❤ Oldest Infant Burial Found In The Netherlands ❤


❤ Oldest Infant Burial Found In The Netherlands ❤ 

.
❤ Dutch archaeologists, have discovered a 6,000 year old Stone Age burial, of a mother cradling a baby in her arm.
It was found in Nieuwegein, and is the oldest infant burial, ever found in the Netherlands.

❤ They also discovered four other skeletons.
One of them was the skeleton of a young woman of 20-30 years of age.
At first they didnt realise there was an infant with the young woman.
It was the woman's right arm bent at an angle, that suggested there was something in her arms.

❤ Archaeologists then discovered small bone fragments, pieces of a clavicle, skull and jawbone complete with milk teeth.
The teeth were so small, they deduced these remains belonged to a newborn.
The archaeological team hope to determine through DNA analysis, that the skeletons are that of a mother and her child.

The actual execution of Amon Goeth.

Image
This is the actual execution of Amon Goeth. He was famously depicted in the movie Schindler’s List, as firing on concentration camp prisoners with a sniper rifle from his balcony. Amon Leopold Göth  (German: [ˈɡøːt] (listen); alternative spelling  Goeth ; 11 December 1908 – 13 September 1946) was an Austrian SS functionary and war criminal. He served as the commandant of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp in Płaszów in German-occupied Poland for most of the camp's existence during World War II. Göth was tried after the war by the Supreme National Tribunal of Poland at Kraków and was found guilty of personally ordering the imprisonment, torture, and extermination of individuals and groups of people. He was also convicted of homicide, the first such conviction at a war crimes trial, for "personally killing, maiming and torturing a substantial, albeit unidentified number of people." Göth was...

The Man Who Survived Two Atomic Bombs

Image
The Man Who Survived Two Atomic Bombs Some 260,000 people survived the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, but Japanese engineer Tsutomu Yamaguchi was one of the very few who endured the horror of both blasts and lived to the tell the tale  Tsutomu Yamaguchi was preparing to leave Hiroshima when the atomic bomb fell. The 29-year-old naval engineer was on a three-month-long business trip for his employer, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and August 6, 1945, was supposed to be his last day in the city. He and his colleagues had spent the summer working long hours on the design for a new oil tanker, and he was looking forward to finally returning home to his wife, Hisako, and their infant son, Katsutoshi. At around 8:15 am, Tsutomu was going to his workplace when he noticed the B-29 in the sky of Hiroshima. An object attached to a parachute dropped from the bomber, and then a flashlight was seen rushing towards the city. Tsutomu described it as a “magnesium ...

Alexander Pearce was a native of County Monaghan, Ireland, born in 1790. Alexander Pearce was a native of County Monaghan, Ireland, born in 1790.

Image
Alexander Pearce was a native of County Monaghan, Ireland, born in 1790.  He was transported to Australia in 1819 for stealing shoes and continued to prove troublesome in Van Diemen’s Land. Pearce absconded with several others in May 1822, and became a bushranger. This was short lived and Pearce was captured with one of his mates, and was duly sent to Macquarie Harbour. At Macquarie Harbour, Pearce joined a gang of convicts led by the pirates Greenhill and Travers, who intended on escaping from their prison on Sarah Island. The escape was haphazard, and the escapees decided to take their chances going through the forest. The men soon found themselves lost and starving. The decision was made to turn to cannibalism. The men either separated from the group or died one by one and were eaten by the survivors, until only Pearce and Greenhill remained. Pearce claimed that Greenhill and he merely parted ways before Pearce emerged from the bush, but it is believed Pearce got lucky and Green...

The Pins by Anna Göldi: the story of the last beheaded witch in Europe

Image
The Pins by Anna Göldi: the story of the last beheaded witch in Europe Kilkenny, Ireland, 1324: Petronilla de Meath is burned at the stake accused of being a "witch". The woman may not know, but the trail of blood that traces her innocent death will continue for another 458 years, until 1782. In that year Anna Göldi, the last witch killed in Europe, dies. The story of Anna Göldi Anna was born in Sennwald, Switzerland, in 1734, the fourth of eight children, into a wealthy family. His father was the grandson of a prestigious local judge, from whom he inherits his own seal. Due to disagreements with the mayor of the town regarding land and direct aggression, the family falls into ruin, forcing the eight brothers to find jobs in more affluent homes. Anna changes city, probably to avoid the ridicule of her fellow villagers, and goes to Maienfeld, in the Canton of Grisons, where she becomes the servant of Mayor Enderlin. She then moved to Sax to work as a baker's maid, and in 1...

After the Great War ended, around 200,000 ANZAC soldiers were repatriated home.

