What would persuade the Canadian ambassador to jump from a window of one of Cairo’s tallest buildings to certain death? In 1956, Cambridge educated, highly respected diplomat, Herbert Norman, was hand picked by Canadian Primer Minister, Lester B. Pearson, to be his point man in Egypt during the Suez Crisis. Pearson later won the Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to the peace process. Norman, who had earlier served as a special assistant to the Supreme Commander Allied Powers in occupied Japan, General Douglas MacArthur, was under investigation by the infamous American Senator Joe McCarthy as a communist in the midst of cold war tensions. Was he a communist, a spy, or a loyal and effective diplomat? Why did he kill himself? His ambiguous suicide note only made the situation more mysterious.Site users are encouraged to come up with their own interpretations of primary documents.

The site is available in English and French. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=619433 This site includes a complete collection of historical documents, images and video clips related to the death of artist Tom Thomson. His mysterious death in the summer of 1917 has contributed to the mythic status of the painter as a rugged wilderness man, a sensitive genius whose life was cut short by cruel fate. For some, however, Thomson's death has also become the focal point of an unresolved and complex set of mysteries. Was the drowning of the excellent canoeist on a calm July day accidental, or did it have some connection to a love triangle and a German American draft dodger hiding in the remote resort? To many who knew Thomson, or who have come to love his art work so associated with the iconic “Group of Seven”, the circumstances of his death suggest no other conclusion but that he was murdered and that his body does not lie at its apparent final resting place.

It helped explain almost every aspect of Stonehenge. Also, the website has as much information about Stonehenge that it could contain. The website broke each section of the creation of Stonehenge down and covered all of the basic facts. Then for each fact and aspect it had links to more articles about that one certain aspect. That link would contain more facts and would go more into detail about that specific subject.
