~ A weekly short History thread featuring lesser known historical figures who have left their mark on our timeline ~

While history often remembers the victors, it rarely tells the stories of those who dared to fight back. In 1540, one powerful Indigenous chief in Alabama stood tall against one of history’s most brutal conquistadors, Hernando de Soto, and very nearly stopped him cold. This is the proud story of Chief Tuskaloosa.

Bro caught a fish and noticed an eagle had its eyes locked on it so he did the most unexpected thing 😂

@Bob_Janke I had the same thing happen last year. Mama set up shop for a time in a boat that wasn't being used. Then one day they were just gone. This is one peeking in a window shortly before they left.

[ArchaeoHistories @histories_arch]

Claude Mellan's Face of Christ, also known as The Sudarium of Saint Veronica (1649), is one of the most technically extraordinary works in art history...

The entire portrait is rendered using a single, continuous spiralling line that begins at the tip of Christ's nose and expands outward to the edges of the cloth.

Mellan achieved the illusion of depth, shadow, and facial features without any cross-hatching or traditional shading. Instead, he precisely varied the thickness and pressure of the burin (his engraving tool) as he rotated the copper plate, creating "swelling" lines that darken the image where needed.

The spiralling line is estimated to be approximately 150m (about 500ft) long if it were stretched out.

One of the most beautifully crafted films of all time..

The Fall follows a hospitalized stuntman who begins telling an elaborate fantasy tale to a young girl, as the boundary between imagination and reality gradually fades away.

Directed by Tarsem Singh, the film is widely regarded as one of the most visually stunning movies ever created, known for its vivid colors, surreal landscapes, and breathtaking imagery filmed in real locations across the world.

Today in 1980, Mount Saint Helens erupted in Washington State.

It was the deadliest and most destructive volcanic eruption in US history.
