Cyprus and its ancient sorcerers
It's funny how it works for those who are antagonistic to the Bible. If the Bible records an incident it can't be believed, but if Pliny the Elder, a Roman author, philosopher, naval captain, and naturalist, who lived between 23 AD to 79 AD, mentions it in his writings then it must be true.
