The minerals show up in black, all shades of red, and a range of warm colors, from dark brown to straw yellow. To prepare, you’ll be doing the following: First, use the internet or art books to look at old cave art examples. These examples will give you a better idea of how to approach cave art. Once you’ve decided which types of art to mimic, you’ll need to grind up some of your chalk in a dish or on a plate. Next, you’ll add some water to your chalk. You’ll want the water to make the chalk more like paint—looser than a paste, but not too liquidy. However, if you are using a spray bottle, you’ll want to dilute the mixture until it's thin enough to spray through the bottle. Now, you’ll place the…

The original title was “Chant de guerre de l'armée du Rhin,” which translates to “War Song of the Army of the Rhine.” The mayor of Strasbourg, where Rouget de Lisle was stationed, wanted a marching song for the French army, because France had declared war on Austria.

However in more recent times the Pirenne thesis has come under criticism from historians, with some arguing he has exaggerated some pieces of evidence and completely ignored others. One of the main exaggerations…
