See the face of a Roman slave crucified in ancient Britain 1,700 years ago

Archaeologists in 2017 unearthed a significant historical find in Cambridgeshire, England – the remains of a Roman slave who met a brutal end through crucifixion during the third or fourth century CE.





This extraordinary discovery has led to a comprehensive digital facial approximation. The man, believed to be between 25 and 35 years old at the time of his death, was found buried in a cemetery alongside more than 40 others who displayed signs of rigorous manual labor. The skeleton is described as “battered” and unique due to the preservation of a nail in his heel.

Imagine a network of trails carved into the very spine of mountains

Imagine a network of trails carved into the very spine of mountains , traversed by a tireless flow of human porters bearing precious cargo on their backs. This was the reality of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, a vital artery of trade that snaked through the rugged landscapes of southwestern China, connecting the tea-rich regions of Sichuan with Tibet for centuries. A photograph from 1908 captures a poignant moment along this arduous route in Sichuan Sheng: porters, their bodies bent under the weight of tightly compressed tea packages, their faces etched with determination, embarking on a journey that was as much a lifeline as it was a testament to human endurance. The Tea-Horse Road was more than just a trade route; it was a conduit of culture, a pathway for the exchange of not only tea and horses (the primary commodities traded) but also religion, customs, and ideas between the Han Chinese and the Tibetan people. The porters, often walking for weeks or even months, faced treacherous terr...

Veteran John Roberts has been presented with a plaque at The D-Day Story museum as the 80th  anniversary of the assault approaches. The wall commemorates those who took part in the key WW2 attacks. Mr Roberts, who reached the rank of Royal Navy rear admiral, served on board HMS Serapis. His convoy arrived at Sword Beach at 7.30am on D-Day and continued to fire on German positions along the coast for 11 days. Now 99 years-old and from Kent, John said: “I will never forget that day, and I’m proud to know the British people won’t forget either.” We thank you for your service John.  Source: Mirror

The Masai PROPHECY

The Masai PROPHECY "The day the white one arrives, Aethiopia shall die" -(A Masai prophecy that had originated from  the time when the sea that was about the size of France, at the location around where we have the Sahara today, dried up eventually, in about 3100 BCE).  This was a time of hunger and mass migration of the people of Aethiopia. Aethiopia at this time meant present-day Sudan to the cape in the Southern parts of Africa and to the east and west. The present day polity of Ethiopia in east Africa derived its name from this ancient name for Africa(Afur'i ka) in 1929. It most be noted too that, around this time, Europe had not entered into history. The land existed but there were no settlements yet and no nations nor the barbarian tribal groups like the Magyar or the Saxons and Goths.   According to Chancellor Williams in 'The destruction of black civilization', "this was a time when a bony looking mother will solemnly, carry her frail child, who was d...

Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. Russ Meyer Film. 1965

Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. Russ Meyer Film. 1965 One of my favorite stories about Russ Meyer involves one of his critics, who at the time was the head of CITIZENS  FOR DECENT LITERATURE, and who said that more than anyone else of his time, Russ Meyer had been the cause of the decay of the moral values of America. Russ told me that he wanted that carved on his tombstone and underneath he wanted carved “I was glad to do it.” There’s an interesting footnote to that story. The man who said that was Charles Keating who is now serving time in a federal prison for having plundered millions of dollars from savings and loans—part of it used to pay for plastic surgery to augment the bosoms of secretaries. I wrote a letter to The Wall Street Journal after seeing his movie The Immoral Mr. Tease and many of his other films. The article was written by the perfectly named Steven Lovely, and my letter basically seconded the notion that Russ was not simply a skin flick producer, but was in fact, a ...

Naked woman opens fire while running down 'one of busiest bridges' during rush hour A naked woman got out of her car during rush hour and started opening fire at other vehicles on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, which is one of the US's busiest bridges A naked woman got out of her car and started opening fire on one of the US 's busiest bridges during rush hour. The bizarre scene took place on Tuesday (July 27) on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge. Images of the incident show the woman holding and pointing a gun while standing in the middle of the highway with no clothes on. Police said they received reports from one driver who said that another motorist had brandished the weapon at them on the I-80 span, which crosses the San Francisco Bay, around 4:40 pm. The woman then stopped in the middle of her lane, got out of her car with a knife and began yelling at other drivers. She eventually returned to her car and continued driving to Oakland, but stopped again at...
