@realDonaldTrump DJT, you're the best president by far in US history!!! Please fix our broken healthcare system once you come up for air from the more urgent matters. Insurance should not be in the drivers seat, patents and doctors should, and costs have gotten crazy high!

@histories_arch Apparently the Smithsonian was founded to find and remove all evidence that there existed giants, many buried in these types of mounds. Perhaps this information rattles the "official adopted" darwinian perspective, a not so little unaccounted for discrepancy. So much for science

Beneath a quiet West Virginia mound, archaeologists found eleven people laid around one central burial, a pattern so deliberate it still unsettles the imagination. What makes Criel Mound linger in the mind is not simply its age, but the care buried inside it. Deep beneath the earth, eleven people were found together at the base, arranged around one central burial in a layout that looked intentional, ceremonial, and impossible to dismiss as random. That arrangement is the detail people remember, because it suggests a community making a statement in earth and ritual. Ten individuals surrounded the central figure, and the finds around that middle burial made excavators believe this person held unusual importance. Today the mound stands in South Charleston, but long before streets and businesses surrounded it, this was part of a much larger ceremonial landscape in the Kanawha Valley. The mound was once among extensive earthworks that stretched for miles on both sides of the river, evidence that this was not an isolated monument but part of a broader sacred geography. Archaeologists generally connect the mound to the Adena world, with the West Virginia Encyclopedia placing such builders in the Ohio and Kanawha drainages between roughly 1000 and 200 B.C. The commonly repeated estimate for Criel Mound itself is around 250 to 150 B.C., though some older nomination language also noted a mingling of Adena and Hopewell traits in the material recovered there. Even in altered form, the mound still conveys scale. Sources describe it as about 33 feet high after historic damage, making it one of the largest surviving burial mounds in West Virginia and second only to Grave Creek Mound in the state. But Criel Mound was not left untouched by the modern world. Before the Smithsonian excavations, its summit had already been leveled for a bandstand or judges’ stand, tied to a racetrack that once circled the mound, so by the time investigators arrived part of the original form had already been lost. That loss matters, because every change to a mound like this erases context that can never be fully restored. What survives is precious not because it is complete, but because it endured despite being treated for years as scenery, usable land, and public space rather than as an irreplaceable archive of Native history. In late 1883, Smithsonian investigators began cutting a shaft from the top down toward the original ground surface. Near the upper levels they found burials at shallow depths, and the associated artifacts led later interpreters to believe those upper interments were intrusive and from a later period rather than part of the mound’s first use. Then came a long stretch of earth with no major discovery. Only when excavators neared the base, roughly 31 feet down, did the original burial deposit appear and reveal the moment for which the mound had first been raised. The dead at the bottom were found on a prepared setting of bark and ash, then covered with another layer of bark. Postmolds and structural traces suggested some form of tomb or vault, which helps explain why this was understood as a formal, deliberate burial event rather than a casual accumulation of graves. The central burial drew the most attention, and not only because of position. Copper near the head, shell beads, and weapon points were associated with that individual, while some of the surrounding burials had fewer or no objects, creating a pattern of difference that likely reflected status, role, or ceremony. Older retellings often fixate on the size of the person in the center. Some sources and later retellings describe a skeleton around 6 feet or even 6 feet 8 3/4 inches long, but the West Virginia Encyclopedia stresses that Norris reported the individuals as adults of medium size, and the National Register form itself warns that the extreme height may have been exaggerated by pressure from the earth. #archaeohistories

@Ay2_ai @telesurenglish Yes true. Both sides are important but one side is evil, the other needs help.

@Bobbygromit @telesurenglish At some point people should look at the addicts… that will do anything to get their hands on a fix. Without demand, there would be no supply. There will always be people willing to make illegal drugs and sell them. People really need to start thinking of the problems within.

A message from Venezuela to the world, and to the United States: Venezuela reaffirms its commitment to peace and peaceful coexistence. Our country aspires to live without external threats, in an environment of respect and international cooperation. We believe that global peace is built by first guaranteeing peace within each nation. We prioritise moving towards balanced and respectful international relations between the United States and Venezuela, and between Venezuela and other countries in the region, premised on sovereign equality and non-interference. These principles guide our diplomacy with the rest of the world. We invite the US government to collaborate with us on an agenda of cooperation oriented towards shared development within the framework of international law to strengthen lasting community coexistence. President Donald Trump, our peoples and our region deserve peace and dialogue, not war. This has always been President Nicolás Maduro’s message, and it is the message of all of Venezuela right now. This is the Venezuela I believe in and have dedicated my life to. I dream of a Venezuela where all good Venezuelans can come together. Venezuela has the right to peace, development, sovereignty, and a future. Delcy Rodriguez Acting President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela

@khamenei_ir The last thing the US wants is to devour Iran. We want peace across the world where individuals have freedoms. We see mass killings as evil, a desperate act of a fearful leader to hold onto power. Why not respect your people? This is the hope - freedom without fear.

The recent sedition was orchestrated by the US. The US did the planning and took action. The US’s goal is to devour Iran.

@pavenyc @FT Fascism is a lefty movement from its beginnings, the French revolution. Its naziism without the racism. Well known.

@FT Learn from a ‘right wing Fascist’?? I DON’T THINK SO!!

Opinion: Italy, often dismissed as Europe's weak link in the past, has become a success story. And this is shown clearly in the verdict of investors. on.ft.com/44pgSrb

@zarif0223 @archeohistories All cultures ruin other cultures...its history of the human race. natives killed other natives and took their land too, but looks like we have social democrat here, hates religion. Blames it allnon religion. Wake up pal, its human nature, not one religion or another.

@archeohistories Jewish and Christian always ruined natives land

In early 1900s, one of the most important trees in the eastern U.S., the American chestnut, was wiped out almost completely. It was everywhere across Appalachia. People built homes and barns from it, ate its nuts, and relied on it like no other tree. But by the time this photo of the Shelton family was taken around 1920, they were standing next to a dead giant, one of the last of its kind. The killer? A foreign fungus called Cryphonectria parasitica that showed up in New York in 1904. The chestnut had no natural defense against it, and the fungus spread fast, 50 miles a year, until it had infected nearly every tree. By the 1950s, about 4 billion American chestnuts were gone. Even before that, another disease had already been hurting chestnuts in southern areas. The tree was being attacked from all sides. Today, oaks and hickories fill the gap, but none had the same impact. The chestnut’s death wasn’t just an environmental loss, it changed the entire culture and ecosystem of Appalachia. © Reddit #archaeohistories
