All cool stuff, as a history nerd the undies bit was the only I didn’t know!
You knew about the snails?
Yep, I knew it was a key part of the Phoenican Empire. Imperial Purple! That’s why a lot of purple things are called blue, purple was such a rare colour that there was no common usage name for it. And the alphabet yes, been around for a while

@voodoo this one got me good
And here's me looking up the actual passages ...
D'oh ...
When all the people were being baptized by John, Jesus also was baptized. [L And] While Jesus was praying, heaven opened
[L For] God loved the world so much that he gave his ·one and only [only; unique; T only begotten; 1:14, 18] Son so that whoever believes in him may not ·be lost [T perish], but have eternal life.
John answered, “If you have two ·shirts [tunics], share with the person who does not have one. If you have food, share that also [Is. 58:7].”
He had healed many people, so all the sick were pushing toward him to touch him.

Make whatever sense of that you will ...
