Pardon me as I laugh at myself as when I first read that my brain defaulted at the 1968 (the year I was born) and thought, well I guess I’m not related to John here.
He probably meant 1957 B.C.

“Lonely” George, who died at somewhere near age 100, in 2012. "fathered at least 800 offspring, saving his species, Elephant Turtles. He did have help from science though.
En route from Hong Kong to Bangkok, 1991. Turning west we made landfall just south of Da Nang, Vietnam.

Kinda sending the 19th century Polish Army to the Great Plains in a war against the Sioux!!
