DINOSAUR CARVING

DINOSAUR CARVING

 

I think this will give the sceptics something to think about. My good friend the CEO of Creation Ministries has sent me a wonderful photograph he took this month of a carving of a Stegosaurus in an ancient temple in Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

“The temple was established by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII in 1189. Unlike most temples at Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm keeps its features, like its initial construction. It is covered with the jungles making it one of the most famous temples at Angkor Wat. …

Once the capital of the Khmer empire was destroyed by Siamese, and Khmer kings left to Phnom Penh in the 15th century, the temple had been forgotten and covered by the jungle until it was rediscovered in 1860 by Herri Mouhot.

That is, Siem Reap was once the capital of the Khmer kingdom but the capital was shifted in the 1400’s to Phnom Penh and the temple then fell into disuse.”

This is most interesting because the carving indicates to me that real live people saw real live creatures, living in this area, like these depicted. Thus indicating to this Chimp, as if there was any doubt, that dinosaurs co-existed with mankind not so very long ago..

Gibber! Gibber!

  1. The stegosaurus carving certainly looks like the real deal, but if these creatures were co-inhabiting with people as recently as 1189, I wonder why they are not written about in the many manuscripts of ancient writers, especially Romans, Greeks, Arabs and Chinese….or maybe they were, and I just haven’t heard about them??

    1. Maybe you are right Paul, we just have not read about them. There are plenty of references, eg St George and the “Dragon”, Beowulf and the killing of the monster. Also references in Job to creatures that were maybe “Dinosuars”. Don’t forget the word was not around until the 1800’s. Try reading “After The Flood”, plus you can enquire from https://creation.com/worldwide-contact-information (You will have to copy and psaste into your browser) A massive amount of information here I have found, I’m still sifting through it! Gibber! Gibber! Chugley

      1. Out of interest I’ve Googled some references to StGeorge and the Dragon. It is generally accepted that the folktale character of the Dragon represents paganism and/or evil…but still fascinating all the same! Chugley, if you’re making friends with your fellow zoo residents, stay well clear of a real, modern-day dragon…the Komodo Dragon. He’ll be licking his lips when he sees you!!
