37. Wife selling.


During medieval times, women were completely subordinated to their husbands. After marriage, the husband and wife became one legal entity, a legal status known as coverture. During this time in history, married women could not own property in their own right, and were, indeed, themselves the property of their husbands. It is unclear when the ritualized custom of selling a wife by public auction first began, but written records indicate it was some time towards the end of the 17th century. In most reports, the sale was announced in advance, perhaps by advertisement in a local newspaper. It usually took the form of an auction, often at a local market, to which the wife would be led by a halter (usually a rope) looped around her neck, arm or waist. The woman was then auctioned off to the highest bidder and would join her new husband after the sale was complete. Wife selling was a regular occurrence during the 18th and 19th centuries, and it acted as a way for a man to end an unsatisfactory marriage. In most cases, a public divorce was not an optionfor common people. In 1690, a law was enforced that required a couple to submit an application to parliament for a divorce certificate. This was an expensive and time consuming process. The custom of wife selling had no basis in English law and often resulted in prosecution, particularly from the mid-19th century onwards. However, the attitude of the authorities was passive. It should be noted that some 19th century wives objected to their sale, but records of 18th century women resisting are non-existent. In some cases, the wife arranged for her own sale, and even provided the money to buy her way out of the marriage. Wife selling persisted in some form until the early 20th century. In 1913, a woman claimed in a Leeds police court that she had been sold to one of her husband’s workmates for £1. This is one of the last reported cases of a wife sale in England. Today, you can visit a number of websites and get an online divorce.

Lezz, this was exactly what I was talking about. They came here, carted us off like animals, molested and de_humanized us, then they have the effrontery to come here and tell us killing twins is barbaric, when they were fully aware, we didn't know any better.

And one would think these peeps who profited from slavery were actually more educated and enlightened than our fore fathers.

You forgot the fact that our fellow Africans played important roles in ensuring the success of the slave trade.

Explorers:
31. Unbelievable: Two collided bullets from the battle of Gallipoli.

These two bullets were found after the Battle of Gallipoli which started in 1915 and ended in 1916 during WWI.

Thats a very clean strike(no angular distortion) I have a feeling that one of the bullet was stationary(probably on the ground or stuck on the wall) when the other stray bullet hit it. They couldn't have been both in motion

joseph1832:

Yes. This is not to absolve the Europeans from the cruelty they exhibited. My point is Africans themselves helped to kidnap, capture their fellow people who were delivered to the Whites. Most Africans even sold their fellow kinsmen into slavery for Items such as gin, mirrors etc.

Explorers:
18. This sudden lack of cats led to the spread of disease because infected rats ran free. The most devastating of these diseases,the Bubonic Plague, killed 100 million people.(13th Century).

WoW! Never knew the Black Death was caused by infected rats.

Explorers:
20. Animals were put on trial in medieval times and routinely sentenced to death.

So, does that also mean africans were responsible for the atrocities of the white man during the era of segregation? Where the KKK made a complete ridicule of the black man?

41. A Pharaoh never let his hair be seen he would always wear a crown or a headdress called a nemes.

42. Both Egyptian men and women wore makeup, eyepaint was usually green (made from copper) or black (made from lead). The Egyptians believed that the makeup had healing power. Originally the makeup was used as a protection from the sun rather than for adornment.

43. When a body was mummified, its brain was removed through one of its nostrils and its intestines were also removed and placed in jars called canopic jars. Each organ was placed in its own jar. The only internal organ that was not removed was the heart, because Egyptians considered it to be the seat of the soul.

47. The oldest human brain ever to be discovered, was probably preserved for over 2,000 years thanks to mud, archaeologists claim. The intact organ (pictured) was discovered inside a decapitated skull in York seven years ago and since then experts have conducted tests to explain how the tissue could survive.
