Baiae was the ancient world's Las Vegas, a hub of debauchery and vice located around 18 miles (30 km) from Naples.

Was Baiae the Roman Sodom? Renowned for its hedonistic lifestyle, Baiae was the ancient world's Las Vegas, a hub of debauchery and vice located around 18 miles (30 km) from Naples.

The elite of Rome gathered here, indulging in whims and beach parties where wine and entertainment were abundant. Moralists like Seneca condemned the city's refined yet depraved lifestyle, while Cicero called it "Rome in miniature," deeming it a place of vice.
Today, its ruins lie underwater in an archaeological park accessible by glass-bottom boats, snorkeling, or diving. Beyond this park, Roman ruins such as the Temples of Mercury, Venus, and Diana attract visitors.
Baiae was also famed for its therapeutic hot springs. Many Roman figures, including Nero, Cicero, Caligula, and Caesar, frequented and built villas here. Sacked by a Muslim army in the 8th century and abandoned by 1500, the city's ruins now rest beneath the bay's shallow waters, submerged due to Volcanic.

Medieval Torture for the unfaithful,

Image
Medieval Torture for the unfaithful, here is but just seven of them which if you were unfaithful or a criminal or even just a wroungun you may have received a very sore end on some of these devices  1. Flaying is a method of slow and painful torture and/or execution in which skin is removed from the body. Generally, an attempt is made to keep the removed portion of skin intact 2.The Heretic's fork was a small metal device with two opposed bi-pronged forks attached to a belt. One sharp end was placed against the victim’s throat and the other against their sternum. The victim was forced to hold their head up; if they dropped it, the prongs would pierce their neck and chest. 3. Rat torture was a method used in medieval times. It involved putting a pot of hungry rats into a cage that was strapped to the victim's stomach. The cage was then slowly heated, causing the distressed rats to chew and claw through the victim, trying to escape 4.Crucifixion was once a brutal form of humilia...

As a WOMAN, once you PLACE your VALUE on MONEY

Image
As a WOMAN, once you PLACE your VALUE on MONEY, there are THOUSANDS of MEN who are willing and ready to PAY the HIGH PRICE just to make you USELESS and WORTHLESS, by so doing, your VALUE/INTEGRITY is TARNISHED and VALUELESS.. Many MEN will come just for what you have as an ENJOYMENT and they will give you whatever you want just to have it. A lot of DESTINIES have been DESTROYED as a result of this. Many WOMBS have been DESTROYED.. Many GREAT STARS have been taken away.. Listen, if as a WOMAN, you SLEEP with any MAN you want, it's not because you are of HIGH VALUE, it's because you are EASY.. A WOMAN'S VALUE LIES in her BODY. If you think by SLEEPING with a lot of UNWORTHY MEN, your VALUE will INCREASE, TIME will prove you WRONG.  DEAR SISTERS please RESPECT yourselves. Truth is most THINGS you OPEN your LEGS for are very CHEAP and AFFORDABLE if you have a JOB, a SKILL or a TRADE.  In addendum: These WOMEN are not SLEEPING with themselves. I see no difference between a WOMA...

In 1663, France implemented a program called "Filles du Roi" ("Daughters of the King")

Image
In 1663, France implemented a program called "Filles du Roi" ("Daughters of the King") , which involved sending 800 women to the colony of Quebec with the purpose of marrying male settlers. This initiative was aimed at bolstering the colony's population and establishing a more balanced gender ratio. The program proved to be highly successful, as it resulted in the doubling of Quebec's population within a mere decade. The women who participated in this program left a lasting impact on the demographic makeup of Quebec and French Canada as a whole. Today, genealogical research has revealed that approximately two-thirds of French Canadians can trace their ancestry back to these courageous women who left their homeland to start new lives and families in the New World. The "Filles du Roi" program not only played a crucial role in the growth and stability of the colony but also shaped the genetic heritage of French Canada for generations to come.

