On this day: In 224 the Battle of Hormozdgān was fought effectively ending the Parthian Empire. In 1253 Nichiren, a Japanese Buddhist monk, chants the mantra “Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō” for the very first time and declares it to be the essence of Buddhism – and a new sect is born. In 1788 Maryland became the seventh state to ratify the United States Constitution.. And yes, like the sinking of the Titanic, Mutiny on the Bounty :was not just a movie and a novel – it actually happened in 1789. In 1947 Thor Heyerdahl and five crew mates set out from Peru on the Kon-Tiki to prove that Peruvian natives could have settled Polynesia (( reading his books about his 101-day journey and then his work on Easter Island when I was in elementary school is what started my obsession with anthropology)). And in 2001 Dennis Tito, a billionaire businessman from California, became the world's first space tourist.
