On this map @worldinmaps shows us which European nations aren't participating in the Eurovision song contest and why. Hungary made me laugh - that's part of the beauty of the contest!

@simongerman600 @WorldInMaps Even if we ignore the fact that Israel should be banned for genocide, I don‘t understand why they can participate at all, since they‘re not in Europe. I understand why they‘re in UEFA, because most Arab states refuse to play them, but why the fuck Eurovision?

@simongerman600 @WorldInMaps Banning Russia for being at War , but not Banning Isreal for genocide? I would prefer either be both or neither, splitting the difference just makes you look bad

Vladimir Lenin in a wheelchair with his sister, Anna Ulyanova, and his doctor, A. M. Kozhevnikov, at his estate in Gorki. This is recognized as one of last known photographs of Vladimir Lenin, taken after May 15, 1923, before his death in January 1924... Vladimir Lenin photographed in 1923 after a series of severe strokes had drastically reduced his health and political activity during the final year of his life. By this point, Lenin was largely isolated from daily government affairs while internal struggles over the future leadership of the Soviet state intensified around him. Lenin had led the Bolsheviks during the 1917 Russian Revolution and oversaw the creation of the Soviet Union in 1922 following years of civil war, political repression, and economic collapse across the former Russian Empire. His leadership fundamentally reshaped global politics, inspiring communist movements worldwide throughout the 20th century. After Lenin’s declining health removed him from active power, figures such as Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, and other senior Bolsheviks competed for influence within the Communist Party. Lenin died in January 1924 at age 53. Following his death, Lenin’s body was embalmed and placed on permanent public display in a mausoleum on Moscow’s Red Square, where it remains nearly a century later. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

@archeohistories fun fact the knights templar often touted as heroes used the name of God to rape and murder innocent women and children. Gee that was done an awful lot. Look at the entire history of the Christian religion. Or rather the history any and every religion for that matter.

Less than 25 years after the fall of Acre in May 1291 – the last, decisive defeat for the Crusader states – the Knights Templar fell too... Founded around 1119, they began modestly as military escorts for the Christian pilgrims flocking to the newly conquered Holy Lands. It was commonly said that the order had only nine knights for its first nine years – a figurative truth that also nods to the way in which the order always seems to have had a mystical identity alongside its material one. Myths and fantasies accreted to it; arguably, they were its downfall. The great Cistercian scholar Bernard of Clairvaux, an early supporter, acclaimed them as ‘a new sort of knighthood’, but they were a new sort of monasticism too, one which – counterintuitively – privileged violence over contemplation. ‘Whether one dies in bed or in war, the death of his saints will doubtlessly be precious in the sight of the Lord’, Bernard wrote. ‘However, the more precious is death in war.’ The Templars were also a new financial system. At their peak they had a network of some 870 houses and castles, and their vast reach made them the preferred choice for transferring large sums internationally. Henry III used the Crown Jewels as security for a loan. Baldwin II of Constantinople had something better: a relic of the True Cross. In the end, it was all about money. The Templars were rich; Philip IV of France was in need. In the autumn of 1307 he pounced. The Templars were arrested and charged with blasphemy, idolatry and institutionalised sodomy. Was it true you were required to deny Christ three times and to spit on a crucifix, they were asked. Were you told, ‘If any brother of the Order wishes to lie with [you] carnally, [you] shall accept this because it is a duty’? In 1307, Philip IV of France was feeling uneasy over the Templars’ immense power. At their peak the Templars had a network of some 870 houses and castles. It was all about money. The Templars were rich, very rich indeed - and Philip IV of France was in need. In the autumn of 1307 he pounced.... Philip IV had every Templar in France arrested. Philip handed them over to the Inquisition for interrogation, and confiscated all the Order’s property. Many outlandish accusations were made against the Templars. This included worshipping the Devil, denying God, Christ and the Virgin Mary, spitting or urinating on the cross, and engaging in ritualistic homosexuality. Those Templars that were arrested, were brutally tortured. They were tortured to the point where they were forced to confess to the abominations they were accused of. Many of the knights recanted their confessions afterwards, saying how they were forced into making them. On 11th May 1310, 54 Templars were burned at the stake in a field outside Paris. After this mass burning, many of those still alive in prison feared for their lives. They hastily announced that their confessions had been true after all, in the hope of escaping a fiery death... Philip eventually pressured the French pope, Clement V, into closing the Order down in 1312. Two years later the Grand Master himself, Jacques de Molay, was burned alive in Paris. The accusations and confessions have surrounded the Templars with an aura of mystery, that has lasted ever since. There were tales of them worshipping a curious head, carved of wood, bearded, covered with silver or gold leaf, or with four legs - this was thought to be the embalmed head of Christ. Another theory is that the Templars were the custodians of the Holy Grail, which came to them by way of Mary Magdalene. This was reportedly hid away in Scotland. Many also think the many treasures of the Knights Templar, was then transferred to Nova Scotia - namely Oak Island. #archaeohistories

