really king Baldwin IV used to wear a musk ?cause he was leper?

The mask was created for the movie. It is probable that the historical King Baldwin, like Johnny Carson or Greta Garbo, became reclusive during the later years of his life, but there is no evidence that the he wore anything over his face to hide his affliction.

artistic license.  What Jesus actually looked like is unknown.  He was definately of Middle Eastern decent.  He most likely was unshaven.  He probably had shorter hair (as was the common jewish style at the time) unlike the long haired interpretations.

Did Napoleon's troops shoot the nose off the Sphinx?\n\nBy Tom Holmberg\n\nAlthough popular legend blames Napoleon and his troops during the French campaign in Egypt (1798-1801) for having shot the nose off the Great Sphinx, in fact this story just isn't true. I have yet to locate an original source for this myth. The idea that Napoleon was to blame for the Sphinx's missing nose dates at least to the beginning of the twentieth century.\n\nOne traveler to Egypt around the time of World War One wrote the following: "To take our photos sitting in front of the Sphinx on a camel was the aim of another. ...And so, repulsing the hordes of robbers on all sides, we came to the wonderful, inscrutable, worth-millions-of-pounds-to-authors Sphinx. The great riddle of the mysterious East. How many reams of rubbish have been written about this misshapen block of stone. Napoleon, a practical man, fired a few cannon balls at its face. High explosive shells were not invented in those days." [From: Sommers, Cecil. Temporary Crusaders. (London: John Lane, 1919) Chapter VI. "19th April."] Another book from about the same time (In the Footsteps of Napoleon (1915) by James Morgan, p 85) states "There is a tradition among the Arabs of the Pyramids that all the scars of time and the wounds of a hundred wars, which the Sphinx carries, were inflicted by Napoleon's soldiers, who used its mystifying and majestic countenance as a target. That, however, is only a legend for the tourist. Long before the discovery of gunpowder, the Arabs had laid iconoclastic hands on the beard of this god of the desert..." Though the Arab guides may have spread this tale, this myth has been perpetuated over the years by countless teachers the world over who have passed this bit of "history" on to their students.\n\nA poll conducted on the Internet found that fully 21% of respondents believed Napoleon was responsible for the Sphinx's missing nose. One of the most recent examples of the persistence of this falsehood was Louis Farrakhan's "Million Man March" speech where he said: "White supremacy caused Napoleon to blow the nose off the Sphinx because it reminded you [sic] too much of the Black man's majesty." And the perpetuation of this myth in "Afrocentric" circles was even the subject of a segment of the U.S. television investigative journalism program "60 Minutes."\n\nThis error has persisted in spite of the fact that the truth can be readily found in such common reference sources as the Encyclopedia Americana> (Danbury, CT: Grolier, 1995). vol.25, p.492-3 under "Sphinx", which states: "Over the centuries the Great Sphinx has suffered severely from weathering...Man has been responsible for additional mutilation. In 1380 A.D. the Sphinx fell victim to the iconoclastic ardor of a fanatical Muslim ruler, who caused deplorable injuries to the head. Then the figure was used as a target for the guns of the Mamluks." In the book The Egyptian Pyramids: A Comprehensive Illustrated Reference (Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 1990), p.301, the author, J.P. Lepre, adds the fact that, in addition to the 14th century damage, "The face was further disfigured by the eighteenth century A.D. ruler of Egypt, the Marmalukes [Mamluks]."\n\nEuropean visitors to Egypt prior to Napoleon's expedition had already discovered the vandalism to the Sphinx. In 1546, for example, when Dr. Pierre Belon explored Egypt, he visited "the great colossus." "The Sphinx," writes Leslie Greener in The Discovery Of Egypt (London : Cassell, 1966), p.38, by this time "no longer [had] the stamp of grace and beauty so admired by Abdel Latif in 1200." Greener goes on to say: "this exonerates the artillerymen of Napoleon Bonaparte, who have the popular reputation of having used the nose of the Sphinx as a target." The charge against Napoleon is p

lol could be! I think he led himself. His epic probably wasn't as great as it was thought to be, noting that history becomes inaccurate over time. But hey, thinking he was led by aliens makes me laugh!

