ReplyDeleteThe number of ancient civilisations that have existed is astounding. I've heard of the Nabataeans, and always wish that Trajan hadn't incorporated their land into the Roman Empire. But now, another ancient culture pre-dating the Incas... I'd like to see more plays of Marlowe's performed. Schrodinger the cat sounds rather like my semi-feral Sable. Maybe she will one day take the plunge, like Schrodinger, and become my friend.
