@redmagicblue@archeohistories Not correct. The Nazis flourished in Bavaria and were anti-establishment as they blamed the Kaiser & others for the loss in WWI and the ridiculous reparations demanded. The reparations are what allowed other extremes to enter German politics and cased WW2. Proper history indeed.
@Riber1235@histories_arch Lee, you need to reread the article. The original artist was trying to interpret the event through the lense of how he viewed the world. Christians today know the truth. That's all that matters.
@histories_arch This is bull and not Biblical. Nowhere is scripture does it mention that He was carrying anything This is lies and even if someone drew this on a wall there no evidence that he used anything of the sort.
They are simply making it up
This is garbage
“Jesus uses a wand to summon forth Lazarus from his grave” (Biblical Archaeology Society) (Mid-4th Century AD) (Catacomb of the Giordani, Rome)
This mid-4th Century AD, fresco from the Catacomb of the Giordani depicts the biblical story of the raising of Lazarus, one of the most frequently represented miracles in early Christian art. Scenes like this were painted in Roman catacombs during a period when Christianity was transitioning from a persecuted faith into a legally recognized religion within the Roman Empire.
In many early Christian artworks, Jesus is shown carrying a staff or wand-like object while performing miracles. Historians believe this imagery reflected artistic influences from Greco-Roman visual traditions, where philosophers, magicians, and divine figures were often portrayed using staffs as symbols of authority or supernatural power.
The story of Lazarus, described in the Gospel of John, symbolized resurrection, eternal life, and divine authority over death, themes especially important to Christian burial spaces such as catacombs.
Roman catacombs contain some of the earliest surviving Christian paintings in existence, preserving visual evidence of how biblical stories were interpreted by Christian communities nearly 1,700 years ago.

On Audrey Hepburn’s birthday, revisiting her unforgettable “Moon River” performance in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), one of the most tender and iconic moments in classic Hollywood cinema.
@Variety You make it sound like they’re reluctant to have her back on the air. She’s an absolute superstar and they wither and die without her. Who wrote this ridiculous steak? An intern? Someone who’s hallucinating? Or just a fucking idiot?
With no obvious immediate successor at “Today,” NBC has little choice but to bring Savannah Guthrie back:
• She can do hard-hitting newsmaker interviews and explain complicated legal matters, but also pal around with sports figures and movie stars
• Internally, she is known for helping the show “set the tone” around each day’s news cycle
• She has helped NBC and “Today” during some of their greatest and most public trials

