For nuns, specifically from the Catholic Church, wedding bands have served as an important symbol of their relationship to God. Since the end of the 12th century, various Roman Catholic nuns have worn rings. Why Do Nuns Wear Wedding Bands? | Synonym
I was just reading a post about Grant in this forum....Virginia City, Nevada? He died poor and destitute I read?

Well, yes, and no. This is what Wiki says at the end (after the destitution)

Attendance at the New York funeral topped 1.5 million. Ceremonies were held in other major cities around the country, while Grant was eulogized in the press and likened to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Grant's body was laid to rest in Riverside Park, first in a temporary tomb, and then—twelve years later, on April 17, 1897—in the General Grant National Memorial, also known as "Grant's Tomb", the largest mausoleum in North America.

My question, as they completely fabricate history: How would they know what cancer was back then? There were no x-rays, no technology to diagnose cancer. It would have been lung disease, sure, but cancer?

Seeing that tomb reminded me of when we were kids and would ask each other stupid questions like, "when was the war of 1812 fought?" or "who's buried in Grant's tomb?" I'm wondering now who IS buried in Grant's tomb? Also wondering how those "stupid" questions ever came to be a child's game.

If you search 'civil war" and drop American, you get 26,278 articles/papers, they weren't calling it the American Civil War back then, just the civil war.

@sharonr, @KorbenDallas

This is my first post here. I have been trying to make sense of this for a couple of years now. I have a theory. It's pretty far out there, but I see that there are open-minded people on this forum, so I will share.

While looking for the truth, all I have found are lies. I finally realized that the truth is that everything is a lie.
That is the only truth there is - everything is a lie.

How is this possible?

At the end of Back to the Future, the picture Marty has of his siblings begins to fade out because history is being changed. That is what I thought of when I saw the flag. History is in the process of being changed, but not by anyone here.
Seriously, if somebody is trying to delete evidence of that flag, why leave part of it there?

Every aspect I look at this "reality" through leads me to the same conclusion.
Philosophy - Plato's The Allegory of the Cave
Literature - Shakespeare's As You Like It - "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players..."
History - Kennedy and Lincoln similarities, Hitler and Napoleon simlarites - all of history suggests we live in a coded program that is set on repeat. We relive an event, in a microcosm and macrocosm, until we learn from it.
Science - Einstein - "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
Atoms are composed of 99% space, so how is anything solid?
Quantum Physics - Double Slit Experiment, consciousness creates reality
Etymology - Cosmos - the government behind the government
Even people's names can be etymologized. Sally Yates, the ACTING attorney general. Sally means "to open". Yates means "gate". She was fired for letting people into the country, in other words, opening the gate. Her name gave her chacter away.
Religion - All religions point to this experience being an illusion, maya.
The list goes on and on.

I can't prove Einstein existed much less attribute that quote to him. I have never done the double slit experiment myself. I have no way of knowing if atoms even exist. Ironically, in a way, this proves my point. I can't point to anything in this place and say with 100% certainty anything is real. So, what is "real"?

At this point, I have to say nothing. I feel pain, but that is just a side effect of having a nervous system. The nervous system is just a part of this avatar in which I currently reside.

I do not subscribe to the Elon Musk ancestor simulation theory. I think we are each fractalized pieces of God, Source. We wiped our memories clean to have a material, physical, 3D experience. We live in a game where nothing is real except for the experience.

When I look at these old photos and see glaring anomolies, I am reminded of when a microphone can be seen at the top of the screen while watching a movie. We have been given eyes to see, and what we see is "behind the scenes", the plot holes, the editing mistakes in this "reality". We live on a movie set; the world is a stage.

Here are a couple of things you may not have seen that could be of interest to you:

Strange Device on Lincoln's Face - This is a 7 minute video that shows Lincoln was wearing a mask.



Zoom in on this WWI pic. Rife with anomolies.



Thank you for your posts and this place to discuss what we see that others cannot.

When you zoom in:

Tank looks to be cut out with scissors

4 of the five men seem to be cut out with scissors as well

Guy on the far left is missing part of his left arm and leg

The five men in the picture are all of different photographic quality

Why is the guy in the front, who looks as though he has been edited in from a much clearer picture, wearing shorts?

There are brush strokes in the background that also cover the tank

There really is no background to the picture

BTW, this also leads me to think about Mt. Rushmore. If Lincoln isn't from our time, was Mt. Rushmore uncovered instead of built? Were the "presidents" from a time before ours?

