  • This is just an empty posturing championship and the pope is the grand winner. It's so tiring that he so much praise for saying the least controversial things that everyone agrees with.

  • Fossils and mythology

    Jump

  • It has become common to claim various mythological creatures have been inspired by fossils, often as an established and certain fact.

    There are two issues with these theories.

    Firstly, whenever you research these claims, you ALWAYS run into the glaring fact that no single massive fossil has ever truly been confirmed to have been identified by any ancient culture. Texts discussing this idea seriously, always admit this, yet still presents fossils being an inspiration as an established fact.

    Secondly, these claims almost always strain under closer examination. Dragons, are often seen as inspired by dinosaur fossils. However, their appearance, especially in early sources, differ significantly from dinosaurs. In near eastern ancient and antique sources they often look like giant snakes. In European medieval illustrations, they also take on mammalian traits. Chinese dragons have the face of a camel and the body of a snake. The depicting of dragons as dinosaur like is a very recent phenomena.

    Another issue I personally find with this theory is that it's not inconceivable that ancient peoples constantly stumbled upon massive fossils but simply didn't identify them.

    Look at this video, at around 4:11. Basically, some archeology youtubers are digging in a hill in Africa that is literally bursting with lystrosaurus (Permian mammal relative) fossils, and they even find two such skulls in a matter of hours. But even when you have this skull right in front of you, you still need an expert to identify that it even is a skull and what parts of the skull you are looking at and when.

    This article discuss this idea and have some nice pictures.

    Links to videos and articles discussing similar, specific claims:

    Lastly, there are a few accounts that I find somewhat plausible. Like mammoth skeletons being found and seen as ancient monsters. Interestingly, we don't have widespread myths about giant hairy elephants, so if mammoths were found, they didn't inspire much mythology. And it does seem native Indians found trilobite fossils and referred to them as water bugs and wore them as gems for good luck
