Zinj – Scientist of the Day

On the morning of July 17, 1959, Mary Leakey, an English anthropologist, was digging by herself at a site in Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. 

A bit of July 17th history...

Deep in the jungle lost to time

Explores search, looking for remnants of history; a world long since forgotten

A crew lead by their captain set sail

Follow the bread crumbs, the destination is near

Land on hollow ground, a sight not seen for a milinlion

A lost silver laden city, with buildings out stretched to the sky

Soaring stone arches, wide streets leading to the rivers edge; seeming to once be pathed in gold

Time spent there took it's toll

What was lost may not have wanted to be found

Plagued with hardships, hindered by dangerous animals and deadly disease

All that will come from such endeavors is the traveler becoming lost too...

Once found, it's secrets must remain as such

Search til you've reached your goal, you've obtained your life's work

Now history will obtain your life as payment in return...
