Elephant with some birds on it?
I think the spines are part of the background, a bush or a tree or something. Also saw an elephant. Elephant standing in front of a bush.
I was thinking pig
Who knows? Maybe just an imaginary creature with some fins on its back that happens to look like a dinosaur. The problem is that armchair archaeologists think “this looks like that” has significance when it usually doesn’t.
Hang on. Is he showing this is proof that ancient civilizations had shrinking rays and could turn tiny dinosaurs into rocks, and build them into arches?
I’ve heard stupider. Unfortunately.
The argument here is that humans lived among dinosaurs. Probably some creationist meme where Earth is just a few thousand years old.
Literally an elephant with a bush behind it
Looks like a boar to me.
^why hello there mr obelix i’m a big fan :)^
That’s clearly an early 2nd century depiction of Your Mum
That’s clearly a moomin
Of course because there is no way the craftsman who made that couldn’t have used artistic license. Or for that matter never observed fossils.
We honestly have no way of knowing (unless this is some sort of common religious iconography, which it might be) what whoever carved it was thinking and why at this point. But I think ‘dinosaur’ is probably the worst answer.
You absolute fools. This is proof they had time travel!
My nephew has a bunch of depictions of dinosaurs in his room.
The only logical conclusion is that dinosaurs have roamed the earth within the last 6 years.
Wait what does this prove?
Gullibility mostly.
That’ll do idiot, that’ll do.
Uh, I’ve actually seen it. It’s located in Cambodia in the Ta Prom temple (also called Tomb Raider Temple, because they filmed parts of the movie there). It’s a beautiful temple just a couple of km East of Angkor Wat.
I’ve heard that archeologists believe it depicts a water buffalo with some leaves in the background.
Until today water buffalos are being held as work animals to carry stuff, pull weagons and plow fields.
Above that is a tailless kangaroo.
And and below it is a Muppet mermaid.
Richie Cunningham never gets old.
Sit on it, Potsie! It’s a dinosaur if I say it’s a dinosaur!
You’re not FlyingSquid!
Oh, wait…
