The king asked is it a revolt. The advisor said no sire. It is a revolution. Hardest two sentences in French history. #revolution #bastilleday #historyshorts

OTD 1863: ten days after Gettysburg, Manhattan burns. Congress let rich men pay $300 to skip the draft. Mobs burned a Black orphanage. Lincoln pulled troops from the battlefield to fight civilians. The largest civil uprising in American history.

North Sentinel Island: a place where the modern world stops. Unlike most encounters, the Sentinelese people remain untouched, defending their home. Not every door is meant to be opened. #UncontactedTribes #Anthropology

Just a reminder of how Christianity became so popular today. During the reign of Charlemagne women were impaled on sharpened poles put in the vagina. Slowly over days the pole would travel the length of the body through the organs causing tremendous pain, simply because a woman was found collecting herbs in the forest. She was labeled a witch.
Their screams could be heard for days as an example to those who would not accept the foreign faith. Christianity became so popular because of sheer terror of what would happen if it wasn't accepted. And people think the Nazis were horrible. This is still happening today in the form of collective social pressure. Say your a pagan and your immediately labeled dangerous, evil, and a threat to the world.

One island has told the entire modern world no for thousands of years. Shipwrecks, missionaries, helicopters. Every attempt at contact refused. North Sentinel Island might be the most successful border in human history. .
