In our times, most of humanity’s effort is set on exploring the future and the advancements that come with it, whether it’s technology or science. But delving into the past can be just as if not more entertaining.

Luckily, there’s a whole corner of Reddit dedicated to joining history aficionados together and sharing some of the most intriguing, rare and unique moments that happened a long time ago. Being home to a whopping 3.3M members, this subreddit is one of the biggest powerhouses on the platform!

Think of the moment Marlon Brando rejected his Oscar and gave the stage to Sacheen Littlefeather to protest Hollywood’s portrayal of Native Americans. Or the sunny afternoon when Che Guevara and Fidel Castro went fishing in 1960. Or a day in 1992 when Michelle and Barack Obama were giggling while getting married.

Thanks to photography, special moments like these were forever carved in our memories and so today, we invite you on a walk down memory lane. Scroll down and upvote your favorite ones!

My grannie got chicken feed in printed sacks in the early 60s. She used them to make me dresses for school.

My grandmother would make my aunts dresses from sacks. This was in the 50s, and they lived on a farm. The fabrics were beautiful. The flour companies would have contests for best dress designs. I saw one winner that was an evening dress. It’s a cool story if you want to google it.

    Welcome to the world of horses. Since they can live well into their 20's and 30's, many do not have a happy ending. I have two 20+ lawn ornaments (retired horses) that would have gone to slaughter. People tend to only be interested as long as a horse is useful.

    “Photographs bring history to life in an immediate and visceral way,” Lisa Yaszek, a Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies at Georgia Tech where she researches and teaches science fiction as a global language crossing centuries, continents, and cultures, told Bored Panda.

    Yaszek explained how it’s different from exploring history through written sources. “When we read books, we get lots of detailed information about historical events: who was involved, where the event happened, what factors led to and resulted from it, and so on.”

    I love looking at old photos and BP often is a great source. I wish more care were taken, however, with the titles and the explanations. I know this is taken from other sites but please do some curating BP. To use phrases like ‘the Chinese didn’t know photos were a serious matter…’ is just inaccurate and misleading. Old photos of China will immediately prove this wrong.

    Early social customs dictated that smiling and showing teeth in portraits was inappropriate. Some scholars say that bad teeth could be to blame since dental care was not nearly advanced as it is today. Other people attribute it to the long exposure time and how difficult it would have been to hold a toothy grin or pose that long. Still there are some hilarious Victorian photos of men and women letting lose a bit and laughing and smiling. I have a feeling that the man in the photo knew exactly what the photos were for.

Her father was from Mexico, so for modern terminogy she did have a native America's background, but she was not "indian" native american, a first nation's people. However we are supposed to differentiate the natives of current day US.

    Moreover, “Sometimes such information can be vividly detailed and prompt us to imagine what historical events might have looked like in ways that make us feel more connected to them, but sometimes we are so overwhelmed with dry or technical details that we actually feel more removed from the event than ever before,” the professor explained.

    On the other hand, photos rarely have this problem. “Even when shot by the most amateur of photographers, images of people living in and through various moments in history provide a sense of immediate emotional connection—we think, ‘wow, so that’s what it would feel like to experience that moment of history!’” Yaszek explained.

    That's because Stalin deviated extremely far from what Marx wrote in his original Manifesto. He called it "communism" so he could get the support of the workers. Marx (an open anti-statist) would probably be disgusted by what Stalin did with his ideology.

    I don't think people are mistaking her ethnicity. It's more that the movie is fairly recent and is still in people's minds, about a female warrior in an all male warrior class. Both of whom were badass women! Kudos to them both. Would love to see a movie about Nakano Takeko.

    The professor pointed out that “as the comments from posters on the ‘Exploring the Past through Historical Photos’ Reddit indicates, images of people from the past connect us to history in another, related way as well.”

    In this sense, we’re not just mere viewers. Yaszek explained that “once we feel an emotional bond with the people in historical photos and perhaps even begin to imaginatively empathize with them—we forge new intellectual connections to history itself, asking ourselves: ‘Why are the people in this photograph in this situation in the first place? What happened leading up to this photo—and what happened afterward?’”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    For viewers like us, this can be an empowering moment. “We begin to actively research and share what they know about events and people represented in specific photos,” Yaszek told us.

    Not sure if this was a Special Olympics event, but Arnold was heavily involved back then (and is still very much an advocate). His MIL at the time, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, was credited with starting Special Olympics back in the '60s.

    Arnie came to my high school in the early 90's to give out the "presidential physical fitness awards". (Which was a stupid series of tests we had to do in gym class. Like how many sit-ups you can do in a minute, how fast you can run, etc.) He landed a helicopter on our football field. I don't remember much else besides thinking how random it was that he was there. And no, I didn't receive an award. I was one of those kids who skipped gym class half the time and ended up with a bad grade. :)

    Moreover, looking at historical photographs is an opportunity to both learn history from experts and to become an expert yourself, Yaszek argues. It’s because they give us an opportunity to “work with others to re-create the real story behind the image.”

