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.

I agree, strong genes. But also of note is, their family line has this distinct look running in their genes, while I'd argue that most people, in general, have more average features, thus making it harder to notice a pattern as strongly as with Lincoln, for example.

Lost in History is an online page—one that has a presence on multiple social media, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, where it has its largest following at 1.2 million—that focuses on showing interesting glimpses into human history.
By interesting, we mean lesser-known or lesser-seen moments from the past that stand out more than others. Either because they are weird or bizarre or just different, or because you mayhaps didn’t think of it that way, or it was a stepping stone to greatness in a certain field (e.g. medicine), and the like.
Whatever the case, it’s definitely a unique take on history, and this page shows it.

So happy to see this little known part of history. I wonder if this was just the two of them, or if veterinarians during WWII organized an ambulance service for injured animals, even if only an unofficial one. I would hate to think that the plight of animals was never a consideration during wartime. All animals, whether pets, livestock, zoo animals, or wild animals, were under threat of bullets and bombs, and experienced the same privations as humans, so I couldn’t imagine that both professionals and animal-loving civilians would just ignore their suffering. Every living creature, regardless of species, is fully affected by war, and shouldn’t be forgotten.

Durbar - originally a 'celebration' to declare Victoria as the Empress of India. The last one was held 1911. They planned another in 1936, but due to the death of the king, then the abdication of Edward VIII and then ill health of George VII it was postponed again. Due to the changing politics and independence movement, no further Durbars took place. And yes, they were very tall.

More specifically, the page features events, people or just plain ol’ things (or different angles thereof, in some senses) that you don’t see every day. Take the Titanic, for instance: it’s made out to be this huge cruise ship that was tanked by an iceberg, like a gargantuan natural force that took down a behemoth of technological advancement in logistics, but by today’s standard, it’s kinda tiny. But size doesn’t matter, right?
Here’s the King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley caught off-guard in an early-day selfie. Here’s Fidel Castro as a young boy back in his school days. Here’s a man begging his wife not to be divorced. Things you just don’t see every day, or on the front page of history.

"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.

Being openly bisexual does not mean that people can't have best friends without sleeping with them. Speculation about other people's sex lives is so unnecessary.

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.

And speaking of unique angles on history, History Today elaborates on it by saying that history is narratives. It’s a certain kind of journey to explain things, decisions, outcomes, facts, whatever, and these various narratives hold them.
The article also proposes that the main task of history as a discipline is to be the epicenter of a constructive debate on our existence and everything in it—from political systems to leadership to economy to society and culture.
While it can be argued that the study of the “how” and the “why” in all things history seems like the most interesting part of the discipline, the entirety of history is as important as everything else in it. It’s more than just specific stories—context also matters, and marginalizing history will in fact hinder the full potential understanding of what’s what.

Soccer is an abbreviated version of 'Association Football' This football predates football associations it is simply a football. The word soccer is not wrong to apply to football but AFAIK only the US and Australia refer to it as such and it is not the national sport of either. Over 100 other countries call it football. Sorry for the rant!!
Dan Holden 2 years ago (edited)
We call it soccer here in Canada too. We also have our own version of gridiron football, very similar to American football. The Australians have Aussie rules football. Honestly I get why people say it should be football and not soccer, but considering soccer is a nickname that was given to football in England in the 1800s and that the countries that call it that all have their own games called football, I don't get why people continue to make a big deal out of it. Gridiron football has been around for 150ish years now. Nobody's changing the name. It's time to get over it.

For a woman to be divorced in that era was shameful. My grandmother was divorced and wore a wedding ring and called herself Mrs. I didn't realise that she wasn't a widow until my early 30s.

All romanticism aside, history is what led to the way things are today and can ultimately lead to how things will be in the future. Massive Open Online Courses, an online education organization, puts it into perspective:
“Take the Great Depression, for example—one of the most difficult but impactful periods in American history. The economic crisis put almost 15 million people out of work and sent countless families into homelessness, stealing their sense of security. Many of those people would feel insecure for the rest of their lives.”
“The government had to learn how to help. This effort gave rise to Social Security, federal emergency relief programs, and funding for unemployment efforts. These changes continue to make life more secure for millions of Americans.”
“Society today comes from hundreds and thousands of actions like these. The more you learn about how these things happened, the better you understand real life.”

I'll probably get flak for this, but I don't think that "The Exorcist" was scary, except for a few jump scares where they turned the volume up too loud. I have seen much better movies, that actually left we with a sense of fear after watching them. I would say that "The Amityville Horror", both the original and the remake are scarier, and the first "Conjuring" movie, as well as the first "Insidious", were much better. However, I would say that "Session 9" is probably the movie that has made me feel the most creeped out. Lastly, I would like to say that the "Saw" movies aren't scary, they are just torture porn. The first movie had a great twist, but every one that came after it was just awful. They are just torture porn to make you scared about if you had to do that, but otherwise, it's just gross violence for the idea of it. No story

Open up any National Geographic from the '30s or 40s, the color will knock you out. And Kodachrome was famously stable, so slides from back then are as brilliant as ever today. Certainly, Kodachrome was well established when this photo was taken, so if someone is sure this was colorized, please show proof

I wish I knew the name of the person who colorized this, they're amazing!

Why not? Whoever did it did a wonderful job, and if it makes it easier for some people to relate to the situation then go for it. Nobody's destroying the originals or erasing them from history to do this.

There are fabulous letters to Santa Claus from the turn of the last century--and the children are basically threatening Santa, telling him they will beat him up if he dare show up in their city. I wish I could remember where I saw them!

Don't panic, the tree falling on top of her in the pool will trap her and drown her before one of those balls breaks and cuts her.

Despite the picture, no one actually goes swimming in LA at Christmas time. I read that she was freezing during that photo shoot. LA has mild winters, but not mild enough for swimming!

Edit: Agree. She was exploited to extent. That did not remove her power of determination. I was already teenager in her era, with good understanding of male domination in work place ...thanks to my own beautiful mother. End edit. This woman was so beautiful very few realized she was intelligent and savvy. Worth $27 million at her death, I suspect the word "exploited" may not be applicable. Except when used in conjunction with the Kennedys. Ahem.

Awful that she had so much plastic surgery that she lost so much of her beauty.

How about "It's none of your damn business what she chooses to do with her face and body"? Neither does she "owe" anyone to look a certain way.

If she were an albino, her pupils would still be black, so the eyes are not the best point to judge albinism. Albino individuals lack pigment/melanin in their skin, hair, and irises, NOT their pupils. Also, just sayin', a three-second Google of her name and you would learn she is not albino.

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.
Hilary Mol 2 years ago
Also, when did we have a section of the 90s when some of us turned it into the 1960s? I don't remember that trend. I'm with you, LW. The 1990s and our generation can't be considered "ancient" yet - it's only 30 freaking years ago. It's barely old enough to qualify for "oldie" on some radio stations.

Literally the only thing to do as a kid in the upper Plains. Competitions were held to see who could blow the most bubbles before the gum was fouled with grasshoppers

Black and white photography still existed in the 80's and 90's among professional photographers for newspapers and magazines. It saved the publishers money to not print everything in color. So those pictures may not have been changed to black and white.
