A team of rope-fixing climbers reached the summit of Mount Everest on Wednesday morning, laying fixed ropes for climbers attempting to scale the world’s highest peak, officials said. everestchronicle.com/everest-rope-f…

@JohnWil45304495 @archeohistories he didn't die on a mountain, his place crashed into a mountain. 2 different things

@archeohistories His younger brother also tragically died on a mountain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafford_…

On May 1, 1999, American mountaineer Conrad Anker was ascending the northern slopes of Mount Everest when he noticed what appeared to be a large, pale rock ahead of him. As he approached, the shape became unmistakable—it was not stone, but the exposed body of George Mallory, the legendary climber who had disappeared on Everest more than 75 years earlier. Mallory had vanished during his 1924 expedition, fueling decades of speculation about whether he and his climbing partner might have reached the summit before their deaths. The discovery of his body offered long-awaited clues, though not definitive answers. Despite the passage of time, Everest’s extreme cold had preserved much of Mallory’s remains. His clothing was largely deteriorated, but his body told a grim story. Injuries revealed that he had suffered a broken leg and arm, suggesting a catastrophic fall. An ice axe found higher up the slope hinted that the accident may have occurred during a descent. What makes the discovery especially haunting is the evidence of his final moments. Mallory appeared to have crossed his uninjured leg over the broken one—perhaps an instinctive attempt to manage the pain. Alone, severely injured, and stranded high on the mountain, he likely understood that rescue was impossible. His body, frozen in place for decades, became both a historical discovery and a stark reminder of the risks faced by those who push toward the highest places on Earth. © Reddit #archaeohistories

@TheRealClementM I wonder what could have happened with the DA between that statement and the one made today

REMEMBER THIS!!!!!!!! The DA statement today seems to contradict this statement from 2024.

David Attenborough is now officially 100 years old.

@Rrichard1966 @VoicesofWW2 Yes

@VoicesofWW2 Is this been made into a movie?

German Major Josef Gangl taken by an American photographer on May 4, 1945. The following day, he was killed while shielding former French Prime Minister Paul Reynaud, fighting alongside American soldiers and French prisoners against SS forces. On May 5, 1945, less than a week after Adolf Hitler’s suicide and just three days before Germany’s unconditional surrender, one of the strangest battles of World War II took place at Castle Itter. The castle had been converted into a high-security SS prison for prominent French prisoners, including former prime ministers Édouard Daladier and Paul Reynaud, senior military leaders, Charles de Gaulle’s sister, and tennis champion Jean Borotra. As Germany collapsed, the guards fled, but the surrounding Austrian countryside was filled with groups of roaming SS and soldiers looting and killing civilians. Fearing for their lives, the prisoners sent out messengers for help. One reached the nearby town of Wörgl and connected with the Austrian resistance, who introduced him to Major Josef Gangl. A decorated soldier, ordered to fight to the last man, Gangl turned against the Nazi cause, and he and his men took up arms to protect civilians. When he heard about the prisoners, he agreed to help. On May 4, Gangl and his men linked up with U.S. forces from the 23rd Tank Battalion. Lieutenant John C. Lee Jr. didn’t need much convincing. With a small force, just a handful of soldiers and a single tank, they headed to the castle, arriving that evening. Hours later, a far larger SS force attacked. What followed was an almost implausible stand: American soldiers, Wehrmacht troops, Austrian resistance fighters, and the French prisoners fighting side by side. Despite Lee's order to stay out of it, the prisoners grabbed weapons and joined the defense. During the battle, Gangl was killed while pulling Reynaud to safety, the only defender to die. The group held out through the night, but by morning, they were low on ammunition. In a desperate move, Borotra volunteered to vault the castle walls and seek reinforcements. He made it. Just as the SS prepared to bring anti-tank guns to bear on the castle, American reinforcements arrived, routing the attackers and capturing around 100 SS troops. One of the two instances in the war where U.S. and German soldiers fought side by side, and one of the last battles in the European theater.

@MathewCohenSA @steenekampcarl he wants to completely make the Iranian civilization extinct, you fucking nazi

@steenekampcarl This is a just and necessary war.

Hey @USEmbassySA. I'd love to know your thoughts on this. While politicians are entitled to disagree, calling the US president "reprehensible" when South Africa should be working to repair its US relations seems incredibly damaging.

@Scarlet_theRed @BBCWorld he was literally a minister in the last Apartheid government, you fucking moron

GOOD GOD BBC! Your propafuckingganda is out of control. "Apartheid-era". WTF is wrong with you? Any white person born before 19fucking94 was "apartheid-era". The one time I listened to your shit news, you also said "For the first time since sporting isolation during apartheid"... MOVE THE FUCK ON and stop sowing propaganda and hate seeds.
