Are we talking of a Russian Nick?

Nick22 · **Reply #183 on:** March 31, 2005, 01:06:58 PM

Yes, we are Malte.

Malte279 · **Reply #184 on:** March 31, 2005, 01:15:02 PM

Alexeij Tschirikow?

Grigori Schelikow?

Nick22 · **Reply #187 on:** March 31, 2005, 04:04:07 PM

No. This person is very well know, he has several areas in Alaska named after him.Hint Hint

Alexander Baranov (with a castle named after him)?

Nick22 · **Reply #189 on:** April 01, 2005, 12:50:50 PM

Nope. Bering was the guys name, the Bering Sea is named after him, and the land bridge that once connected the asian and North American continents is called Beringia.

But he was NOT a Russian! This is why I did not name Bering after asking whether we are looking for a Russian. Bering worked for the czar, but he was a Dane.

I didn't know that Malte. Since I goofed, you can ask the next question.

My body was brought home in a barrel of whiskey to slow decomposition. What was left of my body that is. I lost my eye and one arm on earlyer occassions. But at least I was on Victory.

Lord Horatio Nelson

Good going!

I didn't expect that the first guess would be correct! Your turn Nick.

Nick22 · **Reply #195 on:** April 02, 2005, 09:03:48 PM

I helped to find a boy-king.

Malte279 · **Reply #196 on:** April 03, 2005, 04:09:14 AM

Merlin, with Arthus being the boy-king?

Nick22 · **Reply #197 on:** April 04, 2005, 08:58:35 AM

Nope. I didn't find the king, but I helped in other ways.
Nick

Malte279 · **Reply #198 on:** April 04, 2005, 12:00:26 PM

Is it possible that you are thinking of a character from the bible...? No, the one I have in mind actually DID find the boy-king (to be).
There are also examples from Greek sagas, but in anyone I can think of the character at least met the boy-king (e.g. Odysseus / Ulisses who found a way to discover the young Achillieus who had been disguised as a girl hidden among many other girls).
It would be helpful to have a little more hints Nick.

Nick22 · **Reply #199 on:** April 04, 2005, 01:20:53 PM

this boy king was found in the 1920's. That should be a good hint.
