2 Infants Were Buried Wearing Helmets Made from Kids' Skulls. And Archaeologists Are Puzzled

Two infants were buried some 2,100 years ago wearing “helmets” made from the skulls of other children, archaeologists have discovered.

The remains of the two infants were found with nine other burials at a site called Salango, on the coast of central Ecuador. The archaeologists who excavated the burials between 2014 and 2016 recently published the details of their findings in the journal Latin American Antiquity.

The team says this is the only known case in which children’s skulls were used as helmets for infants being buried. The scientists don’t know what killed the infants and children.

The helmets were placed tightly over the infants’ heads, the archaeologists found. It’s likely that the older children’s skulls still had flesh on them when they were turned into helmets, because without flesh, the helmets likely would not have held together, the archaeologists noted.

One infant’s “face looked through and out of the cranial vault” — the space in the skull that holds the brain — the archaeologists wrote. Read more.

Nol

I don’t know if it was posted here already, but will put my take about Nol as it’s getting on my curiosity. I was rereading the earlier chapters and came across Nol/Yeong-gi’s grandma (or Nana, as he calls her). During the scene where Kousuke tries to pick Nol to “meet” with Shin-Ae (ep16), we see for the first time the grandma. She had the same eye colour as Nol so I’m going to rule out her as being simply a nanny, also Nana is a common term for grandmas for the Europeans. We can aslo notice how courteous Kousuke was for Mrs. Lochlainn, the Nana. Now, this name is quite Irish, I even spelt it wrong when I was looking it up (typed loghlann), if we note Nol’s appearance, green eyes + ginger head (more likely natural hair colour bc his eyebrows were of the same shade), it spells IRISH. I’m not sure if it was fan art or by quimchee herself, but I think there were posts of Nol also having freckles. Kousuke also teases Nol about tea and potatoes which are surefly a common item in the table for the Irish (also Europeans).

My guess on Nol’s biological mother is that (1) it’s not Yui Hirahara (Yuri, i forgot w/c one), (2) his mom is an Irishwoman and that the Nana is Nol’s maternal grandmother. (3) that she is likely dead prior to the story line in w/c after that Randulph had taken Nol in his home, and has, probably officially listed him under his family roster/as one of his children.. yes, I am alluding that Randulph most likely had an affair/cheated to Yui when Kousuke was younger....err if his currently 26, then when he was bout 7-8 yrs old. (4) or Nol’s biological mom was actually alive and was off to a different country or that they were forcefully separated by Yui/Randulph in exchange for Nol to be taken in the family, w/c would be traumatic for a young child. I posted bout this bit b4 on a panel about Nol’s allergic reaction to Yui/Yuri. ** tbh, this does not make sense if the nana was his maternal grandma bc if the purpose of the separation is to not be in contact anymore, then Nol’s living with his maternal granny, there surely will be contact between mother and son.

I also find it hard for Mrs. Lochlainn to be blood related to Randulph Hirahara  (to be his mom) considering that Kousuke never adresses him as his grandmother, say if they were really a Japanese Family, he’s more likely to call her the proper honorifics.

There’s also the name thing, his name was probably officially changed when Randulph had taken him in. His reason for not wanting to be called Nol anymore is bc it reminds him of his mother (separation event) let’s also just assume that his mom raised him alone (or with the grandma) in his earlier years and that Randulph was not aware of Nol’s existence until they (Nol’s mom) met again or that when she died and was contacted by Mrs. Lochlainn.

I am also assuming that Randulph is not an actual Hirahara, that he had taken the family name during marriage (he married to Yui’s family) as is common practice in Japan, especially in a Zaibatsu of little male family members/heirs.

SOooo there’s that.

*also noticed the change in character designs/styles. ex. kousuke seems to look younger on the earlier chapters than in the current ones. still good art.

Just remember that sometimes, the way that you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are.

I think Nol was physically abused as a kid; or at least at some point. I mean, for starters, this is how he reacts when he sees his mother/father:

Just look how fucking terrified this poor boy is. Something happened to make him terrified of his own parents.

It’s obvious that he’s scared of his parents, but the main driving force behind this theory of mine is the fact that he hates being touched.

We first see Nol smack Kousuke’s hand away from him even though Kousuke was just offering it:

He’s terrified of his own brother offering his hand.

We then see Mrs. Hirahara touch his neck:

I mean, he’s clearly extremely uncomfortable.

And then (this one really hit home for me) he wouldn’t take Mrs. Hirahara’s hand even though he too was about to fall off into the pool:

He grabs her hair instead.

