Thanks! You're absolutely right to point that out. I am careful about things I read. Most importantly, I do my own research afterwards. I've googled (way of speaking) the names mentioned, seen the pictures myself, the paintings, etc. I never ever take what I see for granted. Some coincidences are just too plain obvious, and it's the pattern that's convincing. Regarding symbolism, while they are interesting and often revealing, I still find facts more telling. I don't adhere to the time travel bit at the end at all either.
