    Here's a question posed in the symposion about JC's death (http://www.ancientworlds.net/aw/Post/1050403) and it's answer by Dr, Fagan (http://www.ancientworlds.net/aw/Post/1050579).
    It is something we had a chance to discuss before, but I feel more can be said.
    I'm with Silvia in the feeling that Jc had a very strange attitude in those last days. None can be supported by evidence, and I know. It's more of a philosophlical debate if you want.
    And I don't thing JC went to the meeting knowing he would be killed there. I think his survival instinct was too trong (as well as his pride) to go for it. But still... thereìs something tht doean't seem in line with his character.
    Can anybody give me a conving theory of why a man who's always been able to understand and manipulate his fellow-beings suddenly became so blind to their intentions, when he must have had some kind of info?
    I gave my own view of the fact a lonf while ago (http://www.ancientworlds.net/aw/Post/806059) and, that was months before I saw the "documentary" Who killed Julius Caesar? where Garofano and Bursztajn are giving their hard to prove interpretation.
    Plus, I also read somewhere that Dr, Bursztajn kind of denied the conclusion he came to in the documentary saying he hadn't all the documents in his hands. Can anybody point to an interview or a paper where he denies it?
