ground eagles > naked lizards with broken hands

Internationally speaking dinosaurs have never been cooler

>>216133323 (OP)
its kinda freaky how every ancient civilization who had no way to contact each other all came up with the idea of giant flying lizards who breathe fire from the mouths

>>216133898
they didn't. dragons were just big snakes everywhere but in medieval art they evolved into the modern western dragon because they were associated with the devil, the enemy of ywhw in christian mythology, who lives in a realm of fire underground.

>>216133898
They weren't always lizards thoughbeit

>>216133323 (OP)

>ground eagles
So ostriches

>>216133898
it's misinterpretation of dinosaur remains literally look at OP image

listen I know ya'll are half wolves or whatever the fuck but the rest of humanity back then wasn't digging, especially not deep enough to find dino bones

>>216134208
Was it really looking like that? Daym, much better than depiction of them in my childhood.

likewise cyclops is misinterpretation of elephant remains
greek cyclops myth is based on dwarf elephant that used to be in mediterranean region and at the same time central asian turks had cyclops myth based on mammoth remains in central asia

bend over

>>216133898
East asian dragons were more assosiated with water than fire

I was pretty disappointed to find out dinosaurs were shorter than I expected.

I've always pictured T Rex as this huge towering beast. As it turns out, it's like 11-12 feet tall. That could fit in a freakin classroom.
