A blast from the past -- "Thoroughly Modern Miscellany", mysterious chemistry, underwater archaeology pings. Pings all around, they're on the house. Found this and a number of others (you're about to see 'em) during a visit to the "iron" keyword. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
