Tiye (also known as Tiy, 1398-1338 BCE) was a queen of Egypt of the 18th dynasty, wife of the pharaoh Amenhotep III, mother of Akhenaten, and grandmother of both Tutankhamun and Ankhsenamun. She exerted an enormous influence at the courts of both her husband and son and is known to have communicated directly with rulers of foreign nations. The Amarna letters also show that she was highly regarded by these rulers, especially during the reign of her son.  Although she believed in the traditional polytheistic religion of Egypt, she supported Akhenaten's monotheistic reforms, most likely because she recognized them as important political stratagems to increase the power of the throne at the expense of the priesthood of Amun. She died in her early sixties and was buried in the Valley of the Kings. Her mummy has positively been identified as that known as the 'Elder Lady', and a lock of her hair, possibly a keepsake of the young king, was found in Tutankhamu

Kiburi arrives as part of an international breeding programme, so keepers hope he might get his new housemates under the mistletoe over the festive season. Getting in nice and early before the Christmas delivery pile-up, London Zoo had Kiburi shipped over by DHL. After a 1,903-mile door-to-door journey in a large custom-built crate - which included an onboard meal of leafy greens, leeks, a banana, and cold fruit tea - the 18-year-old stayed overnight at Heathrow before heading to the zoo. The enviously photogenic ape, weighing 193kg and measuring 5ft 4in, was welcomed into the Gorilla Kingdom exhibit after his medical check-ups and will soon be introduced to his housemates. Among them are females Mjukuu and Effie, and youngsters Alika and Gernot. Kiburi has arrived as part of an international breeding programme, so keepers are hoping that he might get Effie or Mjukuu under the mistletoe over the festive season.

Just before her 27th birthday, a British cat has been officially recognized as the oldest living cat.  Don’t let appearances fool you: Flossie might still be as beautiful and playful as a kitty, but she’s a senior lady.  At the nyan-tastic age of 26 years 329 days, roughly the feline equivalent of 120 human years, the record-breaking pet is in good health, although poorly sighted and deaf.  Flossie, a beautiful brown and black kitty with a gentle disposition and who loves cuddles and food, has seen different homes throughout her long life.  Her current owner, Vicki, says that she is still playful and curious, unbothered by her deafness and quickly adapts to new environments despite her lack of sight.  Every day, you can either find Flossie purring and napping by her owner, curled in her favourite yellow blanket, or enjoying a nice, big bowl of food.  "She never turns her nose up at the chance of a good meal," Vicki says.  Flossie’s journey to confi

During the Victorian era of the 1800s, Napoleon’s conquest of Egypt threw open the Gates of Egypt’s history for the Europeans. At that time, mummies were not accorded the respect that they deserved from the European elites and in fact, mummies could be purchased from street vendors (as shown in the picture) to be used as the main event for parties and social gatherings that took place in the 18th century. The elites of the era would often hold “Mummy Unwrapping Parties”, which, as the name suggests, had the main theme in which a Mummy would be unwrapped in front of a boisterous audience, cheering and applauding at the same time. During that period of time, the well-preserved remains of ancient Egyptians were routinely ground into a powder and consumed as a medicinal remedy. Indeed, so popular was pulverized mummy that it even instigated a counterfeit trade to meet demand, in which the flesh of beggars was passed off as that of ancient mummified Egyptians.

The term “forty acres and a mule” comes to mind. The term probably comes from the post-civil war program where General Sherman issued an order to give 40 acres to former slaves. The mule was not part of the order, but the general reportedly told troops to loan mules to the new land owners. However, the program did not survive very long. Even though the term originated from the war, many families, both black and white, survived on “40 acres and a mule”. Today it is difficult to imagine how that was possible. Some families were “sharecroppers” - farmed another’s property for a share of production. In this typical scene, the man has a somber expression. He could be contemplating how he is going to accomplish all the tasks facing him. He must provide food, shelter and clothing for his family - and feed the mule. Time, weather, and sickness offer obstacles. However he probably has extended family and neighbors for some support. He is likely younger than he appear

