  4. Does anyone recognize the museum that allegedly exhibits this object? Remember that Carl Sagan was convinced by the many reproductions around the world of what looked like dinosaurs that he wrote the (absurd) book, The Dragons of Eden claiming "The pervasiveness of dragon myths in the folk legends of many cultures is probably no accident." He devised an absurd explanation for this. But regardless, does anyone recognize that museum?

  5. "Allegedly" exhibits this artifact? Really? And what's your non-ansurd explanation for the very widespread tales and depictions of dragons or dragon-like creatures?

  7. Is the museum set up like a maze and does it serve meatballs in the gift shop?
