"How would you interpret the bomb on the plaque?"
The famous scholar took out a magnifying glass and examined the
photograph in silence for a long time.
"No interpretation is possible; all this is absolutely new. Explained in

snakes, helmeted figures and everything else that can be seen on the
plaque seem to originate from a dream world, from a mythology."

background!"
The professor laughed: '1 have to admit that you have arguments in
your jigsaw puzzle that disconcert even an old fox like me and give me

who is going to bring this sensational archaeological discovery into the

silver mines and leased them to metal firms to exploit. He has become
comparatively rich, but he lives extremely simply and uses all his
wealth for his research work. But Juan Moricz is not rich enough to
engage expert assistance and continue his work on the extended scale
