Griffin

The holiday of Ramadan is quickly approaching! The last class of the semester featured a bit of fantasy as the participants created a Griffin: one of the Mythical Animals (Hayawanat Khorafiya, in Darija) which had been part of a lesson earlier in the year. By sheer coincidence, there might be a connection between today's Griffin project and the previous week's Triceratops assemblage. Some historians speculate that the myth of the Griffin was created in ancient times when miners looking for gold found the bones of a Triceratops-type dinosaur in their excavations.
