The National Constitution Center will host the world debut of Ancient Rome & America – a multi-million dollar, artifact-rich exhibition showcasing the cultural, political, and social connections between the lost world of ancient Rome and modern America – from February 19 through August 1, 2010.

I sincerely hope that the people of this country realize what is happening when it happens, because I think that the implosion when it hits will happen so quickly that the people will have little time to react in the correct manner.

That is a seriously good find.
I would love to go, but no car and living in Atlanta, GA makes it a bit difficult.
If anyone makes it to the ATL then U2U me and we can go to the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University.
They have an insanely cool exhibit of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artifacts.

Metabolic Gold Elixers, drinks made of gold dust are alleged to be the ultimate cure for disease, and to promote longevity.

Though if you drink too much of it, it can lead to metal poisoning, in the right amounts it is alleged to do wonders, and could possibly explain why the current Queen of England is actually older than the Pyramids!

It is possible when you consider the Baghdad Battery, an ancient battery that transformed the acidity of grape juice into a an electric current through copper tubes (likely used then for gold plating jewlery and other art) that the ancients at one point might have actually known how to use gold as a conductor also as we do in modern times.

It's also possible that they may too have known metabolic gold could expand out their lives, and armed with some pre-flood technology, and post flood recreations, combined with their extreme longevity actually seemed to have godlike powers and immortality to post flood humans with no pre-flood knowledge of history or technology.

This is technically what we have been doing. Doesn't sound to romantic or noble, but it's clear some past civilizations tried to live in balance with the host body, and respected it, but Romanization of the world, has basically wiped out all those other cultures that did try to live in balance with nature.

To the extent that someone anyone knows what is truly behind all this, it certainly appears to me that Rome would know.
Since they do truly appear to be orchestrating and driving it all.
