Part 3 :1. Battle of Tours en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tourshe Battle of Tours (10 October 732)[17] — also called the Battle of Poitiers and, by Arab sources, the Battle of the Palace of the Martyrs (Arabic: معركة بلاط الشهداء, translit. Ma'arakat Balāṭ ash-Shuhadā’)[18][19][20] — was fought between Frankish and Burgundian[21][22] forces under Charles Martel against an army of the Umayyad Caliphate led by 'Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, Governor-General of al-Andalus. It was fought in an area between the cities of Poitiers and Tours, in north-central France, near the village of Moussais-la-Bataille, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Poitiers. The location of the battle was close to the border between the Frankish realm and then-independent Aquitaine. Later Christian chroniclers and pre-20th century historians praised Charles Martel as the champion of Christianity..2. The First Crusade (1095–1099) (sic!)  
was the first of a number of crusades that attempted to capture the Holy Land, called by Pope Urban II in 1095. It started as a widespread pilgrimage in western Christendom and ended as a military expedition by Roman Catholic Europe to regain the Holy Land taken in the Muslim conquests of the Levant (632–661), ultimately resulting in the capture of Jerusalem in 1099.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Crusad
............................................................................. and I assure you, everything is moving to Fatima in Portugal
..   It comes 31 years to the day the Pope visited the assassin in prison and forgave him for the attempt on his life 
ps.my dear students .. per week we go to the 770 years between the Islamic conquest of Hispania in 711 and the fall of the last Islamic state in Iberia at Granada to the expanding Christian kingdoms in 1492. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconquista !!!!

In 2009: I am 39 years old .. Ok I say: I will be 40 years old - I am ready to do work on the Holocaust .. All artists are making the Holocaust and earning even good money ..  Theme perfect for the artist .. I type in the word google: Holocaust and image ..: On the first page I have 2 things (interesting for me): 1. Parasite mate: Hitler is a dick! (Brilliant -Spray ..)  2. Jürgen Stroop (born Josef Stroop, 26 September 1895 in Detmold, Germany - 6 March 1952 in Warsaw, Poland) was an SS General during World War II. He was in command against the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and wrote the Stroop Report, a book-length account of the operation. On one of the concrete buildings, the Jewish and Polish flags were displayed as a call to fight against us. However, on the second day of the action, a special battle unit managed to capture the two squadrons. SS-Untersturmführer Dehmke was killed in this battle with bandits ...  3.The Armenian Genocide- Hanged Doctors (photography)  ------------------------- - I said: o Fuck ! I look and say again: o Fuck ! !! What?! 1. who is the mate of the parasite? - I emailed the congratulations - the best anti-war work for me( - turned out to be a young, poor artist .. I was shocked .. 2. Jewish and Polish flags in the ghetto? In 1943? .. What the fuck here? At school and in books there are no such events! (Fake news? 2009 .. ) 3. no comment .. I say: I have it! I will work about the Holocaust! My story will be told here, and then you can ban me ...  |

Uu  July 24 1911, Hiram Bingham rediscovered Machu Picchu, Peru
"Surprise followed surprise until there came the realisation that we were in the midst of as wonderful ruins as any ever found in Peru." he wrote. He had come upon Machu Picchu ("old peak" in Quechua).I always found this image particularly captivating. Imagine the excitement, trudging wearily, after many tiresome hours, vertically through cold mists before stumbling upon a long lost settlement. How long had it been before any other human had seen this place? If only I could go there now to experience it without all the people who ruin these things.
The whole experience would be breathtaking, and I hope I wouldn't find mounds of plastic bottles.
Although, i'm sure i'd later find out that this is where the indigenous people went to smoke marlboros and shit in big heaps.

 It's weird to think we're still having this conversation, fifty years later. All three athletes showed tremendous courage that year, and all three paid for it. |

I recommend to follow this group, pro-editor recolorizing historical photos - www.reddit.com/r/ColorizedHistory/As for this photo, it is of lesser importance historically, but still the history behind this little box and the man behind it is strange and amazing to read. Still a place that some go visit, here Kurt Cobain visiting the site. I let you find what it is !  |
