MILITARY HISTORY & NEWS2 Years year at arlington
THE STEPS THE GUARDS PERFORM HAVE SPECIFIC MEANING.
Everything the guards do is a series of 21, which alludes to the 21-gun salute. According to TombGuard.org: The Sentinel does not execute an about face, rather they stop on the 21st step, then turn and face the Tomb for 21 seconds. They then turn to face back down the mat, change the weapon to the outside shoulder, mentally count off 21 seconds, then step off for another 21 step walk down the mat. They face the Tomb at each end of the 21 step walk for 21 seconds. The Sentinel then repeats this over and over until the Guard Change ceremony begins. 
DIGGING UP THE PASTwhat ancient DNA reveals to us today
More than 10,000 years ago, Native peoples in Brazil started interring their dead at Lapa do Santo. In 2014, excavations revealed the remains of this adult man.
