Can you be a criminal if there are no laws yet?
Many ideas of why he was fleeing have been raised. No one has mentioned that one thing he was carrying was a very well made copper tool that was fairly large. IN earlier readings I gained the impression that it was a fine large copper tool perhaps a ceremonial knife, and people wondered why he was carrying it. Perhaps he stole it from a village or host. Perhaps he was taking it somewhere to deliver or sell and people wanted to steal it from him. Anyway, that’s my Sherlock guess. It’s my bedtime, can some one else find a picture of this artifact and post it. Actually, I don’t know how to transfer images I find elsewhere to FR.
