Also, did you know it's believed that elephant skeletons are where the legend of giant cyclops originates? There was an area somewhere near Greece ? They would apparently find these giant skeletal remains and think they belonged to giant humanoid creatures, and that the large hole on the skull was where the eyes belonged. Interestingly, the ancients would dig up the elephant skeletons and rebury them, treating them like the remains of some bizarre Gods.; May 3, 2009 at 9:57 AM

The skull is so amazing that it would seem not possible to create a sculpture of it that was of more artistic interest than the object itself.
Perhaps that is why Henry is looking so glum.
