In 1982 Russell E. Burrows stumbled on a cache of ancient weapons, jewels and gold sarcophagi in a remote cave. These relics suggested that Roman-era explorers had been in the area and touched off a firestorm of controversy. Now Frank Joseph says that they're highly likely to be authentic artifacts left by Mauretanian rebels escaping from the Roman Emperor Caligula. High adventure, hours of wonderment!
