There have been a couple of recent news items which struck me as being fairly unusual coming from “mainstream”, suggesting the possible or even probable interaction of man and large “ice-age” mega fauna.

While its not as if they announced that man and dinosaurs have interacted in the past, it is still uncomfortably close to that or in that direction for the mainstream.

Science does not want to have people reviewing ancient art and seeing things there that do not fit the current scientific paradigm. Not too long ago, some scientists argued that Neanderthal couldn’t speak, and whether or not those were flowers at burial sites (did they bury each other?) etc. Was that a musical instrument or just a reed with accidental hole placement?

The Clovis first paradigm of colonization in the Americas around 13,000 years ago on mythical evolution timeline years has shortened or wrecked the careers of those who dared to offer competing theories or timelines (Virginia Steen-McIntyre for example).

Or how about that poor scientist who claimed ro have found red blood cells in “millions of years old dinosaur fossils”? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/…/dinosaur-shocker-115306469/

That discovery hurt her career as what evolutionists were afraid would happen-creationists “hijacked” her discovery.
So, this is what I have been doing, examining ancient art to discover whether ancient peoples didn’t just write about and describe dragons/dinosaurs, but also depicted them in their art and artifacts.

Spoiler Alert. They did.

The Amazon jungle art gallery is reportedly 8 miles long and the photographs that initially came out of that discovery weren’t controversial but just recently more were released and featured in one scientific paper suggesting that man and ice-age animals co-existed.

That may be heading dangerously down that “creationist line” and some scientists aren’t having it. This could be a slippery slope for them.

It took them a while to release these new photos, I wonder what they might be holding back?

CHINA

In China scientists discovered a now extinct, giant type of crocodile –several fossils which had had their heads lopped off-suggesting human involvement in their deaths.

The first few photographs here relate to the two articles mentioned but I have also included a few photos from my own prior research as well. Maybe mainstream science is finally catching up to us “creationists” or more accurately; Christians.

I could post a couple of hundred of these photos but I do want to get to the articles in question. Thank you for your time and consideration. S8intcom

"Giant Sloths, Ancient Elephants, and Ungulates: Prehistoric Rock Art in the Amazon May Depict Extinct Ice Age Animals, a New Study Says

Archaeologists are waiting for definitive dating of the paintings.
Sarah Cascone, March 9, 2022

A masterpiece of prehistoric rock art from the Amazon, hailed by some as “the Sistine Chapel of the ancients,” may depict extinct Ice Age mammals, offering a fascinating snapshot of doomed species and their brief coexistence with humankind.

The eight-mile Cerro Azul rock art mural at Serranía de la Lindosa in Colombia’s Guaviare region, on the banks of the Guayabero River, has been the subject of recent expeditions led by José Iriarte, an archaeologist at the University of Exeter.

Now, the ocher paintings have become the subject of debate, as experts attempt to definitively date them and identify the animals.

It’s possible that the stunning artworks are up to 12,000 years old, and show Ice Age megafauna, as argued by a study published this week in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society .

(Archaeologists first began studying the paintings in 2016, after a peace treaty brought stability to the region after years of civil war, and published their initial findings in late 2020).

“[The paintings] have the whole diversity of Amazonia. Turtles and fishes to jaguars, monkeys, and porcupines,” Iriarte, the study’s lead author, told CNN. He believes that as prehistoric humans migrated down into South America, “they encountered these large-bodied mammals and they likely painted them.

And while we don’t have the last word, these paintings are very naturalistic and we’re able to see morphological features of the animals.”

Part of an eight-mile rock art mural at Serranía de la Lindosa in Colombiam this image may depict an extinct giant ground sloth and its offspring. Drawings by Mike Keesey offer artistic reconstructions patterned after a close living relative, the three-toed sloth, center, and an extinct bear species, Arctotherium"

"Ancient Chinese may have hunted 'unique' giant Bronze Age crocodile species to extinction
Fri, March 11, 2022, 1:30 AM·4 min read
Could humans have driven a Bronze Age crocodilian species in southern China into extinction just a few hundred years ago?

That is the question being raised as a team of scientists studies the partially fossilised remains of two giant crocodiles unearthed in China's southern Guangdong province decades ago.

The remains are from a hitherto unknown species of gharial, or fish-eating crocodile, and they also bear the marks of ritual beheading, according to the scientists. Discovered some half a century ago in the Pearl River Delta, the fossils are now preserved in museums in Guangdong.

The animals are believed to have been 6 metres from snout to tail and the top predator in their environment.

Analysis of bone remains shows the two reptiles suffered "vicious attacks" and had been "ritualistically beheaded", possibly with an axelike weapon, the team said in an article published on Wednesday.

"Chop marks [and] historical accounts suggest that the human-crocodilian conflict had lasted in southern China from the Bronze Age until a few hundred years ago when this unique species finally became extinct," the researchers wrote in their article in the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B."