I have learned with deep concern of the reports regarding the growing violence in the Sahel region, particularly in #Chad and #Mali, which have recently suffered terrorist attacks. I offer the assurance of my heartfelt prayers for the victims and my spiritual closeness to all those who are suffering as a result of the tragic events. I fervently hope that every form of violence may cease, and I encourage all efforts aimed at fostering #peace and development in that beloved land.

In 1871, photographer William Henry Jackson captured a powerful image of a Bannock Tribe family group in the Idaho Territory. The Bannock people, originally from the Great Basin region, were known for their nomadic lifestyle, hunting, and fishing, relying heavily on the natural resources of the land. This photograph offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the lives of the Bannock people, who, like many Native American tribes, were facing significant changes due to increasing contact with settlers and the pressures of westward expansion. The family in the photograph exemplifies the close-knit nature of the Bannock community, where survival and well-being were often dependent on cooperation and the sharing of resources. The attire worn by the individuals, which would have included garments made from animal hides and adorned with beadwork, reflects the rich cultural traditions of the tribe. These elements not only served practical purposes but also held symbolic significance, telling stories of heritage, identity, and spiritual connection to the land. William Henry Jackson’s photograph is a poignant reminder of the indigenous cultures that inhabited the American West long before the arrival of settlers. It highlights both the resilience and beauty of the Bannock people, whose way of life was in the process of being profoundly disrupted. Today, such images are invaluable, preserving the legacy of the Bannock Tribe and other Native American communities, ensuring that their stories are remembered and honored. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

Just seven years after that photo. It was 1878. Starving and desperate, the Bannock bailed on the reservation en masse. They just went looking for food. This kicked off the Bannock War. General Oliver Howard led the regular US Army out there, methodically hunting them down before completely crushing the group. Troops killed dozens. Afterward, they rounded up the survivors and shoved them right back into the camps under heavy military lockdown.

In early 1900s, many physicians believed premature babies were weak and not worth saving. But a sideshow entertainer named Martin Couney thought otherwise. Using incubators that he called child hatcheries, Couney displayed premature babies at his Cone. At a time when many hospitals lacked both the equipment and the will to treat premature babies, Couney operated “infant incubator exhibits” at venues like Coney Island and the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Visitors paid admission, and the proceeds funded round-the-clock medical care, trained nurses, sterilized equipment, and temperature-controlled incubators based on European designs. Medical consensus in the early 20th century often viewed premature infants as unlikely to survive. Couney challenged that assumption. Over several decades, his exhibits reportedly cared for thousands of infants, with survival rates far exceeding typical hospital outcomes of the era. His work, while unconventional, helped normalize neonatal care and demonstrated the effectiveness of incubators long before hospitals widely adopted them. By 1940s, advances in neonatal medicine, many validated by outcomes from Couney’s programs, led hospitals to establish dedicated premature infant units, effectively ending the need for public incubator exhibits. © Reddit #archaeohistories
