Error: Found Item Style/AppTheme More than one time

I have an error after editing the Theme on the Fun Facts Project, that I cannot undo.

I have tried to Clean and Rebuild and undo the edits I made in the training. Nothing is working. I also re downloaded the Zip Project Files. How can I I get back to correct code?

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.

C:\Users\AndroidStudioProjects\FunFacts\app\src\main\res\values\styles.xml: Error: Found item Style/AppTheme more than one time

Apologies for my ignorance as I haven't done this project but I'm just curious, it says it found item Style/AppTheme more than once, isn't that your problem? you have something called:

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->

You have this twice with different parents but the same name.
