Greetings,
As I feared, the reason I'm having problems is virus-related (a nasty little trojan which appears to be both wreaking havoc on my system and taking it over when I'm on the internet, apparently for spamming or dns purposes). I'll be migrating to another system over the course of the week and Explorator will return next weekend with a giant double issue.
Sorry for any Explorator withdrawal ... to keep you from cracking up here's some urls that some readers have sent which, alas, I am unable to check myself:
On Robert Ballard getting permission to raise objects from that shelf (thanks to Burcu):
<>
... the discovery of a Maya ruler in Honduras (thanks to Michael Ruggieri):
... on the classical languages of India (thanks to Sally Winchester):
... a couple of items from MSNBC (thanks to Bill Kennedy):
Bolivian find may hold Inca secrets
Re-creating King Midas' golden grog
... on China's terracotta warriors suffering deterioration (thanks to William Peck ... for the article, not the deterioration 8^)):
Enjoy ... (and I hope this gets sent out!)
regards,
dm
