I sure hope too many people won't melt at the sight of this article --- like too many did earlier this week.
New word. Cool

So is the author suggesting that dinosaurs were around at the time of da Vinci?
Are you trying to imply he had seen actual dinosaurs?
Why is there a ‘dragon’ in almost every culture’s history, even Maya and Aztec?...................
I don’t see a dinosaur. I see a dragon, which is a mythical creature with a long history in Eurasian folklore. So, the better question is, why do dragons look so much like dinosaurs.
“How did he draw a dinosaur so accurately?”
Saw it on a piece of Chinese pottery?
Remote viewing or Astral Projection.
“Face on Mars” people at the wheel again.
His drawing was imaginative. He did not intend it to be a dinosaur or specific other species. He called it a dragon. That’s not a dinosaur. Today, with knowledge of what dinosaurs looked like, the drawing fits in with our image of a dinosaur, and we call it a dinosaur.
Some loudly proclaim that Da Vinci had knowledge of what a dinosaur looked like. That conclusion is not reasonable.
This is really dumb.
All those pictures of Jesus riding a dinosaur are real!

This fella, comes from the temples at Angkor. 12th and 13th century.
He was extremely smart. That’s how. Have you ever looked through his notebook? It is public domain and free online. It’s around 7000 pages of his notes and observations.
There is meticulous detain you cannot begin to imagine. There are several pages about how to paint smoke. Did you know it isn’t black, it’s blue. And are you speaking of smoke with the sun behind it, or behind you? Or off to the side maybe?
He did the same thing with anatomy. And I mean the anatomy of everything that walked, crawled or flew. He was truly one of the most intelligent people who ever lived. He would be the one person who could draw a dinosaur from millions of years before from looking at a few bones.
It looks like Asian drawings of dragons. Could be as simple as Leonardo copied Asian drawings.
