 By executing chinampas, or drifting nurseries,


the Aztecs figured out how to sustain a populace of 200,000 in a brutal and damp climate. This historic horticultural method flourished in unfriendly circumstances as well as featured the Aztecs' ever-evolving approach. 


Considering current worldwide worries about food security and natural supportability, could returning to antiquated practices, for example, chinampas make ready for imaginative and maintainable cultivating techniques in present day cultures?

๐Ÿ˜ข SLAVE BREEDING ๐Ÿ˜ข

๐Ÿ˜ข SLAVE  BREEDING ๐Ÿ˜ข Slave breeding was one of the most brutal and dehumanizing practices during the era of slavery, yet it remains one of the least talked about. After the trans-Atlantic slave trade was banned in 1808, enslavers in America began relying heavily on forced reproduction to increase their labor force. Enslaved men and women were paired against their will, treated like property, and valued only for their physical strength and ability to produce more enslaved children. Strong and healthy men were often targeted and forced into roles where their bodies were used purely for breeding. They had no choice, no freedom, and no control over their personal lives. Enslaved women suffered deeply as well, enduring repeated pregnancies, emotional trauma, and the constant fear of losing their children. Many mothers watched helplessly as their babies—and even older children—were taken away to be sold for profit, with no consideration for the bonds of family or humanity. This cruel sy...

‎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.

The African Slave Jabari Mansa: The Forbidden Story America Tried to Erase Forever

The African Slave Jabari Mansa: The Forbidden Story America Tried to Erase Forever In the summer of 2019, demolition crews in Bowford County, South Carolina tore down the remains of an antebellum plantation house whose walls had held nearly two centuries of secrets. Behind one rotted beam, wrapped in layers of brittle oilcloth, workers found a folded letter written in 1831 by a plantation overseer named Edmund Hail. The handwriting was faint but unmistakably legible, the contents deeply unsettling. “There is a negro here,” Hail wrote, “who knows things he should not know.” He described a man who “speaks of events before they happen,” a man “with eyes that see through time itself,” a man Hail admitted he feared more than “any living thing.” The enslaved man was listed in plantation ledgers under the generic name “Jim.” But cross-referenced records now identify him as Jabari Mansa, a Wolof man stolen from West Africa in 1807. What Hail hid in that wall was not a confession of superstitio...
