First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.
All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
Hello guys and welcome to another episode with Snapshots from History, taking us on a photographic journey into the past.
- I honestly believed this photograph of a Zebra carriage was somehow manipulated in Photoshop. However, it turns out that people in the 19th and early 20th century really did try to domesticate Zebras. In this picture, Mr. Hardy, a well-known horse rider and trainer, is riding a Zebra carriage through the streets of London in 1898. While it has been claimed that it is possible to tame individual zebras, attempts to domesticate zebras have been mainly ineffective, and they have been abandoned.
- This picture has been taken in 1947 of 1 year old Farrokh Bulsara and his nanny in Zanzibar. 25 years later the world would know him as Freddie Mercury.
