Episode Description
Elfin learns that there are still many things in the world that Man knows very little about. Mr. Murgle and the elf take an imaginary journey to Stonehenge, ancient Egypt, Petra, and the remarkable Easter Island in the Pacific. Someday they will find the answer to these mysteries, remarks Mr. Murgle, for didnt they uncover the mysteries of Egypt with the Rosetta stone? Perhaps, they will uncover other Rosetta stones to solve many of the other mysteries of the past. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
