Old 1945 Footage of the Atomic Bomb


 

Shortly after the end of the war an American mission was sent to Japan, to report on the destruction wrought by the atomic bombs. The mission, organized by the Manhattan Engineer District, included engineers and medical officers and a few scientists. This film portrays some of the devastation they witnessed.

The footage in this particular video is more than incredible, proving the devastation the atom bomb was capable of. Monuments were virtually turned to dust and housing units, that apparently didn't meet zoning laws, barely stand erect.

Rock Art and Archaeology: Investigating Ritual Landscape in the Mongolian Altai

This film focuses on the interdisciplinary project "Rock Art and Archaeology: Investigating Ritual Landscape in the Mongolian Altai" - an archaeological, anthropological, and art historical investigation at the Biluut Petroglyph Complex in Bayan Olgi, Mongolia. Through the use of two fields seasons of video footage and seven field seasons of photos, the film seeks to provide visual and scholarly information about the wide variety of petroglyphs, burial mounds, standing stones, and other archaeological features being documented and excavated, the nomadic pastoral cultures of the region (a history which extends from the present day to pre-Bronze age eras), the region's geography and geology as a context which shaped these cultures and their practices and products, and the techniques and methodologies specifically employed by project members.
