This Abandoned Traffic Jam Has Been Sitting Here For 70 Years And It’s Stunning. (x)

Right in the middle of a small forest near Chatillon, a little village in Southern Belgium, is a graveyard of abandoned and beautiful rusty cars. These cars once belonged to US soldiers who were stationed in this region. It’s not known how they managed to acquire these beauties in the middle of the war. When World War II ended, all military troops were sent back to the US, but the cost of having all those cars shipped was way too expensive. The ranking officers decided to leave all the cars in Belgium. The cars were driven up a hill, one by one, nicely parked and somehow hidden from the outside world.

Once back home in the US, the soldiers who wanted to retrieve their car had to take personal responsibility for all costs of the shipping. Not a single car was retrieved.

Women in Ancient Egypt

Women and men in ancient Egypt enjoyed the same legal and economic rights. Women could divorce their husbands and remarry.

Women and men were also subject to the same punishments.

Women worked many of the same jobs men did, most in the fields. Life was tough, though women did live longer than men (58, 54)

Women could hold political office, with several examples of female pharaohs available. There were at least 5, not including the Cleopatras and other Greek rulers.

Women could also hold lower political office, with many being scribes.

Women who were on their periods were considered to be removing impurities. They were excused from work and forbidden from some religious areas.
