I share the same bemusement over the gent who - in the heydays of snake-oil,miracle pills, potions, spurious "spirit contacts" and voices, general wholesale gullibility in "spiritual" matters etc... - wandered up a mountain [or small hill, praps] and, allegedly, came down a bit later with deity-delivered sheets of gold, bearing a message that said he could start a new religion and have a lot of ladies for company..............
Course, I don't expect anyone else was allowed to look at these artifacts, 'cept his mates (male, of course) rather later on.
Daft as a yard-brush ? Nah, just a holy good business man.........
