Iran in 1970's This photograph is of a woman cutting her birthday cake in Tehran, Iran 1973. This seemingly insignificant photograph demonstrates just how different Iran was in the 1970s. Now, wearing the hijab in compulsory and cutting a birthday cake in shorts like this woman would be illegal and would result in punishment. In fact, if this woman was alive today, she would likely be arrested in put in prison for daring to take a photograph like this. It just goes to show how much things have changed in Iranian culture. 4 Likes

Discovering Antinous The Statue of Antinous was discovered in Delphi during an excavation in 1894. The ancient statue is a young Greek beauty from Bithynia. He became the rumored lover of the Roman emperor Hadrian and died in Nile under suspicious circumstances. Curiously, the statue was discovered standing upright on its pedestal alongside the holy Temple. It was found in relatively good condition and is known to be one of the most beautiful and impressive cult statues. It is likely to have been built following Antinous' death in 130 A.D. 2 Likes

Empire State 1941 Before New York City was a city of skyscrapers, the average building was no more than a few stories high. When the Empire State Building was erected, it consequently looked unbelievably huge in comparison to the rest of the city. It's no wonder that people came to the city just to see the enormous iconic landmark. 2 Likes

Nun and Fashionista What is lovely about this picture is the nun's expression. Despite their white gowns and traditional, modest dress, they are looking upon the fashionista with an admiring smile rather than judgment. The woman on the right is a stark contrast to the nuns in her short dress, sunglasses and stylish shoes and handbag. She does not seemed phased by the presence of the nuns but the contrast makes for a fantastic image. 4 Likes

Nicola Tesla in his lab 1890 Tesla was an electrical and mechanical engineer who is best known for his contributions to the modern electricity supply system. Tesla made dozens of scientific breakthroughs and was the former employee of Thomas Edison. Edison was his chief rival and rumor has it that it was actually Tesla who invented the lightbulb but Edison took the credit. In this picture, Tesla seems unphased by the electric sparks shooting out from his lab and looks quite relaxed on a fold-out seat NB . AC / DC 4 Likes

First Selfie This particular selfie is special because it was not taken in 2019 Starbucks but was taken in the mirror in 1938. To make the photo even more special, it has been taken by the legendary Frank Sinatra when he was just 17 years old. We can't see what kind of camera he is holding but we're pretty certain it's no iPhone 6… 2 Likes

SoBright101: You must be a clown. How can you enter another person's thread and start dictating how he should direct his efforts. What happened to your fingers. You may as well start your own threads and educate us. The nerve of you guys. @ op I prefer these lighter threads to your darker ones. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Your first statement says a lot about you. I repeat, it's time to stop feeding Africans foreign history, it's time to retrace our history and build our future on our foundation if we have to progress like westerners. armadeo: |

SoBright101: Says what? As I said you have got some nerve imposing your opinion and expecting me to swallow it. I consider people in that category to be clowns. Now at the bolded, as I said. You can lead the way. Stop shouting on the sidelines and open your own educative threads on African and Nigerian history. We will read and learn. P.s despite all your talk, you dont have a single thread educating us on african history. Walk the talk. 2 Likes |

Some people really make SYCOPHANCY a full time job. When this youngman gets old, will he be happy or regret looking back at his deeds today? The irony is that the pay masters of these types of persons do not have any iota of respect or trust for them. In the security world, they are killed off after their dirty sycophancy job because they are cretins not fit to be re used or too dangerous to pass on to another creepy person. |

I don't know what you mean by "imposing opinion" but i've been educating people about African history, culture and traditions. May be i will start doing that on nairaland soon. Thanks for the advice. armadeo: |
