And then of course there's the guy in the last century who thought some of the
Mayan characters looked like elephant heads, and wrote a long book about
the conquest of the Americas by the Mongols.  (Details forgotten, read it in
L. Sprague de Camp's _Lost Continents_, a book no psychoceramicist's

ObTrueFact: Marcus Aurelius re-settled a Scythian tribe from the Black Sea in
