Woman with the smallest waist in the world, 1959


British woman Ethel Granger decided to change her appearance to please her husband, William. Ethel Granger had to wear a bra all day, did not take off at night, as well as wear high-heeled shoes and piercings at the nose, where Ethel's husband had " pierced " with silver needles. Over time, the natural waistline of women decreased from 62cm to 33cm , this helped Ethel Granger enroll in Guinness Record - the smallest waistline.

The first picture has a human appearance


The first picture has a human appearance, in 1838

Compared to other important inventions of mankind, photography was formed quite early, from the early nineteenth century. The picture was taken in the daguerrotype style in 1838 ( daguerrotype - an ancient photograph, which takes a lot of time to expose, to capture the image on the surface of the foil ) as the first photo to have human appearance .

Boulevard du Temple ( Boulevard du Temple ), a photo taken by the French inventor named Louis Daguerre (his name was later used to set the 'daguerrotype' permission ) is a picture First in the history of photography has the appearance of people.

In the picture, we can see a large boulevard in the French capital of Paris. But because this photography was rudimentary at the time, Louis Daguerre - the father of photography, took more than 10 minutes of exposure to complete the photo, so the cars all went without it. Leave a trace in the picture.

Only two men who appeared in the lower left corner were standing still during that time, so they were recorded. The two men did not know that they had ' made history ' by accident - becoming the first people to appear on photos.


A soldier on the frontline tries to save a kitten

A soldier on the frontline tries to save a kitten – 1952

Marine Sergeant Frank Praytor leans against sandbags in a foxhole. The soldier softly holds a kitten he has named “Miss Hap.” The kitten gets that name because Praytor says she was born at the wrong place at the wrong time. The kitten was left an orphan after another soldier killed its mother for making too much noise. “Miss Hap” had a sister but another soldier who adopted it, rolled over in his sleep and killed it by accident.  Praytor’s kitten survived and eventually found its way home to the US with another soldier after Praytor was shipped out.

This fisherman catches a monster Black Sea Bass


Before commercial fishing became overtaken by huge fleets and long-line fisherman, people could still catch fish that defied imagination.  Black Sea Bass are masters of hiding on the bottom of the sea in caves and crevices and are believed to live for over a hundred years if given the the opportunity. In the early 1900’s, people started moving to the California coast and discovered fish so enormous that some of the records from that time still stand to this day. This image of Edward Llewellen and his world record black sea bass is astounding. Weighing in at 425 lbs, this fish caught off of Catalina Island on August 26th, 1903 shook the fishing world.

The still untouched Tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922, or as the world knows him… King Tut


As a kid I remember hearing about King Tut’s tomb. I think my dad had a Time/Life book collection and one of them was about Egypt and all the amazing things like the pyramids, the Sphinx and King Tut.  This photo from the 1922 discovery was jaw-dropping. After hundreds of years of rumors and stories, Howard Carter and George Herbert lead a team into the “Valley of Kings” to find the long forgotten tomb. While the tomb had been robbed of many of its riches, presumably just months after Tutankhamun’s burial, the tomb was resealed and lost to all knowledge. In fact, a migrant camp that later became a settlement was built directly over the entrance and nobody knew about it until the day in 1922 when the above picture was taken. Since that time, the contents of the find have made their way around the world in displays everywhere.

A Haunting or a hoax?


In this creepy image we see a little girl standing by the grave of her dead sibling. Her sister died a few months before and during the visit, her father took this photo of his daughter standing by the edge of a lake. Only later when he got the photo back did he see the reflection in the water of two girls, not one.
