Jeremiah Johnson sounds like he needs a new movie, and one based on his incredible but true life. I liked Redford's version, but the real Johnson's story would blow it out of the water. And on the subject of water, another lost city found beneath the waves. So many cultures come and go. The article on bells and clocks regulating time and trade: excellent. Very ancient hieroglyphics, indeed. The Egyptians were fascinating people.
