I loved this book when I first read it. I’m loving it even more now :o) Attempting to put the sense of smell on the historical map, the author of this book conveys the power that smells – from the seductress’s civet to the ubiquitous excremental odours of city cesspools – exercized over the […]

Easier Said Than Done

Deconstructing a BS Historical “MYTH” that’s been around far too long is easier said than done! Here we meet the Mainstream story of Nakşidil Sultan and Selim III and why they are connected to Napoleon. Here, also, is the French and English fighting over who gets the biggest part of Tartaria – after the Romanovs […]

It’s obvious that FEB doesn’t know my work. But someone else does (!) The MAB- IN- OG- ION. The MOST Famous Central Source of WELSH Myth and Legend. Wow! Wanton theft?

I used to live a hop and a skip away from… Wiki : Boscombe Down And two hops and a skip away from… Wiki : Porton Down Such a shame that Wiki has forgotten all and everything about True Truth. Alice. Don’t go THERE, sweetheart :o(

Cemetery of the Innocents

Again with the old 17th century France research. Wiki : Cimetière des Saints-Innocents The history books say that the soil there was so rich (!) it could consume a cadaver in seven days! This links with more of my past searches. Wiki : Cour des miracles Always with the “gypsy” slums. […]

Nakşidil Sultan

Well. This one has blown me away. I understand now why I mentioned Nakşidil Sultan, in passing, the other day. She has a connection to le Brun via Selim III (previous posts) And the common denominator is… Napoleon Bonaparte. It’s all a bit twisty turny right now. But I’ll get there :o)

Yes. I admit. I could be wrong. But…..? It’s feeling very much like The Same Ol’ Same Ol’ Story here. What happened to the le Brun family? No guesses.
