Books are excellent resources for gaining an understanding of the past. However, the written words in history books are given greater weight than the visual representations. I do not doubt that most people would agree that gaining knowledge through observing interesting images is more entertaining than reading harsh words. After all, visuals provide a fresh viewpoint on everything that we find ourselves reading.
Take a peek at the Facebook page titled “Old Photos Of The World” if you are interested-in-learning more about the traditions and ways of life of people who lived in years gone by.
