It is widely believed that dinosaurs existed on Earth about 65 million years ago. Their existence was abruptly interrupted when a huge asteroid struck Earth, killing the planet for a while. However, it turns out that there is evidence that some of them might have survived.
Despite this opinion, many researchers strongly believe that there is evidence that in the distant past, people lived surrounded by dinosaurs. This is evidenced by legends and cultural monuments from almost all over the world, presented in folklore. Stories of dragons, basilisks, and wyverns are found in many ancient cultures that developed on Earth thousands of years ago.
We know dragon stories from ancient China and from inaccessible Australian Aboriginal tribes. Many descriptions of mythical creatures unambiguously resemble the anatomical descriptions of certain types of dinosaurs.
However, this is not all. In almost all corners of the world, you can find rock paintings, sculptures and figurines depicting dinosaur-like creatures. In the United States, Dawson County even discovered the Triceratops horn, which dates back about 33.5 thousand years. This find further challenges the thesis that dinosaurs became extinct about 66 million years ago. The horn is currently housed in the Glendive Dinosaurs and Fossils Museum, and paleontologists are seriously wondering if humanity has interacted with dinosaurs.
The sculpture found in the Cambodian temple of Ta Prohm also looks particularly intriguing. The painting carved into the rock resembles the appearance of a stegosaurus for many of us, but the temple itself was built around the 12th century.
It is also believed that a tapestry from the French castle of Blois represents the Dracorex dinosaur along with its young.

A collection of equally interesting discoveries was made near the Nazca Valley in Peru. One of the most controversial is an ancient piece of textile material that dates back to 700 AD. A creature that looks like a dinosaur is embroidered on the material. Is it possible for the Nazca people to have contact with living dinosaurs?
Controversial discoveries also include the Ica Stones, on which various designs have been carved. Among them are images of people interacting with dinosaurs such as brontosaurs, tyrannosaurs, stegosaurs and pterodactyls. According to connoisseurs, the gem in this collection is the scene where people use axes to kill a dinosaur. Hunters seem to demonstrate knowledge of animal anatomy by hitting the nerve center in the dinosaur's spine, which can trigger a quick and sudden victory.
Another surprising discovery concerns the petroglyph of the National Natural Bridges Monument, an American national monument located in Utah. The drawing, carved into the rock, depicts a dinosaur resembling a titanosaur.
But how does this evidence relate to reality? Ica stones are considered by scammers and the official branch of the tourism industry, although researchers still believe in their authenticity. How about the rest of the evidence? Why does the scientific world have so little information about them? One thing is for sure - such discoveries will surprise us more than once.
