Doctor explains why you should never kiss a deceased person . Dr Viktor Ivanovik, who boasts nearly 300,000 TikTok followers, about the health risks of kissing deceased loved ones during farewells. In the video, Ivanovik warns viewers, saying: “Never kiss the deceased!” Dick Van Dyke Evolution He explains that approximately nine hours after death, the body begins to decompose, releasing harmful bacteria. Kissing the deceased, according to Ivanovik, could lead to a loss of smell due to exposure to these bacteria….amajjoud His video has sparked a wave of reactions online. Many viewers had not previously considered the potential risks of bacterial exposure. Others, however, shared personal experiences. One viewer emotionally stated: “I kissed my father and would do it a million times over! I can lose taste and smell, he is my father!” Dr. Ivanovik’s message shows that there’s a delicate balance between cultural traditions and health concerns. Many people engage in such rituals as ...

Don't touch him they want you you bought him anyway…

Don't touch him they want you you bought him anyway… AND THAT NIGHT YOU LEARNED WHY MEN WOULD RATHER BURN THEIR SILVER THAN KEEP HIM CLOSE. The heat in Veracruz doesn’t sit on your skin, it presses, like a lid on a boiling pot, daring you to breathe. In July of 1842, the market square looks sun-bleached and merciless, a bright stage where people pretend not to hear the human sounds behind commerce. You pull your black mantilla tighter, not because it cools you, but because it keeps your face composed. Widowhood is supposed to make you soft and quiet, but debt makes you sharp and awake. The scent in the air is sweat, horses, overripe fruit, and something worse, something that shouldn’t exist in daylight. Chains clink in a rhythm that tries to become normal if you let it. You don’t let it, not today, not while your name is hanging by a thread. Your hacienda needs hands for the coffee harvest, and every day you wait, your land slips further into the mouth of other men. They told yo...

On the afternoon of June 25, 1876, George Armstrong Custer led five companies of the Seventh Cavalry down

Image
On the afternoon of June 25, 1876, George Armstrong Custer led five companies of the Seventh Cavalry down toward the Lakota and Cheyenne village on the Little Bighorn—the Greasy Grass—and within the hour none of them were left to tell what had happened. The news reached the eastern cities in the first week of July, while the country was still in the middle of its centennial celebrations, and for the rest of the summer the question of how it had gone so wrong crowded nearly everything else off the front pages. There was no wire service feeding the public a steady drip of dispatches, no class of professional commentators standing ready to explain the plains to readers who had never seen them. An editor who wanted a credible opinion needed a man who had actually ridden that country. A man who had fought alongside Indian scouts and against hostile ones, and who knew cavalry from the saddle. Such men were scarce east of the Mississippi in July of 1876. Two of them happened to be in Philadel...

In 1850, German architect Carl Weber commissioned a portrait alongside his wife, Emily, hours after her passing.

In 1850, German architect Carl Weber commissioned a portrait alongside his wife, Emily, hours after her passing. While contemporary viewers may find the image disconcerting, post-mortem photography was a deeply significant mourning practice in the nineteenth century. Because photographic technology was still nascent, expensive, and largely inaccessible to the public, a portrait captured immediately following a demise often constituted a family's sole visual record of their deceased relative.Emily was meticulously posed upright—likely utilizing concealed structural braces—and dressed formally to ensure a dignified presentation. Beside her, Weber maintains a solemn and restrained demeanor, reflecting Victorian societal norms. Nineteenth-century culture placed immense value on structured bereavement rituals, publicizing grief through specialized attire, memorial artifacts, and photography. Rather than being perceived as macabre, these images served as treasured keepsakes that facilit...

Researchers have recently reevaluated the remains of the ‘Lapedo Child’

Image
Researchers have recently reevaluated the remains of the ‘Lapedo Child’ and now believe that their remains date to 28,000 years ago (25,830-26,600 B.C.E.). The date change also leads to new interesting developments regarding ritual burial. The child which was discovered in the Lagar Velho rock-shelter in the Lapedo Valley of central Portugal, showed physical characteristics of Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapien features. The Lapedo Child who was 4-5 years old, possessed a prominent chin as seen in modern humans and shirt/stocky legs seen in Neandertals. Previous dating methods had placed the remains using radiocarbon-dating from 20,000-26,000 years ago (using nearby animal bones) which is more recent than the new date. The new dating method called compound-specific radiocarbon analysis (CSRA) allowed researchers to remove “contamination from archaeological bones” which impacts dating. Besides for the remains of the child itself, researchers also looked at rabbit bones that were buri...

"Thomas Kozak was 18 years old on December 6, 1907, when the Monongah Mine exploded at 10:28 AM. Thomas had been married for one year and his son was 6 months old. He kept the baby’s photo in his breast pocket behind a piece of oilcloth to keep the coal dust off. The explosion killed 362 men that day, the worst mine disaster in American history. Thomas was in a side tunnel with 15 other men when the roof dropped. The main air shaft was blocked. The timber holding up what was left of the ceiling was cracked and groaning. The foreman, Mr. Walter Finch, age 67, yelled, “If that beam goes, the air pocket goes and we all suffocate!” Thomas looked at the beam, then at the photo of his son. He was 18. He was married. He was a father. He got under that beam. He put his back against it and his feet against the floor and he held. He told the men, “Dig.” For six hours Thomas held 900 pounds of broken timber and rock while the other 15 men used picks and their hands to dig through the collaps...

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was never meant to be a distant figure on D-Day.

Image
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was never meant to be a distant figure on D-Day. A brigadier general and assistant commander of the 4th Infantry Division, he refused to stay behind. At 56—older than most men in the invasion—and burdened by severe arthritis and a weakened heart, his superiors urged him not to go. He ignored them. Roosevelt insisted on landing with the first wave at Utah Beach on June 6, 1944. He believed a leader’s place was not in safety, but beside his men—especially at the moment it mattered most. It was a principle his father had lived by, and one he felt bound to uphold. Cane in hand, he stepped onto the landing craft. When they hit the shore, nothing went as planned. The troops had landed nearly a mile south of their intended position. Units were scattered. Confusion spread under enemy fire. It could have unraveled quickly. Roosevelt didn’t panic. He took one look at the situation and made a decision that would define the day. “We’ll start the war from right here.” With th...