A Maasai man walks into a bank in NAIROBI and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to DUBAI on business for four weeks and needs to borrow 5,000. The bank officer tells him that bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the maasai manhands over the keys to a brand new Mercedes Benz S class 500 parked on the street in front of the bank. Produces the log book and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the maasai for using a KSH 15 Million Mercedes Benz as collateral against a 5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Mercedes Benz into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Four weeks later, the maasai returns, repays the 5,000 and the interest, which comes to 150.41. The loan officer says 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business & this transacti

Greeks attack the land camp Gelo's horsemen left their camp on the night before the appointed day, and at daybreak these horsemen arrived at the Carthaginian sea camp and were admitted into the camp. Greeks spotted them inside the Carthaginian camp from Himera and signaled Gelo. It is not known if the Syracusan army was inside Gelo's camp or had assembled somewhere outside at that time. The Greeks marched around the south end of Himera and moved towards the Carthaginian land camp. Theron and his army stayed put in Himera. The Carthaginian army left their camp and formed up on the hill, forcing the Greeks to fight an uphill battle. The struggle was fierce and long and neither side gained any advantages. Death of Hamilcar Sometime after the battle was joined, the disguised Greek horsemen killed Hamilcar while he was preparing the sacrifice, and then set fire to the beached ships, causing great confusion at the sea camp.[35] It is not known what further

1.Spartans Annually Declared War On Their Slaves And Exterminated The Strongest Ones The poor Helots really couldn't catch a break. In addition to doing all the laborious tasks for the Spartan society, every year the Spartans declared a Hunger Games-style spree on the Helots. The Crypteia - young Spartan men who had just completed their military training - were encouraged to slay as many slaves as they could, especially the strongest and fittest. This yearly terror showed the Helots the dominance of the Spartan force, and quelled any thoughts for uprisings.  Ironically, since the Helots constituted such a large portion of the Spartan population (seven Helots to every one Spartan), there was still always fear of an uprising. This fear was a driving factor in maintaining the vigorous military way of living for the Spartans, which created a vicious cycle. 2. Tombstones Were Only Given to People Who Perished In War - Or Childbirth Spartan culture was in every

You wouldn't want to cross paths with these five ancient rulers, who were known for invasion and torture. History is full of brutal, cruel and power-hungry rulers. Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot and Idi Amin are just several the world has seen within the last century. Let’s take a deeper dive and explore some five ruthless rulers throughout ancient history.   1. Attila The Hun Attila the Hun  Ruling the Hunnic Empire from A.D. 434-453, Attila the Hun was known as “The Scourge of God.” After seizing power for himself by killing his older brother, Bleda — Attila went on to expand his empire into areas of Germany, the Balkans and Russia.  The Huns were nomadic Eurasians, whose fighters were known to make blood-curdling screams and other noises while attacking their victims on horseback.

Slaughter of the Suitors In an 1888 engraving, Odysseus is shown slaying the suitors of his wife, Penelope, upon his return to Ithaca. References to an ancient solar eclipse in Homer's Odyssey point to April 16, 1178 B.C., as the date of Odysseus' return.  In the epic "Odyssey," one of the cornerstones of Western literature, the legendary Greek hero Odysseus returns to his queen Penelope after enduring 10 years of sailing the wine dark sea. Now scientists have pinned down his return to April 16, 1178 B.C., close to noon local time, according to astronomical references in the epic poem that seem to pinpoint the total eclipse of the sun on the day that Odysseus supposedly returned on. The "Odyssey" is a millennia-old epic said to be composed by the blind poet Homer. In modern times, the "Odyssey" is typically seen as fiction. Still, Homer's earlier epic, the "Iliad," was centered on the war against Troy, and scient

That Black men were injected with syphilis in the Tuskegee experiment The government infected 600 Black men in Macon County, Alabama, with syphilis The Tuskegee syphilis experiment studied black men with advanced syphilis for 40 years. Patients were lied to and prevented from getting treatment. A black mark in the history of American medicine that led to important reforms. Lest We Forget  Tuskegee Study: Black males thought they were receiving free healthcare. The experiment was to see what effects syphilis would have without treatment.  They were injected with what they were led to believe was actual medication.  This was conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service and happened over a period of 40 years between 1932 and 1972. Black men were experimented on to treat the disease with placebo penicillin and were offered free medical exams, free meals and burial insurance. But they were not given the drug, and 28 of the original 399 Black men died of syphilis, 10
