Cenotaph702 viewsActually, this isn't really his tomb, which was destroyed by the Turks when they conquered Constantinople. It is a marker, or cenotaph, placed by Italians in the 19th century near the probable site of the tomb.

Desert Diorama702 viewsPart of the Spirit of the West exhibit, which offers a walk through time, beginning with a stroll past a Northern Paiute shelter and a fur trapper’s camp, continuing through a Hudson’s Bay Company fort, past an Oregon Trail wagon, through a hard rock mine, then a settler’s cabin and finally the boomtown of Silver City. Warning: Some of the captions for the pictures feature tongue-in-cheek, politically incorrect comments which are made in a spirit of fun and not intended to be taken seriously but which some people will find insensitive, outrageous, and offensive. Persons of tender sensitivities on ethnic, environmental, or animal rights issues may want to skip this section. In other words, if you don't have an easygoing sense of humor, bugger off.
