Things of Interest
ninewhitebanners: Roy Chapman Andrews (1184 - 1960) was a real-life inspiration for Indiana Jones, good at shooting things and wearing hats. :) Chapman made five expeditions with horses, camels, and cars to Mongolia between 1922 and 1939, collecting rocks and animals. His most important discovery was getting lost in the Gobi and finding dinosaur nests in what he called the “Flaming Cliffs” (Bayanzag). Only one other group of dinosaur eggs had ever been found, so Andrews thought they were huge bird eggs.
