: Hi.

: I have heard that in the middle 30tys there was a adventurer called
: Robert Ripley. Not an argeolocist, but a collector of all weird stuff.
: He had a museum in New York called Ripley`s Believe or Not. He was
: very interested in China, and he traveled there often.

: Does somebody know something about him?

: Wave

: PS. I got this information about a PC game called Riddle of Master Lu

On occation you'll see his biography on A & E's "Biography" program or TNT. He was a cartoonist who traveled the world in search of odd things and drew cartoons that were printed literally all over the world in newspapers. He eventually created his own museum of sorts that showcased this collection, which I understand still stands to this day. Very interesting man, but not one I would rank as an "Indy" like character. He was more of the refined world traveler of those times. Regards. Michaelson
