  • Apparently, 200 years ago we could CNC and laser scribe on headstones. Even though CNC technology wasn't invented until 1952.

    They only became fonts when computers arrived. They were type faces then.

      The question is how were they put on...

    I see the chubby round faced guy on many headstones up until around 1800 , then it seems to switch to the vase and/or weeping willow tree …. are these specific to the northeast? does anyone know? great stuff …. these cemeteries are a challenging piece to the puzzle 🧩

      @@kurtis47 I agree Kurtis.. there's a couple around me I've been investigating and I've found curious findings. That dam with the boxed in brick arch I climbed into was about 25 feet from old cemetery in my city. They burried something then burried dead people so no one would EVER think of digging... IMHO

      @@shawnybee I agree 💯, being designated as cemetery ENSURES that no exploration will ever be done …. which the more I think about it , is VERY INTERESTING 🧐 🧐 it’s the one place that can never be touched 🧐ever 🧐

      I haven't seen chubby face dude but the weeping willow and vase are repeated everywhere. I think of perhaps one artist who could do a few but not thousands across a whole region. Perhaps they were mass-produced with machine tech. They are covering something they don't want us to know about.

      yes, they must have mass-produced these stones. I feel they could be fake.
