Your Daily Dinosaur; CHINESE MUSEUM’S “SHANG DYNASTY CELADON DRAGON” CREATES CONTROVERSY

When we allege what amounts as a “conspiracy” or a cover-up with regard to the suppression of evidence that man and dinosaurs coexisted we are not speaking of “evil” evolutionists trying to hide what they know.
We are talking about human nature and the maintenance of all paradigms—even religious ones for example.

Imagine that you’re an archaeological museum curator somewhere in the world; in this case it is in Changzhou, known as the flooded city. Suppose you acquire some nice Shang Dynasty artifacts; some nice sculptures of various types of animals, pictures of nobles and what have you.

Suppose among those artifacts is one that is going to be controversial. It looks a bit too much like a dinosaur. The paradigm says that it is impossible that this is an actual dinosaur and you’re fine with the paradigm but; what to do?

Put this one in the basement? A number of museums have chosen to do just that. Have it authenticated and once assured that it is authentic—put it out on display—and call it a “dragon”?

Most likely if you call it a dragon you’re not going to have much trouble; just remember that this one “out of time and place artifact” has the potential to destroy the legitimacy of this entire collection and potentially that of your entire museum.
If you do what many curators in this position do, you; don’t purchase this artifact in the first place, or you place it out of eyesight in storage or in the basement. In this way you unwittingly support the paradigm. If these artifacts existed—why don’t we see them, people will ask?

Archaeologists and the rest of us will comfortably assume that they don’t exist. If you show any expert whose reputation could be impacted by one of these paradigm impacting artifacts it will be labeled a ‘fake”—point blank.
It would have to be a fake because man and dinosaur missed each other by 65 million years….Duh.

On Ceramic Collection News, a Chinese site, a student had reported visiting the museum at Changzhou on Wujin Street, called the Long Cheng Chinese Medicine Museum. They enjoyed the exhibits but were brought up short by a particular artifact labeled “Celadon Yuandiao Dragon”, reported to be 3,600 years old from the Shang Dynasty.

The student apparently took this picture of the artifact and reported the finding on a Chinese website questioning whether this could be a real Shang Dynasty artifact since it looks just like a modern version of T-Rex (t-rex only has two fingered hands-ceratosaurus has four fingers).

“A few days ago free to boredom, and friends to play the flooded city, and found a man named Long Cheng museum where, it is really a magical place. Not only do we see a variety of deities, also saw a statue called "Celadon round dragon" antique, indicated above is a past age, that are at least 3600 years from now, I see goods with good, not at all damaged, If this thing is true, it can be the value of money old nose ! And Kandian girl (curator?) insisted that "this is true!"—.......Bad Chinese translation.

Certain people questioned whether Shang Dynasty artisans had the technology to make the artifact and asserted that it had to be a fake. A reporter apparently subsequently visited the museum:

“celadon dragon sculpture in the round on display at the museum entrance on the eastern side Long Cheng, the reporter noted that the shape of their claws, and alligator, crocodile alike, especially its spine has spinous process, abdominal stripes look, and extant alligator is quite similar. And archaeologists have restored a Tyrannosaurus rex with the same similarities.

Long Cheng told reporters, Shang celadon is original and not a fake as the friends thought "

The celadon kiln process was first began in the Tang Dynasty " .She said that this dragon shape for the " Earth Dragon " , is not currently often in artwork on line to see the dragon graphics. The earth is closer to the image of the dragon crocodile.

"She insisted that the exhibits were the real thing. My exhibits have been verified authentic by national identification experts"
