People “knew” about dinosaurs and giants (for the less obviously-lizardy bones) for thousands of years. A lot of them were not very far from the surface.
The idea of Dinosauria has only been around like three hundred years, so you can see why myths prevail. Personally I think Pterosaurs are much more fascinating than any fictional Dragons, but this post is about dinosaurs.
This image is slop.
Dinosaurs skeletons were thought to have come from dragons until the 1800s
T-Rex flying around with those tiny arms/wings
Exactly, if you can do a pull-up you can’t fly
Top is slop.
Bot is submissive, and also slop.
alright… lets talk
Why aren’t they called flynosaurs?
Those are the P-Terrydactyls
Skeletons got a femur in his arm.
The reason I’m not ready for this conversation because I"ve heard too many Young Earth Creationists say “There are dragons in da bible, and dinosaurs kinda look like dragons! Therefore, Dinosarus didn’t die by meteor they died in da flood!”
So you’re saying dragons are just big chickens?
Do you think the thigh and breast muscles would be tough and gamey, or do you think it would scale similarly as chicken to turkey?
There’s probably a timeline where T-Rex was hunted to extinction like the Mammoth, or was domesticated for food like cattle, pigs, and other modern dinosaurs.
“I’d like a 20 piece dragon mcnugget with spicy cretaceous sauce please”
Dragon legends predate Colombus.
And are also common to hundreds of separate cultures from around the world
i think lots of those “dragons” are so vastly different, that giving them an umbrella term is nothing but an exercise in categorisation. similar how every culture has demons and gods, even though they are so vastly different.
creationists would agree with you
just started watching forrest valkai’s latest video about this exact subject

Welcome back to Reacteria!
If Erica had been there it would’ve been an 8 hour video, and I would’ve still watched the whole thing.

Is the conspiracy theory that the giant wings were eaten, and that an ancient society ate dragon wings like we eat Buffalo wings and that’s why there’s only tiny arms?
