Dinosaurs in Art


If dinosaurs did exist at the same times humans existed, it is extremely probable that some pictoral record of them would have been kept by the witnesses on cave walls or pottery. In fact, there is such artwork, and many pictures have been documented. These are some of the best examples I have found:

PictureDescription
Found in Utah. Attributed to the Anasazi Indians, who inhabited the area from AD 400 to AD 1300. [1]
[1][2]
[1]
Indians in Peru most likely made these burial stones 2000 years ago. [1]
A rock carving from Bernifal Cave in France. Depicts a dinosaur fighting some kind of animal. [1]
Found in Turkey, dated to approximately 530 BC. Depicts what might be a Mosasaurus swimming with known sea creatures [2]
The picture on the left is from a Mesopotamian cylinder seal from Egypt in about 3300 BC. The picture on the right is a modern day conception of an Apatasaurus. Strikingly similar. [2]
The picture on the left was found in Havasupai Canyon in Arizona. (The concentrated white outline has been added, the original carving is visible within the darker white outlines.) The picture on the right is the Edmontosaurus. [2]
The left picture is a Roman mosaic dated at 200 AD. The picture on the right is a Tanystropheus. Another very strong similarity. [2]
This Roman sword has what is without a doubt a dinosaur carved on the blade. [2]
These clay figures were found in Acambaro, Mexico and have been dated between 800 and 200 BC. Attempts to disprove the authenticity of these figures have failed. [2]
This artwork is by an ancient group of people called the Sumatrans. The creatures on this artwork look like Hadrosaurs. [2]
This is a French wood carving dating back to the 16th century. It looks very similar to the pterosaur. [2]
This is a picture of a dragon that ravaged Rome in the 17th century. This is compared to the Scaphognathus. [2]
This is a different type of evidence than all my other pictures. This is a picture of a fossilized hammer that was dated to be 140 million years old. There are three choices for how this can be: either dinosaurs made tools, humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time 140 million years ago (which shoots evolution down), or modern dating methods are highly innacurate. In fact, the second two choices are probably true. [3]
