As photography emerged, Egypt and the pyramids were a popular subject. Cool side effect - we get to see the Great Sphinx of Giza as it was being excavated. 🗃️🧵 For centuries it had been just a head sticking above the sand. Left: 1822 illustration Right: photo by Maxime du Camp, 1849

Black and white illustration from 1922. The neck and head of the sphinx rises out of the foreground sand on the left of the image. two people stand in the shadow near the neck, and three others stand farther away in the shadow. one is pointing up at the sphinx. The pyramids are seen beyond a rise in the background, on the right. The title above the image reads "Pyramides de memphis" and the caption below reads "vue due sphinx et de la grande pyramide. prise du sud-est."

Black and white photograph from 1849. The Sphinx is in the foreground, with its chest bared out of the sand. the rest of it is still submerged. in the background to the left of the head, two pyramids stand on the horizon.

On This Day in History: October 2, 1968 Artist Marcel Duchamp died unexpectedly. His works sparked a GIANT conversation about what art could be. We live in a world where the line between artist and idea is constantly shifting. That world didn’t build itself. Duchamp helped clear the ground.

#OTD in 1944, the Seattle Times reports on an incident involving boy's breaking into the belongings of former Japanese American residents. The boys snuck into a storeroom at a Japanese-owned hotel and broke into several personal trucks. The boys were apprehended by local police. 🗃 #skystorians

"Prowling Boys Find Suspected Jap Propaganda"
How 15 Seattle boys, 8 to 14 years of age, spent four days prowling a little-used storeroom of a Japanese-owned hotel at 306 Sixth Ave. S., and uncovered a cache of what police believe may be pre-Pearl Harbor Japanese propaganda, was disclosed by juvenile authorities here yesterday The youngsters finally were apprehended when A. J. Holben, manager, became suspicious of recurring strange noises he heard coming from the back of the hotel. When he investigated he found the boys using an ax to break open the stored trunks of evacuated Japanese.

The bovs fled, but several were arrested by police a few blocks away.
Questioned by Capt. G. W. Kimball, head of the Junior Safety Division, the captured youths implicated their companions The boys related to Kimball lurid tales of findine Japanese literature, machine-gun bullets, cartridge belts and rolls of film.
Detective Lieut. C. E. Neuser, head of the national defense detail, reported the film was of a "highly questionable nature,'' and that a further investigation of it will be necessary.
The ammunition and cartridge belts were found to be of American manufacture, and Neuser said the literature was "harmless" and consisted mostly of American-published books.
The Seattle Times, October 1, 1944
