Unknown Historical Figures


I really love history so much so that I actually studied it at the University. I find history fascinating with all the stories, key figures and so many things to learn from it. Speaking of key figures, we have so many that have changed the course of history that their story is not new to anybody but there are some that actually made an impact on the lives of their people. So, let’s meet...

The Fighting Women of Dahomey

The Dahomey Amazons, or Mino, were a Fon (a major West African ethnic and linguistic group in the country of Benin, and southwest Nigeria) all-female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey (now Benin), which lasted until the end of the 19th century. They were so named by Western observers and historians due to their similarity to the semi-mythical Amazons of ancient Anatolia and the Black Sea.

The Mino were recruited from among the ahosi (“king’s wives”), of which there were often hundreds. They trained with intense physical exercise. Discipline was emphasized. In the latter period, they were armed with Winchester rifles, clubs and knives. Units were under female command. Captives who fell into the hands of the Amazons were often decapitated. The French army lost several battles to them due to the female warriors’ skill in battle that was “the equal of every contemporary body of male elite soldiers from among the colonial powers”.

The last surviving Amazon of Dahomey died in 1979.

Bro, ur niche is outstanding, but one thing u re missing out is proper design that would be catchy, if u cant do it urself, hire a freelancer it might cost as low as 5k to 10k to give u a better & SEO optimized design, this would help you retain dedicated readers not visitors that wouldn't come back.

the new masquerade

Hayley Okines, the courageous 17-year-old from England with a rare and fatal condition that prematurely aged her body nearly eight times faster than normal, passed away Thursday night. Her mother, Kerry, posted the announcement on Facebook: “My baby girl has gone somewhere better. She took her last breath in my arms at 9.39pm x.”

Hayley, who penned the autobiography Old Before My Time at the age of 14 and was known as Britain’s 100-year-old teenager (her body had aged to 104 at the time of her death), suffered from Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome, also known as HGPS or Progeria.

According to the Progeria Research Foundation, this disease is caused by a mutation in the gene called LMNA (pronounced, lamin - a). Children with progeria begin to display signs of this condition, which include growth failure, loss of body fat and hair, wrinkled skin and stiff joints at around 18-24 months and eventually die of heart disease (atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries).

While the average life span of children with this incurable condition is 14 (Hayley was told she wouldn’t make it past her 13th birthday and she lost her best friend to progeria at the age of 11), she surpassed the odds after taking part in a pioneer drug treatment in the United States. She also rose to international celebrity status after appearing in the British TV series “Extraordinary People,” which gave her and her family the opportunity to raised awareness about this disease.

During her short but productive life, Hayley met Prince Charles, Kylie Minogue and Justin Bieber, as well as starred in other TV documentaries, spoke at numerous events and traveled around the world. “We decided that if she wasn’t going to live long, at least we would make her life special and pack it with wonderful memories,” her mother told the UK’s The Sunday People in 2013.

Hayley inspired others with her optimism, as well as her sheer candidness. “Sometimes people ask me if I could have three wishes would I wish I didn’t have progeria,” she wrote in her book. “And I say no. It would be good to not have it, and it would be fun to go out and not get stared at and not have loads of people ask questions. I would rather have progeria than not have it, though. Don’t ask me why, but I wouldn’t change it.”
