The cocaine in the mummy-flesh is true, and it wasn't Edgar Cayce who came
up with the theory of Peru being Noah's home-port.
I did however, sort of make up the part about eating the seed-stock. I
read a great story once about these Russian scientists who starved to death
during WWver2.0 guarding a warehouse full of wheat. This was the
seed-stock for special hybrids that would grow in near-tundra conditions.
Hmmmm. You know, those Russian days are quite long during the summer and
they do have a lot of tundra. If they planted a big hunk of it in chiles
it might just solve a lot of their economic porblems. I mean have you
ever seen an Alaskan cabbage? 22 hours of sunlight makes them HUGE.
