It was considered a place where an Empire ended, a place filled with riches. It was an offering for a 'crime of worship to a false deity' of a sentenced leader. Where is this place, who was the leader, and what was the resulting death sentence?

I'm going to guess that this is the famous "ransom room," in Cajamarca, Peru, supposedly filled with treasure by Incan emperor Atahualpa, in exchange for his freedom and his life (he'd been accused of idolatry, among other things, by Francisco Pizarro and his Spaniards.) In fact, Atahualpa was executed by strangulation in 1533, and the Inca Empire came to an end. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ransom_Room Aug 25 05, 12:50 PM

Is Sleepy Hollow an actual place, and if so, where is it? After the TV show "Gilligan's Island" ended I remember seeing at least two episodes of a spinoff show that took place in the American West. The "Skipper" was the leader of a wagon train, "Gilligan" was his bumbling sidekick, there was a Maryann-like schoolmarm, a Professor-like intellectual, a wealthy couple, and a dancehall girl. Does anyone remember this series, and who was in it? A train station and a Pythagorean 'mother number' all provide an eternal resting place for a British queen. Who was she, and where is she? Who was the only Pope to have ever visited an Islamic Mosque while he was pope, where and when did this take place?
