The Earliest Recorded Rep......


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

On a UK tv prog ( Horizon ) last night they showed a yellow carved 'jewel' on the cask of Tut....

It was thought to be a rare stone but when tested turned out to be glass found in the desert after a meteorite hit the Earth and melted the rocks..........

So, was this the earliest rep ? :g:

And, it also struck me that I have been involved in reps myself........

1981 to 1989 I worked as a service engineer for a firm that built electronic classical ( ie church ) organs,

yes reps of pipe organs ! there's more........ B)

The technical director was Hugh Banton, keyboard player for Van Der Graaf Generator ! a rep of a

rock band :whistling:

I haven't seen the Horizon episode, but I read the news about it.

What I didn't understand was why the much simpler theory of its beign a fulgurite wasn't explored. Did Horizon mention lightning at all?
