In this new series, I will discuss mysteries under our noses. We think we have it all figured out, but the world keeps giving us new shocks-- like the largest pyramid found in Guatemala--the biggest structure in the history of the world--went unnoticed until the 20th century!
I admit I started college as an archaeology major and then thought to move to anthropology. I grew up digging up relics from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and placing them in our display cabinets. I cannot think of much that is more exciting than unearthing mysteries. What is a bigger mystery than the Moi statues on Easter Island which -- apparently have bodies!
i didn't know they had bodies either!
ReplyDeleteMy Uncle had several deer heads mounted on the wall of his den and I convinced a cousin that the rest of the deer was hanging on the other side of the wall. That poor little kid looked all over the house for the deer body.
ReplyDeleteRe: The Easter Island heads... Hell, I didn't know that either!!!