    “Sometimes, especially powerful photos can even prompt action in the real world, as we even begin to wonder, ‘how much does my own historical era have in common with this moment from the past?’ and ‘what can I do to make sure we do—or do not!—ever experience something like this again?’ And so by looking at historical photos, we can become agents of history!” the professor told us.

Anne's father survived and kept her dairy as a testament to the world of the innocence of his daughter who was able to find beauty and joy in the world despite the horrors of war. Her dairy is read by millions of people around the world.

    From the Russian Wikipedia: Temuraz Vanacha (1868-1984), participant in the First World War, rider of the 4th (Abkhazian) hundred of the Circassian cavalry regiment, holder of the St. George Cross of the 4th degree. He took part in the civil war (Soviet Revolution) , and after the start of the Great Patriotic War (WW2) at the age of 73 he asked to be enlisted in the army, but was refused (!!!!) . In 1977, together with other centenarians, Temuraz Vanacha became known to American television viewers thanks to his participation in an advertisement for the Dannon company, filmed in the USSR as part of the campaign called "In Soviet Georgia”, which talked about the properties of yogurt and stated that it was thanks to its use that Temuraz Vanacha lived to be 105 years old. His son Ivan served with distinction in WW2, more than earning those decoration he's wearing above.

    Yes, and the defeat at Adwa was a wake up call for the Italian army, who reorganized and updated their faltering leadership, antiquate equipment, spotty training and lacking organization. Only 40 years later, a much more efficient and better geared army went on to trample Ethiopia and march into the capital after a few months of hostilities. Without the defeat at Adwa the Italian Army could have come to the later deployments in Spain and in WWII on a much worse state.

    You go, baby! Awesome. Only 21 at the time (with 46 arrests!), Ben died far too young (56) in 2011 from lung cancer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Masel). By then, he'd been arrested 137 times. He had the distinction of being the youngest person on Nixon's infamous Enemies List and was a lifelong cannabis champion and advocate (https://hightimes.com/culture/from-the-archives-hemp-tour-90-1990/), bless him.

    The house is a dugout, "dig out" mostly into the side of that hill. The cow isn't standing on the roof of their house, but rather grazing on the hill. The dugout home had several advantages, but mainly it was inexpensive and it wasn't exposed to severe weather the same way a clapboard house would be.

It was in our Social Studies book, and we were working on one of those group into pairs projects, well flipping though we saw this and our 14 year old brains imploded. I think it was more the fact that we were supposed to be quiet, you know how everything is funnier when you can't laugh? Well we couldn't laugh and there was a cow on the roof.

Anyway we were on the India section and our textbook had a photo of Ravi Shankar seated on the floor playing his sitar except that the look on his face gave the impression of "I just sharted".

    Light inside these homes wasn't great for photography. As well, in good weather the family would "move outside" for clean air, light, etc anyhow. The photos could also be used to show family/friends back home (ie, not on the "frontier") that they were doing well. So - not that they aren't flexing, but the context is more complex.

    Well it was majorly disrespectful. The crystal flute was property of James Madison, and the Smithsonian gave the honor of playing it after more than a hundred years to a random pop star who then twerked while making 3 sounds with it. Going back to the fact that people "didn't know about it" and therefore have no right to be mad, if I didn't know about a Van Gogh painting but I learned it was being scribbled on, I would still be upset even if I didn't know the specific piece. What I'm saying is there wasn't really a good reason for Lizzo to play it, and having something that fragile being waved around was a bit foolish. That has nothing to do with her race.

    Conscription goes back centuries. During the Roman Empire there was a class of people whose only contribution they could make to the state was to give [the services of] their offspring. They were called The Proletariat. The name is still used for the working class today.

    No it's not. What is happening today has nothing to do with WWII and the war of annihilation waged by Hitler and Nazi Germany to clear the Soviet Union for their "living space." They either fought to live or faced certain death. Conscription didn't matter then. What is happening today is a war of aggression waged by an genocidal maniac (Putin) who is acting out because he's dying and probably impotent. Your failure to recognize the difference will only alienate the Russian people who are uninformed or been kept from the truth of the Ukraine invasion. It does nothing to set the stage or frame the dialog necessary for peace when Ukraine ultimately expels the invaders and retakes the territory that is rightfully theirs. Slava Ukraine!

    Amputations were also punishment for failing to collect *enough* rubber. A slight correction: Congo was not merely controlled by Belgian settlers, it was owned personally by King Leopold II of Belgium. He bears ultimate and personal blame for the atrocities committed there.

