Recently, I have structured an argument based on Gargantis by Thomas Taylor, from the character Dr Thalassi’s point of view.
Some believe the fish-shaped bottle belongs to the person who found it. Meanwhile, others think the descendants of the people who used the language inscribed on the bottle should own it. A third group argue the experts on the language are the rightful owners.
I strongly believe the ancient fish-shaped bottle belongs in the museum where it can be displayed for the public to see and kept safe. The museum is the number one destination for members of the public to view artefacts of local historical value. As the museum is also housed in a renovated castle, it is the perfect stronghold for the relic. Many people would miss out on viewing the bottle if it were in a small, jumbled shop or fisherman hut or boat. These places also clearly offer little protection.
In addition, I consider myself the local expert on Eerie Script, the language inscribed on the bottle. As there are many examples of the ancient language in my museum, it is only natural that I have spent years studying it. While a couple of people may know a tiny bit more, they are unavailable to make a claim.
Overall, the museum is the perfect place for the artefact to be viewed and kept safe. Also, I am the local professional on the inscribed language.
