· (possible scenario)
Buamundus is with them. They travel inland along a huge waterway, thru vast lakes, past giant moving walls of water, to a final landing on a tree covered shore. Here Buamundus falls asleep (this being a common disease with giants (numerous incidents recorded)) & cannot be awakened. Andronicus & Junias continue on. They move south &, as old men, find their way among the Mayans (carvings of men with semitic noses having been discovered in Mayan ruins). No record of their preaching is preserved nor is their death recorded. Buamundus sleeps to this day.
· (another scenario)
Travelling inland they discover the Sleeping Giant (their second). Careful not to wake him they continue westward, Buamundus building scattered circles of earth & stone along the way (such being found in Ontario, Alberta (possible proof of a return to earlier beliefs on Buamundus’s part)). Eventually Andronicus & Junias part ways with him (his views seeming, to them, heretical). Buamundus wanders north, falling asleep, is frozen, eventually, his body drifting out to sea (deep source for the Frankenstein legend or, latterly, The Thing &/or the Captain America of the 1960’s). Andronicus & Junias travel over the rockies to the west coast & once more set out to sea. Here all surmises become too entangled in tribal variants for even a tentative outline to have any validity.
