enterprise.
Poker is played informally among friends and family, yet it is also a high-stakes competitive game where millions of dollars can be won or lost.
It is a game that has origins that go back centuries, but in its modern manifestation, it is also very modern.
Learn more about the game of Poker and how it became one of the most popular card games in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Perhaps the most respected and feared soldiers in the world are those who belong to Special Forces.
Special Forces are considered to be the elite of the elite. Most nations have some sort of Special Forces units in their military.
Some of the best-known Special Forces units are household names and others are, how shall we say, more secret.
While Special Forces seem rather modern, the tradition of creating units of elite soldiers actually goes back to antiquity.

On the morning of February 14, 1929, a horrific crime took place on the north side of Chicago.
Seven men were lined up against the wall of an auto garage and gunned down in cold blood by machine gun fire.
The event marked the low point of the violent mob wars that took place in the city of Chicago. It also marked a turning point in attitudes towards prohibition in the United States and the war on organized crime.
