Philosoph Copyrigh And they always find in archaeology, a series of small walls . . . “we’ve found a series of small walls, we’re very excited, we think this proves they had walls in olden days. They were very small, a series of small-walled people.” And someone comes along, very learned with glasses and says “of course the king and queen entertained here—1500 courtiers—and there were soldiers, 20,000 soldiers in this room, and elephants dancing hopscotch over there, mad fiddler in this room, playing the banjo, viaducts and aqueducts etc. . . .” And you’re just watching thinking you’re making this up, mate—you just point at a series of small walls and say “and Tutenkhamen played the banjo in there.”Don’t know if it’s true!
