The head of the Swedish king dead Carlos XII, killed in 1718 by a projectile as he inspected the lines of his troops during the siege of Fredriksten in Norway.

The shot hit the left side of the skull and out the right.

These photos were taken during an autopsy of 1917.

The siege of Fredriksten (Norwegian: Beleiringen av Fredriksten festning) was an attack on the Norwegian fortress of Fredriksten in the city of Fredrikshald (now Halden) by King Charles XII of Sweden. While inspecting his troops' lines, Charles XII was killed by a projectile. The Swedes broke off the siege, and the Norwegians held the fortress. Along with the Treaty of Nystad three years later, the death of Charles XII marked the end of the imperial era in Sweden, and the beginning of the Age of Liberty (Swedish: Frihetstiden) in that country.

King Charles XII of Sweden made several campaigns into the city during the Great Northern War (Swedish: Stora nordiska kriget) as part of his campaign to capture Norway. At the close of the Great Northern War, the Norwegian Army had been weakened in early 1716 by withdrawal of 5000 of the best troops to Denmark. When rumors reached Christiania (now Oslo) that Charles XII was preparing to invade, all remaining troops in Østerdal and Gudbrandsdal were ordered to the border at Halden and Fredrikstad. The Norwegians expected Swedish forces to invade at Kongsvinger, Basmo and/or Halden.

It was at Basmo Fortress (Basmo festning) where Charles struck, crossing the border March 8, 1716. The Norwegian scorched earth policy and guerrilla raid interdiction of supply chains by the residents of Bohuslen deprived Charles of supplies, while the fortresses still held by the Norwegians behind his lines threatened his supply chain. Charles took Christiania (now Oslo), but without heavy siege artillery, was unable to take Akershus Fortress.

After a brief occupation, Charles retraced his steps to the Norwegian fortresses in southeastern Norway with the objective of capturing Frederiksten. This would remove the threat at his back, and the fortifications could serve as the base for a renewed offensive later that year. Capturing the harbours at the mouth of the Glomma river would also allow him to land the necessary provisions for a successful siege of Akershus Fortress. 

Charles' troops attempted to take Frederiksten by storm on July 4th. His troops took the town after fierce fighting, but the citizens set fire to their own houses, forcing Charles, unable to take the fortress, to retreat and await the arrival of heavy siege guns. Unfortunately for the invading army the entire Swedish transport fleet was captured or destroyed by the Norwegian naval hero Peter Wessel Tordenskjold (1690-1720) at the Battle of Dynekilen (Slaget om Dynekilen) in Bohuslen. Running low on supplies, Charles retreated hastily across the Svinesund and burned the bridges behind him. By July 12, 1716 all Swedish troops had been withdrawn from the area around Fredriksten.

Charles came again to besiege the fortress in autumn of 1718 with 40,000 men. He did this intending to first capture Fredriksten fortress to be able to sustain a siege of Akershus. By first taking the border areas, Charles wished to avoid a repeat of the fiasco he had suffered two years before. The 1,400 strong garrison of Frederiksten fought ferociously to hold back the invasion, but suffered a severe setback when, on December 8th the forward fortification, Gyldenløve fort, at Fredriksten fell. Encouraged by their very hard-fought success the Swedish army intensified their efforts against the main fort.[citation needed]

The Swedish trenches had almost reached the main fortification walls when on the evening of December 11th (Swedish calendar: November 30), 1718, a projectile (probably a large musket ball or grapeshot) struck Charles XII through the left temple while he inspected the trench-works and killed him. The death of the king effectively ended the attack on Fredriksten and the invasion was called off, leading to the conclusion of the war.

How I Missed My Future Husband” – Nigerian Lady (Photo)

I checked in for my flight that cold misty morning… After surviving a break failure… (story for another day) It was drizzling. This raining season must have been heart broken and is taking out its anger on mankind. I wanted to wear something simple, like a very short skirt and sheer top but changed my mind and wore an up and down Ankara peplon top and straight trousers. I even had a Jean jacket in my bag, just incase. The weather ain’t no body’s Friend. After checking in my luggage, I made my way to the departure lounge, with my ticket and ID card in hand. I sat down and brought out my phone to call mum. A few minutes later, I was done with the call. I looked up and saw this guy. Heigod! Usually, I don’t stare at people, no matter how handsome, fine, or gorgeous you are. I look once or twice and look away. Always. But this time, I stared. He had just passed the annoying security check, where you had to remove jewelries and shoes. He wore a black trouser, a light blue polo and a black j...

Check out this Greek bronze Phrygian helmet (late Classical to early Hellenistic period, circa 350-300 B.C.)

The Phrygian helmet, also known as the Thracian helmet, was a type of helmet that originated in Classical Greece and was widely used in Thrace, Dacia, Magna Graecia and the Hellenistic world until well into the Roman Empire. The name given to this type of helmet are derived from its shape, in particular the high and forward inclined apex, in which it resembles the caps (usually of leather) habitually worn by Phrygian and Thracian peoples. The Phrygian helmet was worn by Macedonian cavalry in King Philip’s day (r. 359-336 BC) but his son Alexander (the Great) is said to have preferred the open-faced Boeotian helmet for his cavalry, as recommended by Xenophon.  The Phrygian helmet is prominently worn in representations of the infantry of Alexander the Great’s army, such on the contemporary Alexander sarcophagus The Phrygian helmet was in prominent use at the end of the Classical Era and into the Hellenistic period, replacing the earlier Corinthian type from the 5th century BC.

Could Ancient Peruvians Really Know How To Melt Stone Blocks?

Could Ancient Peruvians Really Know How To Melt Stone Blocks? The idea of a plant material melting stone looks implausible, the theory and science are gaining traction. Why couldn’t the ancient Peruvians cut a stone to look like this if a Spanish artist could do it today? Scientists and archaeologists are trying to figure out how odd ancient Peruvian structures like the Sacsahuamán Complex were built. These magnificent structures are composed of enormous stones that our modern technology cannot move or arrange properly. Read more Is the answer a special plant that allowed ancient Peruvians to soften the stone, or were they aware of a mystery advanced old technology that could liquefy stones? According to investigators Jan Peter de Jong, Christopher Jordan, and Jesus Gamarra, the stone walls at Cuzco show indications of being heated to a high temperature and vitrified, making the exterior glossy – and incredibly smooth. In Spain, an artist may create works of art that look ...
