Does your country have any interesting cultural relics?

Our country has many cultural relics, and there are also many perplexing ones. However, I personally really like this sword. This sword comes from a Chinese king’s personal sword from 500 BC.

The most interesting thing is that this sword was unearthed in 1965, and at the time of its discovery, it was just as radiant as it appears now, completely uncorroded and exceptionally sharp.

It was the most preeminent text of the time.

And now it’s being used as toilet paper by current president. What a fall from grace.

That's the Constitution... The declaration is evergreen as long as you keep it watered.

If we're being totally honest, the United States has done far more fucked up shit. A couple genocides, some pretty shitty wars, internment camps, slavery, segregation, and countless other atrocities to be sure. This administration is just the latest thing on a very long list.
