Picture of the day

The Rock Springs massacre occurred in 1885 in the present-day United States city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The riot, and resulting massacre of immigrant Chinese miners by white immigrant miners, was the result of racial prejudice toward the Chinese miners, who were perceived to be taking jobs from the white miners. The Union Pacific Coal Department found it economically beneficial to give preference in hiring to Chinese miners, who were willing to work for lower wages than their white counterparts, angering the white miners. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. Rioters burned 78 Chinese homes, resulting in approximately $150,000 in property damage (equal to $5.09 million in 2020 terms). The massacre in Rock Springs touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence, especially in the Puget Sound area of Washington Territory.Artwork credit: Thure de Thulstrup; restored by Adam Cuerden

Amusement: Don't these two resemble each other? Sculpture of Ramesess II (the Great) and pornstar Jenny Hendrix (aka Hot Haley)? She resembles him more in some pictures than in others.

Somehow the mummy identified as Ramesess II doesn't resemble the sculpture, does he? True there is an age difference between the sculpture and the mummy, but still. One of the fine skills of the human brain is recognizing other people from their faces.
