Colour photographs from the German Front Line: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/3460206/The-first-colour-photographs-from-the-German-front-line-during-World-War-One.html Many colour photographs from the Great War...

Thank you for the link. These truly are haunting images, captivating yet so very difficult to look at. The uneasy feelings these images bring up in me almost make me glad that my memories of the Great War are so hazy, even though it is the life I feel most connected to at present. I'm not yet...

Don't want to turn this into the Shakespeare Thread or anything, but thought everyone might be interested in this series from the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/r4shakespeare Although it takes the view the Shakespeare wrote the plays, it does give a good overview of the times. They...

this may be the first time I've managed to validate something. The first memory I managed to access was via a self-regression. I've written about it before, but basically I was by the docks at the beginning of the Great War, helping to load horses onto a ship. I remember seeing something like...

Hello Whippoorwill. There is always something affirming about finding and talking to others who were around at the same time as ourselves. Talking about these things with like-minded people here on the forum really does help to start to make sense of everything we are feeling and experiencing...

Whippoorwill, thank you so much for sharing your story. It has really touched many of us, including myself. I couldnt stop thinking about it all yesterday; it was touching to hear a story of the Great War from the perspective of those left behind. I also suffered loss in the Great War; I...

As a Brit born and bred, I just thought I'd add that crossing the 7 is quite rare here. I've never done it and have only come across a few people who do. I'd guess maybe 1 in 10 people here cross their 7s. however, Wikipedia has this to say about crossing the 7, which would explain the...

I'm not sure, but in the Royal Navy at the time it was general practice to bury bodies at sea for hygiene reasons. Thats why it was considered exceptional for Lord Nelson to be preserved in a barrel of brandy after he was killed at Trafalgar to be brought home for burial

this was definately happening in the 1850s. ex-slaves and freed slaves working on the Panama Canal had to endure terrible conditions, and as a result workers suffered high mortality rates, so high that burial was not always possible, so bodies were burnt and buried at sea, or were went to...

Hi Lynnette, Had a feeling the Skara Brae connection may be a bit tenuous, was just the first thing that popped into my head! :) Your new post really has rung some bells for me, with different levels of heat across the different compartments, but I can't remember where I've come across...

My first thought on reading your post was of Skara Brae, a Neolithic village in the Orkneys, Scotland: http://www.orkneyjar.com/history/skarabrae/ Your description reminded me of the storage dresser in one of the houses, which is completely made of stone slabs. However, can't seem to find...

From what I've heard of baboons, the males can be pretty agressive when protecting their families, wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of one! The males have also been known to hunt and eat antelope fauns. Big Walker must have been a very intimidating guy to have become leader of his troop...

Skin tones are difficult to judge, as they don’t fossilise, and as far as I know, there hasn’t been any DNA analysis of fossil hominids looking at skin tones. But its generally agreed that the earliest humans (H. sapiens) out of Africa would have retained their dark-skin colouration, possibly...

well, depending on how far back you go, it could possibly be Europe in an inter-glacial period. If you go back to around 500,000 years ago, there were hippos and hyenas as far north as Britain! Barbary Macaques (the monkeys that are found on the Rock of Gibraltar) have a fossil record across...

Thank you for the pointers Chris! :D After so many years of just being interested and curious, it took a lot of courage to try the self-regression, had been putting it off for a long time, was a little afraid I think. Getting these memories/imaginings/whatever they are, is a little un-nerving...

Glad to hear you all enjoyed the link :) I've had an 'affinity' with the Great War for a while now, various things have drawn me towards it over th years, but only really in passing. I had a few hunches about what this may all mean, so I tried a youtube self-regression the other day to see if...

Just my two-penneth, but I'd like to say I agree with what everyone has said. The harder you try, the more the memories are blocked. i've been interested in past lives on-and-off for about 6 years now, but only recently got into researching my own past lives seriously in the last few months. I...