Image
Coming Home  After the Great War ended, around 200,000 ANZAC soldiers were repatriated home.   Our dominant image of this event is of triumphal soldiers returning on troopships, which dock at ports overflowing with cheering loved ones; of heartfelt reunions under colourful bunting and tossed streamers.  Yet Private Arthur Foxcroft’s account of returning home provides an alternative narrative.  Enlisting in 1915, Arthur meticulously recorded his war experience in his diary.  Foxcroft described his splendid Sydney send off, the wonderment of visiting ancient Egypt, and the joy of marching through the French countryside in full bloom.  His diary entries darkened in mid-1916, when he recorded the ‘awful slaughter’ on the Somme, where he sufferred a serious wound.    In 1917, Foxcroft wrote soberly of being seriously wounded a second time, which left him with ‘drop foot’.  His mother, Amelia, pleaded with authorities for his return so he coul...

The long march

Image
The long march On 19 July 1944, Adolf Hitler issued an order from his headquarters, Wolfsschanze, 100 miles west of Stalag Luft VI, "concerning preparations for the defense of the Reich". It put the German civilian population on a total war footing and issued instructions for preparations for evacuations of 'foreign labour’ (slave labour) and civilians away from the advancing Soviet Army in the east.  called for "preparations for moving prisoners of war to the rear". This prolonged the war for hundreds of thousands of Allied personnel, as well as causing them severe hardship, starvation, injuries and/or death. In the later stages of the war there were great concerns among POWs over the motives for moving them westward. Many different and conflicting rumours abounded, including suggestions that: They were being moved towards concentration camps to be killed, in revenge for Allied commanders' deliberate targeting of civilians, in cities such as Dresden. These ...

The Unsolved Mystery Behind The Death Of Buffalo Jim Barrier, The ‘Most Colorful Character’ In Las Vegas

Image
The Unsolved Mystery Behind The Death Of Buffalo Jim Barrier, The ‘Most Colorful Character’ In Las Vegas Though James "Buffalo Jim" Barrier's 2008 death was declared accidental and likely related to cocaine use, his family is convinced that he was murdered by his enemies. To many who knew him, “Buffalo Jim” Barrier seemed invincible. Broad-shouldered with wild, black hair, Barrier was a Las Vegas legend who’d made a name for himself as an auto repairman, a wrestling promoter, and a friend to the variety of characters who make Vegas the unique place it is. When he was found dead in April 2008, much of the city was devastated. But though a coroner found that the 55-year-old had died from cardiomyopathy — inflammation of the heart — after supposedly using cocaine, Barrier’s four daughters are adamant that their father was murdered. They point to a number of eerie details surrounding his case, including his missing ID and cash, the shifting testimony of the woman he spent...

The Alliances in the Genesis of World War I (end): The Alliances of Powers on the Eve of War

Image
The Alliances in the Genesis of World War I (end): The Alliances of Powers on the Eve of War By 1912, both the Triple Alliance and the Triple Understanding had become established characteristics of international relations.. Examining the coherence of both systems of alliance was a common issue in memorandum and official correspondence, but also in letters and journals from experts and decision-makers. Whenever a crisis in international relations arises, the current situation of alliances and the possible impacts on their future would be considered. Austria-Hungary's stance on the First Moroccan Crisis and its effect on its ally Germany; Russia's setback in 1909 following the British and French withdrawal signals; and Germany's disapproval of the Monarchy of Habsburg's bet on the crisis of the European Union the winter of 1912-1913 were the most significant examples of help alliances contributed to reducing the crisis in the last decade before 1914. The alliance between ...

11-Year-Old Pregnant Florida Girl Forced To Marry Her Rapist

Image
11-Year-Old Pregnant Florida Girl Forced To Marry Her Rapist Sherry Johnson's family tried to protect the members of their church congregation that raped her by forcing her into marriage. At least one child under the age of 16 gets married in Florida every few days. That’s because what many would call underage marriage is still legal in every state in America — typically with the consent of parents or a judge. Twenty-seven states have no minimum age whatsoever. One woman, who was forced to marry her own rapist at the age of 11, is fighting to change that. Sherry Johnson became pregnant and gave birth when she was just ten years old — after both a minister and a 20-year-old member of her Florida church raped her. Her family — along with church leaders — decided that instead of pursuing criminal charges, it would be easier for the elementary school student to just get married. “My mom asked me if I wanted to get married, and I said, ‘I don’t know, what is marriage, how do I act like ...

THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN-July 10th 1940, just 83 Years ago-

THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN-July 10th 1940, just 83 Years ago- On This Day in the Battle of Britain:JULY 10th 1940- The heavy clouds of the dawn along with the driving rain made most of the pilots turn over and take advantage of a 'lie-in'. In these conditions, the Germans made the most of the cloud cover and made photographic reconnaissance flights over possible and probable targets, but the Dornier 17s that usually made these flights often suffered heavy losses. But being as no 'scramble' calls were made during the early hours of this day by Fighter Command it was believed that the German Luftwaffe enjoyed the freedom of the skies although most kept out over the sea but keeping the distant English coastline in sight. 0730hrs (7.30am): 66 Squadron (Spitfires, Coltishall) got a 'scramble' call and one section took off into the driving rain after the Chain Home radar station at West Beckham had picked up a blip on the radar.  (RAF aircraft carried a sensor unit attache...
