It’s possible. A month or two back I was reading all the accumulated titles on the various buried cities of Vesuvius. One of the great houses in Herculaneum was identified as having belonged to Julius Caesar’s father in law, and a brazier chipped out during the excavations was probably used by Caesar to warm his hands as he entered the house during one of his numerous visits.
Michael Wood’s “In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great” is a cool documentary (despite Wood’s anti-Israel BS and over-reliance on at least one unreliable source) and his aim (as the title suggests) was to literally follow Alexander’s route. The one place in the world where it’s actually possible to follow his route within inches is the temple in Siwa, Egypt, which survives, and the front entrance isn’t very wide. :’)

It’s Kramer and thanks. Our library has more than six books. But Most of them are the equivalent of watching TV. Mostly crap. Didn’t mean to mislead. I really enjoy the GGG list. And just for the hell of it I have read Sitchin, Temple, Monroe, Castenada, and others. I’m just a lowly cabinetmaker living in a town of 3,000 people. If I had access to a nice big library , I would at least be a well read lowly cabinetmaker.
I did like The Masks of God series by Campbell.

:') I'm glad to hear you're a cabinetmaker. That's worthy work, IMHO. Of course, I live here in the old
Furniture City. :')
The
local library here offers inter-library loans, which I've only tried the one time, and it worked great. Basically, the guy tracked down
an old sci-fi work and got it for me in pretty short order. The loan time was longer than usual, because of the need for transit here and back. And the book came from a library in Illinois. Maybe your local library does that, worth checking out.
