Debunking Marlowe

First, let me say that as of this moment, there's no way for me to know what's happening in the lab where, presumably, Sam Bailey's Iron Maiden is being scrubbed for genetic research materials. Rest assured, I'm working on it.

Yesterday, I came across the theory that the Comte de St. Germain was, among other people, famed English playwright Christopher Marlowe. Among other works, Marlowe wrote "The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus", which was a personal favorite of mine as well as probably his most well-known. Frankly, the history nerd in me loves the idea of Sam Bailey as the author of that particular work. Shakespeare was his contemporary, and some folks probably know him first and foremost as Ben Affleck in Shakespeare in Love.

At the same time, there are two problems. First, the bulk of Marlowe's work extended from 1584-1616, which according to the Resurrection of Antelao were among the years Sam Bailey was held in captivity by the inquisition. Secondly, they look nothing alike in their portraits.

Much as I would love it, all the evidence to date suggests that Sam Bailey did not write "The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus".
