1964 U.S.A. Cigarette Stocks Fall
12th January, 1964 : Cigarette stock had lowered value during this time, as in other times during which it was made public that cigarettes were a health hazard. The lowering of cigarette stocks actually started in June of 1954, when two doctors had reported that the death rate in certain ages of men who smoke was higher than those who do not. However, there was a period of time when cigarette stocks rose considerably again. Then, in 1962, they began to plummet again.
Tobacco manufacturers responded to the cigarette health hazard in different ways, as well as the drop in stock prices. For example, a new filter-tipped cigarette was introduced during this time, which is what most people smoke today.

Egypt
1984 Egypt Great Pyramids
12th January, 1984 : It was a struggle for quite a few years to restore some of the Great Pyramids in Egypt. However, when pyramid restores began to use the method of interlocking blocks as the ancient Egyptians did the project progress quite a bit more smoothly.
The decision to revert back to the historic Egyptian building practices was more than likely inspired by the fact that the modern-day brick-and-mortar method did not hold up against water damage. Therefore, just a few years after the repaired work done on the Sphinx in 1981 new “old methods” of construction were practiced.
