The haunting sound that Roman soldiers would have heard from their Celtic enemies before battle came from the Carnyx, an ancient wind instrument used between 200 BC and 200 AD.
For centuries, stories circulated in New England about a mysterious ancient people whose graves were said to be covered in bright red pigment. They became known as the "Red Paint People," and for many years many dismissed them as little more than local folklore.
That changed in the late 19th century when archaeologists began excavating ancient burial sites in Maine. Researchers such as Charles Willoughby and Warren Moorehead uncovered hundreds of graves containing finely crafted stone tools, spear points, fishing weights, knives, and woodworking implements. Scattered throughout the burials were large quantities of red ochre, a natural iron-rich pigment that gave the culture its modern nickname.
Radiocarbon dating later revealed that these people lived along the coasts and rivers of what is now New England and Atlantic Canada between roughly 9,000 and 7,000 years ago. Rather than representing a single tribe, many archaeologists now believe they were several related hunter-gatherer groups that shared similar burial customs, particularly the ceremonial use of red ochre.
The Red Paint People were highly skilled craftspeople and seafarers. Archaeological sites show they relied heavily on marine resources, catching fish, harvesting shellfish, and even hunting large species such as swordfish from boats. Their stone and bone tools rank among the finest examples of early North American craftsmanship, while trade goods found across a wide region suggest they maintained extensive exchange networks stretching hundreds of miles.
Their most distinctive practice was covering the dead and grave goods with red ochre. Similar burial traditions have appeared in many ancient cultures around the world, where ochre often symbolized life, rebirth, or spiritual protection. Without written records, archaeologists cannot know exactly what the pigment meant to these ancient people, but its repeated use shows it held deep ceremonial importance.
Many questions about the Red Paint People remain unanswered. Their language, beliefs, and ultimate fate are unknown, and scholars continue to debate how they fit into the broader story of North America's earliest inhabitants.

🚨CALIFORNIA JUST PASSED A LAW ALLOWING NEXT OF KIN TO VOTE FOR DEAD PEOPLE IF THEY DIE WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF AN ELECTION — THE DEAD CAN LITERALLY NOW VOTE!

You can’t make this stuff up.
A new law in California now lets a person’s next of kin cast their ballot if they die within six months of a national election. The dead can literally vote in California.
A spokesperson for Gavin Newsom’s office actually defended it, saying it’s “only fair” and “It’s not their fault they didn’t make it all the way to November 3rd.”
This is how desperate the Democrats have become. When they can’t win with the living, they start counting the dead. Mail-in ballots weren’t enough. Now they need corpses on the voter rolls.
California has officially gone full banana republic.
Share this everywhere so every American sees how far the left will go to steal elections!

45 million Chinese starved to death in four years so Mao could hit steel quotas.
He forced farmers to melt their tools and cookware in backyard furnaces while the crops sat unharvested, and local officials inflated the harvest numbers to save their own skins, so the state seized grain based on pure fiction and left the villages to die.
The largest famine in human history followed directly from central planning that treated human lives as disposable inputs.
Intentions and “hehe whoopsies” become irrelevant once the body count reaches the genocidal scale that communism produces every time it gains power.
TLDR: anyone defending Mao/ism after 45 million corpses because “muh intentions” is literally a genocidal imbecile.
