The Young Lady's mummy was discovered in March 1898 by French Egyptologist Victor Loret.  The curious remains were found in the Valley of the Kings, a region known for housing the tombs of pharaohs belonging to the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. After the discovery, the Young Lady's tomb came to be called KV35, and in it archaeologists also found the mummies of the pharaohs Amenhotep II, Thutmés IV, Ramses IV, V and VI. Today, the Young Lady is on display at the Grand Egyptian Museum, located in Cairo, Egypt.

THE TERRIBLE STORY OF THE BELGIAN WOMEN WHO HAD COLLABORATED WITH THE GERMANS ARE SHAVED, TARRED, AND FEATHERED AND.....

 Belgian women who had collaborated with the Germans are shaved, tarred, and feathered and forced to give a Nazi salute. Belgian women who collaborated with the Germans during the occupation are forced to give the Nazi salute before their jeering countrymen. The women's heads were all shaven as part of their public humiliation. To be honest with you, I struggle to look at this photograph just to think of all the pain and suffering thesewomen would be subjugated for the rest of their lives just for being intimate with German troops. I have said this once, and i will say this again, not all German troops were heartless murdering robot Nazis and most were just serving their country just as Britain of America and most were conscripted anyway.  We never really access that part of History however as the allies won, meaning Axis troops are always painted in a dark light. Do not get me The 65th anniversary of the D-day landings this week is an occasion to revisit joyful pictures of the lib

THE STRANGE AND UNIMAGINEABLE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN AUSCHWITZ CONCENTRATION CAMP.

 On this day in 1945, Auschwitz concentration camp, with its last 7,500 inmates still present, was liberated by Soviet forces. Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Germans. A complex of camps, Auschwitz included a concentration camp, killing center, and forced-labor camps. It was located 37 miles west of Krakow (Cracow), near the prewar German-Polish border. In mid-January 1945, as Soviet forces approached the Auschwitz camp complex, the SS began evacuating Auschwitz and its satellite camps. Nearly 60,000 prisoners were forced to march west from the Auschwitz camp system. Thousands had been killed in the camps in the days before these death marches began.  Tens of thousands of prisoners, mostly Jews, were forced to march to the city of WodzisÅ‚aw in the western part of Upper Silesia. SS guards shot anyone who fell behind or could not continue. Prisoners also suffered from the cold weather, starvation, and exposure on these marches.  More than 15,000 died during the death ma

THE HORRIBLE EXECUTION OF MARGARET WATER FOR THE BRIXTON BABY FARMING CASE ....

 Margaret Waters- The Brixton Baby Farming case. 35 year old widow, Margaret Waters was charged with five counts of wilful murder of children in the Brixton area of London, as well as neglect and conspiracy.   She had placed adverts in local newspapers headed “Adoption” claiming that a married couple in a good position were wishing to adopt a baby, as they were unable to have a child of their own.  A fee of £4 was to be payable.  In all 27 adverts were put in various papers. The 16 year old daughter of the Cowen family had become pregnant and her father answered one of the adverts.   He received a letter signed M. Willis and arranged a meeting with this person whom he later identified as Margaret Waters.  He paid her £2 to take baby John who had been born on the 14th of May 1870. Sergeant Richard Relf of the Metropolitan Police became the first person to specialise in investigating baby farming murders. He examined the cases of 18 infant deaths in the Brixton area, leading to the arres

THE VICTIM WAS BROUGHT OUT FROM A SHED AND LED STRUGGLING TO A CHAIR TO WHICH JE WAS THEN BOUND.

