Putting the “Lost Tomb” to bed

  • I just noticed that I didn’t have a title for the last post. And then it seems like it some­how doesn’t even deserve one. It hardly mer­its the notice of a blog post. But then, there were two last thoughts I had on the whole thing, and so I thought I’d (ha ha) res­ur­rect it again.

    1. I just noticed on the blog dash­board that that one was post #666. Well, there you go. That explains every­thing — it’s the blog entry of the Beast.
    2. The sci­en­tific argu­ment that James Cameron is mak­ing, as I under­stand it, is that even though the names found on the tombs were com­mon names for the time, it’s just too much of a coin­ci­dence that they are all in the same place. And when he found some­one to mas­sage the num­bers, he got some kind of sta­tis­ti­cal num­ber that seemed to vin­di­cate his hypoth­e­sis. (Sup­pos­edly there’s also some DNA thing he checked out, but that’s too embar­rass­ingly idi­otic to even merit a come­back.) The big fun that some­one ought to go have is to find out how many James Camerons are buried around the world, and pos­si­bly find out how many of them were buried next to some­one named Jack or Rose. Then I’m sure we could all agree that the real James Cameron per­ished on the Titanic.

    Boy, that would be some big fun. I wish we had some of the con­spir­acy nuts on our side — they’d have a party with this.

    Oh well. That’s all I had, and it’s prob­a­bly more than it’s worth.
