Who was Jesus? A bishop recently used His biography to illustrate a good theological point when he described Him as 'an uneducated man from Nazareth, son of a poor carpenter named Joseph who preached in several synagogues'.The implication is that all the wisdom Jesus exhibits comes from God who would surely have informed Him of modern technology, whereas Jesus clearly demonstrates a detailed knowledge of Alexandrine philosophy. Then why would a poor carpenter make a long journey to...

Sorge’s activities between 1930 and 1942 have tended to be lauded as those of a superlative human intelligence operator and the Soviet Union’s GRU (Soviet military intelligence unit) as the optimum of spy-masters. Although it was unusual for a great deal of inside knowledge to be obtained from the Japanese side, most attention has always been paid on the German side to the roles played by representatives of the German Army in Japan. This book, supported by extensive notes and a bibliograph...

This retro game was text only but challenging.The new version of this game has been greatly expanded with more puzzles, graphics and sound but still retains the appeal of the original version and is even more challenging.You're probably going to get stuck so here are all the answers including fifty ways to die,

Fragmentation in Archaeology revolutionises archaeological studies of material culture, by arguing that the deliberate physical fragmentation of objects, and their (often structured) deposition, lies at the core of the archaeology of the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Copper Age of Central and Eastern Europe.John Chapman draws on detailed evidence from the Balkans to explain such phenomena as the mass sherd deposition in pits and the wealth of artefacts found in the Varna cemete...

There are some things an author is not supposed to do. One of them is to start with a purple prose opening line of "It was a dark and stormy night." Another is to make the subtitle on the cover bigger than the title. In this very short story I set out to make all the author mistakes I could think of just to see if I could use them and still entertain.I suppose I should tell you a bit about the story? Well this is the first story of a series which tells how I became a time traveller....

This memoir is not really about research questions or main conclusions. It tells the story of a boy growing up in Plymouth, Devon, getting excited about archaeology after visits to mainland Greece and Crete, trying to get into Greek archaeology and relocating northwards into the Balkans, where he spent a career in prehistoric research. The chapters alternate between museum/university experiences and my major research projects. The experiences of working in that part of the world as the Thi...

You're not going to believe this short story. It's the tale of how I was infected with timebots. I could die, have them removed and then be restored to life by Alex Pierson (aka Jack the Ripper) or take a trip through time to Maryland in 1785 and rescue a witch. Time travel - here I come.Almost forgot to tell you - My trip was arranged by T.A.C.O. (Time AntiChronoclasm Organisation) and in it you'll learn about B.E.L.L. (no clue what that stands for). The trip lasts three seconds / ...

I'm a reluctant time traveller. You won't believe that but that doesn't matter because someone will eventually read this and start thinking, "Maybe..."This was my second time travel trip and I wasn't looking forward to it. If I went on the Titanic, I would die. If I didn't go the Titanic disaster would never happen and millions would die as a result - and I would never be born because that would kill my grandfather. You're probably confused. I was, but when you are time travelling, ...

It's a story that will start with a chance encounter with a time traveler known as Jack the Ripper, and it will end with the founding of TACO, the Time Acency Chronoclasm Organisation, a powerful agency controlling time travel throughout history.The second short story tells how I was coerced into joining TACO as an observer on a m...
