Description
Could Griffins have been real? When Adrienne Mayor carefully read the traditional Greek and Roman descriptions, this mythic hybrid of a lion and an eagle sounded like something folks had in fact seen. What could give an explanation for that evidence? After a decade of hunting through myths, poring over old maps, and tracing the discoveries of brand new dinosaur hunters, she found the solution: awesome dinosaur fossils observed by ancient gold-hunters within the Gobi desert. Here is the story of one insightful, curious, and made up our minds woman who solved the mystery of the Griffin, and invented a new science. Now she and others commute the sector matching myths and fossils.
