yeah, bahamut did live at the top of the mountain. and in ff8 you don't find him deep into the dsrc, you find him in a tube right when you enter the research center. but the location doesn't even matter, as the scientists either found bahamut, or bahamuts baby that grew up, and tested expirements on it, so no matter where they found bahamut, they could have moved it or something.

and i know the crystals were big and whole, but is it not possible that they broke up over time and scattered? the scientists DID expirement on everything they found in the dsrc... or at least i'd figure it's safe to assume that.

sure there ARE a lot of flaws and holes in the theory, and it's just a theory after all. i was really interested in the similarities and the points, because they seemed to work better than any other theories i've heard... or at least most of them.
