[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3150369, member: 10461"][URL='http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/belle/images/artifacts-personal.html']Here's one that had me scratching my head[/URL]. Look at the artifacts found aboard the wreck of French explorer La Salle's flagship, [I][URL='http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/belle/index.html']La Belle[/URL][/I], which sank off the coast of Texas in 1686. Specifically, the item at the bottom right of the page: [ATTACH=full]806979[/ATTACH] Somebody [I]finally[/I] posted a sensible explanation after I shared this on the FAC boards in 2012, but not before that thread got hijacked and dragged off into lunatic fringe territory. See if you can guess what that explanation is (without the nutty tangents in the FAC thread). ;)[/QUOTE]
