They asked. Why are there so many ancient pics of dragons from history and folklore?? Duhhhhhh ;because they are dinosaurs. The word dinosaur did not come into being until owen called them that back in the 1800`s. Prior to that they were called dragons. Dinosaurs walked the earth with man at one time which put`s evolution in another bind. Carbon dating is not accurate and the chineese have drawings of dinosaurs pulling chariots.

>> chineese have drawings of dinosaurs pulling chariots
They also have paintings of Huang Di in Heaven. Does that mean that Huang Di is God?

I liked how they differentiated between chinese dragons and japanese dragons. The Chinese dragons lose claws while flying EAST, which is why the ones in japan only have 3 claws. The Japanese say it's because the japanese dragons GROW two claws while flying WEST, which is why the dragons on China had FIVE claws.
I just love goofy creation stories.

I thought it was pretty cool really. I loved the Chinese dragons flying about here and there. So what if early man's dragons were really dinosaurs? Learning and knowledge never stops! (and when it does, your dead)

I tend to agree. They are the cultural memories of the last of the dinosaurs as they tended to die off or were killed off
There are many petroglyph s around the world, American Indian petroglyph of sauropods and flying pterodactyl like animals. There are sauropods like animals depicted in the middle ages and numerous ones in China as well known
This would make sense if there were a few left here and there which were being killed off. They could not live as they did in the world before the flood which was more ideally suited for large and long lived animal life
Of course... there was a T Rexx fossil in MOntanna 2 or 3 years ago .. where the femure bone was too large to load in the helicopter. They cut it and inside was red meat, squishy vein like things and blood cells... doesn't sound like something from 65 million years ago to me
