So much information exists out there from so many different sources on whether or not dinosaurs lived among men, the nature and existence of ghosts, what demons really are, where aliens come from if they actually come from anywhere, and who made all those shiny UFO’s flying above my cows at night that searching the Internet for the truth is quite literally like the parable of separating the wheat from the tares. It is pretty much a nightmare to sift through and extract the one needle from all those haystacks. But I sifted for a bit anyway. 

 

²⁰ Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.” ²¹ So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”

²³ And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day.

²⁴ Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened. ²⁵ God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.

²⁶ Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”

²⁷ So God created human beings in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

²⁸ Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

²⁹ Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food.³⁰ And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened.

¹³ That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and their wives. ¹⁴With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of animal—domestic and wild, large and small—along with birds of every kind. ¹⁵ Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes. ¹⁶ A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD closed the door behind them.

¹“Can you catch Leviathan with a hook
or put a noose around its jaw?
² Can you tie it with a rope through the nose
or pierce its jaw with a spike?
³ Will it beg you for mercy
or implore you for pity?
⁴ Will it agree to work for you,
to be your slave for life?
⁵ Can you make it a pet like a bird,
or give it to your little girls to play with?
⁶ Will merchants try to buy it
to sell it in their shops?
⁷ Will its hide be hurt by spears
or its head by a harpoon?
⁸ If you lay a hand on it,
you will certainly remember the battle that follows.
You won’t try that again!
⁹No, it is useless to try to capture it.
The hunter who attempts it will be knocked down.
¹⁰ And since no one dares to disturb it,
who then can stand up to me?
¹¹ Who has given me anything that I need to pay back?
Everything under heaven is mine.

¹² “I want to emphasize Leviathan’s limbs
and its enormous strength and graceful form.
¹³ Who can strip off its hide,
and who can penetrate its double layer of armor?
¹⁴ Who could pry open its jaws?
For its teeth are terrible!
¹⁵ Its scales are like rows of shields
tightly sealed together.
¹⁶ They are so close together
that no air can get between them.
¹⁷ Each scale sticks tight to the next.
They interlock and cannot be penetrated.

¹⁸ “When it sneezes, it flashes light!
Its eyes are like the red of dawn.
¹⁹ Lightning leaps from its mouth;
flames of fire flash out.
²⁰ Smoke streams from its nostrils
like steam from a pot heated over burning rushes.
²¹ Its breath would kindle coals,
for flames shoot from its mouth.

²² “The tremendous strength in Leviathan’s neck
strikes terror wherever it goes.
²³ Its flesh is hard and firm
and cannot be penetrated.
²⁴ Its heart is hard as rock,
hard as a millstone.
²⁵ When it rises, the mighty are afraid,
gripped by terror.
²⁶ No sword can stop it,
no spear, dart, or javelin.
²⁷ Iron is nothing but straw to that creature,
and bronze is like rotten wood.
²⁸ Arrows cannot make it flee.
Stones shot from a sling are like bits of grass.
²⁹ Clubs are like a blade of grass,
and it laughs at the swish of javelins.
³⁰ Its belly is covered with scales as sharp as glass.
It plows up the ground as it drags through the mud.

³¹ “Leviathan makes the water boil with its commotion.
It stirs the depths like a pot of ointment.
³² The water glistens in its wake,
making the sea look white.
³³ Nothing on earth is its equal,
no other creature so fearless.
³⁴ Of all the creatures, it is the proudest.
It is the king of beasts.”

– Job 41

¹² You, O God, are my king from ages past,
bringing salvation to the earth.
¹³ You split the sea by your strength
and smashed the heads of the sea monsters.
¹⁴ You crushed the heads of Leviathan
and let the desert animals eat him.

– Psalm 74:12-14

²⁴ O LORD, what a variety of things you have made!
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.
²⁵ Here is the ocean, vast and wide,
teeming with life of every kind,
both large and small.
²⁶ See the ships sailing along,
and Leviathan,which you made to play in the sea.

– Psalm 104:24-26

¹ In that day the LORD will take his terrible, swift sword and punish Leviathan, the swiftly moving serpent, the coiling, writhing serpent. He will kill the dragon of the sea.

