My site was having some database issues last night, so if you visited the site and saw an error page, that is what was happening. My host has resolved the problem now, and everything looks good. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Dropa Stones
The Ica Stones
The Antikythera Mechanism
The Baghdad Battery
The Coso Artifact
Ancient Model Aircraft
Giant Stone Balls of Costa Rica
Impossible Fossils
Out-of-Place […]

I probably won’t be able to blog as much over the next week and a half. My schedule is pretty full, so I don’t know how often I’ll be able to submit new posts or even check my personal email. I will still post the medieval historical fiction novel of the week along with the […]
