Dinosaurs in ancient Cambodian temple Amazing evidence that dinosaurs and humans coexisted
the article also has a very nice close up of Indra on the three headed iravatam. the panel discussed - esp the encircling coils vaguely reminds of the vijaya or rayala gopuram in mamallai ( unfinished gopuram ...during the vijayanagar times)
its still found in neighbouring countries. there is a statue of a giraffee in kajuraho. though there is evidence thaat the animal never lived in inda after the ice ages.
:) Similarly Virudagirieswarar temple in Virudachalam has a carving of a T-Rex? I have not seen it but read it either from Sakthi-Vikatan or from another temple related magazine. Can someone confirm?
hello; Ive read about this sculpture in Combodia too. A bit too far fetched. Dinosaurs and man can never ever have co-existed atleast not man in the form he is in now i.e. walking on two legs and civilized. No way!! This probably a case of the sculptor being inspired by fossils. Remember that the basement for building this temple had to really deep hence they must have found a really good fossil during digging. There were taxidermists (people who create the shape of the living thing from its skeleton) during that age and they would have given shape to this fossil skeleton. This is my theory.
Mr.Venketesh's giraffe example is really good. Probably the sculptor was influenced by the drawings of either the cavemen or travelers who always know a lot.

Hi Rahul want to hear about my girafee theory.
lots of african slaves were brought into india for quite some time. these men even married locally and formed tribes in gujarat and other places. one must have apperenticd to a sculptor.
paaththingala, khajurahovil kooda girafee sculpture thaan catches my eye.
vj, the site you are quoting is a creationist site supporting genesis as the basis of creation. This is very similar to the dinosaur tracks found with man's tracks in Paluxy.
Not that everything they the evolutionists say is true. But the kind of evidence presented in the creationist sites are generally skewed or slant.
On the other hand, if dinosaurs existed only 800 years before, why our Kadaram Kondan didn't mention it. Also the great kingdoms of Angkor has only one mention of a stegosaurus? No written evidence or others?
My guess is this is more like a Chinese Dragon or the common green Iguana found in the tropical low lands of SE Asia..
Dear Vijay and Rahul I dont see any reason why the images should nt be original there is no reason that they found fossils and added it to the images ir was it the imagination o the scupturere like thE Yazhis and dragons...
Rahul..Whether you like it or nor RJCs Ganga campaign has historic proofs as opposed to Karikalans Imayavarambans and Nedunchezhians conquests...
