10. An Opium den in Singapore, 1941
In the photo, Opium smokers in Singapore can be seen relaxing in a sparsely furnished opium den. This suggests that the clientele was mostly working class. The dens were a place where you would do opium, hangout then do more opium. The social impact was damaging and some addicts sold their possessions to feed the habit. Most of the men ended up becoming homeless due to the addiction.
11. Princeton sophomores after a brutal snowball fight, 1893.
This unhappy photograph taken in 1893, shows three members of Princeton showing off their battered faces. This is after they participated in the traditional yearly freshman/ sophomore snowball fight. They must have added some unsafe ingredients to their snowball recipe that year.
12. The unbroken seal on King Tutankhamun’s tomb, 1922
This was actually a seal to King Tut’s fifth shrine. He was buried in a series of four sarcophangi that were kept inside a series of five shrines. This is the seal to the fifth shrine hence not a room at all. The seal remained untouched for 3,245 years.
