The relationship between history and memory is complex and intertwined, as seen in Mark Baker’s work The Fiftieth Gate and Jerry Fowler’s interview with Elie Wiesel, where they explore the dependability and accuracy of memory in history.
Baker’s exploration of his parents’ past shows that both history and memory have their flaws. While history is used to confirm experiences, it is also characterised as cold and lacking emotion. On the other hand, memory is depicted as indistinct and evasive, with Baker favouring the exactness of history.

Pizza is a food that originated in Italy and has become popular worldwide. It is typically made using round fermented bread topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and various ingredients, then baked in an oven. The cheese commonly used is mozzarella, but other types like Parmesan, Romano, Ricotta, or Monterey Jack can be mixed in. Pizza also has an interesting history, so let’s take a closer look.
In the third century BC, early records from Rome mentioned a similar food item. It consisted of round bread with olive oil, spices, and honey, baked on a stone. Archaeologists discovered a similar pizza house in the ruins of Pompeii.

Intrigued by the liquid, the emperor tasted it and found it delicious and refreshing. Impressed by its taste and potential medicinal properties, he ordered that tea bushes be planted in the gardens of his palace.
