This one is just for fun, although anti-theist apes are welcome to throw stones as always. Enjoy. 11th grade World History class was like watching a 4-hour movie on fast forward. Did you know that the Khmer Empire of Cambodia was magnificent? Well, now you do, and that's all we were told before moving on to the Industrial Revolution. I first heard the name of Prester John in this class and quickly forgot about it for many years until I read The Secret in the Bible, and the word "prester" was used, and it jogged my memory. Something must have jogged it again tonight because I was motivated to find this video and start this thread.

For a fictional personality, he seems to have been helpful in sparking the Age of Exploration (or the Ride of the First Horseman as I like to think of it). I borrowed the title from Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? I don't know if you have heard of it, but it was a kid's educational show when I lived in Florida. Carmen Sandiego was a spy who moved from country to country, and kids were given clues about whatever country she was in so that they could guess where she was.

My middle son had a Carmen San Diego computer game. Those were the days!

No more ear-worms!
