I have been fascinated with the past all my life. Although time travel is not possible (at least, as far as I know), we can still experience it through what I call "relics of the fourth dimension." Namely, as the old saying goes, "time marches on." We can't travel in the fourth dimension, except going forward in the present, but we can follow the trail of the fourth dimension. Along the way, people lose or discard items from their being. These relics are unintentional time capsules that give us as glimpse into their lives. Here on The Time Searchers blog, I will show some relics of the past that I have run across in our present. Sometimes when I am out on a relic hunt with the Colonial Relic Hunter, we know that we are not alone. There is more than just relics at these historical sites. Indeed, it could be said that there is a portal to the past, perhaps to another dimension, where that which once was, still is. A place where the real consorts with the shadows; the present fuses with the past, on Time Searchers: Ghost Relics.

This Day in History: The Nuremberg Trials Begin

Today marks the 70th anniversary to the start of the Nuremberg war crimes trials.  This event marked the true end of World War II and the beginnings of the postwar era.  The surviving leadership of the German Third Reich were put on trial for their crimes against humanity.  Some Nazis were tried in other Courts in other countries.  Some Nazi war criminals fled and were caught later.  Like Adoff Eichmann who was tried in Israel and hanged in 1962 for crimes against humanity.  Others were never caught like Joseph Mengele.

Here's an old photograph of the judges deliberation room at Nuremberg that I pulled out of my archives.  The crimes against humanity that some of the Defendant's were convicted of are a dark lesson of history that should never be forgotten.
