Fascinating Historical Photos That Could Expand Your Knowledge of Our World

Signing off, 1934

Old pictures combine two elements that curious minds like – history and photography. But have you ever wondered why you like looking at pictures more than written history? Why is that volume of World History so boring and less informative when it doesn’t have any photographs in it? That's because our brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text, making it easier to learn through visual stimuli. With the help of online communities such as Historical Pictures, we can keep learning more about our history and planet. It's a Facebook group where people post fascinating images from the past. "Going back to the past. Exploring Earth's true history," the group admin's bio claims.