This is interesting - There is a 5th face in Mt. Rushmore:

lincoln_1.jpg

I have looked at pictures of the "carving" of Mt. Rushmore. Looks to me like they were uncovered and plastered more than they were carved. I don't think they were carved any more than this building was:


Also makes me think about the "hidden room" in Mt. Rushmore. Was Mt. Rushmore a super structure and only part of it was uncovered?

I was at work on mobile when I asked about the tank. I noticed the blurry men, but it wasn't easy to view the picture. The lack of a background with the weird lines around everything point to some weird editing for sure. -- What 5th face on Mt Rushmore? Please expound? I haven't looked into it, because frankly I thought the whole thing was ridiculous to begin with, and quite arrogant.

Edit: I see the outline when turned sideways, nevermind. I thought there was an extra hidden one that actually looked like a real face, of some long gone 'historical figure'. Ignore me.

Thank you for replying. I am pretty much at your understanding. I'm not even sure what is real anymore. Same thing with the WWI photo, the Civil War is all fake photos. What the hell? I'm sure people in Europe are wondering what the big deal about the American Civil War, but there are THOUSANDS of photos recording blatant fakery. This is the earliest war with photogrphic evidence of fakery, so the start of US Hollywood? It boggles my mind, and I don't have an explanation. But I love your speculations at least. I'd love to solve this mystery some how. Who knows. Great video of Abe. I am sure @KorbenDallas appreciates that. Ha ha, makes sense. Wow

I found this picture @ Fredericksburg

If you go back to page 1 of this post we were talking about how they took that creepy picture of Confederates from the river (I added it below) and the 1st picture below is a further out perspective of the actual buildings with the wheel house (on left). No bridge, it is clearly out, dysfunctional, so a boat launch it may be, but still trying to wrap my head around if they were having to build pontoons, how were they able to get a boat on the river during a critical point in the war for a photo op (and the river is not very deep at that point, right where it changes from rapids to deeper water). And there are clearly no train tracks in the long perspective shot. I can see that there is a structure where train tracks could have been right up close to the shot...but it is hard to see. It is obviously a posed picture. Still a strange photo. Another one for the historical society to answer.

Boy, you can really have fun looking through historical preservation sights at their retelling of the story. Look at the painting below. What kind of turbans are they wearing?

This is the description, from the same website from above:

Collis' Charge
In this painting by Carl Rochling, the 114th Pennsylvania, Collis' Zouaves, charge across the Slaughter Pen Farm. For his bravery on December 13, the regiment's commander, Charles Collis, later received the Medal of Honor.

The Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR
Rob Shenk
This rail line was the scene of a terrific struggle in which Col. Edmund Atkinson's Georgia brigade drove Federal troops back from the railroad and into the Slaughter Pen.

Fighting at the Railroad
Rob Shenk
The strategically important Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad lay directly across the path of the Union attacks on the southern end of the battlefield. This formidable obstacle was the locus for some of the battle's most savage fighting.

Oh my! I have been arguing the south was Moor, and now there appears to be Berber mercenaries fighting on both sides.
Thanks public education!

Holy cow! I've been wondering who my true ancestors were going back 200 years in the US, but I pick them!

“A fellow who can pull up a hundred and ten pound dumbbell; who can climb up an eighty foot rope, hand over hand, with a barrel of flour hanging to his heels; … who can jump seventeen feet four inches high without a spring board; who can tie his legs in a double bow knot round his neck without previously softening his shin bones in a steam bath; … who can take a five shooting revolver in each hand and knock the spots off the ten of diamonds at eighty paces, turning somersaults all the time and firing every shot in the air—that is a Zouave.”

I don't think that's a tank. The rivets look real, and the oddly placed lifting lug, and the weird machine on the side. But alll those treads look chemically painted on. Boat maybe?

It must've been somebody's first day down at the Ministry of Truth

The sand bags are fake, the man in front is fake, all the men are fake...take them away and it looks like an old, deteriorated relic pulled from the earth.

Here is a slide show of pics that are supposedly from Civil War era:

Most look surreal, especially the ones with people in them. It's as if they have been pasted in.

A look at Crimean War photos from about the same time period (1853-1856) reveal the same anomalies.

These gentlemen sure do look at ease during war.

I love this one:

A set of interesting Civil War group photos (plenty of other pictures and photos there). I'm wondering who was doing laundry for those guys.
