XXTickerXX Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Frozen in Time Thought some of you might like these photo`s. Some truly great ones I have never seen before. They include...

The last known Tasmanian Tiger photographed in 1933. The species is now extinct. This is believed to be the last picture taken of Titanic before her sinking in 1912.

M-4 tank crews of the United States in Fort Knox, Kentucky, June 1942. Mount Rushmore as it appeared in its more natural state. Manfred von Richthofen, aka “The Red Baron”, petting his dog on an airfield in World War 1. Members of the London Irish Rifles, some of whom played the famous game of football in no man's land on Christmas 1914/15. Panzer III tank crewman surrenders to an advancing British soldier during the Battle of El Alamein, 1942. Cavalry of the 'North Irish Horse' at the Marshalling area World War 1. The only photograph of a living Quagga from 1870. This species is now extinct. Apollo 16 astronaut Charles Duke’s family photo left behind on the moon in 1972. Charlie Chaplin without makeup.

I would never have recognised Charlie Chaplin with no makeup and the Marine must have balls of steel. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 History in pictures, they are really good. Charlie Chaplin looks very different to how he appeared on the screen, and very Jewish and handsome. I have kept a book full of great old photographs of events, its called-The story of 25 eventful years in pictures- dating from 1910 to 1935. It originally belonged to my grandfather, and I remember my mother saying a few years ago "that book might have been worth something now if one of you hadn't scribbled on two of the pages" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hardie Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Great pictures but is that rope really 3000 years old? I seem to recall reading that the opening of the tomb was restaged for the cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