@jasrifootball@SOGFootball Where's Bernie Kosar? After Belechick got rid of him, he went to Dallas and helped keep them in contention for the playoffs. You don't think Kosar belongs on this list? That's likely to get you "electronically" lynched in Northeast Ohio!
@CinemaTweets1 This film was okay. Just okay. It didn't predict anything... Except, perhaps, a future where certain commentators would refer to it as the finest film ever made.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more prophetic film than Network (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟). This movie predicted the future. It foretold of the Hell we find ourselves in right now. An impossibly relevant film with an impossibly perfect cast. Between the screenplay, the directing & the acting, Network is as good as cinema can possibly get. Storytelling as a whole doesn’t get better than this. In the wake of Robert Duvall’s passing, there would be no way on Earth that I wouldn’t revisit this movie. I truly believe this perfect filmmaking.
“You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won’t have it!” I’m sure I’m not the only person who on random, rainy days goes to YouTube to watch Ned Beatty’s Oscar-nominated, iconic speech as Arthur Jensen. But rewatching Network this time around, Beatty’s brilliance is so, so much more important within the actual movie. This speech means so much more within the context of the overall film. By the time Peter Finch’s Howard Beale comes face to face with Jensen, it’s after a war of attrition in which Beale, Max Schumacher (William Holden), Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway), and Frank Hackett (Robert Duvall) are all fighting amongst each other for some sort of sanctimony: let’s put a bat-shit crazy person on the air, but somehow, we can morally or financially justify it.
But all of that back and forth comes to a screeching halt when Beatty’s Jensen walks in the dark room: “the world is a business, Mr. Beale, it has been since man crawled out of the slime.” In other words, the powers at be aren’t immoral- they are amoral. They aren’t here to hurt you, they simply don’t ever think about you. They are here for the dollar, not for anything more or less significant. You think you’re that important, you think any of this matters? We all bow to the dollar, regardless of who or where you’re from.
This single moment within Network captures exactly where we are as a society right now. Some call it “late-stage capitalism”. I call it “everything is more expensive and worse quality”. That includes journalism, or what’s left of it. Everything & everyone has sold out their integrity just to stay alive in an incredibly difficult financial tumult, with no real resolution in sight. Standards? Ethics? Morals? Those are slipping through the tubes by the minute. Network was the tip of the iceberg. Network said “what happens if we put a suicidal man on TV? What if we really rock the boat??” Well, turn on the news today, scroll through the Internet right now, and you’ll see that chaos is all that is being sold. It’s exclusively on the menu.
Lastly, when I tell you acting in films doesn’t get better, I hope you believe me. This film earned 10 Oscar nominations in total- 5 went to actors. And Robert Duvall was not one of them. Consider that statement. It would be totally impossible for me to try and pick whose performance I find best in this film, but rewatching this in the wake of Robert Duvall’s death, it sort of blows my mind he wasn’t also nominated for an Oscar here. I just can’t wrap my head around how great every last actor is in this film.
One of the most important American films ever made.
@NewsNation@BrianEntin Well, I can't seem to access the area where I can leave a question. If I could ask a question it would be this: Did Investigators Count Up The Number Of Pills In The Medicine Bottles Left Behind?
Where is Nancy Guthrie? NewsNation’s @BrianEntin answers your questions live on the ground in Tucson, Arizona, in a primetime special Saturday at 8p/7C. Comment below using #AskEntin, and you and your question may be featured on the show. Find us on your screen: NewsNationNow.com
@AgnesShelb12786@FBIDirectorKash Well, considering people think aliens crashed at Roswell, believe the world is flat, or think it's okay for transgenders to be in women's restrooms, I'd say the FBI is right!
Hope everyone sees this entire "case" is a one big human experiment.
"law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images"
11 days. Just recovered video, that was "inaccessible" 🙄
Sorry people, you are being played. FBI is testing how far they can go before you say 'enough'..
They want to know how gullible the general public is.
Go read a book, cook some awesome food, and play with your kids or pets.
This psyop is a waste of time and emotion.
They think you're stupid.
New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie:
Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors - including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.
Working with our partners - as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance.
Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov
@SinisaNikolic19@crockpics Of all the silly conspiracy theories out there, the "Paul Is Dead" theory is probably the stupidest. That anyone would actually believe it doesn't bode well for human intelligence in the 21st Century.

@RockHarold99865@archeohistories You'd have to go farther south to see those. The Aztecs. The Mayans. The Incas. If Montezuma hadn't been so superstitious, he might have defeated Cortez. He didn't, though, and that was that.
@archeohistories Typical democratic crap she is a Democrat pit smoking college graduate that is dumb and thinks she is better than anyone else if the native Americans claim the land why didn't they build large permanent settlements on it
@Mark77qx@archeohistories It really pisses me off that they nearly made the Buffalo extinct. As for the Indians... Not so much. They learned the hard way the price of being militarily inferior.
@MargeeWares@archeohistories Who's we? My Dad's parents were Irish and French. They arrived in the USA in 1892. My Mom's parents were both Russian, and they didn't arrive until 1909. We didn't steal anybody's land. Personally, I'm tired of all the whining. Life is tough. End of story!
@archeohistories I never understood why we took land that wasn’t ours to take but I also understood that people fight and take over land all the time — these people deter land back or compensation for what was taken —
@archeohistories My husband is of a Cherokee tribe and I think that all tribes should get together all throughout the country, unite as one and take the country back. A lot of us would like to participate and back this up. 🥰
