“”A reader’s comment

Patrick G., United States, 23 June 2014

Evolutionists have often strongly criticized creationists suggesting this artwork to be a stegosaurus. The problem is that one of the first people to suggest this in print wasn’t a creationist at all.

A photograph of this particular sculpture is found in the book “Angkor Cities and Temples” on page 215. The corresponding description of it is found on page 213:

“Roundels on pilasters on the south side of the west entrance are unusual in design. In particular, that at left shows an animal which bears striking resemblance to a stegosaurus.”

The man who described it in this manner was Claude Jacques, a long standing member of the Ecole Francaise d’ Extreme Orient. He lived in Cambodia for nine years where he taught Khmer history at the Archaeology Department of Phnom Penh. By reading his other comments throughout the book, it is obvious he was an old earth evolutionist. His credentials and time in the region should make him an expert in anyone’s mind. Yet he still saw this artwork as resembling the extinct dinosaur more than any other animal found in this area.

Anyone who wants criticize this carving being interpreted as a stegosaurus should start by criticizing this man first.””

“Time travelers”...

has to be.

People from the future time traveled back to Angkor, drew a picture of a stegosaurus for the stone artist, then went back to the future.

This is far more plausible than the idea that the stegosaurus was a contemporary of humans...
