I think that dye was naturally purple from a Murex, a marine snail. Tyre was famous for the production of the dye. It is Royal purple

Indigo is produced from the plant Indigofera tinctoria. They tried to grow it on a plantation on Cumberland Island but couldn’t make of it

Can you imagine the reaction of the Solutreans when they made contact with Siberian invaders?

"Well! There goes the mega-fauna!!

Lol. Who ARE those creeps?

The Han Chinese [92% of all Chinese] are the only humans to have perfectly round nostrils. All other humans (including all other Oriental Asians) have the oval nostrils.
Since the Siberian hunter groups are NOT Han, they haven't the round nostrils.
That was useless bit of information #494853. :o)

Love Is Blue
Paul Mauriat
Album Love Is Blue

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I’m without you

Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away

Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed

Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we’re apart

When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Black, black, the nights I’ve known
Longing for you so lost and alone

The Egyptians made paint from Lapis Lazuli, and it’s still used today.

"Was it exactly 6,200 years ago, to the hour?"

Ask Ruth Ginsburg. I hear she was around back then.

"The Solutreans were European. They were the first peoples to reach the Americas roughly 22,000 years ago."

Immigrants From The Other Side (Clovis Is Solutrean?)
