I have no idea what these are, but I would have no doubt
there would be
ancient text describing all manner of giant
dinosaur-like creatures, such as
Chinese legends describing
dragons. European cultures also had legends of
dragons. All
these legends would easily be inspired by the discovery of
dinosaur fossils, which are plentiful. We know them to be at
least 65 million
years old, but someone finding one a
thousand or several thousands of years ago
would have no
idea they were so old. It would then be so easy to imagine
these
bones were left by some contemporaneos creature, and
such a discovery could
have in fact been very frightening.
Imagine yourself in a bygone era
discovering the skull of a
Tyrannosaurus Rex as big as you are. It would be a
bit
unsettling to say the least? Undoubtedly you would speculate
on what this
creature must have looked like, and so would
everyone else. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
