Sometimes, the actual answer to a mystery is a real disappointment, because it's bland and obvious and not what you want it to be. And so we find the Mima mounds of Washington state and all over the world, a rippling expanse of mounds the origin of which has been a mystery... until now, when researchers have determined, they say, that the mounds are the creation not of aliens but of burrowing animals. Gophers, basically, working over many generations, create the mounds, or at least computer models say so. Sure, disappointing, but the truth sometimes is. (BBC)
