Behind the scenes[]

For the original hardcover print version of the book, there are at least two printing variations. The most noticeable difference can be found on page 100, in a call out for the Greco-Roman facade of the Grail Temple: one printing of the book list the construction of the temple as 1000 CE, while the other printing incorrectly uses the year 1000 BCE.
