If we see realy what have been done,it is real history full of fictions?Maybe these are reasons for
movement for revision of history like Formenko in paralel to "official".In production of Gladiator
director Ridley Scott have point out some of stupid and imposible view of historical advisors for simple and common acts "done" in the Roman times.
From houndreds of experts and their "explanations"
with altitude of "known all",I can accept even one
like this...time traveler...to be with same dignity like many others from many other experts...by the way some of them have even identified sexsual and nathional preferences of the main historical figure.

Mid eighties to mid nineties - mostly Blake's 7 conventions and clubs. I still go to Lunacon once a year to keep in contact with old friends. :-)

Yes Karen! you can see it now eh?Just prior to the Indian campaign, sequined Persian robes, swinging hips and singing to a section of the high command:So here I go again,
With and old friend I knew,We Can't go on together,
With supspicious minds.
And we can't build my realm,
With suspicious minds...

And it wasn't an arrow in India - just twenty-one too many pappadams on top of the three dozen naan and a quart and a half of rogan josh.Lord knows what he ate in Babylon after Gedrosia!
Possibly he over indulged at McNebuchadnezzars, Hungry Ptolemy's (where the goats are barbequed) and MFD (Mesopotamian Fried Duck) followed by a box of Kraterus Kremes and swished down with that marvelous Persian grape syrah.
