I've always been interested in the ancient Mayan Civilization. I think it would be cool to take an adventure vacation to explore the remains of this civilization. What's your dream vacation? Does it involve relaxation, adventure, or both?

I took this photo at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. Can you identify the object in the photo? It looks like a giant brain.

What's the Object?

Examine this photograph from the Illinois State Museum website.

What do you think this is? When was it made? Who used it? Why?
