Well, I was watching this show called,"Weird Travels", the other day,and it was showing a special on crop circles in England, and "Las Linias de Nazca" in Peru.(I'm peruvian hehehe -_-)
Anyways,,,
This peruvian dude,(I think that he was an archeologist), who lives in a town I guess kinda near "las linias", found this vases with ancient drawings from people way before the "Incas", after it rained and the tide was low, in the beach. He started off with one, but now he has a whole entire room filled with them.
This is where it gets interesting...
A few of the vases that he found had DINOSAURS in them. They were drawn WITH the people.
What do you guys think????

well in a way we ARE walking side by side with real dinosaurs.
Hedgehogs and crocodiles are basicly the same animal now as they were 200000 years ago.Some scientists believe that horses were hunted by the famous t-rex.... they were half the size they are now, but they were there....
but back to the drawings, the evidence doesnt quite hold for a solid theory, i have seen a comic book called dino riders, that doesnt really mean that we ride on dinos , now does it.

This sounds fascinating, but it wouldn't prove evolution wrong any more than a kindergarten child's drawing of God making Adam & Eve would prove the Abrahamic religions' creation story true.
You might be interested in a book called _The_First_Fossil_Hunters:_ _Paleontology_in_Greek _and_Roman_Times by Adrienne Mayor. It's about how the ancient Greeks and Romans treated fossils that they encountered. As you might imagine, an awareness of fossils without a clear understanding of the time involved caused them to conclude that the bones were either evidence of living monsters or actually human giants. Mayor then ties some of these finds to very specific mythology in convincing ways. She also has a book on Native Americans called _Fossil_Legends_of_the_ First_Americans. Unfortunately, it's restricted to North America, and so doesn't address finds in Peru.
I wouldn't be surprised if ancient Peruvians had similar finds and developed their own myths about fossil animals that would have been preserved in pottery or other artifacts. The one thing that humans are good at is making up explanations for things we know nothing about. Anyone who's spent time talking to men in bars knows that's true!

My first guess would be that you or someone involved in the production of that show or vase is lying. Dinosaurs were well extinct before the rise of mammals (ie humans). They had to be inorder for larger mammals to evolve.
If the vase's are legitimate there are at least two possibilities: 1) these ancient cultures had uncovered fossils of dinosaurs or 2) they drew monsters on the sides of the pottery and some look like dinosaurs.

Individuals with personal beliefs that require them to reject scientific evidence frequently point to ancient primitive drawings that they would like to interpret as dinosaurs - essentially anything with a long tail and big teeth. Obviously such drawings could have represented crocodiles or any feared predator - OR simply something fictitious. There are plenty of early artifacts with drawings of monstrous "gods" or "demons" that have nothing to do with any living organism, extant or extinct. It is an incontrovertible FACT that no human being ever saw a living dinosaur.

this earth has been visited in the past by at last 3or 4 species of Extraterestrials
the incas have always been connected with one specie the slender big headed big eyed one ,like the one they interviewed in area 51.
they must have landed here as well in the time of the dinosaurs and showed the images to the incas who made the vases .
Evolution is right about animals and plants
this planet was colonised at different times by diffeent Aliens ,the Nordics (refugese from Mars )geneticaly engineered and cloned man and created a slave race to mine gold for them and the Anunaki(the reptilian Alien ) the reptilian brain in our heads is a souvenir of Anunaki genetics.
was that the right answer??????

You say the vases had dinosaurs in them; and you also say they were DRAWN with the people. Which is it? IN them or DRAWN?
When you say Drawn with the People, do you mean like the Flintstones are drawn with the dinosaurs?
I'm not sure there's ANY science in the Flintstones cartoons.
You may have to clarify your question.

Do some old clay pots actually PROVE anything? No, obviously not, they just raise some questions. Are they authentic? Are the "dinosaurs" depicted just part of some mythology? Are we interpreting what we see correctly? Can we find some other evidence to back this up? And so on...

Could mean many things. It could be a work of fiction(modern fiction shows dinours with people) may it was a story.
It could be that dinours and people lived at the same time. Maybe dinsours were here, evolved people came about then they died off.
Or it could be they were made at the same time.
Any way a few drawing with both dinours and people doesn't realy prove or disprove anything but good question though

Someone's lying or drawing the wrong conclusion. Dionsaurs and men couldn't have existed at the same time because one would have wiped out the other.
Mammals bacame the dominant species because the dinosaurs were wiped out.

How old are the vases ?
Who were they made by ?
Have they been tested with C14 (Carbon 14) ?
That could very well be some good evidence that evolution is not completely correct or that evolution takes a lot longer than we think.
