Why don't the Russians, the larger of the two, simply eat the Japanese?
They lost
Hard to tell which ones the captive 😅
It's just a kinky scroll.
Karoitan (?) and Movoiri (?) here are apparently 2.18 and 2.12 meters tall, which is huge even by modern standards, so if those measurements are accurate, the height difference between them and their captors might not be that much of an embellishment as it looks.
Do we have independent confirmation on those measurements?
I looked some things up. This drawing depicts the Golovnin Incident and the person in front is Vasily Golovnin. Not sure how they got "Karoitan" from that, but anyway.
I can't find anything about his height, but I imagine if he really was 2.18 meters tall, it would be written down everywhere, so it's probably exaggerated.
EDIT: I misread, it's not Karoitan, it's Kahitan, meaning they thought his name was "captain".
I immediately thought this was some Star Trek parody. Those Russian uniforms are very similar. ☺️
Unfortunately we already know one of them is going to die.
Mildly Interesting
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
