The Story of the World in Pictures, 1934 View Thread Reply Hide Nell Mivingdock - Sat, 10 May 2014 13:18:16 EST XyVGo1SW No.52472 File: 1399742296962.jpg -(724456B / 707.48KB, 1536x2048) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. Hello /his/. When I was a teenager my grandfather gave me one of his books, 'The Story of the World in Pictures', published in 1934. It's full of photographs and covers the many natural wonders and cultures of the world, while also illustrating the technological progress and arts of the time. With the intent of preserving it I photographed every single page a few years ago (I don't own a scanner, I'm afraid). I stumbled upon the pictures recently and thought you guys might be interested in them, all 303 of them.It's an interesting little piece of history - images of native cultures and natural wonders long since lost, and some of that optimism that pervaded in the interwar period, that after the Great War we could grasp science and our natural abilities to build a better tomorrow for all mankind - anything was truly possible. And then 5 years later we began a war that killed 60 million people and culminated in the nuclear destruction of multiple cities...so it goes.I'm currently uploading them into 3 RARs on Mediafire, and will also post a few of them here. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls - the Story of the World in Pictures. 109 posts and 91 images omitted.

Once upon a time, there were two cities. One city had an intelligent, wise man that helped people, healed people, and ordered society nicely. Another city had an intelligent, wise man, that killed his enemies, and surrounded himself with thugs that got a share of the dead people's resources, and everyone had to work for that man.Then the peaceful man's city got wiped out by the violent man's city.

Bears were captured and raised in a corral for several years by local women, treating the bear like a child.[34] The bear was considered a sacred earthly manifestation of Nivkh ancestors and the gods in bear form (see Bear worship). During the Festival, the bear would be dressed in a specially made ceremonial costume. It would be offered a banquet to take back to the realm of gods to show benevolence upon the clans.[29] After the banquet, the bear would be sacrificed and eaten in an elaborate religious ceremony. Fucking hell, that's a mental ceremony. To think that while all these wild things were going on all over the world, these people were just living the tribal/nomadic lifestyle virtually unchanged for hundreds of years.

I'm kind of interested in the black death, I guess that's a popular enough topic.Thing is I always hear brief mentions of how it started in Arab nations and moved west as it moved east, and also hit Persia and India (so I guess Afghanistan too?)And... you never hear about that. There's so much literature and media about the black death in Europe and it's effects on killing SO MANY people but I've found nothing in terms of what it did to the Muslim world.Then I was thinking, maybe due to genetic differences (Like how Native Americans were destroyed by smallpox but Europeans carried it without symptoms) ... maybe those middle eastern folks weren't as susceptible and didn't die in such huge numbers, and that's why no one makes a big deal about it?Or maybe there's just not much info available in English because Eurocentrism.I have done some searches on the topic and come up with essentially nothing.Does ANYONE know anything about this, can give me an overview or recommend some books/articles/documentaries/whatever. 5 posts and 2 images omitted.
