      Who will be the first to spot the lame logics of the following, it should       be lots of ggiggles.                     >Constantine had a vision, he saw the Christian cross.       >       >Wrong.       >       >Constantine's "Cross" was the Chi Rho, a Pagan symbol       >that appears to have originated in Alexandria.       >       >https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/171/T/6/Tsm93xWtzE2XBbS       jc8PGkP76LyK6o.jpg       >       >The above is NOT a good image, merely the best I could       >find in a 30-second search but, the Chi Rho is below       >what looks like an eagle, between its legs.       >       >The coin was struck under Ptolemy III.       >       >I know there's lots of better images, and that they're not       >limited to Ptolemy III so go have some fun!       >       >Ptolemy's "Christian" cross was of Pagan origins, coming       >from Alexandria Egypt!              Chiccken fat and the sun are yellow, lots of giggles.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
