Transcript

Jesus' plus a number was found engraved upon the wall of an ancient Egyptian tomb, dating back more than three thousand years. Believe it or not. In a moment I'll tell you a story concerning the treachery of kings.

King Edward IV of England was warned by an astrologer that one of his brothers, whose name began with a letter G, would murder the king's two sons. As a result of this macabre prediction, the king ordered his brother, George, drowned in a cast of wine.

His foul deed did not save the lives of his sons. The two princes were subsequently executed by the king's other brother, the Duke of Gloucester, who was then crowned as Richard III. Believe it or not.
