Ancient Mysteries
http://www.ancientx.com/nm/anmviewer.asp?a=75&z=1
Ignoring the English what is poor, this is a super article on a few unsolved mysteries. I have heard of the Baghdad Battery before and it featured on a television program recently.
As Hamlet, aka Will Shakespeare, once said, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
We may laugh at those who believe the World was created in 4004 B.C. (and who argue about whether it was the Spring or Autumn of that year), but I wonder if in a few decades time we ourselves will be the subject of equal derision for our current level of scientific ‘knowledge’.