And finally, in the most recent chapter (Episode 85), he pushes away Shin-ae’s hand even though she was just going to touch his forehead:

Something physical happened that made him hate being touched, even by his own parents, and that makes me really fucking sad. Like, this boy is just trying to live a happy life by making friends and surrounding himself with loving, caring people. He probably hates being hugged, and that’s REALLY SAD HUGS ARE LIKE THE BEST. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE WAS HUGGED BY HIS FAMILY, IF EVER??????

If it turns out that he was actually physically abused by his witch of a mother and his sorry excuse for a dad, I don’t even know what I’ll do…it’s making me sad just thinking about it…

Another thing to note is that Shin-ae is the only person we’ve seen “touch him” (correct me if I’m wrong), not even Alyssa has touched him. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THIS SWEET BOY GOT SOME LOVE????? NO WONDER HE WAS SO SUPRISED SHIN-AE HALF HUGGED HIM. my heart can’t take thissssss

[13pisces]

*whispers* I think Randulph had an affair and Nol was the result. Somehow, Nol's mom was either dead or is living on a different country separated from him. Prolly why there were issues between Kousuke and his mom. #iloveyoo

Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

Why can’t we have a movie about him?

[elasmata]

He was often called “Sempo”, an alternative reading of the characters of his first name, as that was easier for Westerners to pronounce.

His wife, Yukiko, was also a part of this; she is often credited with suggesting the plan. The Sugihara family was held in a Soviet POW camp for 18 months until the end of the war; within a year of returning home, Sugihara was asked to resign - officially due to downsizing, but most likely because the government disagreed with his actions.

He didn’t simply grant visas - he granted visas against direct orders, after attempting three times to receive permission from the Japanese Foreign Ministry and being turned down each time. He did not “misread” orders; he was in direct violation of them, with the encouragement and support of his wife.

He was honoured as Righteous Among the Nations in 1985, a year before he died in Kamakura; he and his descendants have also been granted permanent Israeli citizenship. He was also posthumously awarded the Life Saving Cross of Lithuania (1993); Commander’s Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1996); and the Commander’s Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2007). Though not canonized, some Eastern Orthodox Christians recognize him as a saint.

Sugihara was born in Gifu on the first day of 1900, January 1. He achieved top marks in his schooling; his father wanted him to become a physician, but Sugihara wished to pursue learning English. He deliberately failed the exam by writing only his name and then entered Waseda, where he majored in English. He joined the Foreign Ministry after graduation and worked in the Manchurian Foreign Office in Harbin (where he learned Russian and German; he also converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church during this time). He resigned his post in protest over how the Japanese government treated the local Chinese citizens. He eventually married Yukiko Kikuchi, who would suggest and encourage his acts in Lithuania; they had four sons together. Chiune Sugihara passed away July 31, 1986, at the age of 86. Until her own passing in 2008, Yukiko continued as an ambassador of his legacy.

It is estimated that the Sugiharas saved between 6,000-10,000 Lithuanian and Polish Jewish people.

[returnofthejudai]

It’s a tragedy that the Sugiharas aren’t household names. They are among the greatest heroes of WWII. Is it because they were from an Axis Power? Is it because they aren’t European? I don’t know. But I’ve decided to always reblog them when they come across my dash. If I had the money, I would finance a movie about them.

[westsemiteblues]

He told an interviewer:

You want to know about my motivation, don’t you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He just cannot help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes, Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent.

People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many people’s lives….The spirit of humanity, philanthropy…neighborly friendship…with this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situation—and because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage.

He died in nearly complete obscurity in Japan. His neighbors were shocked when people from all over, including Israeli diplomatic personnel, showed up at quiet little Mr. Sugihara’s funeral.

I will forever reblog this, I wish more people would know about them!

I liked this before when it had way less information. Thank you, history-sharers.

[mousezilla]

Tucked away in a corner in L.A.’s Little Tokyo is a life-sized statue of Chiune, seated on a bench and smiling gently as he holds out a visa. 

The stone next to him bears a quote from the Talmud; “He who saves one life, saves the entire world.”  

I had no idea it existed until a few weeks ago, but it’s since become one of my favorite pieces of public art. 

[antifainternational]

Chiune Sugihara.  Original antifa.

[agirlinjapan]

PBS made a documentary about Chiune Sugihara in 2005. If you’re interested in him, it’s definitely worth checking out. (The PBS link above even has some interactive information to go along with the film.) Ask your local library if they have a copy/can order you one from another library. You won’t be disappointed!

The series ending really broke me as a fan. It was just unjustified (plot included). I have been having second thoughts on watching this... but when I saw the trailer... with the amazing choreographed fight scene...somehow the glorious earlier arcs flashed on me as a fan on my teenage years. Damn. I am not sure wheter I should cry or what. I will definitely watch this. Go BLEACH! Nice adaptation!