True musk is from the musk-gland (scent glands) of a male Tibetan musk deer and is, chemically, muscone, (3-methylcyclopentadecanone).  It isnt part of the urinary system as such but is adjacent to it and, I think, imparts its odour to both faeces and urine. Yes, it contains pheromones which influences males and females of the same spedies smelling it.  A zoologist will tell you more, but what I can tell you is that it is used in many perfumes, (and, traditionally, some drinks in the Middle East).  Nowadays, perfumes often contain synthetic versions of it, of which there are three, which might be preferred by vegetarians or for ethical reasons, although I dont think they kill deer to get it...? Somebody reassure us, please.\nThe synthetic musks I can give you the chemical formulae of also, but I am sure you dont want to know except that it is interesting to see how elaborate these distictive scent molecules are.

Yes it does appear that Christians and Jews borrowed some of the Egyptians ideas, there are similarities between the 10 commandments and the Egyptian book of the dead, the story of Jesus and the story of Horus, and there is even a theory that has a strong point of argument that Moses was actually the Egyptian prince Tuthmosis or the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV.  Tuthmosis was supposedly a prince during the rule of the pharaoh Akhenanten.  This was Amenhotep IV who changed his name to Akhenanten and who tried to change the Egyptian culture by declaring that from then on there was only one true god, Aten, and that Amen-Ra and the other gods should no longer be worshiped.  Apparently this idea was not embraced by the majority of Egypt.

well, considering those are normal bodily functions, and Jesus had a normal body, I would have to say yes.\nWhat i wanna know is, how did this even come up?\nyou have an interesting mind.

Jesus did not have white skin and his hair was not straight and brown. He was middle eastern, a poor carpenter, and an average looking guy. He wasn't glamorous. Back then, the skin color of the middle east was a lot darker. Today, they have mixed blood.

Lets see he was a bastard son of Mary, roamed the desert where all the chicks covered themselves from head to toe.  And, oh yeah, he supposedly had a penis.  \n\nFrom the age 15-33 most males have the libido of a dog in heat.  Also they didn't have tighty-whities back then, so the constant movement of the genitals while walking would have kept them in mind, especially if there were some women around.\n\nI think this is a sound theory.  You should consider doing a little more research on the matter and blogging it all for us.\n\nCheers

According to the Bible, he was Jesus' older cousin. People probably thought he was a bit on the loony side, because he hung out in the desert and ate grasshoppers. (crunch) But he also baptized sinners and sort of got the general population in the right frame of mind to recognize the coming messiah. He didn't know it was his cousin until he (John) baptized him (Jesus). Nothing indicates he was ever married. Yes, the spoiled brat-girl was into some Freudian stuff with her parents and asked for his head on a platter. He was beheaded. \n\nAs far as historical fact on him, check out this story: \nhttp://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?ID=18893

I don't remember the reason why the robes which look similar to ones worn by the KKK are use, although I am 90% sure it is to ensure the modesty of the pious. \n\nThose who do this live in spain, the robes are worn during holy week.  They are NOT connected to the KKK at all.

I think it is likely there was, as most myths have some basis in reality.  However, who he actually was is lost to the mists of time.  Check out the link for interesting details, especially about the evolution of the legend.

True, horses are not renowned as surgeons as they lack the thumb that is so useful for holding implements. Although I think you'll find if you re-examine the story it makes no mention at all that Mr. Dumpty was in fact an egg. \n\nWe can't be sure of the facts here, the reports are at best sketchy. I would surmise that the King had a mounted brigade of surgeons and sent them to do a cut and shut job on Humpty, but by the time they got there they could only scrape his head into a bucket and carry it back like an egg in a cup thus adding fuel to the spurious rumors.\n\nEither that or the King was just a Dope!
