“The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books—-a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.”

- Albert Einstein

As a scientist, I like to approach everything objectively and collect all my facts before coming to any conclusions. As a scientist and individual, I also have an insatiable curiosity to learn everything I can. As a photographer, I find satisfaction in exploring what inspires and drives other cultures creatively, and the similarities in humanity between ancient peoples and the ones of today. Since I have been getting into some interesting conversations with people who seem to have never heard of many alternative theories and views that I am familiar with, I thought that I would share with you guys a few documentaries on Netflix streaming that I feel are worth watching (and presented in some logical order to watch in!).
