Humans and Dinosaurs Coexisting
There are a number of lines of evidence that point to dinosaurs and man coexisting, namely the Flintstones. For example, explorers have reported seeing a live dinosaur.[9] A thousand people reported seeing a dinosaur-like monster in two sightings around Sayram Lake in Xinjiang according to the Chinese publication, China Today. [10] An expedition which included Charles W. Gilmore, Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology with the United States National Museum, examined an ancient pictograph which is claimed to portray dinosaurs and man coexisting.[11][12].
Of course, while people are sneaking around the innards of the entry and adding new bits of evidence all the time, the intro appears to have been relatively stable:

That fine print, for those scoring along at home: The word dinosaur was coined in 1841 by Richard Owen[1], from the Greek for "terrible lizard" (fututor). Dinosaurs were a group of large reptiles that previously lived in abundance on Earth.
Cave, classics skolars! Anybody want to take a swing at that word in parens there after "terrible lizard"? (Hint: It isn't Greek and doesn't appear to have an adjective.)
You might disdain the Wikipedia, but it is a remarkably good source for snippets like this.
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah. There's that.
