Dedicated Twitter Page Shares Lesser-Seen Moments From History, And Here’re 30 Of The Best Ones
History often gets brushed aside by other subjects in school because of an oversimplified view of the discipline. For the most part, it’s presented as a “recollection of stuff that happened” and that’s it.
But many fail to see that it’s much, much more than that. Besides actually learning from past mistakes, history teaches everything from critical thinking to cause and effect, explaining who we are as a species, why we are that way, among many other things.
Besides, history’s interesting as all heck, and this one Twitter page brings that point across by featuring moments that are often lost in the annals of time. And so we’ve collected some of the best glimpses into history as shared by the Lost In History Twitter page, which you can see below.

Absolutely love this 💜 It's sad, cuz I used to work in tech as a PM, and about 80% of all programmers I worked with were sexist neckbeards. That's actually why I quit, I couldn't take the awful treatment anymore. Funny how computers, wifi, computer code, and the internet itself wouldn't exist if not for women. Ada Lovelace, Margaret Hamilton, Hedy Lamarr, and Radia Perlman, we owe everything to you.

You would only get me on a cruise ship by force or drugging. Terrifying.

Trees are strung together at a height and angle that serves to block the road from the view of enemy watchtowers. All the enemy lookout sees is forest and trees, but not vehicles or roadway.

"Best friend" considering she was openly bisexual? From what I understand, her husband, Diego Rivera, was not a very good husband to her, so she may or may not have had an affair (or multiple affairs) with a woman. Someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, this is coming from my own dusty memory banks. ETA: Wow a lot of you are assuming that I don't think Frida Kahlo can keep it in her pants JUST because she's bi. She has had relationships with women and history has an annoying way of heteronormalizing things (is that a word? Screw it, it is now). So it's therefore reasonable to wonder (NOT assume, but just wonder) if there was more to this friendship. I am NOT making assumptions. Go be mad at someone who is actually a bigot. You're wasting your time with me.

Photo taken in Snow King Resort, Jackson, WY. Operational between 1951 and 1978, it replaced a similar single seater arrangement operational since 1946, that reused posts and cables from an ore tram built in the '30s for a mine close by. It was replaced in 1981 be a modern Doppelmayr Garaventa double chair lift. Removed in 2014. There are several photos like this floating around because this was taken in a spot that was specifically designed for touristic photos, to give impression of being at height, while in reality the seat was barely 3 meters from the ground for the whole run. The uncropped photos show the bushes/small trees just below. It was not exactly safe, but forced perspective is the main factor here.

For a moment I thought it was a horrible sample of trepanning but then I read the caption and was like whew... but still cursed AF.

People on 1969: quietly takes picture. People in 2023: calls 911, child protection services, fbi, cia, dea, nsa, nasa, cnn, nbc, and fox news, while going live on both instagram + tiktok and screaming threatening the young mom.

This, to me, is still the scariest movie of all time. It leaves me feeling horrible inside. When my parents were dating, they went to this, and my mom had to leave early. On the way out, they had stretchers along the wall. Then again my mom likes to embellish things so the stretchers may not have been there.

Fun fact! John Ringling bought a palacial estate on the Sarasota Bay and when he died, destitute, he gifted the estate to the state of Florida. It is now home to Ringling museum, circus school and is open to the public to walk the grounds and tour the home. It's beautiful and worth the trip if you find yourself in the area.

I'd just like to take a moment of mournful silence for all of us Gen Xers and older in regards to the fact that the "1990s" are now regarded as much a part of "ancient history" as the 1950s.

Why would this be part of a category about pics we might not expect? A girl blowing a bubble w/gum?

The 1970s in America seemed like it was a banging time. So much progressive progress for women in that decade.

We marched, protested, had sit-ins, and worked our butts off for rights that are now being chiseled away. It chaps my hide. Yes, I'm still protesting.
