Taking the pith
Your thin end for today:
I am reading a book. One with lots of words. With few diagrams and even fewer pictures.
In other words, it's a reading book, not a looking book. And it's bloody interesting too. It was one of those stupid impulse buys off the cheap table at the Red Shed - I think I paid $5 for it. It's probably the best $5 I ever spent. I've had it for a couple of years and got half way through it the first time before lending it out, and then lending it out again. Now I finally have it back and I've started at the front again.
It's called "Uriel's Machine" by authors Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas. It's sort of a history of History, if you like - it explains how much older than most of us think our civilisation's roots really are and puts the anomalies of the Bible into perspective in a unique and thorough way. And if you ever wanted to know why the missing Book of Enoch was left out of the Bible, or where the Freemasons originated, look no further than this book.
If you ever get a chance to read it, do so; it's definitely something to get your teeth into. But not my copy, ok? They have a couple of other books that look like they might be worth reading as well. If you have one of those, I'll do you a swap. If you are nice. :-D
Today's prophesy - Your lucky stone for the week is chalcedony.
