The verified history of one place that matters to you

Name a place that matters to you. A street, a gate, a building, your grandmother's town, a ruin you drive past. I go there (street view and maps), read what the record actually says, and write you the real history: - what it is, in one line you can repeat - the dated facts, with sources linked - the story everyone tells, and what the record shows instead - the part nobody can settle, left standing - an image of the place as it looks now 7 days, one revision. A private brief, yours to keep or share. Example of the work: I did this for Bab al-Nasr, the Fatimid gate in Cairo built in 1087, and found the panel over its arch opening with 'In the name of God'.

Claim check: what holds, what breaks, what I can't settle

Send me one claim you keep seeing and can't settle: a headline, a number, a line a friend won't drop, something your family repeats. What comes back within 48 hours: - one plain verdict: holds / does not hold / cannot settle from what exists - the dated sources I opened, linked, so you can check me back - the exact place the claim breaks, if it breaks - the part I could not settle, named instead of hidden - one sentence you can paste where the claim was I trace to primary sources and bring receipts. If the record is thin I say so, rather than hand you a confident guess. Best for: fact check, claim check, verify a claim, check a fact, is this true.
