THE WORLD FAMOUS HISTORY AND PAST EVENTS

N*akedness and colonialism Nakedness and colonialism  is about the role of the unclothed bodies of Indigenous peoples in the history of contact with Western cultures and the emergence of concepts of race. In all human societies, bodily adornments of many kinds are part of nonverbal communications, indicating social status, wealth, and individuality. In climates which do not require clothing, Indigenous adornments are more often body paint, modifications such as tattoos and scarification, and jewelry, but serve the same social functions as clothing. Europeans made interpretations of indigenous nakedness based upon their own culture and experiences, which were ambivalent regarding nudity. In classical Greek and Roman cultures nudity was normal in many situations, which were depicted in art. In classical antiquity, only the Abrahamic religions viewed the body as shameful, requiring modest dress except in private spaces or when segregated by sex. In the post-classical period, p...

Two soldiers of the Japanese army bet each other to kill 100 Chinese people in the shortest possible time Before the massacre, the Japanese army dropped pamphlets asking Chinese armies to surrender although everything was under their control but when Chinese armies refused it is then they exhibited the real fear of death in the eyes of people. The massacre was so brutal that it is said two soldiers of the Japanese army bet each other to kill 100 Chinese people in the shortest possible time and it is not when they were down if they would forget the counting during the killings they would increase the number by 50 surprisingly all this was not a part of the army operations it was a fraction of their fun during all this war period. They burnt thousands of people near the Yangtze river buried people alive and cut them into pieces it is very difficult to portray the scenario, imagine body parts flowing into the river and the whole river changed its colour from blue to complete blood red thi...

Today We Remember John Lincoln In May of 1861, 9 year old John Lincoln “Johnny” Clem ran away from his  home in Newark, Ohio, to join the Union Army, but found the Army was not  interested in signing on a 9 year old  boy when the commander of the 3rd Ohio Regiment told him he “wasn’t  enlisting infants,” and turned him down. Clem tried the 22nd Michigan  Regiment next, and its commander told him the same.  Determined, Clem  tagged after the regiment, acted out the role of a drummer boy, and was  allowed to remain. Though still not regularly enrolled, he performed  camp duties and received a soldier’s pay of $13 a month, a sum collected  and donated by the regiment’s officers. The next April, at  Shiloh, Clem’s drum was smashed by an artillery round and he became a  minor news item as “Johnny Shiloh, The Smallest Drummer”. A year later,  at the Battle Of Chickamauga, he rode an artillery caisson to the front  and wield...

The most incredible historical fact about King Edward  VII King Edward VII, had a special chair made for digging in... When Edward VII was still a young prince devoid of any responsibility for the crown, he travelled far from the British capital in search of leisure and pleasure. On one of his visits to Paris, he approached Le Chabanais, one of the best-known brothels in Paris. It was located relatively close to the Louvre Museum. Edward VII was assigned his own room whenever he frequented the brothel. The prince's main problem was his overweight. To overcome the physical impediment, the cabinetmaker Louis Soubrier made what he called "the chair of love". The chair was made in such a way that the future king could act without getting too tired. Also, the shape of the chair suggests that it was made so that the man could lie with two women at once.

In the 1920s, there was a flapper fad of hand painting knees. Below is an article from The Des Moines Register from August 2, 1925: "What is more appealing to the eye than a hand-painted knee? The answer, of course, is two hand-painted knees. And the world may expect from now on to see Flapperia's dimpled knees exhibiting a painted pansy or a bleeding heart, or any other design of their choice. This painting of the epidermis in the region of milady's knees is predicted and advocated by Mrs. Ruth J. Maurer, beauty culture expert who has brought the question up for the approval of 500 beauty specialists meeting in Chicago. 'It is an odd and beautiful fashion,' Mrs. Maurer declares. 'Hand-painted pictures on the knees are intriguing. Some of the designs are simple, some elaborate. Some girls prefer a flower or a group of blossoms of startling colors. Others like a portrait or a little landscape.'" The fad disappeared with the Great Depression but made a c...

The Agonizing Death Of Floyd Collins, The Cave Explorer Who Was Trapped Underground For 17 Days Before He Finally Perished On January 30, 1925, William Floyd Collins got stuck in a passageway deep inside Kentucky's Sand Cave, inciting a media spectacle that drew tens of thousands of people to the scene in hopes of seeing him rescued. Floyd Collins was an experienced cave explorer. A participant in what became known as Kentucky’s “Cave Wars” of the early 20th century, Collins made several notable discoveries, including the Great Crystal Cave. But that’s not why the story of Floyd Collins — or Floyd Collins’ body — is remembered today. A cave explorer since the age of six, Collins had never lost his lust for adventure — or for profit — and thus eagerly explored a new cave called the Sand Cave in 1925. But instead of turning the cave into a money-making operation as he’d hoped, Collins got trapped there. Once his rescuers arrived, Collins’ entrapment became a media sensation. Peop...

In 2018 a Nigerian Pastor Allegedly Used Younger Sister For Money Ritu*l In Ogun State. The Pentecostal Pastor who was arrested few days ago after his landlady discovered the skeletal remains of his missing younger sister in his living room has been transferred to Ogun State Criminal Investigation office in Abeokuta. According to area residents, the suspect identified as Sunday Aremu reportedly used his young sister for a money ritual that failed back in 2010 and lied to family members that she went to the mountain. He then kept her body in his living room until it was uncovered while his landlady was trying to evict him for non payment of rent. Many residents who spoke to our reporter at the house located on Akute Road, Ajuwon, a suburb of Ogun state on Friday said the Pastor didn’t use his sister named Funmi for diabolical powers but for money ritual. A resident by the name of Adebowale said: An official of Ogun State Police command said Pastor Sunday Aremu’s case has been transferre...

Someone recently asked why I am so passionate about helping others, where that comes from, especially in the effort to prevent suic*de. I will answer it thusly: “We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton.  We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?” - Richard Dawkins Consider that we have 46 chromosomes. We get 23 each from o...

Home Opinion Don't Be Fooled... Violence Against Kuki Women in Manipur Was Allowed to Happen Don't Be Fooled... Violence Against Kuki Women in Manipur Was Allowed to Happen What’s chilling is the cynicism of the top man running the country. Why is the prime minister unmoved? The video of two Kuki-Zo women being paraded naked and their private parts touched by humans-turned-monsters is a chilling account of what has been allowed to happen in Manipur under the watch of both the Central and the state governments that are seemingly unmoved by this saga of brutality against hapless women. A statement by the Manipur Police says that FIRs have been filed against unknown armed miscreants who committed the heinous crime. Are the armed miscreants unknown when their faces and their ignominious deeds were clearly visible? Is this what policing has come to? It's almost as if the perpetrators of the crime want to deliver a death blow to the hopes of the Kuki-Zo comm...
