Ferenc Lantos (1929-2014) built much of his visual language from just two forms, the circle and the square. He would divide, rotate and recombine them, then use color to generate endless variations from the same basic system.

This 1966-67 color wheel was made by Dorothy Liebes for Sears. Liebes was so influential she was called “the mother of the twentieth-century palette.”

Her signature trick was deliberately putting colors together that others thought clashed!

In 1869, a group of Ohio citizens decided they were finally going to find out what was inside the enormous prehistoric mound overlooking the Great Miami River at Miamisburg.

They started from the top and sank a vertical shaft essentially the entire way through it, eventually reaching below the original ground surface. Two horizontal tunnels were cut outward from the shaft.

Eight feet down they encountered a human burial: a skeleton placed sitting upright, reportedly covered with bark and clay.

Then the mound kept going.

At roughly 24 feet they hit a carefully arranged layer of flat stones. Farther down was another feature surrounded by decayed logs. Between them were layers of earth, ash, charcoal and stone… the remains of separate construction episodes accumulated as the monument grew.

And this wasn’t some little pile of dirt.

Miamisburg Mound is still about 65 feet high, roughly 300 feet across and contains around 54,000 cubic yards of earth. It stands on a ridge another 100 feet above the Great Miami River valley. Ohio History Connection considers it one of the two largest conical mounds in eastern North America.

The 1869 excavation actually lowered the summit by several feet. And after driving a shaft through almost the entire monument, they still had examined only a tiny fraction of it.

Miamisburg Mound has never been systematically excavated.

Which means one of the largest surviving Indigenous earthworks in America still contains almost its entire archaeological record exactly where its builders left it.

Here is my write up of the previously classified document released by @SenRandPaul. Gottlieb cited dramatically different numbers in private to the CIA than he was saying publicly.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

I released documents showing Pfizer and the CIA privately acknowledged high population immunity as early as May 2020, while the public heard a different story. Americans deserve the truth. Important reporting on this from @jeffreytucker.

Remnant of an embossed copper plate excavated from the Spiro Mounds in Oklahoma. It is very similar to one found in a Florida mound in 1893; depicted in a post made just before this one.
