Not made in Constantinople, made in ancient Greece by Lysippos.
The sculptor was Lysippos (ancient Greece).
The lion may be Chinese but the four horses in St Mark's Basilica are Greek looted from Constantinople during the fourth crusade (1204).
Perhaps the lion was also looted and brought to Constantinople originally which would fit with pre Marco Polo's travels.
There is a theory he was from the Greek island of Chios.
"In 1982, Ruth Durlacher hypothesised that Chios was Christopher Columbus's birthplace.[64] Columbus himself said he was from the Republic of Genoa, which included the island of Chios at the time. Columbus was friendly with a number of Chian Genoese families, referenced Chios in his writings and used the Greek language for some of his notes.[65] 'Columbus' remains a common surname on Chios. Other common Greek spellings are: Kouloumbis and Couloumbis."

There was a time not so long ago that people thought the Sun's heat came from burning a vast amout of coal and did not understand the concept of nuclear energy... today we know better. So by exploring the unknown we may unravel a mystery or discover something that improves the lives of mankind.

Not addiction or deaths but long term psychological problems. Surely there are companies lobbying...
https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/03/us-dru...
Some good feedback... not sure why downvoted was a fair enough question?... point was are the long term side effects fully understood before mass circulation? How much lobbying has gone into getting it over the line? Is history going to repeat?
What are the chances there is a repeat of the opioid crisis and in 10-15 years there is an investigation into what went wrong?
