Codex Sinaiticus almost lost in history except for one man in search of truth
In 1844, German biblical scholar Constantin von Tischendorf traveled to the remote St. Catherine’s Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai, where his obsessive hunt for ancient manuscripts took a dramatic turn.

The Church of Rome is generally believed to be headquartered in a place known as Vatican City (its claimed ‘spiritual throne,’ called the ‘cathedra’ is located in Rome itself in a place called the Basilica of St. John Lateran).

The root of the word "Vatican" is derived from the Latin "vates", meaning "seer, soothsayer", which in turn is an Etruscan loan-word. [1] Indeed, the Vatican Hill was the home of the Vates long before pre-Christian Rome. Vaticanus, also known as Vagitanus, was an Etruscan god of prophecy, and his temple was built on the ancient site of Vaticanum (Vatican Hill).
