During my investigation to write this novel I've co across so 'facts' I found amusing and thought of sharing them. So of them already found their way into this novel and maybe I'll add others too.
Please keep in mind that DRS is a work of fiction, even if it's based on actual mythology and lore. Also, not all the following facts are based on trusted sites or academic papers.
1.- The horned rabbit, commonly known as 'Jackalope' in the U.S., is one of the most common and widespread cryptids, It even appears in the Wyoming hunting & fish departnt official website.
2.- Many animal species were regarded as cryptids until their existence was proven, several years after the first sightings in so cases. So examples of these animals are: Komodo dragon, Platypus, Okapi, Giant squid, Narwhal and Kangaroo.
3.- When captain John Hunter sent physical evidence of the existence of the platypus, it was deed as a hoax by the scientific community.
4.- The reason why so few mummies made it to this day is due to the widespread belief that they were an appropriate dicine for the bubonic plague, among other qualities attributed to them.
5- Out of place artifacts (oopart for short) are artifacts found in a context that challenge the established tiline. One of the most known ones is the fragnt of the Antikythera which is believed to be so sort of analog computer created by the antient Greek.
6- Kukulkan's Pyramid, also knowns as 'castle' by the locals, has an exact amount of 365 steps, one for each day of the year.
7- Cleopatra is closer to the invention of smartphones than she is to the creation of the pyramids on the established tiline.
8- There's over 200 geoglyphs in the Colorado desert, among which is a group called the 'Blythe intaglios'.
9- There's a rudintary wall located in California in the hills of San Francisco bay area.
10- There's a place called 'Skinwalker Ranch' in Utah, where multiple unexplained events have taken place including shapeshifting creatures, strange sounds and roars in the night and animal mutilation.
11.- There's a place in Vermont near the Glastenbury mountains referred to as 'Vermont triangle' where people have been reported missing. UFO sightings, bigfoot sightings and strange lights and sounds have also been reported. There's several similar places around the US.
12.- So astounding anthropological discoveries had been made by house owners performing renovations on old houses. There's records of secret rooms or even entire underground buildings. This is particularly the case in so places in Europe where using old buildings as foundation for newer buildings was a fairly common practice.
13.- Two original frescoes were recently discovered in a 'black room' banquet hall in Pompei. Such findings, while unusual, are not completely out of the norm. Such is the case of the known 'ancient roman artifact' used as a coffee table for fifty years.
14.- Electromagnetic anomalies can be found all over our planet. One such place is the road leading to 'Lago Chungara' in Chile, where the magnetic pull is so powerful there's record of cars that despite being turned off, slowly move uphill.
