Empirical evidence solves her problem. That's the beauty of science. It's only interested in objective, fact based truth.

ps. A closer look at the symbols and images used by Frida Kahlo in her 1945 painting "Moses, Nucleus of Creation". Inspired by Sigmund Freud's book "Moses the Man and Monotheistic Religion", it sees all human beliefs, both spiritual and political, stemming from a single all-giving sun.

ps. I'm not sure about the makes of the cars (are you?), but the four registration plates on view are definitely German: IA = Berlin. IX = Westfalen. IIIX = Donaukreis: Oberämter Biberach, Blaubeuren, Ehingen, Geislingen, Göppingen, Kirchheim.

Soweit ich weiß, gibt es nur die Geschichten, die die Einheimischen erzählen. Da ich selbst in Hopferau gelebt habe, habe ich keinen Zweifel daran, dass sie wahr sind. Als ich dort war, gab es das Gerücht, dass Bill Gates dort ein kleines Denkmal oder eine Gedenktafel aufstellen lassen wollte.

ps. Percy Shelley actually wrote "Ozymandias" as part of a friendly Christmas competition with the banker and political writer Horace Smith. Smith's own version of the subject matter was published in The Examiner three weeks after Shelley's.

"The Mass Grave of Lützen" in Halle, Germany. It contains the skeletons of 47 soldiers killed in the Battle of Lützen (1632) during the 30 Years' War. The grave was lifted out as a whole block, and after 3 years of examination, it was put on display as a striking memorial against the horrors of war.

ps. The most mysterious drawing in the Chauvet Cave is the "Venus and the Sorcerer". It shows a woman's pubic triangle and vulva intertwined with a shaman-like bison-man and a lion. The female section is very reminiscent of the lower half of the equally old "Hohle Fels Venus" found in Germany.

ps. I posted this collage before, but with wrong information about the 'Varusschlacht' battle in 9AD. That's what happens when a night owl like me spends two weeks getting up at the crack of dawn to wait for builders who take three times longer to finish the job than they promised. 😬

A closer look at "The Chasseur in the Forest" by Caspar David Friedrich. Painted in 1814 after the defeat of Napoleon, the "Chasseur/Soldier is France while the forest represents Germany. Germans would have associated it with the legendary defeat of Rome by Germanic tribes in the Teutoburg Forest.
