They say history has a way of repeating itself. Good thing there are pictures if it doesn\u2019t, as we\u2019re pretty sure a lot of the historic events in our past would best not be repeated and kept buried. From famous and important persons in our history remembered either for their achievements and contribution to the world, or for their notoriety (for some), they have transcended time, their memories kept alive to this day. There are events, whether recent or from decades ago, that have shaped the world into what it is today, making civilization stronger and pushing it forward. Or at least make for more interesting times.<\/h6>\n
There are times, though, when words simply can\u2019t put justice or describe the moment captured in a photo, especially when it involves people, but it at least gives us a glimpse when it\u2019s etched in history and made immortal. Thank goodness for the invention of the camera.<\/h6>\n
These are some of the rarest photos in history as it gets captured just at the right moment.<\/strong>
