One of *those* topics. The eclipse guy is humorous to listen to, at least; my favorite was, "the Iliad wasn't written by Homer, but by another man by that name."

[Fred Nerks]

...The find came from a 3,200-year-old palace on the island of Salamis, near Athens, Greece, which belonged to the mythical King Ajax, Lolos said on Wednesday, March 29, 2006. The hilltop site overlooks a small natural harbor.

Beautiful location for a palace.

...Hieroglyphs spelling the name of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II appear at the bottom of a bronze piece from an ancient mail shirt...

...and with the chronology of Egypt based on nothing more than the king-list of Manetho (before hieroglyphs were understood) there's an 800 year discrepancy in any dating based on Egyptian chronolgy...as I understand it.
