What do you think would happen (I know, everyone's asked this before)?
What do you think would happen (I know, everyone's asked this before)?
I did a bit of research about these cave paintings of supposed dinosaurs and I have a couple of explanations for these coincidences.
Have you ever looked up at the clouds and saw the shape of an animal or object? I sure have; I have seen the heads of dinosaurs on multiple occasions. It's called pareidolia. This would explain the dinosaurian paintings. The only reason why we are seeing dinosaurs in the paintings is because that's what we want to see.
As for the Stegosaurus carving at the Ta Prohm Temple, the plates are meant to represent the ornamental flourishes found on other animals at the temple. The rest of the animal is meant to resemble a rhinoceros or a chameleon.
Don't call me lazy for not attempting to search for things. I did my research. Without referencing specific details or instances, chances are that there would be lots of confusion.
Imagination springs to mind. Fusing different elements and features of different animals also is a good candidate. It's no different to ancient cultures creating mythical creatures, such as sirens and the sphinx. This is where paredolia comes into play. They didn't think they were long extinct animals, they were their own creation. It's people nowadays who are associating them with pterosaurs, dinosaurs etc..
Well thats pretty huge coincidence that all around the world they came up with the same exact thing. its like when Marvel DC and Mcdonalds all came up with Spiderman...enyways. id like to end this talk already.
Why does my name have a word next to it that says Warned?
Indeed, they are coincidences. However, each culture has their own interpretations.
You have a warned tag on your user page because you have continued to comment on the topic of cryptids even after I politely asked not too. Even though The Dinosaur rules commented on cryptids after I made the warning, he continued the discussion on the separate thread.
Also, please do not make negative accusations towards an administrator without evidence. I had been researching this topic in the background.
I wouldn't worry about the warning; we have a two strike policy. Two strikes and then you're out.
I don't think you understand the policy. It's two strikes, then you're out. It's safe to say you're sitting right next your ban.
Man...sorry, but you are so stupid for being admin. (Don't angry by me, there is no offence). What Diakuja did to you? Or you simply can't discuss normally? (you can only use your banhammer when you get butthurt). People are so annoying...
I see that Diakujia posted a blog post on the Cryptid Wiki about this situation.
I'm closing this thread now. If you want to continue this topic, please start up another thread. Diakujia and Grootslang, if you want to continue this conversation, please contact me on my message wall.
Close this thread, if you want. I said all things that I wanted to say. Good bye
