How would you understand it, lol. It would be written in all old languages probably.

And your point is? You do know alot of documents withheld by the Vatican has been translated . And what makes you think I have not learned foreign languages including latin? You just presume i suppose.

Not to mention all the artifacts that they have managed to get there hands on over the years .

Agrees that would be interesting, to also find out how old there really are, documents or artifacts. Oh and also to find out any other scandals the church has covered up over the decades.

Just because you have translated text means nothing. I could write about my life today in english. Then in 200 years someone can translate into there language, and the messege would be totally lost. There is not enough words in language that can explain and tell people what life is and what people mean.

Remember one feeling, can be a million words.

All i am saying is that no matter if you could understand the language, does not mean you could understand the meanings of the words etc...

Things are far more complex.

There was a new Temple to Bacchus and Bath House Dedication somewhere else? I was waiting for my credit file to repair itself? I got lost on the way to the corner store? I got kidnapped by space aliens? I was ducking my wife's divorce attorney? I fell asleep at a company picinic? I hit my head and got amnesia? My Volkswagen Micro-Bus broke down in the desert. I ran into Lola who walked like a woman and talked like a man? My dog got lost in the woods?

I must have got lost some where down the line...J. Giles, speaking to Kenneth on his own Frequency!

Trust me, I've been there countless times and there are a lifetime of things to study in the Vatican that are not hidden in the archives.
