Your post is what is silly.

The absurd assumption that Dinos died off is a recent error. No credible historian would have seen anything worth writing about at the time; it was just natural. Your thinking is convoluted and constipated.

Marco Polo wrote of the “dragons” he encountered, as did Alexander. Are you going to write them off?

The ancients were pretty keen naturalists. They described flora and fauna from all over the world. You'd think T-Rexs and Brontosauri would be something they'd mention. Furthermore, the Romans put every exotic animal they could into the Coliseum for the amusement of the masses. Any Emperor would have paid a king's ransom for a triceratops, yet there is no evidence of any such animal in descriptions of gladiatorial games. Why not?

Which were most likely nothing more than large crocodiles or alligators.

Absolutely amazing.

Can you find a contemporaneous artistic depiction of a dinosaur? e.g., a Roman or Greek vase with a dinosaur on it.

You’re welcome to believe what you want, but asserting that dinosaurs were commonplace two thousand years ago makes you sound like a lunatic.

My cousin says he played racquetball with Elvis and Michael Jackson yesterday. Are you going to write him off?
