Solar_Crimson 07/25/18 8:40:52 AM #1:	https://imgur.com/a/du0gMC2 https://imgur.com/TMi4wvg This photo was taken in July 1913 by French photographer Albert Kahn. Albert Kahn was a millionaire banker who pioneered color photography using the process invented by the Lumire brothers. During his trip through exotic countries, Albert Kahn visited Mongolia where he took this picture of a woman who was condemned to slow and painful starvation by being deposited in a remote desert inside a wooden crate that was to become her tomb. Initially the bowls on the ground had water in it, though was not intentionally refilled, and the person inside was allowed to beg for food which often just prolonged their suffering as they generally didnt get enough food for the passersby. The photographer had to leave her in the box because it would be against a prime directive of anthropologists to intervene in another cultures law and order system. The photo was first published in the 1922 issue of National Geographic under the caption Mongolian prisoner in a box. It was the publishers who made the claim that the woman was condemned to die of starvation as a punishment for adultery. Since then, many people expressed doubts over the story, although the authenticity of the photo is undisputed. Immurement (from Latin im- in and mrus wall; literally walling in) is a form of imprisonment, usually for life, in which a person is placed within an enclosed space with no exits. This includes instances where people have been enclosed in extremely tight confinement, such as within a coffin. When used as a means of execution, the prisoner is simply left to die from starvation or dehydration. Immurement was practiced in Mongolia as recently as the early 20th century. It is not necessarily clear that all thus immured were meant to die of starvation, though. In a newspaper report from 1914, it is written: ..the prisons and dungeons of the Far Eastern country contain a number of refined Chinese shut up for life in heavy iron-bound coffins, which do not permit them to sit upright or lie down. These prisoners see daylight for only a few minutes daily when the food is thrown into their coffins through a small hole. Kind of sad, especially if her crime was something as relatively minor as adultery. Though I wonder if her extramarital partner was punished if that was the case? --- Be wary of boarding the hype train, lest you end up on the ruse cruise... - nanobuilder (r/nintendo) http://backloggery.com/SolarCrimson <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:905687237] in Photo of a...

I don't get this. Why not try to do the right thing, regardless of what the culture is? Because "the right thing" is not always what you think it is. Interfering in other cultures can have dire effects, plus it ruins the work of an anthropologist. Think about seeing a bird that's on deaths doorstep, seems like the right thing to do. But then maybe that teaches the birds to come to people for food, which can go wrong in all kinds of ways, and might even flip the ecosystem on it's head if you do it enough. It's pretty much one of those deals where you just have to trust that the people who are experts in this field know what they're talking about. Otherwise you'll have to dedicate some time to studying anthropology to learn why they are forbidden from interfering in nature as well as other cultures. --- Now you can't call me a sigless user. <cite>nicklebro posted [p:905688925] in Photo of a...

Pow Pow Punishment 07/25/18 11:00:18 AM #32:	"The photographer had to leave her in the box because it would be against a prime directive of anthropologists to intervene in another cultures law and order system." F* that. Some aspects of all human cultures are hideous and should be battled whenever possible.
