Reaching The Destination
The next day Dr. Wagner was ready to meet the family and the skull that was already in his head 24/7 now. The family greeted the scholar and asked him to sit down before they went further with the discovery for which the scholar was waiting as a child that was ready to receive the gift for the first time. The family was well-mannered and talked to him in a really nice way. After they were finished with the introduction they brought out the discovery in front of Dr. Wagner and he couldn’t control his excitement. His hands were shaking as he held the skull. He needed to investigate the skull before he could say anything for sure.
Poor Condition
The skull wasn’t in a very good condition because of the obvious reason. Firstly, it was unknown to the family and they only found it when they were cleaning the back room of the pub. Secondly, the skull was really old and due to its poor caring, it got yellowed with age. The skull was also missing its jaw bone and several teeth. But still, there was that one thing which was still intact in the skull. What did Dr. Wagner find during his investigation?
So, What Was It?
The family was sitting quietly in the living room while Dr. Wagner was going through other details of the skull. He seemed pretty much lost in the skull. The family called out his name but there was no response from his side as he was that much into the skull. The family waited for Dr. Wagner to tell them something or anything about the skull but they had to wait a little longer as all he said to the family was that he needed to take this skull back to the lab.
Further Investigation
The skull was now placed on a cloth under better lighting and proper instruments and Dr. Wagner was busy getting hold of its minute details that faded away with time. Dr. Wagner knew that he needed some more expertise in this investigation as there were some links which were missing from the skull. He called up few of his colleagues, told them about the discovery which made them very curious because just like Dr. Wagner they were also aware of this ancient skull but now when it was right in front of them they couldn’t remember a thing about it. Whose skull was it? And what was this information that was hidden inside the skull? They found out everything…
Clueless Colleagues
Dr. Wagner’s colleagues were staring at this skull in awe as if it was some kind of magic which was lost in time. Dr. Wagner told them about the email and the family and the pub where it was found, but there were no answers still that could tell anything about the skull. Everybody was waiting eagerly to start the work and solve this mystery of the skull for once and all. They had to start from zero.
Be A Student
Dr. Wagner proposed an idea to his colleagues. He asked them to think like a student rather than a scholar who has spent half of his life reading about the history of the world and what not. A student has a very curious mind which gives them the leverage to think out of the box. It was their luck which brought them together with this skull and because of this artifact they again got a chance to be a student for a while. Things were just getting interesting.
