    January 1890: "The Ring Of Thoth" by (later Sir) Arthur Conan Doyle is published. Includes line " *Carter* will be waiting for us at the Palais Royal," ( 5:08 ). November 1922: Howard *Carter* discovers tomb of Tutankhamun. Coincidence? *I think not* Conan Doyle was clearly a witch

    Yes. He could create an atmosphere and rachet up the tension with a few strokes of the pen. That plus a vivid imagination and an insatiable interest in a multitude of subjects marks him out from many others. He is similar to the great Ray Bradbury and Edgar Allan Poe in that respect .

    That's the third time I've listened to this and I discover something new every time largely due to the wonderful delivery (Conan Doyle did a good job too to give him his due;)). You have narrowed the art of narration down to a fine art.

    Doyle was a very wise and learned person. In history, sociology, psychology, the arts, the occult, and much more. What a fascinating author and story. I wonder if this is the largest scale character Doyle wrote, a polyglot immortal from prehistory.
