greco-roman's not my preference much but they did some damn fine statue work. n their syncretism game is on point serapis looks cool -find this on the national museum of liverpool website of course it's in a british museum...

there's mostly just lots of stone sites with runes carved in them. ppl worked with what they had mostly. found out today there was basically a stonehenge in cahokia. had no idea. only knew abt the snake mound. knew some west coast tribes mined obsidian. no, you didn't. which style buddha? the...

the whole "authenticity" chunk n the hypocrisy in it reminds me of a short beige farmer homie posted a few days back draggin' a dude with a reactionary take -getting gently told off in algonquin -google "piscataway language" n google says it's extinct

i got the tecumseh book. i take issue with the heathen degenerate bashing, but as someone who spent way too long reading the forum posts of ppl who swore to astral project n commune with king paimon n swear he's cool with granola bar offerings, and also read a sincere webpage abt how hitler was...
