coolchicksfromhistory : Fu Hao Circa 1250 BCE Art by Paula Lyzhelle ( tumblr ) Shang Dynasty King Wu Ding cemented alliances by marrying one woman from each local tribe for a total of sixty wives. The best known of these wives was Fu (Lady) Hao. The details of Fu Hao’s life are largely lost to time, but inscriptions found in her Yinxu tomb describe her impressive military career. Fu Hao led successful campaigns against the Tu-Fang, Yi, Qiang, and Ba with as many as 13,000 troops under her command. She is believed to be China’s first female general, but she is not the only military woman of her time. Oracle bones of the period name over a hundred female warriors. Oracle bone inscriptions also indicate that Wu Ding allowed Fu Hao to conduct special rituals and offer sacrifices herself. As t he Shang King controlled religious rituals, it is a sign of Wu Ding’s esteem that Fu Hao was was granted this privilege. Fu Hao’s tomb was discovered in 1976 and it is the only intact royal tomb from the Shang Dynasty. Filled with works of art, weaponry, and sixteen human sacrifices, Fu Hao’s amazing tomb is a testament to the respect she garnered during her lifetime. ...

3D food printer, circa 1956

Tweet On my previous post about space travel and 3D printers , mention was made of the Star Trek “food replicator.” But I seemed to recall that sci-fi had imagined this device much earlier than that. Indeed, in the 1956 classic “ Forbidden Planet ,” starring Walter Pidgeon , Anne Francis , and Leslie Nielsen , there is a robot that has a sort of miniature 3D food printer built into its torso. I couldn’t find a clip showing that from the actual film, but I did find this promotional short in which the robot explains how it is able to replicate food of any kind, in any amount. All that is needed is a small sample of the food — which I suppose makes it more of a 3D food copier than printer. But whatever. I thought I’d share it. Also, I refer you to a story Burl brought to our attention , about how a 3D printer saved a baby’s life. This is just astounding technology… Robbie the Robot, a pre-comedy Leslie Nielsen, and pre-”Honey West” Anne Francis (who showed her gams a LOT in this one). ...

1911 super 38 circa 1948- Nickel

Greetings to all, I was looking for a little help about this gun. It's been in my family since 1964. And it hasn't seen the light of day since the mid-80's. Dad told us he pawned it, for a canon camera back in the 80's! After mom told him to "Get that thing outta my house!". He just passed and in a box that he left for me, was a pouch and in was this super 38, and a note... Threw away the box, not the gun! Sneaky bastard! I also know it hasn't been fired since my father purchased it. I don't know if it was fired prior to 1964. After doing a little research, I believe, it was manufactured in 1948 which makes it an early post war gun and one of the first manufactured with the two tone slide. I don't know how many were made in Nickel during this time, but I'm sure it can't be to many and I'm sure that there aren't many in this condition. I'm sure the sights are an after-market piece, but still a niffty bit of craftsmanship! The sights were put on somewhere between 1948 and 1964. I want to shoot this beast SOOO bad... but...
