What would George Washington say? It's a busy year for people who portray him​

"John Koopman III looks straight out of a history book. It's not just his angular face and hair tied back with a ribbon, but his entire tall frame, as he learned from the tailor who made his military costume."

"Where my sleeves fall and my wrist, the size of my chest, where my breaches fall, is all identical to Washington," he explained. "That made my day."

"We met under a shade tree as he stood next to his beloved horse, Bear. Koopman started this hobby nearly three decades ago, when his Connecticut town put on a reenactment to mark the 300th anniversary of its founding."

"Since then, Koopman has performed in a film shown at Mount Vernon and multiple other documentaries. He even branched out to write a historical novel on the Revolutionary War."

Stonehenge Was Reanalyzed by AI - And New Findings Are Hard To Ignore​

"A chemical fingerprint of Stonehenge's massive sarsens revealed they came from a single quarry fifteen miles north — one deliberate choice nobody can fully explain. In this documentary-style exploration, we imagine what an impartial AI might surface if it could hold three centuries of scans, radar maps, isotope studies, and measurements in a single mind at once."

"For 5,000 years, Stonehenge has refused to explain itself. Who built it? How did they move impossible weights? What was it for? Every generation of researchers arrives convinced they'll close the case — and every generation leaves with it wide open."

"Note: the stones, weights, and quarry study are real. The AI analysis is the storytelling conceit of this video — an exploration of what a machine with no loyalty to any theory might reveal."
