Discovered by a German engineer, Brachiosaurus
is considered one of
the largest dinosaurs to have ever walked the earth, were found in the
early 1900s in Tendaguru, a former German colony, in what is now
Tanzania. The Dinosaur is currently displayed at the Natural Science
Museum In Berlin, earning Germany a substantial amount in revenues,
collected from its display.
Our
government should speed up its progress in trying to attain what is
rightfully ours, that's if the progress is there. Imagine the revenues
we can also acquire from displaying this gift of nature. It will also
portray how significant our land really is. This particular Brachiosaurus is actually a composite of at least 5
individuals found at the Tendaguru site. In total, the German
expeditions between 1909 and 1912 brought back the remains of 34
Brachiosaurs, as well as fossils of other spectacular late Jurassic
dinosaurs.
However, the big question is whether weather are ready to bear the cost of preserving
such relics given the expensive means of preserving in terms of
maintaining their natural state and providing security so that they do
not end up in the wrong hands. I bet, our ministers would be the first
ones to sell such relics in black market! If all the gold and silver and
tanzanite have been sold, what will stop them from selling such
valuable items?
