Still never should be taking down the history of the USA
-
It’s annoying that these people were ok with tearing apart history. This is not a celebration it’s destruction of history!
-
They literally don't have a clue on how or what they're doing
-
You should have left the statues alone.
-
Why do these people seem to be completely unprepared to process these artifacts?
-
Should be doin this in a climate controlled room ffs
-
"She likes the job she has" Destroying American history 🤢🤮

The lady in charge is in the wrong profession if items with a finger print on them are the only items that excite her. Anytime historical items are found should be exciting. In fact, their process appears to be somewhat crude and disrespectful of historical documents and items. It was very exciting for me to experience this live and can’t wait to see these items and their content when the process is complete.

“This is def not dry” umm 🧐 you’re going to insist on picking it apart sopping wet? Sooo careful, yet such weird mistakes This woman in charge of this reminds me of that ONE smart girl in school,- but now she’s grown up and overweight and even more insecure. She speaks ridiculously loud too

Geez, I know nothing about how to do this type of stuff but I guarantee you that I could put it all in Tupperware with some rice & that would have worked better, plus I would have been much gentler when handling it. They are rough handling it so badly it’s hard to watch without cringing. And for the record, I’m not saying they should use rice & Tupperware, I’m just saying it would be better than what they’re doing.

""I'm just gonna hold this up" all I see is blurr as she waves it around lol
-
What are these peoples qualifications because it looks like a complete hack job.
-
Everything in that box once put together will tell us a story....and we as a nation should listen.
-
What a shame to remove the Statue of General Lee! I hope it is preserved somewhere! You can’t hide History!

I'd like to see that bible, specifically Isaiah 11:6. It has changed (Mandela effect). My 1900 KJ, 1990 Concordance, NKJ, and NIV has changed to the wolf. I have one item that did not, an exceptional Christmas card (a 1990 copy of an artists painting, with the lion embracing and lamb in snow). It reads;"The lion shall lay down with the lamb, and the leopard shall be at peace with the goat. Peace shall reign in all the earth, and a little Child shall lead them.

They need a professional in charge this lady is destroying history
-
I love history, but found this somewhat annoying.
-
Anyone else think that they were handling the contents way too rough?
-
They’ll never tell us everything that was in the box.

When historians call in sick with covid, and dollar tree workers step in. 👏🏻
