History Brought to life

The Magna Carta is fabulous, as is the Mappa Mundi at Hereford Cathedral.

But the item I found most intriguing was a lump of grey/white stone in the British Museum...the oldest item they have on exhibition. An Olduvian chopper, from olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. It's 1.8 million years old!

In California they have what's called the "Huntington Museum" and he bought anlot of the tapestries out of castle's throughout Europe and has them on display, and old copy of the Gluteinburg Bible also, and other relicts..it's an cultureal weath of relicts from the past. I was in absoute "awe" going through it.For people may of thought castle's were dark and gloomy come over and take an look at the fantastic wall hangings in their rich colors an vibrant patterns. Mr. Huntington was an very wealthy railroad barron of his day.

I recently found out that i lost a relative on R.M.S. Titanic, all i really know is that they were male, and they were a stoker, and they went down with this great ship, and also i  lost a relative on another great ship, which was bombed.

I have tried to find information on this person on The Titanic, but to no avail, and unfortunately the person who could have told me more about my relative died.

So what a mystery.
