The cold of winter came and King Solomon told his wives:

It is necessary to arrange everything so that the cold does not penetrate your rooms.

A thousand rooms, a thousand beds, a thousand chimneys. A thousand nocturnal visits. A thousand whims.

Three thousand years later, a thousand descendants of the King, in a program of advanced genetics intend to bring him back to life. The secret lies in the collaboration of the thousand descendants so that each one contributes a part of the genetic composition necessary to configure the complete map. Through a process of replication and integration it is possible to breathe life into the cells formed from the genetic information of all the descendants. It is as if Solomon knew that he had to beget at least a thousand children to ensure his passport to eternity.

And so it has happened. Solomon has awakened from a dream of more than three thousand years and will help us to understand the past and the future.

Las mil esposas

Llegaron los fríos del invierno y el Rey Salomón le dijo a sus esposas:

-Es necesario disponerlo todo para que en vuestros aposentos no penetre el frío.

Mil aposentos, mil lechos, mil chimeneas. Mil visitas nocturnas. Mil caprichos.

Tres mil años después, mil descendientes del Rey, en un programa de genética avanzada pretenden volverlo a la vida. El secreto está en la colaboración de los mil descendientes…
