"'This is their place, Papa. Their ancestors built it. And put on the globe there the symbol of a wave breaking in front of the setting sun, which every man of the islands has worn as a tattoo for thousands of years. I saw it! And you know what? I can prove that no European has been into this cave before me.' Daphne looked around, chest heaving with passion. 'See the gold on the gods and the globe and the big door?'
'Yes. Of course, dear. I could hardly fail to notice.'
'There you are, then,' said Daphne, picking up the lamp. 'It's still here!'"
- Terry Pratchett, Nation
