I spent 2 months in ‘85 driving my blazer
from Le Havre, France, down through Italy and hopped a 1.5 day ferry ride to Greece on up to
Mani to visit family.

had many opportunities to see why the madness of religion has prevailed. the shear size and beauty (and numbers) of religious structures of all sorts must have awestruck the plebes of the day that were lucky enough to lay eyes on them.

nonetheless, i still see religion, especially The Church, as the biggest money scandal and most harmful thought/concept to ever infect the minds of men & women alike.

never mind the control aspect of it.

even more insulting to humanity is that
people are fooled by it today, more than
ever

if one needs to follow an “enlightened path”
i think (in my somewhat uneducated view) the American Indians are the only humans on the planet that got spirituality right.

so i still affirm my original statement:

why do people still obsess over this nonsense?

The episode title is "Da Vinci Shroud". Because the front and the back are different heights, and the head is too large for the body, they say that the technique involved the use of a camera obscura over several days. fwiw.

Wasn't the Mona Lisa supposed to have portrayed what 'Nardo would have looked like as a woman? Or the sister he never had? Didn't hear any mention of that in the story & am somewhat disappointed. Time to superimpose the shroud image onto the Mona Lisa & see what comparison ye come up with---eh? Guy on the right looks vaguely like a non-crazified Charlie Manson.
