Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge (27 July 1857 – 23 November 1934)(wikipedia) was commenting on Oedipus Aegyptiacus, Athanasius Kircher’s supreme work of Egyptology, with this biting remark – “but as they were put forth in a learned tongue many people at the time believed they were correct”   This brings to mind all the “fake news” and “fake science” and “fake reporting” that we consumers have to deal with every single day.

All this comes up as I found a really wonderful little image which I am turning into a stained glass mandala pattern.
