You guys should check out Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World by Scott McCormick he has other ones but this is def my favorite it has lots of cool facts but its fun to read and there's an entire section on archeology that i found shocking its really good also i recommend listening to it instead of reading it it has lots of fun sound affects and accents.

Why are we even considering this like come on if we are going to make a new state it should be Puerto Rico or another territory as long as they are ok with it of course. My mom is Puerto Rican and I know some puerto ricans don't like it being a U.S. territory but I think territories should at least have some say in government I mean look at recent events if Puerto Ricans were able to vote there would likely already be systems in place in case of disasters like hurricanes.

Lol my dad does stuff like this the people describe how they want it to look and he creates 3d moving models for the people and they give him like the dimensions and stuff so he can scale it and after they tell him if they want anything changed its really cool and once they are satisfied they build it
