Hot take: I used to think the Denver Airport murals were just weird art, but a tour guide's comment made me look again

I was on a layover in Denver last year and took that weird art tour they offer. The guide pointed out that the mural with the dead dove and the soldier has a specific date on it, March 3, 1995, which is the day the airport opened. He said some people think it's a prediction, but he showed us the blueprints where the artist just used the opening date as a placeholder. Seeing the actual plans from the city archives (he had copies) flipped my whole view. Now I dig for the boring paperwork before buying into the wild story. Anyone else have a conspiracy that fell apart once you saw the original documents?

Yeah but like... is any of that paperwork even real? Feels like a lot of work over some airport art.

Forged the city archives too, huh.
