5. It did have me wondering.

A reasonable explanation is that what I was interpreting as a scuba mask and breathing tube was something else entirely, something that would have made total sense to the people of that time and place.

Some years back, in the South American Hall of the Natural History Museum of the Smithsonian, one small artifact on display looked exactly like a small model of a jet fighter of some kind. I was told it was a cicada. But cicadas don't have the kind of upright triangular tail of a jet fighter, nor do they have the top cross piece that some of them sport. Perhaps the artist merely took a lot of artistic license in his rendering of a cicada. The South American Hall has long since been replaced with something else, so that interesting artifact is in storage somewhere. Who knows if it will ever see the light of day again?
