Street vendor selling mummies in Egypt, 1875.

During the Victorian era, it was common practice for the elites to buy those and then hold “Mummy Unwrapping Parties”. Mummies were also often ground into a powder and transformed into, for example, pigment (known as Mummy brown).
Merchants in apothecaries dispensed expensive mummia bitumen, which was thought to be an effective cure-all for many ailments. It was also used as an aphrodisiac.

The medical use of Egyptian mumia continued through the 17th century.

The physicist Robert Boyle praised it as...
... "one of the useful medicines commended and given by our physicians for falls and bruises, and in other cases too."

Colorized by me:

Battle of the Ancre, 13 - 18 November 1916: Wounded British troops at a Dressing Station in Aveluy Wood. One man shows damage to his steel helmet from which he suffered a head wound.

More WWI in color in my book, The World Aflame.
Photo by John Warwick Brooke.
English poet Edmund Blunden called the battle "a feat of arms vieing (sic) with any recorded. The enemy was surprised and beaten". Four German divisions had to be relieved due to the number of casualties they suffered and over 7,000 German troops were taken prisoner.

Publishing a book was a desire I had in my heart since I was very young. I can't believe how much life has exceeded my expectations...

Ps: several publishers rejected my idea of a history book illustrated with colorized photos because, apparently, people wouldn't buy it.

Ha
Ha
Of course, the project wasn't so refined and incredible as Dan and Head of Zeus (much love for them) made it be when we decided to work together. But still.... I have an evil satisfaction when I think about it.

Links to every published edition coming soon!

#OnThisDay in 1960, Adolf Eichmann, one of the major organizers of the Holocaust, is captured in Argentina.

"I will leap into my grave laughing because the feeling that I have 5 million human beings on my conscience is for me a source of extraordinary satisfaction."
Eichmann headed the Gestapo Department IV B4 for Jewish Affairs, serving as a self-proclaimed 'Jewish specialist'. He was the man responsible for keeping the trains rolling from all over Europe to death camps during the Final Solution. bit.ly/3y4TDAE
He drew up the idea of deportation of Jews into ghettos, and went about concentrating Jews in isolated areas with murderous efficiency. bit.ly/3y1F68N

Photo: Eichmann and members of the Gestapo, before a raid on the Jewish Community Center, Vienna, 1938.

#OnThisDay in 1886, pharmacist John Pemberton first sells a carbonated beverage named "Coca-Cola" as a patent medicine.
In April 1865, Dr. Pemberton sustained a saber wound to the chest during the Battle of Columbus. He soon became addicted to the morphine used to ease his pain. In 1866, seeking a cure for his addiction, he began to experiment with painkillers...
... that would serve as morphine-free alternatives to morphine.

After a few attempts, he began experimenting with coca and coca wines, eventually creating a recipe that contained extracts of kola nut and damiana, which he called Pemberton's French Wine Coca.
