Thanks radix for the ping, and K4Harty for this cryptozoological topic. :') This gets a GGG ping because of the possible connection with the Periplus of Hanno. The word "gorilla" is actually from the Periplus -- the animal was rediscovered (or, possibly, discovered, and this animal is something else and first seen by the Carthaginians on the expedition) in the 19th century, and someone familiar with the account lifted or transliterated the word from the surviving Greek version. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

(the US population in the year 2100 will exceed a billion, perhaps even three billion.)

I wonder if these great apes would be astounded if they discovered US?
