Humans and Dinosaurs: Traces of a Shared Past?

Humans and Dinosaurs: Traces of a Shared Past?

Dinosaurs were giant creatures that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. So, how did they become extinct? And could humans and dinosaurs have lived in the same period? In this article, we will seek answers to these questions.

Dinosaurs are believed to have lived on the planet approximately 65 million years ago. A large asteroid is thought to have triggered a series of events that wiped out the dinosaurs. Gregory Wilson, associate curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle, said fossils of all dinosaurs except birds have been found, and about 75 percent of all mammals died as a result of the asteroid impact. But the asteroid's impact didn't consume everything. This event was also a devastating extinction for mammals.

Scientists are considering the possibility that some dinosaurs may have survived the impact. Many researchers claim to have found evidence that humans and dinosaurs lived on Earth at the same time. This evidence is thought to be strong enough to support this claim. Written and oral legends tell stories of incredible creatures living on Earth.

Dragon legends are present in almost all cultures that came to the world thousands of years ago. The monsters described in some legends perfectly match the descriptions of dinosaurs. But the only evidence is not these written and oral legends. Fossils and cave paintings found all over the world clearly show that humans and dinosaurs

A Triceratops brow horn discovered in Dawyon County, Montana, dates back to around 33.5 million years ago. This horn challenges the idea that dinosaurs officially became extinct 66 million years ago. This discovery supports the view that humans and dinosaurs coexisted on Earth in the distant past. The Triceratops Horn is currently housed in the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum.

In conclusion, although it is scientifically accepted that an asteroid impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, some evidence suggests otherwise. Fossils, cave paintings, legends, and carvings found in different parts of the world indicate that humans and dinosaurs may have lived together. Although the reliability of this evidence is debatable, the mysterious past of dinosaurs

Sonuç olarak, dinozorların neslinin tükenmesine neden olan bir asteroid çarpması olduğu bilimsel olarak kabul edilse de, bazı kanıtlar bunun aksini iddia ediyor. Dünyanın farklı yerlerinde bulunan fosiller, mağara resimleri, efsaneler ve oymalar, insanlarla dinozorların birlikte yaşamış olabileceğini gösteriyor. Bu kanıtların ne kadar güvenilir olduğu tartışmalı olsa da, dinozorların gizemli geçmişi hala merak uyandırıyor.

Asteroid Impact and Dinosaur Extinction

The most common theory regarding the extinction of the dinosaurs is the impact of a large asteroid, known as the Chicxulub crater, on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. This event caused massive wildfires, tsunamis, and a prolonged winter worldwide, disrupting ecosystems and wiping out most of the dinosaurs.

Dinosaur Fossils and Human Footprints

According to some claims, fossil tracks found in the Paluxy River bed show human and dinosaur footprints together. Such discoveries have reignited debates that humans and dinosaurs may have lived in the same period. However, most of these findings are considered controversial and speculative by scientists.

Cave Paintings and Ancient Art

Cave paintings and ancient carvings found in various parts of the world depict large creatures that lived in the past. Aboriginal cave paintings found in Australia and some ancient artifacts in Africa contain figures resembling dinosaurs. Such findings support theories that ancient people may have had knowledge of these giant creatures.

Modern Science and Dinosaurs

Modern science suggests that the descendants of dinosaurs are today's birds. Fossils such as Archaeopteryx provide important evidence showing the link between birds and dinosaurs. This theory suggests that dinosaurs did not completely disappear, but some species evolved into today's birds.
