Almost every culture on earth has an oral tradition of human encounters with large animals, strange that there are now unknown. The generally accepted theory is that dinosaurs were extinct long before humans appeared. Yes, what were these beings, our ancestors have spoken, and what happened to them?
Fossils, who have considerable knowledge about the giant creatures that are no longer in the animal kingdom are available. Though varying in size, shape,The diet, habitat and the type of mobility, all together, like the dinosaurs disappeared long cry. Why is gone, we can only speculate. Evolutionary theory offers a devastating disaster like a meteor, the earth about 65 million years, making it uninhabitable for many species.
The framework promotes a creationist view of the time, much to the recent destruction of dinosaurs "with" old earth creationists who occupies such a thing as a halfway housebetween the teaching of evolution and "new earth" creationists, the earth 10,000 years ago one day. Creationists disagreement caused the disappearance of dinosaurs from the flood of Genesis and / or global climate change and geological, has now been.
The fundamental difference between the theories is whether dinosaurs coexisted with humans.
The Bible speaks of monsters, called Leviathan and Behemoth. Dragons appear in BabylonCreation story, Nebuchadnezzar built the city of Babylon, with representations of dragons on the walls and on its label. The ancient Egyptians used images of dragons, protect their buildings. Both the ancient Greeks and Romans had dragon mythologies as well as China, Japan, India and Mesopotamia.
Europe has a rich tradition of dragon. The Vikings carved dragons on their ships. England has only identified about 200 sites Drachenberg, Celtic kings were called "dragons" Walesdragon as its national symbol. Across town in England to slay dragons are mentioned, and some local festivals have followed the death of the dragon back to living life since ancient times.
The gargoyle gargoyle in French, which began as a dragon "chirp" (water jet) to try to crush a French city. An archbishop has submitted with the animal sign of the cross and the Gargoyle is a sign of protection, which has decorated churches and other buildingsSince the Middle East.
North America is the proportion of dragons. The history of Mexico Quetzalcoatl, the serpent and the part of a beautiful bird, the Algonquin in North America called Piasa worshiped the dragon, was a Chiricahua Apache tribe mentioned.
Interesting character, even if the Western dragon is depicted as a man to eat and evil, the Oriental dragon is so good and intelligent. In the Western world are, hang murderers have taken place, with 40 events in the saints, the bestmet in St. George, Michael, Catherine and Margaret. In the Middle Ages the dragon was a symbol of paganism, not Christianity, even of evil or the devil.
Monster sightings still occupies today. In January 1909, over 100 witnesses in the area of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, said that the devils "flying", said it was a scream and her eyes bright red. In 1950, called for 70 two-legged creatures of the Loveland frog reptile, orLizard Man, has been reported in Ohio, New Jersey, Kentucky and South Carolina. At that moment, Mothman, a creature like a bird, but lacks the head with red eyes, being the shoulders. Mexico and Puerto Rico Chupacabra - Goat Sucker "- with the recent observations in the southern United States and Mongolia, the death worm.
Another interesting observation is that the "monster" to become smaller over time, tend to continue. So what is the truth about all these strangeCreatures? Are real?
I read somewhere that paleontologists have shown that the habitat of dinosaurs due to drastic environmental changes on the asteroid (or any disaster) was invented, and that the asteroid was discovered on final blow. Note that the benefits of a logical step, and perhaps die in a river or a little 'latest, and perhaps the disaster was an accident - not related to the decline of the dinosaurs together. And maybe not all are dead, maybeSome are still alive.
