I would say a lot of columb B. It makes sense for guards to be big, for intimidation alone. After all, the best case is that the guards don't need to fight at all, but keep people with their mere presence from doing something stupid. Being big and imposing is certainly a desirable trait.
According to this article the guards are 2.23m / 7'4" and 2.36m / 7'9" tall. The taller one on the right is standing a bit closer to the camera, so I'll use the other one to measure the prof. Allowing for a bit of imprecision since it's hard to tell exactly where the guard's heel and head are under his clothing, I get the prof being 80% of the guard's height. This puts him at a pretty ordinary 1.79m / 5'10"
One of the giants was 7’9” tall (2.36 m) while the “shorter” one was a mere 7’4” tall (2.23 m) and according to various sources they were indeed twin brothers. They created quite an impression at the Durbar as they literally stood heads and shoulders above the rest. The brothers were known as the Two Kashmir Giants and were elite riflemen in the service of the Maharaja. rarehistoricalphotos.com/kashmir-giants/
Castration is an interesting theory, but it looks closer to a growth hormone cause. That said, there are around 3000 people alive today that are as tall without any such cause.
Fernandez would be one of many who fought against the Japanese occupation in the Philippines. Barefoot and wearing mostly a frock, she began recruiting native men that numbered 110.[3] Her group initially only had three American rifles, relying mostly on homemade grenades, explosives, bolo knives, and single-shot pipe shotguns that fired nails.[1] Later on, they acquired Japanese weapons and more American guns.[3] South of Tacloban became the place where Fernandez and her guerrillas conducted their war.
She earned the name “Captain Fernandez” and “The Silent Killer” due to her exploits.[1] She trained her men vigorously in manufacturing weapons and conducting ambushes. She herself was knowledgeable in the use of the bolo during stealth, even demonstrating it to the Americans who had met her.[3] Her actions cost the Japanese, killing 200 of their men, and forcing them to place a bounty of P10,000 for her head.[2] She was wounded three times, bearing a scar on her forehead.
The Philippines was finally liberated from Japanese occupation in 1945. It is unknown what happened to Nieves Fernandez in the years afterwards, although it's said that she lived to her nineties in Tacloban with her sons and grandchildren.[9]
Israeli civilians are not the same as neonazis. Please avoid conflating the actions of the Israeli government with the actions of civilians, or approving of antisemitic mob violence.
Today Sancho is best known as a composer, writer, actor and opponent of slavery.
After his death his letters were published.
In it, Sancho recounts his life, an early account of enslavement, written from the perspective of an enslaved person.
One of the largest traumas as a child is losing your parents. It is more like an unconscious bond you lose so you will be scarred for your life without you actually knowing.
It is not “better” for a few months old, it is worse from a psychological standpoint.
There are occurences (Mate Gabor forexample) of children coming to have distrustful personalities because they were separated from their mother for a few weeks when they were like few months old.
I cant exactly quote Mate Gabor, but it literally means you can be 50+ years old, someone fails to do what he/she said he/she will do and you cant stand to talk to the person for days or weeks. Its literally hardcoded into you.
If I had a time machine I'll just go to the past and tell them: "I come from the future to tell you that we have built a web that allow us to immediately share our thoughts across the globe interconnecting humanity, and We all think you suck" then jump onto my machine and disappear into another time to spread the message.
