Fascinating and tragic time capsule. 🙁

Just imagine. 100 years from now, archaeologists will find the well preserved bodies of hundreds of thousands of innocent women, children and men killed by our troops in Iraq.

Amazing.

You are a horrible, disgusting person.

 

[Ichinisan]

Glanced at the pictures. The items aren't nearly as "well preserved" as they imply.

Came in to post this.
Plus, where are the bodies? I would like to see how well they have been preserved. 🙄

Given that those are soldiers I can almost guarantee that's piss in that bottle.

thanks so much for the share. WW1 was fascinating. how we didn't learn from that is beyond me.

 

[Gothgar]

crazy

 

[Triumph]

pretty cool. bodies must have been skeletons in uniforms, though.

This individual is getting creepier and creepier.

Back on topic, nice find.

Thanks for sharing

We did. We learned that mobile warfare was much more effective and that the airplane and tank were the future. WWII was a completely different war.

Trench warfare was a crazy thing back then. Read this on how the Allies set off one hell of a huge boom:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Messines

While determining the power of explosions is difficult, the 1917 Messines mines detonation was probably the largest planned explosion in history prior to the Trinity atomic weapon test in July 1945 and the largest non-nuclear planned explosion before the British explosive efforts on the Heligoland Islands in April 1947. With approximately 10,000 killed, the Messines detonation is history's deadliest non-nuclear man-made explosion.

And then you wonder why you do not get treated with respect by the membership and most Moderators.

You apparently want to be treated like the donkey rear that you act like.

Wow. I had no idea there were even remnants of the trenches like that.
Amazing.

wow, stay classy there buddy. you don't seem to like any posts that
have anything to do with the middle east or islam. your warped
view on these topics have been made known in P&N, where
everyone knew what type of one-sided 'mod' you were.
amdhunter and I are about 10 steps above you - and that's saying a
lot. it is past time to grow up, EK. do it. :\

Certain posters choose to act like idiots. Now I am free to state such. As a mod, I had to walk a thin careful line.

The words you, yours apply to all that fall into the category, not just the poster above.
You want to act childish in attempt to get attention, be my guest. As entertaining as it may be to some, it also demonstrates your shallowness.

When your stories do not line up, you get called on it. Then you wonder and create another thread complaining you get no respect.

Respect has to be earned, class clowns on the end do not become professional. That takes dedication and effort.

Idiots do not have such, they love to brag to cover up their failures and insecurities.

amazing that they were preserved and not found until now.

OH MY GOD. that is fricken insane. I haven't read much on WW1 but that sounds rather interesting.

Trench warfare sounds insane. thousands would make charges just to fail and die. This story is rather amazing in what they did witch lead to them winning that battle.

OH MY GOD. that is fricken insane. I haven't read much on WW1 but that sounds rather interesting.

Waggy, even more interesting is the fact that they had 21 trenches buried at that site, with thousands of pounds of explosive in each. Of the 21, only 19 were actually triggered. One was set off by lightning in 1955, killing a cow in the process, and the last was discovered by the Germans and was never set off nor found after the explosion .. ITS STILL DOWN THERE !!
