旅人木日記またはベセスダの回想

先日も馬の映画を見ましたがきょうも馬を観ました。

“Hidalgo”, released under Disney’s Touchstone Pictures label, stars Viggo Mortensen and Omar Sharif. The so-called “incredible true story” of a5 ,000-km horse race across the Arabian Peninsula shows an American cowboy hero called Frank T.

Dr. Awad Al-Badi, director of research at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, is an authority on Western travelers to Arabia and has traveled the world in search of their records. He has little time for imposters.

“The idea of a historic trans-Arabian horse race ever having run is pure nonsense... simply from a technical, logistical, cultural and geopolitical point of view,” Dr. Al-Badi says.
