People from all over the world are in the tiny town of Lotus in El Dorado County looking for something that's out of this world, but leave it to a stay-at-home mom walking her dog to find a precious meteorite.
The origins of the great civilization known as the Byzantine Empire can be traced to 330 A.D., when the Roman emperor Constantine I dedicated a ânew Romeâ on the site of the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium.
The Holy Roman Empire came into existence long after the Roman Empire had collapsed. It had no official capital, but the emperorsâusually Germanic kingsâruled from their homelands. In the fourth century, Christianity was embraced by the emperor and was pronounced the official religion of the Roman Empire.
