Much isn't told because WE COULDN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Oh, wait; that's
a Jack Nicholson line from a movie... Actually, we CAN handle the
truth and archaologists and historians have shared their best efforts

personal agendas is akin to attention deficit disorder. What were we

You'll get back with more on that "one Irishman," won't you?
