In Episode 3.1 some further properties of anomalies are hinted at. The Ancient Egyptians had stumbled across anomalies, and used them to fit into their cultural hieroglyphics. The Egyptian goddess Ammit was in fact Egyptian's interpretation of the prehistoric crocodile Pristichampsus, which had come through an anomaly. The Egyptians used a 'cage' of magnetite (an extremely magnetic substance) to contain and possibly attract anomalies to it.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“Any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing—he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
