link I suspected as much when it took Randy Orton so long to climb the ladder to retrieve the belts.
"Come on, Cena! I don't have all night!" It appears that not all ancient papyri dealt with heady matters of state.
It is also interesting how such a contract survives to be dug up and translated. Why this, and not something else? |

It survived because the signatories had good reason to make sure it was safe, sound – and out of the reach of the law! |
