Intro To History 101: First Tattooed Man

Hello class this will be starting classes (series) for the history of tattoos, where they first came from, each culture's traditions, the tools and inks they had used for, etc. The first topic we are going to dive in is ‘Who was the first person to have been tattooed.` Any questions please wait until the lesson is over and comment down below.
For thousands of years people have been marking their bodies with permanent designs. There was a lot of meaning behind tattoos back then; they had served as status, religious beliefs, love, and even damnation. In fact, the oldest human who had been tattooed is believed to be from 3370 BC and 3100 BC, roughly over 5,000 years, on this ‘Iceman’ he got his nickname from where he was found. 
The ‘Iceman’ was first discovered in September 19th, 1991 by two German tourists on the Fineilspitze in the Ötztal Alps on the Austrian–Italian border. The naturally preserved and mummified man was named Otzi, he has a total of 61 tattoos that varied in different shapes and designs placed all over his body but the most tattoos he had were located on his legs. Archeologist Konrad Spindler  studied Otzi’s body and after close examination the ink that was injected into his skin was made from soot and fireash; very clean haha.
 
         

Now there have been many different eras and ages throughout our entire history that have tattoos were used for different variables. During this time there has been about 50 discoveries of tattooed mummies and remains that have been discovered. Some locations were there have been records or human remains include but not excluding: Germanic and Celtic Tribes, Egypt, India, Mongolia, Philippines, and Greenland. Some of all these discoveries date back to 2300 BC but they all link to different periods of time through ancient history.

Now the end of this lesson will follow into nexts class on February 19th, 2020, so if need be you can always come back to this post for a brief summary!

As everyone knows Ancient Egypt was another major era that dressed themselves with intricate markings on their body. There was a practice that was exclusively just for females, mummies found with tattoos were usually dismissed by male excavators who assumed the women they found were of “dubious state”. They were brushed off as, what we call today, “dancing women.” Female mummies were buried as Deir El-Bahari in a location only associated with royals and elites. 

With further studies we knew one women was to be described as the “Royal Concubine” who was actually Amunet, a Priestess of the goddess Hathor at Thebes, was found to have a number of tattooed markings on her body, which show striking correspondence with the patterns depicted on Middle Kingdom faience figurines
                                                               
Alright class we will pick everything back up on February 19th, 2020! Stay tuned for our next blog post next week “Aftercare: Piercing Edition!”

    Hello everyone here, this is the story of my life. I always knew my husband was up to something but I had no proof of this. He receives strange calls, he protects his phone jealously and would never drop it for any reason whatsoever, to the point of him taking it to the shower. This made me go online in search of ways I could remotely monitor his conversations, I tried a number of phone monitoring apps but each one of them failed to access his phone. I could not even physically access his phone, which made matters worse. I had already given up and resigned to fate when my younger sister introduced me to a hacker named REFUND POLICY they both went to the same college to help me read my husband’s messages and social medias just in case something was off, in less than a day REFUND POLICY helped me gain access to my husband’s phone remotely, I found out my husband has another wife with 2 children in another state. Last year has been the roughest of my life but now I feel relieved and working on me and my kids while the divorce papers are still in court. I just wanted to share this just incase anyone is in a situation where they don’t trust their partners anymore. There is no harm in wanting to know what your second half is into, it saves you from wasting more years of your life with people who do not deserve you. I will leave the hacker’s contacts below just incase anyone needs his services and assistance.

    My partner’s and I savings almost got lost because we decided to trade with a dubious investment website directed by a crypto broker. I was referred to CYBER GENIE INT’L by a golf buddy that had used their service already recovering his lost funds after being a victim of a romance scam. I got positive results within hours of hiring them luckily, Hence why I said we almost lost our funds to scammers. I recommend them to any person who has fallen prey to any online scam. Superb customer assistance, confidentiality, and above all, positive results. This cyber guru was very effective in guiding me on how to pursue the recovery of our funds.

    HIRE A HACKER/ RECOVERY EXPERT TO TRACE AND RECOVER STOLEN/SCAMMED CRYPTOCURRENCY ASSETS CONTACT RECOVERY MASTERS:

    Common mistake that is countlessly repeated by most cryptocurrency traders is investing in the wrong online cryptocurrency theft platforms which usually promises them huge profit on their investment only for them to end up losing all of their investments. I was also a victim of this early this year but was able to recover 95% of of my Crypto to my Trezor Wallet with the help of trusted licensed hackers
