The Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican hairless dog) is considered a guide for the dead towards the underworld by the Aztecs. According to Waja_Wabit: “The hairlessness is due to a single mutation. And the allele of the gene that makes them hairless is autosomal dominant but recessive lethal.
This means that if two hairless Mexican dogs mate, ¼ of their offspring will die, ½ will be hairless, and ¼ will actually have hair like normal dogs.But because the lethal offspring die before birth, they are often reabsorbed in the womb, making 1/3 of the litter hairy and 2/3 of the litter hairless.”
The remains of an ancient Egyptian princess named Ahmose Meryet Amon who died 3,500 years ago. The princess died in her 40s. She was entombed at the Deir el-Bahri royal mortuary temple on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to the city of Luxor.
The princess’s mummified body is among those now housed at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.Recent scans of 52 of the museum’s mummies revealed almost half of the dead have clogged arteries—including the princess. In fact, she is now the earliest known sufferer of coronary atherosclerosis, a condition caused by a buildup of arterial plaque, which can lead to heart attack or stroke. (Source)
THE SHANGHAI BABY
The Second Sino-Japanese War began in July 1937. Japan announced they were going to bomb the Shanghai’s Whampoo River. On August 28, 1937, and news teams gathered to capture the event.
The bombers didn’t hit the Chinese defenses. They hit the city’s train station—which housed 1,800 civilians waiting for evacuation, mostly women and children. The Japanese aircrews had mistaken them for troops. In total, 1,500 died.
The photographer, H.S. Wong, saw a man rescuing children from the tracks. The man placed the first young child on the platform edge before returning to help another—and that is the picture Wong took.