 “We marched to the quarry outside Staples at dawn.  The victim was brought out from a shed and led struggling to a chair to which he was then bound, and a white handkerchief placed over his heart as our target area. He was said to have fled in the face of the enemy. Mortified by the sight of the poor wretch tugging at his bonds, twelve of us, on the order raised our rifles unsteadily. Some of the men, unable to face the ordeal, had got themselves drunk overnight.  They could not have aimed straight if they tried, and, contrary to popular belief, all twelve rifles were loaded. The condemned man had also been plied with whisky during the night, but I remained sober through fear. The tears were rolling down my cheeks as he went on attempting to free himself from the ropes attaching him to the chair. I aimed blindly and when the gun smoke had cleared away, we were further horrified to see that, although wounded, the intended victim was still alive. Still blindfolded, he was attempting to

It’s astonishing that any human being could survive the terrible torture … It was a “lovely spring day” when Corporal Ian Forsyth arrived at a place of darkness and death.  The 21-year-old wireless operator with the 15th/19th King’s Royal Hussars was among the first British troops to reach the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northern Germany 75 years ago this week “We weren’t expecting to see anything – we didn’t know there was such a place.  We had been going ahead without any idea there was anything there. I think that was the worst part,” Forsyth, now 96, recalls. What he and other British soldiers found on 15 April 1945 was beyond comprehension.  “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing – I couldn’t believe … people could sink to that level, and treat people the w

DURING THE MIDDLE AGES, THE WOMEN HAD AN ODD HABITS, IN THE MORNING MARRIED WOMAN WOULD PUT A SMALL DOSE OF POISON IN THE BREAKFAST THEY PREPARED FOR THEIR HUSBANDS.

DURING THE MIDDLE AGES, THE WOMEN HAD AN ODD HABITS, IN THE MORNING MARRIED WOMAN WOULD PUT A SMALL DOSE OF POISON IN THE BREAKFAST THEY PREPARED FOR THEIR HUSBANDS. Later on, when their men returned home during the evening, they would be given the antidote, In this way, the poison would not become harmful and affect them. According to some legends; there was a French city where, during the Middle Ages, the women had an odd habit. In the morning, married women would put a small dose of poison in the breakfast they had prepared for their husbands. Later on, when their men returned home during the evening, they would be given the antidote. In this way, the poison would not become harmful and affect them. There was a strict reason for this practice. Should the husbands remain elsewhere for too long, as the administration of the antidote got delayed, the men would end up experiencing symptoms like nausea, headaches, depression, vomiting, pain or shortness of breath. The longer the m

THE EXECUTION OF FREDERICK BAKER FOR THE HORRIBLE MURDER OF SWEET FANNY ADAMS.

 Frederick Baker - the horrible murder of sweet Fanny Adams. The execution Frederick Baker, for the murder of 8 year old Fanny Adams at Alton in Hampshire, was carried out at the Hampshire County Gaol at Winchester on Christmas Eve 1867, in the presence of 5 - 6,000 people, a majority of whom were women. 29 year old Frederick Baker was a respectable solicitor’s clerk for William Clement in Alton High Street.  On the afternoon of Saturday the 24th of August 1867, Fanny Adams, her 7 year old sister, Lizzie, and her friend Minnie Warner were allowed to go out and play in Flood Meadow beside the River Wey.  They walked towards it along Tanhouse Lane where they met Baker.   He gave Lizzie and Minnie three halfpence to buy sweets and offered Fanny a halfpenny to go with him to The Hollow.  She refused so when the other two had gone he picked her up and she struggled and screamed.  Her cries were heard by Minnie and a Mrs. White, but were soon stifled when Baker battered her to death with a r

THE WORLD FACE THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST, HOW ELIE WIESEL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE CONCEPT OF THE HOLOCAUST.

THE WORLD FACE THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST, HOW ELIE WIESEL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE CONCEPT OF THE HOLOCAUST. the terrible catastrophe of the Nazi persecution and genocide of the Jews at a time in the early 1960s. How Elie Wiesel taught the world to face the horror of the Holocaust Elie Wiesel will go down in history as the man who invented the concept of the Holocaust.  Although he wasn’t the very first to use the term, it was his writing and speaking that most potently dramatised the catastrophe of the Nazi persecution and genocide of Jews at a time in the early 1960s when it was only hazily understood and shiftily confronted.  His contemporaries Primo Levi and Hannah Arendt may have had subtler and deeper things to say about this horror, but Wiesel, softly spoken and gauntly handsome, exuded a rabbinical aura – “Jeremiah with his message of rebuke but also of Isaiah with his words of consolation”, as one obituarist put it – that gave his utterances unique mor

WOMAN TURNS TO CASSAVA FOR PLEASURE, ENDS UP IN HODPITAL INSTEAD...

