Mystery Photo #7


Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  1. When are we going to get the official answers to these mystery pictures? I’m still wondering about Mystery Photo #2, the luminous lady of aluminum.

  2. I’ll give the official answers, with supplemental photos of the same places, when I get back to the US, which would be next week.
    So far at least someone has guessed correctly on each one except #5, which indeed has a Star Wars connection, but no one has yet named the correct real-world location where I’m standing. (Tatouine and Gabes, while real places in Tunisia, are not correct. I’m not either of those places.)

  3. Ahhh, I just stood here last weekend, to my blessed luck. This is the Palantino in Rome, about a mile from the Colosseum, looking out on ancient Rome from the west to the east!
