109 is Is this the beginning of the Crusades?

thank you, Jim

yes, indeed, this public speech was the beginning of the crusades. I already knew about this, but hadn't read about it in detail yet until now. I can understand that such a fervent speech would rouse many adventure-hungry people to take up arms. It only takes a charismatic figure to lead them on, unfortunately.

and meanwhile, I also listened to your lengthy section. In the beginning, the author lost himself in a bit of a long description about the several oracles

and I immediately knew one should never trust too much in the oracle's prediction.

there is always a catch somewhere. The story was quite interesting, one I hadn't known yet. Thanks for the great narrative. Really good job and totally PL ok.

I decided to assign another section to myself. Being interested in old extinct languages, I'd like to read the chapter 87. How the Chaldaeans wrote books.

You are such a rabble-rouser, aren't you!

Thanks for your patience with my reading--some unevenness here and there. Yours, Jim

I sincerely hope you don't mean that I am inciting anybody to a war ! I'm much too peace-loving for that.

The only quests I would rouse people up to is to read interesting sections for LV

Hello Sonia,
Here is chapter 056.

Were times that much different than now, in war torn areas?
Gets a person thinking that wars and the accompanying strife will be around for a very long time.
It has me feeling a touch more melancholy than usual.
Life can have that effect, I do suppose.

oops, I almost missed this post, April ! Thanks for your section. I try to PL today still, but want to record some of my own sections first.

yes I totally understand your feeling.

Here is chapter 056.

finally got to listening to your section, April. Tragic death at the top of the hill

I found some photographs by John Burke online, but not the one that is mentioned in this text. Maybe it has not survived over all these years.

But, your section has been flawless and I can mark it PL ok immediately. Good job, April !

Just one question: from the beginning till the end of the intro disclaimer (so: up to 0:38) there is a sort of rumbling background noise, which luckily stops when the chapter starts. I was just wondering whether you recorded that part in another room ?

no need to change it for this section though, as it really only affects the intro.

Thanks

Sonia

I thought my statement would not be taken in a negative fashion. Thank you,

Sonia,
Photos online though of course not the one you thought may have been online.
I imagine it was a photo of "the hill of bones" you were looking for?
Possibly it has not survived all those years.
Thank you for the pl okay.

I did relisten to the intro and it was not recorded in a different room. I see the time frame you had mentioned also has a thicker base line than the following sections. I can record it over, if you would like for me to. Let me know.

April
