"The amulet that could rewrite the history of Christianity."
ReplyDeleteConsidering people today wear jewelry with Egyptian hieroglyphs, Chinese or Japanese inscriptions, etc, that they can't read its more likely someone wore it because they thought it looked good.
How'd you like to be the 'decoy dolphin' with the shark-hunters? Surely she'd be smart enough to know what was going on... Finding a Roman villa beneath their school; do you think the students were let off punishment because of that? I'd seen a fanciful version of the Paige compositor in the Fredric March movie, but I didn't know how obsessed Twain was with it. He seemed to know he was obsessed but couldn't help it. I'd never heard of the bombing of LaGuardia Airport; I guess many alive now haven't. The Japanese prison break article revealed an awful truth: 8,000,000 germans captured in battle, and only 35,000 Japanese... What a fascinating discovery in the Christian amulet! And border tower-houses, which I've researched for my stories, often had small dungeons. Unpleasant places they were, too.
