On the one hand, it's cool the insanely well preserved stuff we're finding in the ice from like, 50,000 years ago. On the other, the ice is melting because the world is on fire and eventually we're gonna uncover a kaiju.

Robert Capa was also at Omaha beach (I think it was Omaha) on D-Day and apparently captured a lot of footage of the actual landings. When he sent them back on an LST the bag they were in got soaked with water and ruined them. So that's why we have so little footage or images of the initial landings.
Robert Capa was an incredible war photographer, in general. I think there's a book about him or something floating around I need to pick up. Conversely, Ernest Hemingway was apparently a huge prick and got in everybody's way. He insisted on carrying around a submachine gun and trying to like, be an actual soldier.
I'm at the part where Aztec painters are relaying images of the conquistadors back to their emperor, and it mentions paintings of horses among them. Now I'm remembering that thing about how horses are apparently really hard to draw right, even when you're looking at anatomy guides for drawing them and such. Imagine seeing a horse for the first time ever, and then immediately having to draw it, and then having to present it to your head of state as critical information in a contact scenario.

I don't know how you'd even begin to draw a horse without a solid team of crack forum artists.
The Artists Rifles, now known as 21 Special Air Service Regiment (Artists), was a regiment of the Territorial Force. Raised in London in 1859 as a volunteer light infantry unit, the regiment saw active service during the Second Boer War and the First World War, earning a number of battle honours. During the Second World War, it was used as an officer training unit. The regiment was disbanded in 1945, but in 1947 it was re-established to resurrect the Special Air Service Regiment.
The regiment was established in 1859, part of the widespread volunteer movement which developed in the face of potential French invasion after Felice Orsini's attack on Napoleon III was linked to Britain. The group was organised in London by Edward Sterling, an art student, and comprised various professional painters, musicians, actors, architects and others involved in creative endeavours; a profile it strove to maintain for some years. It was established on 28 February 1860 as the 38th Middlesex (Artists') Rifle Volunteer Corps, with headquarters at Burlington House. Its first commanders were the painters Henry Wyndham Phillips and Frederic Leighton. The unit's badge, designed by J. W. Wyon, shows the heads of the Roman gods Mars and Minerva in profile. Until 1914 the regimental full dress uniform was light grey with white facings, silver buttons and braid. This distinctive uniform dated from the regiment's foundation as a volunteer unit. After the First World War, standard khaki was the normal dress.

I often wondered that as a child but it was never mentioned in the official history of NH my school taught me in the 5th grade.
I actually learned about King Phillips war for the first time from my daughter when she was in the 5th grade.
It set the policy to eradicate all tribes along the Connecticut River Valley through a series forts through NH including The Fort at No. 4

I'd recommend Fall of Civilization's recounting of it.