– Isaiah 27:1

¹⁵ “Take a look at Behemoth,
which I made, just as I made you.
It eats grass like an ox.
¹⁶ See its powerful loins
and the muscles of its belly.
¹⁷ Its tail is as strong as a cedar.
The sinews of its thighs are knit tightly together.
¹⁸ Its bones are tubes of bronze.
Its limbs are bars of iron.
¹⁹ It is a prime example of God’s handiwork,
and only its Creator can threaten it.
²⁰ The mountains offer it their best food,
where all the wild animals play.
²¹ It lies under the lotus plants,
hidden by the reeds in the marsh.
²² The lotus plants give it shade
among the willows beside the stream.
²³ It is not disturbed by the raging river,
not concerned when the swelling Jordan rushes around it.
²⁴ No one can catch it off guard
or put a ring in its nose and lead it away.

– Job 40:15-24

Here’s a hippo. Take a peek. Now tell me, what are those people looking at? Does that tail look as strong as a noodle, let alone cedar? No, it doesn’t.

Not to take away from the hippo – I loved their board game as a kid and I’m often as hungry as they are – but this isn’t “behemoth.” Plus, where are the “muscles of its belly”  as recorded in Job? Not calling anyone fat here, but come on! Nobody’s scrubbing laundry on that thing. Neither are these bones “tubes of bronze” nor do these limbs look like “bars of iron.”

Here is a photo containing some of the stones:

It’s pretty obvious through these stones that ancient Peruvians knew all about dinosaurs – something that evolutionists will tell you is an impossibility considering the two were millions of years apart in existence. Hm, from the look of these carvings, looks like humans and dinosaurs were a little closer than that…

Mold of actual human footprint with dinosaur footprint overlapping it from the Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, TX.

From the Ishtar Gate as commissioned by King Nebuchadnezzar around 600 BC – rediscovered in 1887 AD.  The king had a Babylonian artist shape reliefs for the gate of known animals at the time like lions and bulls…and dragons

Ancient Sumatran (Indonesian) art depicting men with dinosaurs/dragons

The ancient Greek “Hesione Vase” created around 550 BC which depicts the Greek Hero Heracles rescuing Hesione from the “Monster of Troy.”  Could the monster be a dinosaur? How did they know about those things way back then?Hm…

A portion of the “Nile Mosaic of Palestrina” by Demetrius the Topographer of Alexandria depicting hunters and a dinosaur. The letters at the top in Greek translate into “KROKODILOPARDALIS” which means “crocodile-leopard.” A creature that they must have been used to dealing with since this mosaic was meant to depict everyday life on the Nile River in 2nd Century.

Another close-up of the ”Nile Mosaic of Palestrina” depicting a large snake or serpent of some kind. Again, something the 2nd Century people must have thought commonplace.

Another close-up of the ”Nile Mosaic of Palestrina” depicting a large lizard (about as big as that lion above it.)

A ceramic artifact from Moche Indian tribe who inhabited Northern Peru from 100 AD- 800 AD.  Looks like a dinosaur/dragon/monster to me.

A Sioux Indian cave painting of Unktehi, a fearsome ox-like creature with huge horns. Notice the giant snakes compared to the canoe.

I tell you one thing. This purple brontosaurus looks a lot more like what Job was talking about in the Old Testament than a hippo. In some circles, there is talk that the ancient Egyptians used dinosaurs to help build the pyramids. Maybe…archaeologists did find this thing:

The Narmer Palette, also known as the Great Hierakonopolis Palette or the Palette of Narmer, is a significant Egyptian archeological find, dating from about the 31st century BC, containing some of the earliest hieroglyphic inscriptions ever found. It is thought by some to depict the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the king Narmer…

…Below the procession, two men are holding ropes tied to the outstretched, intertwining necks of two serpopards confronting each other, mythical felines with bodies of leopards (or more likely lionesses, given that there are no spots indicated) and snakelike necks. The circle formed by their exaggeratedly curving necks is the central part of the Palette, which is the area where the cosmetics would be ground. These animals have been considered an additional symbol for the unification of Egypt, but it is a unique image in Egyptian art and there is nothing to suggest that either animal represents an identifiable part of Egypt, although each had lioness war goddesses as protectors and the intertwined necks may represent the unification of the state. Similar images of such mythical animals are known from other contemporaneous cultures, and there are other examples of late-predynastic objects (including other palettes and knife handles) which borrow similar elements from Mesopotamian iconography.

It was your ancestor and this guy…

And since this is an edited and updated version of my original article, I found a sweet new picture that was too awesome to keep from you readers. Take a gander and tell me where I can get this…
