1455, Bellini: (lions are no doubt extinct in that particular Desert). I used to be a volunteer worker at the LA County Museum of Natural History, Paleontology Department. They have a cellar with tons of La Brea Tar Pits fossils including probably thousands of saber toothed Tiger "fangs". Sold to the Japanese (who crave such things as keepsakes or investments); one could make millions. ... St. Jerome... http://www.museumsyndicate.com/images/6/59324.jpg ... Speaking of cellars, I'm reminded of the Vatican Archives. They should consider auctioning off those texts, then using the money for Abhishekam Yagyas. (but somehow I doubt the Pope would go for that).
