Alleged Pact between Urbain Grandier and Satan, signed by several Demons. 1634.
It is written in Latin, backwards and approximately reads:
We, the influential Lucifer, the young Satan, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Elimi, and Astaroth, together with others, have today accepted the covenant pact
of Urbain Grandier, who is ours. And him do we promise
the love of women, the flower of virgins, the respect of monarchs, honors, lusts and powers.
He will go whoring three days long; the carousal will be dear to him. He offers us once
in the year a seal of blood, under the feet he will trample the holy things of the church and
he will ask us many questions; with this pact he will live twenty years happy
on the earth of men, and will later join us to sin against God. Bound in hell, in the council of demons.
Lucifer Beelzebub Satan
Astaroth Leviathan Elimi
The seals placed the Devil, the master, and the demons, princes of the lord.

A vestige of alpine warfare, an Italian cannon still stands on Cresta Croce, a 3,000-meter-high Adamello ridge
Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops clashed at altitudes up to 12,000 feet (3,600 meters) with temperatures as low as -22°F (-30°C) in the Guerra Bianca, or White War, named for its wintry theater. Never before had battles been waged on such towering peaks or in such frigid conditions. Physically climbing the mountains used many new and rudimentary practices as well. Belaying was only developed a few years earlier, and this was the initial means to get men up a mountain. Here is a photo of Austro-Hungarian troops practicing this method. One man would climb up, hammer in a “rams horn,” feed a rope through, and his buddies would use the rope to either be pulled up or guided as they climbed.Same principle applied for supplies, munitions, and artillery. Mostly relying on a series of pully systems, they would physically pull these pieces up the mountain
Gun that started I world war - Gavrilo Princip’s FN M1910 (serial number 19074)
Gavrilo Princip’s assassination of Austria-Hungary’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand is perhaps one of history’s best known assassinations. It catalysed the political, bureaucratic and martial wranglings which saw Europe’s slow descent into the Great War. Princip’s first round entered the Archduke’s neck piercing his jugular, cutting the vein and lodging itself in his spine. The .380 ACP projectile mushroomed as it struck Franz Ferdinand’s neck tissues losing its momentum before lodging in his spinal column, probably somewhere in his Cervical vertebrae. Considering how difficult to pick up theModel 1910’s sights are Princip was either extremely lucky to hit the Archduke or was a skilled snap shooter.
