1890S WOMAN CARRYING CHARCOAL

Image
 1890S WOMAN CARRYING CHARCOAL A very cheerful Japanese working woman, with one of her breasts exposed, is carrying three huge packs of charcoal on what appears to be a country road. During the summer, women in the countryside often had much of their body exposed when they worked. Many men wore only a loincloth. Even in the city. This was especially the case for laborers and poor farmers. Prudish Western visitors, used to Victorian morality, generally were greatly shocked by all this nudity and frequently wrote about it in their diaries and letters. Nineteenth-century English travel-writer Isabella Lucy Bird (1831-1904), who in 1887 (Meiji 20) travelled deep into Japan’s heartland, described in her book Unbeaten Tracks her surprise upon seeing the scarce clothing of the people: I write the truth as I see it, and if my accounts conflict with those of tourists who write of the Tokaido and Nakasendo, of Lake Biwa and Hakone, it does not follow that either is inaccurate.

‎A portion of a Roman fresco depicting people doing something rather ambiguous from a villa found in the gardens of the Farnesina on a Tiber river enbankment. It is thought to have belong to a friend or relative of the Emperor Augustus, perhaps even Agrippa himself, and dates to the 1st century BC. This room, called Triniculum C, has mainly a "black color (atramentum), made from a mixture of charcoal and glue, was resistant to smoke from the fire and soot from the lamps" per the National Roman Museum - Palazzo Massimo in Rome where this is on display.

I’m going through In Vitr0 Fertilisati0n (ivf)

I’m going through In Vitr0 Fertilisati0n (ivf) to have another baby because I can’t get pregnant naturally (the normal way you do it with your husband and get pregnant).  I lost two of my fall0pian tubes to ect0pic pregnancies. The only way for me to have another baby is through ivf.  Ivf is when a woman’s egg and a man’s sp*rm is taken in the lab, and then use the sp*rm to fertilise the egg after that, put the fertilised egg turned embry0 into the woman’s uteruลŸ for it to attach and grow into a beautiful baby in your w0mb. It’s SCIENCE! It’s a MIRACLE!!

Sarmatian burial mound excavated in Russia’s

Image
Sarmatian burial mound excavated in Russia’s Southern Ural steppes has yielded a magnificent treasure which might be key in understanding more on teh Sarmates, and a little-known period of their nomadic culture that flourished on the Eurasian steppe in the 1st millennium BC. The archaeological study of this remarkable ancient tomb, or kurgan, was carried out by the expedition of the Institute of Archaeology (Russian Academy of Sciences), led by Professor Leonid T. Yablonsky. The nomadic peoples such as the Sarmates had no written language therefore scientists can only learn about their cultures and traditions through archaeological data. The kurgans which are scattered across the steppes contain many Scythian and Sarmatian relics and while the nomads successfully interacted with the Persian Achaemenid and Greek civilizations, they still preserved a unique culture of their own.

This metal mask was used during slavery for 3 main reasons:

Image
This metal mask was used during slavery for 3 main reasons: 1) To prevent the slaves from eating fruits such as apples, pineapples, oranges, cashews, bananas, plantains and sugarcanes etc while harvesting them, yet they were made to work consistently in all the plantation farms. 2) To stop the slร ves from chanting our African spiritual songs. Not only that those our spiritual and war songs affected the slave masters, it also motivated some slร ves to rรจbel and fรฌght back not minding losing their lives. 3) To stop slaves form teaching our African local dialects (languages) to their children, whereby destroyed our dialects, and forced them to learn foreign languages. Last but not the least, to starve slaves as a punishment in the slave camps. The mask prevented them from eating or drinking. Sometimes the slave masters would forced an apple into the mouths of slร ves before they wore the metal mask on them with the padlocks so that they couldn't talk.
