This work of literature has been translated from Latin and was written almost half a century after the main storyteller's death. Although rather sketchy, it holds accounts of a famous adventure, which some believe the sea-dweller discovered a well known place nearly a thousand years before a well known explorer. Involving a big fish and a crystal tower, what was the name of this publication, and who was the main protagonist?

Who was he, and what is the ancient document? Christopher Columbus, well known explorer, discovered which part of America? Considering it is over half a millenium older than the Great Pyramid of Giza, and well and truly a thousand years before Stonehenge, it appears that the alignment of the sun through the chamber was not coincidental. Where is this place, and what are the names of similar structures nearby? A well-known portrait of a famous Englishman has just been proved a fraud. Who is the subject, and how did the experts determine that this picture is a fake?
