Religious relics and a couple of Archie comics is my guess. At first I thought it was a hoax from those crazy guys over at the Edinburgh museum, that it was probably really someone's lunch box made out of some copper plumbing and roof flashing. But no, this is the real McCoy. Or MacAlpine. Whichever.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-23168469188005927232011-06-03T14:01:56.149-06:002011-06-03T14:01:56.149-06:00@Adullamite - I certainly wasn't using the wor...@Adullamite - I certainly wasn't using the word petty to demean or to mean "insignificant." I only use it in the historical context of a "minor" kingdom as opposed to larger Kingdoms which emerged from the combining of petty kingdoms. After the fall of Rome in the west, tribes and clans began to form alliances and the larger ones were known (by historians -- I just get this stuff out of books) as "petty kingdoms." There were 4 petty kingdoms in northern Britain which eventually also merged (about A.D. 800) into the larger (non-petty) Kingdom of Scotland. No offense intend.

Ptah...The Picts and Scots 'petty kingdoms?'<br />Ptah! <br />The Romans never conquered them like they did the rest! The 9th Legion walked up into the glens and has never been seen again!<br />(rumours that they were sold to passing Ishmaelites who sold them to American Indians is thought likely with the number of Mafia type gangs in New York)<br />Hmmm I wonder who was in that reliquary? St Andrew I suppose?Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.com
