ANCIENT FRENCH TAPESTRY |
NEW DINO PICTURES
Greetings all my fine friends out there! And how do you all fare this week? Well for me, summer is here for good with temperatures sailing into the 100s F. Shade trees are a treasured commodity when it gets this hot! Hopefully all of you in the northern hemisphere are able to stay cool and those of you in the southern hemisphere are able to keep warm.
Speaking of places around the world, I would like to share some “new” depictions of dinosaurs I “discovered” from several countries.
“To the left is an urn from Caria, which was located in Asia
Minor (Turkey). This artifact (described in Thomas H. Carpenter's 1991 book Art and Myth in Ancient Greece: A Handbook) is estimated to be from 530 BC. It depicts what appears to be a mosasaurus with several known sea creatures. The animal behind the sea serpent is a seal, while an octopus is below the sea serpent along with what seems to be a dolphin. The thick jaws, big teeth, large eyes, and positioning of the flippers on this creature match a mosasaurus skeleton very well. Some mosasaurus species also had a narrow cranial crest behind the eye that may have had a fin attached the way it is depicted on the Carian urn. Other artifacts of interest from this region came to light after the deluge and landslide of 1971 in the small village of Girifalco.”1



gneiss that have been found in Bushmanland, South Africa. Amongst the many depictions, dinosaur footprints, and other artifacts in this region; two are of special interest. One resembles a sauropod dinosaur and the other looks like an attempt to depict a pterosaur.”4
“A tapestry at Château de Blois, France, portrays a dragon (and its baby) with gnarly horns on its head that are reminiscent of the dinosaur Dracorex hogwartsia.”5

Evidence of man and dinosaurs living together just keeps showing up!
Until next time, God bless and take care,
