I have to write that I think the Balushistan sphinx isn't man-made. As the article points out, if archaeologists thought so, they'd be all over it. Who wouldn't want to be the first to excavate a brand new site? The Elizabethan 'energy-crisis' was an interesting read. Coal must have seemed as miraculous as morphine was hailed - at first. And as for the other Cleopatra, I've read of her, and of King Juba. It's interesting that their child was given the name Ptolemy. But then, the famous Cleopatra was actually the seventh of the name of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Interesting stuff, once again, Undine.