    What breaks my heart more is at that time his country would be the target of truly unspeakable atrocities by the Japanese military. Imagine feeling that sorrow for your countrymen then being accused of their attacker? (Note: this is merely about the time. Growing up I had a best friend from who was from Japan and our other best friend was from China. My Chinese friends mom flipped and started crying when she learned of it, but eventually conceded that we were just children and the world had moved on. This was the ‘90s)

    There were actually two of them, Jacques and Charles, Jewish brothers from Czech Republic. The word “bieder” is German for „staid“ which makes „biederer“ mean „staider“ . Perfect family name for someone taking such pictures in the 1920s and 1930s.

    When the fruit seeds were burned and charcoal was extracted, it could be used in the creation of the masks' charcoal filters which neutralized the poisonous gases. Two hundred peach stones or seven pounds of nut shells made enough carbon for one mask.

    wouldn't necessarily need a flash, just a long enough exposure. The fact that he was able to get the film out argues that his act went unnoticed. I believe this is one of the very few, if not the only , photograph of an acutal SCOTUS hearing in progress

    He was only one of two people to take a picture of the Supreme Court. I don't know who the other one was. More importantly, he was a German Jew, who'd studied law, engineering and zoology before WWI. He picked up a camera for the first time when he was 41, and used all sorts of methods to get candid shots, including hiding a camera in his bowler hat, with a small, virtually invisible, hole in the hat. When Hitler came to power, he and his wife fled to Holland. Life Magazine offered to move him to the U.S., but he declined. When the Nazis invaded, he was deported, and died in Auschwitz in 1944.

    FDR couldn't get the five member conservative court to approve all his new deal progressive legislation, so he packed the court with four new liberal judges. And they say SCOTUS is non-political! The US constitution does not specify how many judges are required. One more omission by Madison & friends who authored the Constitution. It is up to Congress.

    Dostler ordered the execution of 15 American prisoners of war. He was the first at the Nuremburg Trials to use the "I was just following orders defense", which the court did not accept. He was one of only two Nazi war criminals to die by firing squad. The rest were hung.

    The "oh, s**t" look on his face fills me with rage. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing that led up to this point, but probably thought he wouldn't have to suffer the consequences. He wasn't "just following orders." He was a general, a high rank. He MADE some of those orders. Pathetic. Putin take note.

    Dostler had 15 American prisoners of war executed, over the objections of the colonel tasked to do so, who delayed the executions at least twice. The colonel,Colonel Almers, who knew it violated the Geneva Conventions. At his trial, he claimed that he was acting under orders from his superiors, which was rejected as a defense, and in fact, that principle, that citing superior orders did not relieve soldiers or officers of responsibility for carrying out war crimes, was codified as Principle IV of the Nuremberg Principles. Incidentally, he was one of only two war criminals who was executed by a firing squad.

    The "mannequin" is called Antonia Matt. Her stage name was Mademoiselle Gabrielle, or "the half woman". She had a very interesting life. Starting with the fact that she wasn't allowed to go to a special school because she wasn't disabled enough and wasn't supposed to have an advantage over other children. She worked as a live mannequin, in the theater and in the circus. She was reportedly married twice. Citation: "Women don't need legs. I never missed her. I can enjoy life and do everything without her. In any case, they're not always particularly beautiful, and I don't envy women for that."

    A Gross exaggeration of what happened. A municipal government gave approval for construction on a disputed property and the Mohawks reacted. A police officer was shot and killed and then he ensuing standoff was resolved after a lot of time passing, by the army who were filmed and showed immense tolerance. I never heard about any bayoneting, perhaps it happened but was overshadowed by the police officer being murdered. No one was found responsible. Don't attempt to rewrite history while some us of lived it.

    Both Roosevelt cousins (fifth cousins, but still cousins) were probably amid the best presidents the USA ever had. One bought trust busting and the other the New Deal. Sadly all that progress was negated by some actor from Tampico, Illinois who decided to go into politics...

    Trying to construct the sarcophagus around the reactor. That was a very dangerous job done as a race against time. Additionally they also tried to build tunnels under the reactor and fill them with liquid nitrogen to stop any danger of the molten fuel hitting the water table. (That btw didn’t work as it wasn’t needed, the fuel had solidified). Sorry, I’m a nuclear incidents history nerd.

    Not another one!!! Do you have any idea what was happening in the world in 1943? There is not enough comment space to fully explain all the evidence surrounding the cause of the famine but I can assure you that the research carried out by 1 Indian journalist that started this whole "Churchill had a secret war on India and minorities", was not extensive enough and deliberately selective in the data used as evidence. The simple fact is that Churchill was not likely to have even been aware of the problem until it was full swing. From Aug 1943 until Dec 1944 more than a million tons of grains were transported by the Australians, who braved the Japanese submarine infested waters to help, under Churchill orders. The Indian Archives and British military records both show that Churchill supplied all the aid he could without damaging the war effort, stopped/diverted aid that would have taken too long. There were a LOT of factors that caused the Famine, but Churchill was not one of them.

