After watching ‘The Sixth Sense,’ I’m feeling a little nervous. After all, one of the key plot points in the movie is that the little boy lives in Philadelphia, one of the oldest cities in the U.S. – with lots of history hovering around every corner.
Well, I got your history right here, buddy. Founded in 1682, hah, Philadelphia is a mere pup! Try the 3rd Century B.C.! What if I look out the window and see a Christian slave from 1626? Or a ticked off Roman from 200 AD? Or Yaqub Al Mansur, who’s probably still mad that he never got to finish his mosque? Or a Moroccan who’s a little annoyed that he was bombed to pieces when Austria shelled the city in 1829?
