We just got back from our third trip there. Although, there is still a lot of construction going on and they have a lot of work to do, it is still a great place to visit and one of the few places to learn about about the true history of mankind.

For those of you who have not visited, it is just north of Lexington - well worth the trip.

Were dinosaurs there?

Alexander the Great encountered a dinosaur:

In 330 BC, after Alexander the Great invaded India, he brought back reports of seeing a great hissing dragon living in a cave, which people were worshiping as gods. One of Alexander the Great's lieutenants named Onesicritus stated that the Indian king Abisarus kept serpents that were 120 and 210 feet long. Subsequent Greek rulers are said to have brought dragons back alive from Ethiopia.

When Alexander threw some parts of India into a commotion and took possession of others he encountered among many other animals a Serpent which lived in a cavern and was regarded as sacred by the Indians who paid it great and superstitious reverence. Accordingly Indians went to all lengths imploring Alexander to permit nobody to attack the Serpent; and he assented to their wish. Now as the army passed by the cavern and caused a noise, the Serpent was aware of it. (It has, you know, the sharpest hearing and the keenest sight of all animals.) And it hissed and snorted so violently that all were terrified and confounded. It was reported to measure 70 cubits although it was not visible in all its length, for it only put its head out. At any rate its eyes are said to have been the size of a large, round Macedonian shield. Aelianus, Claudius, On Animals, Book #XV, Chapter 19-23, c.210-230.

Observed and drawn while alive?

St George also killed a dinosaur.

There is lots of historical evidence that man and dinosaurs lived at the same time.

The NYC version ,long closed, on 66St and First Ave is where Mary Steenburgen worked before she became a movie star. Faux woodbeam constructions and stuffed animals made for a quick and affordable buildout.

A bit more afield she lived in a Yorkville apartment and Steve Martin was her nextdoor neighbor he also was a frequent visitor to Noah's Ark.

False. This is Fake News and a liberal conspiracy. Dinosaurs are still alive today. There's even a documentary about it by Steven Spealberg.

Why would dinosaur fossils need to be "planted" then?

If it doesn't fit the evolution narrative, scientist gets ostracized:

No he's not. He watches you while you touch yourself. Oh wait, or is that santa?

OK.

God smoteored the dinosaurs!

Isn't there a similar attraction in Ohio, with displays of people riding dinosaurs and what not? It would make sense. The people I've known from Ohio have been by far among the weirdest/dumbest folks I have ever met...

Ohio also had the big statue known as 'Touchdown Jesus'.

Until it was struck by lightning and burned. Jesus must have pissed off God.

It's funny how people make light of things like this, yet can never come up with any evidence or coherent argument to the contrary.
