You mean, it's all fake? A scam, a trick, a practical joke? .----> On Sun, 2 May 1999 22:20:45 -0500, Donovan announced: |Vice Admiral Acker wrote in message | <372...@news.inxpress.net>... |>I think the first one was ancient Egyptian cultures, they used their |>characters to make pyramid-looking pictures on walls. | |Those are not ascii charcaters though. That thought was brought up before |and was shot down for this reason. | |A side note....Egyptians aren't really ancient. Someday when people are not |afraid of the truth, they will show the proof to the public. Those writings |were of a different culture and the Egyptians pawned it off as their own. | If |you want to know more let me know. | |-- |Peace, |Donovan | | /\ `_ , p e A c e c A m http://www.misslink.net/donovan/ | /_|\ -(_)- This is your portal to Ascii-Art, Kool-Aid, poetry, | /_|__\ , ` The Secret Link Game, DA QUIZ!, ZDTV, & the webcam. | /_|__|_\ Mailto:don...@misslink.net ICQ#: 812836 |_-/_|__|__|\_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_dwb_- | |.,_, EVANS PLUNGE BEANIE BABIES PRICE LIST |(O,O) http://www.misslink.net/donovan/bb1.html |( ) New & Retired Beanies available.
