Great Pics Found By Phlebas And Other

[Damian]

Hi all, been preoccupied in other things, hope all are well and going into Spring which we are in Southern Europe. How real is this?, it's doing the rounds on other places as a picture from "The Vatican Archives" and is purported to be documentary evidence of mass female crucifixion in the Armenian Genocide.

Not real in itself, it is however a still from a film about the real Armenian Genocide made in about 1919 based on a book called Ravished Armenia with which it commonly shares a name otherwise known as Auction of Souls. Most of the film's footage has since been lost though some has been preserved and can be seen in various forms on YouTube and elsewhere

Being an example

The film itself may be considered a drama documentary and thus the stills bandied about are not in themselves evidence though there is ample other evidence of the 1915 Armenian Genocide extant.

Ah yes, the marvelous Arminian crux stills. There are several more as well as this one, some close ups on upper bodies and faces too. Don't have them to hand.
The question of their authenticity comes around as regularly as the seasons
They've been floating around the web for a long time.


Anyway, some random crux for today

Phlebas, This is one wicked image. I don't think I have every seen a crux scene like this.

At least she get's to suffer with some companions.
The artwork looks to be from a familiar artist, but I do not know the name. Any ideas?

the marvelous Arminian crux stills

pedantic point, in the interests of historical accuracy,
Arminians were a different bunch from Armenians -
followers of the teachings of Dutch theologian Jacobus Arminius 1560-1609,
they had a hard time of it, but they weren't ever crucified. ​

She let Lance Armstrong give her a golden shower in his 'glory' days?

Yes, sorry, not ignorance but carelessness on my part. I seem to be prone to ever more typos these days. Is it because I am rushing, as I am now (dinnertime!).
Or is it creeping senility
You decide dear reader.
(just fixed two in the text above!)

A pic offered in penitence (that name is interesting, where have I heard that before, Tree?)

Thanks for this, I hadn't seen it. Tragic real story though that we are remembering actual events that happened just 100 years ago, and pretty young women were certainly given attention, no doubt. I was surprised to hear that Kurdish gendarmes as well as others in the areas took part in the action, maybe they are paying for it in another way with their troubles. Some of the footage looks documentary I must say.

Never heard of the band, northern Europeans most likely. Can't say I liked the "music" but the girls are just right!
