They were warm blooded
They were actually in a weird limbo between warm-blooded and cold-blooded, with many features pointing in different directions.

We do now know that dinosaurs were the four bearers of birds. Those that told us they were reptiles still continue to push that however. They were warm blooded and it is now thought they had some sort of pre feathers.
I believe the same thing applies to archeology, The Experts claim to have an answer to every question and impute things on the ancient cultures that they have no way of knowing.

That’s not my experience at all. “The Experts” are extraordinarily cautious to make assertions even when they’re well supported. They talk about “models” and are happy to revise and update their positions when contrary evidence emerges.
Pseudo scientists have answers for everything.

At every period of human history experts have claimed to have all of the answers to every question. They’ve never been right about that but people assume now they are. Dinosaurs are a case in point, as egypt, peru, et al are.

you have no idea about how scientific method works. It’s the furtherst thing from being dogmatic and claiming to know everything. When you look at modern science, you don’t look at a “that was like this” statement, it’s more of “that’s what we discovered so far, it’s weird, so we re-checked it with every method availeble to us, here’s all the data we have and how we checked it”.
I dare you to read at least one actual scientific article before you claim anything about modern science. It’s easy to badmouth it and fentasize about your own reality when all you read are nothing more than rewrites and interpretations of said articles, made by journalists that want to write front-pagers, not to represent the data correctly and substantionally.

This is straight from the Pseudo Scientist playbook, well established Graham Hancock shtick.
