A Golden Sphere and Old Bones

A buried palace of study in sandy stone, with four rooms above and three below, each ruled by a different science. Top left, two scholars point at a huge golden sphere on a round dais, with a hieroglyph frieze behind. Next, a researcher with a clipboard stands at a round table with a miniature sand dune. The third room shows a man studying golden nuggets in glass cases. The fourth is a workshop of giant iron gears, where a man adjusts a machine. Below, two researchers handle a huge fossil jawbone beside a dinosaur skeleton. In the middle room a bearded elder and a young helper read tablets covered in strange letters. On the right a man writes at a desk by a curtained window and lamp. The fossil jawbone and the dinosaur skeleton stand out pale and sharp against the gold, impossible to misplace.
