a guy who seems almost too good to be true,
started saying him Latham, Michael Ealy, and Morris Chestnut.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
All right, let's it happened. On September the twelfth.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Four ninety b C. The Battle of Marathon was fought
over in Grace. Now a small Athenian army defeated the
mighty great Persian army. So now they needed to get
word back to Athens about the victory. Fidipities he volunteered
for it. So he ran all the way from Marathon
to Athens, deliver the news, and then drop dead from exhaustion. Wow,
that's according to legend. Marathon to Lathens, it's about twenty

(02:55):
five miles. Then, in eighteen ninety six, in the first
modern Olympic Games, they decided to run the marathon. They
did what they thought was the exact same route that
Fidipities ran. So the race. It was about twenty five
miles there, but the race was really popular. The spectators
loved it, so they decided to keep the marathon and
all the Olympics and all the big track means.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
The only problem was the marathon.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
It varied from wherever that was run at these around
twenty five miles give or take. So in nineteen oh eight,

two miles. Yeah, that's a marathon. Sixteen twenty London, England,

navy officers. They washed the subs and it was covered
in leather and it was ore powered, had a crew,
but he let passengers actually right in it. Well the
thing it worked great. It went up, it submerged and
were able to stand the water for three hours. Now,
although they were really impressed, and the British Navy, they
passed on making the submarine part of the navy. Yeah,

(03:56):
so his investment it just faded away. No, one in
the world ever bought it. Then over two hudred years later,
everybody was scrambling trying to figure out how to build
a submarine. Nineteen ten, Los Angeles, they heard als Wells
