We at HistoryColored have decided to curate 50 interesting, rare and iconic photos from history. There are many reasons why a photograph may be featured on this list. Some of the reasons include: it was the first time something was ever captured on camera, it shows a famous figure from history, the image depicts an important historical event, it is a “rare” photo that does not get shared as much as it should, or it is an “iconic” historical photo. It may not fall under any of these categories but can still be featured in this list for a different reason.
These photographs are in no particular order. They have been curated and added to the list over a long period of time, so no decision was taken on how they should be ordered. Be sure to take the time to check out every historical photograph featured on this list!

A farmer comes across military equipment hidden on his land. When he finds out who owns it, he is completely astonished
Cory, a hardworking farmer, unexpectedly inherited a difficult land due to its rugged terrain. Little did he know that this seemingly unremarkable plan concealed a secret that would change his life forever.
While exploring his new property last week, Cory came across a strange metal object that turned out to be military equipment. He took photos of his discovery and reached out to an old friend, a general, who was both amazed and unsure of what to do next.
The general’s reaction was shocking. “Cory, you must leave the area quietly,” he warned. “You were not meant to find this.” Cory was both confused and intrigued by the general’s words.
Undeterred, Cory continued his investigation, discovering bizarre objects along the way. Today’s discovery, however, exceeded all expectations: a capsule of World War II-era military equipment buried deep in his land. Cory could hardly believe what he had discovered.
He quickly took more photos and called his friend the general, who soon called back to order him to clear the site, revealing that his discovery was linked to a covert operation.
Initially baffled, Cory soon understood the significance of this revelation. He deciphered the coordinates on the device, located a place deep in the Utah woods, and felt the urge to find out the truth.
Traveling through picturesque villages and dense forests, Cory encountered unusual wildlife and eventually discovered an abandoned bunker. Inside, he found a notebook belonging to JG, the capsule’s owner, full of memories from his time as a soldier in World War II.
When Cory returned home with newfound information, he contacted JG’s family and learned that he had been missing since the war. Decades later, the family gained closure and was eventually reunited with some of his belongings.
Cory’s unexpected journey from farming to solving a World War II mystery shows how curiosity can reveal hidden stories in even the most unremarkable landscapes.
