Recording in progress. Okay. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Four. Three. Two. One. I'm Dylan Thurress. I'm Johanna Mayer. And I'm Amanda McGowan.

And this is that was fun. And this is Atlas Obscira, a celebration of the world's strange, incredible, and wondrous places.

Today we have a mailbag listener episode where we answer travel questions, life questions, strange, esoteric questions.

And, yeah.

Amanda, I feel like you're kind of on the esoteric beat for the show.

I feel like you are weird, like, spiritual psychedelic questions.

I feel like our guy have your name on them.

So we're going to answer them after this.

I've got this Santa sack of mail over my shoulder.

I'm ready to go.

Thank you. I've got this Santa sack of mail over my shoulder. I'm ready to go. Coming in hot.

First question from a listener who did not leave her their name.

This one came via email.

What is the world's most overrated landmark? I enjoy smack-talking, like, big

overrated landmarks. There's a lot of smack talk you can do. Like, like, the Mona Lisa's, like,

fine. Oh, the Mona Lisa is a terrible experience. Yeah. Yeah. You're, like, packed into a room with a billion people looking at a relatively small painting that you've seen before.

But you're not even going to see it.

You're seeing the back of a sea of heads.

I mean, it's the same thing with Starry Night at, I think it's at MoMA.

Anytime you go there, it's like there's a full 12-foot wall of people taking photos of the most famous painting in the way.

It's like actually, I really think that museum should ban cameras.

It like totally degrades the experience.