 Woman Turns To Cassava For Pleasure, Ends Up In Hospital Instead Who needs expensive vibrators when nature has given us an abundance of crops that might provide the same pleasure? That thought might be cringe-worthy for most but some people actually turn to vegetables like cucumber or eggplant when they don’t have a sex toy and, for them, it works. But sometimes, even a cucumber is not just enough, they just had to go for something more intense – like a cassava. That’s what exactly happened to one woman, who became the subject of a viral post on social media. Allegedly, the woman tried to pleasure herself using, not a cucumber, but the edible tuberous root cassava. The unidentified woman was just one of the people who prefer organic things, including sex toys. Cassava is one of the plants that have been reportedly used as a sex toy, along with cucumbers. You have to give her a thumbs up, though, for thinking about using protection even when it’s a root crop – not that it helped. While

WHAT WE FOUGHT AGAINST, IN NOVEMBER 1944, THE NAZI OHRDUF CAMP WAS ESTABLISHED TO FORCED LABOR TO CONSTRUCT A ROUTE,  Local civilians were hired to handle the dynamiting, while prisoners would come in behind to dig and pick up rocks, With poor working conditions and no protective gear offered. What We Fought Against In November 1944, the Nazis established Ohrdruf south of Gotha, Germany.  As a subcamp, Ohrdruf was located about 30 miles west of Buchenwald.  Codenamed SIII, the Ohrdruf camp was established to supply forced labor to construct a route that would lead to a communications center in the basement of nearby Mühlberg Castle, located in the town of Ohrdruf.  Prisoners were to connect the castle with a railway by digging tunnels through nearby mountains.  The tunnels would also serve as an emergency shelter for the train that contained Hitler’s headquarters, the Führersonderzug, in the event of an evacuation from Berlin.  Local civilians were hired to handle the dynamiting, while

COLORIZED PHOTOS THAT CAPTURE WORLD WAR II AS IT REALLY WAS

 55 Colorized Photos That Capture World War II As It Really Was From the attack on Pearl Harbor to the heroics of D-Day, these colorized images offer a clear glimpse into history's bloodiest conflict. World War II was the biggest, deadliest, and arguably the most catastrophic conflict in human history. The repercussions of the war can still be felt today, as the landscape of the world changed, both literally and figuratively. Millions of lives were lost, entire nations were destroyed and created, and even after the dust settled, the resulting status quo soon led to other tumultuous conflicts, like the Cold War. Part of the reason why the echoes of World War II still linger in modern times is photography. In the two decades between World War I and World War II, advancements in photography emerged at an astonishing rate, allowing professional and amateur photographers alike to capture World War II in stunning detail — both the horrors and the heroics. Photos served as a major source

A witness to surrender: Burnie lensman Bert Winter captures historic moments of WWII in New Guinea Bert Winter's images of the Japanese surrender in what is now Papua New Guinea at the end of World War II capture forever a moment of high emotion and gravity. His photographs even inspired Julie Harris, a volunteer from Burnie Regional Museum in Tasmania, to make a pilgrimage to the lonely airstrip where the surrender occurred after she recently catalogued the images. Winter, a Burnie boy, was there as the Royal Australian Air Force's (RAAF) official photographer on September 13, 1945 when about 3,000 Australian servicepeople lined the airstrip at Wom, near Wewak, in the nation's north. His lens captured the Imperial Japanese Army's General Hatazo Adachi as he was tr

 Man posing for a photograph with skulls of fallen soldiers at Gallipoli, 1921. A ghastly image indeed, though these skulls were just a couple of dozens of the thousands of soldiers who perished on the hills of Gallipoli in 1915.
