Hello Super Ed!
The portrait exhibition was interesting. There has always been a lot of noise about Bolivar's physical appearance. Chavez in his Bolivarian obsession ordered the exhumation of the Liberator's corpse in 2010 because he said that he had not died of tuberculosis but of poisoning, there was much speculation about this and many believed that what they wanted was to perform rituals of Santeria, but as a result, a portrait of Bolivar was made with DNA studies, the result was far from the Bolivar we saw in the history books.
And an urban legend was generated around the exhumation and it is said that a kind of curse fell on those present, including Chávez. And urban legend or not, all those who were present, including Chávez, have died, except for one person, who is ill with cancer.
And as for being late to the party, hehe, don't worry because the party is always ready for you ;) I haven't been online much lately either.
I just posted for LPUD, and now I'm going to visit your post:)
Happy Saturday 🌀
Fluff me, he really did that!
Wtf why, damn why do people have to meddle!
So what is Bolivar meant to be, and what is he after the DNA studies?
Glad to see you posted lpud I just read it jeje
Happy Saturday evening 💙
Yes, he did. Chávez had an obsession with Bolívar and the idea of Gran Colombia that he had in his time. And amid his madness, he dreamed to do something like this and that is why he called his "revolution" Bolivarian.
And well, Bolivar's face looks nothing like the way he used to be depicted on the banknotes, and the new one it's an image that Chavez's opponents find a bit shocking ;)
Happy Sunday, Super Ed 💙🌀