10 REASONS NOT TO DATE AN OLDER WOMAN.

Image
10 REASONS NOT TO DATE AN OLDER WOMAN. 1. SHE IS DISRESPECTFUL An older woman won't respect you because she sees you as her junior or a boy not mature enough to guide her. She is probably funding your lifestyle and this makes her disrespect you even more.  2. SHE IS ANGRY Since she is older, she will not plug into your masculine energy. This leaves her empty, deprived and frustrated. What follows is a series of drama and chaos including alcoholism. She hates her life, she is angry at herself and therefore she will project this anger towards you.  3. SHE IS REBELLIOUS An older woman believes she is more mature and experienced than you in the marriage. She will openly refuse your instructions and order. She will ridicule your actions and defy you both in public and private. 4. SHE IS MANIPULATIVE An older woman will manipulate you for her own egocentric needs. She will trick you to make wrong decisions that fulfil her temporary desires then when things backfire she will blame yo...

the "Carolina Twins

Image
Millie and Christine (the "Carolina Twins") were born in Whiteville, North Carolina, on July 11, 1851, to Jacob and Monemia McKoy who were enslaved by the blacksmith Jabez McKay. The McKay farm was near the town of Whiteville. Prior to the sisters' birth, their mother had given birth to seven other children, five boys and two girls, all of ordinary size and form. The twins were conjoined at the lower spine and stood at an approximately 90-degree angle to each other. The twins were first sold at 10 months of age to South Carolinian John C. Pervis. Pervis and McKay reached an agreement where Pervis exhibited the girls for pay and then paid a percentage to McKay. Fourteen months after the original sale, they were sold to a showman, Brower, who had the backing of a wealthy merchant named Joseph Pearson Smith. Brower first exhibited the twins at North Carolina's first ."state fair, held in 1853. They were called "freaks of nature". The North Carolina State F...

first person to walk across the icy wilderness of Antarctica

Image
In 1914, an explorer named Ernest Shackleton set out on a daring mission. His goal? To be the first person to walk across the icy wilderness of Antarctica. He and his crew of 27 men set sail on a ship called the Endurance. But things didn't go as planned. Just two days after leaving South Georgia, the ship got trapped in thick sea ice. For ten long months, the Endurance was stuck, slowly being crushed by the moving ice. Finally, when the pressure became too high, the Endurance was lifted by the ice, its rudder and keel torn off, and water started to rush in. Shackleton and his crew had no choice but to abandon their ship and set up camp on the ice. They spent months drifting on ice floes, surviving on limited supplies. In April 1916, they managed to reach Elephant Island using lifeboats. But they knew that no one would find them there, so Shackleton made a bold decision. He and five others set off in a lifeboat, sailing 800 miles across the stormy Southern Ocean to South Georgia. A...

the Chippewa Flowage.

Image
Every year, dozens of local boat owners in Wisconsin band together to move a giant floating island on Lake Chippewa, also known as the Chippewa Flowage. This floating island, known as the "Forty Acre Bog," is composed of peat, plant roots, mud, and even mature trees. These trees act as sails, catching the wind and moving the island around the lake. When the bog drifts and blocks a crucial bridge connecting the east and west sides of the lake, it requires a community effort to push it back into position using their boats. The floating bogs formed over time as peat bogs from the lake's swampy bottom rose to the surface, creating a habitat rich in biodiversity. Moving the bog is a complex task that relies on favorable wind conditions, and it often requires multiple attempts to place it correctly, or it will drift back within days. This annual task, while challenging, highlights the community's dedication to preserving the natural environment and maintaining access across...

The way Geologists determine the difference between Clay/Mud.

Image
The way Geologists determine the difference between Clay/Mud, Silt, Sand, Pebbles and Boulders is based on the size of the Grains, this is because its all different stages of the same stuff being broken down. Petrified Cedar is chemically the same as Silica/Sand, Petrified Red Cedar Tree Sap is chemically the same as Quartz. There are companies that make sand from petrified wood (think of how much sand is in the world and where it all came from) this information is not based in theory but observable testable reality. Before the birth of the world we inhabit today, long before the fabricated 'recorded' history we've been fed was written, the entire Earth/Realm was a thriving Jungle, These Giant Trees Provided a canopy that would have covered the entire sky. The difference in size from an Ant to a Human is the scale between the Ancient Giant Trees and the Trees we have today. You need to throw all of the mainstream science supporting fake history in the bin, it's all bou...

On November 19, 1863, in the midst of the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln delivered what would become one of the most enduring speeches in American history. Speaking at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Lincoln reflected on the brutal Battle of Gettysburg that had taken place just months before, where Union forces repelled the Confederate invasion of the North. In his short, 272-word address, Lincoln reaffirmed the principles of liberty and equality upon which the nation was founded, while also emphasizing the importance of preserving the Union. He ended with a call for "a new birth of freedom" and a government "of the people, by the people, for the people," words that continue to resonate in the American consciousness. .
