Eerie Photos Not Suitable For All Viewers
You've heard that a picture is worth a thousand words, but pictures like the one here have a lot of stories to tell. These photographs give an insight into what life was like in such disparate eras as the 18th century and the 1970s. You'll see what life was like for a child in America during the Baby Boom, and how Native Americans lived long before the modern metropolis existed. These rare historical finds are not only informative, but they also offer a fun look at a time long gone, and perhaps a time you wish you could go back to. Be prepared to be surprised and read on!

The Mangbetu people, a central Sudanese culture who live in what is now the northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, have a strange and surprising tradition of head tying, also known as lipombo. The Mangbetu people are so desirous of making the human head appear longer that they bind the skulls of infants with tightly wrapped cloth, beginning when the child is about a month old and continuing until the age of three. At that young age, the bones of the baby's skull have not yet fused together so they are flexible. The Mangabetu people believe that tall skulls are a symbol of strength and intelligence.

The Great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was one of the most destructive earthquakes ever to hit the West Coast. When it happened at 5:12 a.m., no one was prepared for the chaos it would cause. The earthquake ripped from the northernmost part of the San Andreas Fault to the triple junction at Cape Mendocino. Violent punctuations of thunder shocked the San Francisco area as there was continuous silence for nearly a minute. The earthquake was so intense that it caused cracks in the ground, indicating the destructive nature of upcoming earthquakes.

As disaster struck on the morning of September 11, 2001, the Ladder 3 crew raced to the Twin Towers without thinking about what could go wrong. Captain Patrick Brown led his team to the 40th floor of the North Tower in an effort to save as many New Yorkers as possible. Unfortunately the firefighters fell down along with the skyscraper as it fell in front of the fire truck. Stairway 3 was stored at JFK International Airport for a decade until it was lowered via crane to the Memorial Museum in New York City. Covered with New York Fire Department and American flags, it now serves as a memorial to all those who bravely gave their lives to save others.

While it's absurd to think someone as musically important and fascinating as Elvis had parents, it would make more sense if he came from the mind of Zeus, like Athena. King grew up in Mississippi with his parents, Vernon and Gladys, and they all lived in low-income housing until they purchased Graceland in 1957. Elvis took the whole family with him, which is what good boys do when they make a lot of money. His mother died in 1958, leaving Elvis with his father and grandmother, who lived in Graceland. Since he was entering the army at this time, Elvis had to keep up his strength, and luckily his grandmother was there to make sure he had all the biscuits and fried peanut butter sandwiches he needed.