    At the time of the photo, he was participating in the War of Cuban Independence as a war correspondent and English spy, and was soon to be transferred to India before a brief study period in the USA. The guy had a very interesting life well before being a prime minister, with his fair share of heroic actions, wartime distress, prison time and unpopular political campaigns (he was -surprisingly- a bit too liberal for the times)

    Not really. This is probably one of the early matches in the day, which are usually fought by younger men and trainees that are just starting out. Sumo matches generally start in the morning and continue through the evening with championship fights (bigger, more experienced wrestlers) happening in the evening. I ran into a few of the bigger guys when I ducked out of the main stadium for a minute to get a snack - those are BIG men. They're well over six feet tall and covered in massive slabs of solid muscle.

    It's an Abrams Airborne Manufacturing MGL-LTL, classed (quite optimistically) as a launcher for "less-lethal ammunition", in this case a tear gas cartridge. A tear gas cartridge weighs half a pound and can be shot up to 120 meters, meaning this gun and cartridge can develop over 300 J of energy. The US Army defines the lethal force threshold for ammunition at 80 joule. This kind of ammunition is defined as "less-lethal" only because it is supposed to be shot either in very high arches or to be bounced off the ground, something the Police forces never do, as they prefer a safe good ol'straight shot to the chest (or in this photo, to the head). That's why the actual injury or death ratio for this kind of shots is much, much higher than anything the manufacturer advertises.

    In the 1980s the US Government published a spec for a "less than lethal" gas cartridge for police, where the requirement for acceptance was being able to penetrate a wall made of two half inches plywood or plasterboard panels, plus insulation inbetween, at 50 meters of distance and at a 60 degrees angle. Imagine what it can do to a human head at close range and direct line of fire, like the cop in the picture.

    I am from Palermo, they were terrible years. Borsellino was killed with a similar method inside the city. If you are not from Sicily and want to understand a little bit more about the Mafia, watch "Mafia kills only in Summer".

    Terror attack, but also aimed at eliminating one of the fiercest and more experienced judges taking an unfaltering stance against the mob threat. At the time the Mafia was embedded well within the state. A Prime Minister, Giulio Andreotti, later turned out to be a Mafia man, something that surprised no-one but the inquiry went on for too long and the crime could not be prosecuted anymore. Falcone, Borsellino and a few others were trying to investigate the top of the pyramid by turning henchmen informers and by threatening them with incredibly harsh sentences. This photo marks a turning point in the fight against the mob. After this, lot of people who was unbothered by the Mafia really understood the danger and took position.

    From rarehistoricalphotos.com: As he aged, starting in the late 1970s, Kim developed a calcium deposit growth on the right side of the back of his neck. Its close proximity to his brain and spinal cord made it inoperable.

    During the 90s, Serbia started a series of wars in the Balkans (trying to occupy Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina). They lost all of them, but after that, they concentrated to bring misery to Kosovo. Finally, NATO reacted to give them some "reality check". After the bombing, they are a bit more peaceful, but even today, they are the only country besides Belarus which support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The neighbours from hell.

    I don't think that's what happening. His hand is the wrong way round to be a victory sign. In the UK giving a V sign with your hand that way basically means 'f*** off.' It's a way of swearing without actually saying anything. This is the British equivalent of what Americans would call 'flipping the bird.' Which makes this photo even more poignant as this British solider was most likely insulting those German prisoners, and they didn't even realise.

    He is still alive. With the Baikonur Cosmodrome and the landing area both being located in the newly independent Kazakhstan, there was a great deal of uncertainty about the fate of his mission. He remained in space twice as long as originally planned, spending a total of 311 days in space. He returned to Earth on March 25 and is sometimes referred to as the "last Soviet citizen"

    The act itself is horrible however it is / was considered to be an act of Honor. There were rituals to same in the case of men. Should a woman have performed this act it is known as Hara-kiri and there were no rituals followed. Seppuku / Hara-kiri was committed by a Samurai as either atonement for crimes, to regain lost honour or to avoid disgraceful capture and when done correctly was considered to be the most noblest way for a Samurai to pass away.

    Yes and no. He was going to go through the roof, just not at that point. The Undertaker was due to do another move, that would have been safer for Mankind. They had cable ties holding the roof panel in place. They snapped too early. Whilst lots of dangerous spots were planned, they basically went wrong.

We were Romanians in Austro-Hungarian uniforms, representing the roughly 2000 Romanians who fought for the Austro-Hungarian empire on the Western Front and are still buried in cemeteries around the Verdun area.
