Quest Magazine - August 2015

THE world history magazine for kids, families, educators, and history buffs. Stunning photographs, gripping stories and intriguing articles, detailed maps and timelines, bring the past to life.

It really is rather incredible, isn’t it? That a society would stack freezer-sized stones, one upon another, into the shape of a pyramid. And not just do it once, but time and time again. They stacked these stones to honor their dead kings and worship their gods. Learn some fun and interesting facts about the pyramids in this issue.
Also, in this issue, we are delighted to bring you stories, photos and videos on other significant events from ages past, such as how the popside came into being. Because curious minds want to know.
In other news, learn about the Battle of Bosworth, the defining battle during medieval England that ended the reign of Richard III and began the rule of Henry Tutor, known as Henry VII, the first of the Tutor dynasty which would last nearly 200 years.
And finally, we’ll learn why Martin Luther King’s most famous speech, “I Have a Dream” was so critically important during and after the civil rights movement of the 1960’s. The speech is copyrighted by the King family, so while we cannot print it for you here, we hope that you will read and/or listen to it elsewhere.
