EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into history with the depiction of HASHISH & ASSASSINS from the 13th century. The image showcases THE OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN as he drugs his corps of assassins with hashish, inspiring them with dreams of the houris they will encounter in Heaven after death. The use of hashish to manipulate and motivate individuals towards carrying out acts of violence is a chilling reminder of the power that mind-altering substances can hold over people. In this historical context, it is both intriguing and disturbing to witness how beliefs about an afterlife filled with heavenly rewards could be used to drive individuals towards committing extreme actions. The intricate details captured in this print offer a window into a time when religious fervor and manipulation were intertwined with political agendas and power struggles. It serves as a stark reminder of how easily individuals can be swayed by promises of paradise or visions induced by drugs. Overall, this image provides a thought-provoking insight into the complexities of human nature and the lengths to which some may go in pursuit of their beliefs or desires. It stands as a testament to the enduring impact that history continues to have on our understanding of society today.
