Dragons and Dinosaurs
by Kassia Halteman
Read this with an open mind and with the mind set that scientists make mistakes too, the majority may rule but the majority is not always right. You could be wrong about what you believe. Don't believe what someone says just because they are smart or convincing. Study into everything for yourself from all perspectives before believing in anything. Don't believe it just because it sounds good or because you want to believe it. Only believe what is true.
You may find what you are about to read interesting and it might blow your mind. I don't tell lies or exaggerate facts to make people believe the way I do. You can believe it or disagree, that is your choice and it makes no difference to me. There are many people who believe this. I am not alone. But I have put a lot of study into this and I believe what you are about to read is true. I am thankful that other people spent the time to research and share these facts with others and now I want to share them with anyone who is willing to read this. Please, don't let your disagreements keep you from reading what I have to say.
Dragons are Real Creatures!
Dragons are not imaginary creatures! Yes, people do create imaginary dragons and artists can do what ever they want with their own art. I also love to create fictional creatures and especially dragons! This however creates the impression that dragons are only in the imagination. In today's age no one would have believed that dinosaurs were real creatures if their bones hadn't been discovered. Below explains why I believe that dragons are real physical creatures.
Dragons are Dinosaurs!
Did you know that dinosaurs are in fact dragons? Before dinosaur bones were discovered and the big reptiles were given the name dinosaur, people called them dragons because the name dinosaur had not been invented yet. Dinosaur means "Thunder Lizard". It is obvious that dinosaurs look like giant terrifying lizards. They come in many shapes and sizes. Some are more frightening than others. Here is an interesting fact. Did you know some scientists studied into it and discovered that it is chemically and physically possible that some dinosaurs could have been able to breath fire out of their mouth. We already know that some dinosaurs were able to fly. So if a dinosaur could both fly and breath fire, what does that sound like? A dragon maybe?
Dinosaurs Lived With Humans!
Scientists would have you believe that dinosaurs became extinct millions of years ago, long before people evolved. this is taught in almost every school in America. I and many other people believe that dinosaurs lived with humans. If you disagree, think about those dragons in the legends, stories and old books. Throughout history, in almost every culture and country there are stories told of dragons and large serpents. Where do these tales come from if people didn't actually live with dragons/dinosaurs? I know people have creative minds but I think it's highly unlikely that all the people groups divided by the oceans some how came up with stories and drawings of the same "imaginary" creatures.
I think those creatures actually lived with the people. How else would all the nations in the world know about the same "imagined" dragons before people even learned how to cross the sea and contact other nations? The Bible, which is the oldest preserved history book in the world, also talks about these large creatures that God created along with all the other animals and humans.
Yes, there is proof that man lived with the dinosaurs/dragons. There are millions of ancient carvings, pictures and stories told of them. The word dragon is printed in the Bible 34 times. Also fossilized dinosaur foot prints have been found with fossilized human foot prints right beside them. There are even human fossil footprints inside of dinosaur prints. Museums refuse to display these fossils. Just think what that would mean to known science if the public learned that the long ago extinct dinosaurs actually live at the same time as humans. Scientists would have to admit that they are wrong and that the science that they are teaching the world is in fact non fact.
The old city walls of Babylon had hundreds of pictures of dragons/dinosaurs on them. The Romans also had carved pictures of dragons. Viking ships had sculptured dragon heads on the fronts of their ships to guide them. There are pictures of dinosaurs carved on the walls of the Grand Canyon by the Indians. In caves, in African, there are paintings of long-necked dinosaurs chasing natives. In 1962, 50,000 stones with dinosaur carvings on them were discovered In Peru. They are called Inca Stones. Most of them have pictures of people fighting dinosaurs on them.
Dinosaur bones with some skin still on it were found frozen in ice. I don't think skin could remain after millions of years. I have tons more information on the age of dinosaurs and the earth, proof of a world wide flood, and proof to disprove evolution. I will be writing a report on all this soon.
What Happened to the Dinosaurs?
After the biblical flood, dinosaurs were faced with a hostile world. The water canopy in the sky was gone and the climate changed. The air became harder to breath especially for dinosaurs because they need to intake a lot of oxygen to keep their blood flowing through their massive bodies. Dinosaurs and many other large beasts began to die off because of the lack of food and loss of oxygen. Also man began to hunt them for food and because they were a menace to society. Would you want a huge hungry T-Rex loose in your neighborhood? There are many stories told of men slaying dragons. You were called a champion if you slew a dragon. No wonder they died out. Keep reading to hear some of these stories.
Dinosaurs slowly began to die off until few were left. 1,000 years ago dinosaurs were rare but people still believed in them. 400 years ago dictionary definitions of “dragons” stated that, “they are extremely rare though still living today.” Through the next hundreds of years dinosaurs became almost completely gone. People stopped believing in dragons/dinosaurs because there were hundreds of people who never saw one. Dinosaurs, known as dragons in those days, became a fairy tale creature.
100 years ago evolution and prehistoric animals were introduced when fossils and dinosaur bones were discovered deep down in the earth. Those bones and fossils are the remaining results of the dinosaurs that were buried by the forgotten flood. People thought they were seeing dinosaurs for the first time, when all we really did was discover the amazing creatures that our ancestors once lived with.
Dinosaurs Still Alive?
Are all dinosaurs really extinct as most people assume? Might some still roam the earth today? Yes, I am saying that dinosaurs may still be alive or have at least lived until the last few years. I am not talking about Komodo dragons or crocodiles.
In 1572 a scientist documented that an Italian peasant killed a dragon that was after his cows. The town of Nerloc, France is named after a man who slew a dragon that was "bigger than an ox and had long sharp horns on its head". Sounds like a Triceratops to me.
In the 1800's explorers in Congo saw dinosaurs. In 1848, during the great age of sailing ships, there were thousands of sightings of sea monsters in Norway and Greenland. In 1896, a 200 foot across and 5 ton sea monster was reported in Florida. In Alberta, Canada the remains of a 150 foot dinosaur were found weighing about 100 tons. That is the weight of 14 buses.
In 1907, in the Amazon jungle a meticulous recorder of facts saw a diplodocus. In 1910 and 1948 dinosaurs broke the news. There have been 20,000 reported sightings of dinosaurs in this century, including, Nessy, Champ, mokele-mbembe, ect. Dinosaurs do not grow to be as large these days as they did in the past because of the change in the climate.
In 1933 there were 52 sightings of the Loch Ness monster. Today there have been over 11,000 sightings of it. Some of those, by famous people. In 1959 a veteran missionary of Congo claimed that two men in his church killed a mokele mbembe and ate it.
In 1962, in Pensacola Harbor, 4 boys were eaten by a sea monster/sea dinosaur while scuba diving; The fifth survived but turned to drink and drugs to erase the horrible memory of it. To save the harbors reputation as a nice swimming area, News reporters claimed that the boys drowned.
The boy tells his story; He said, "We were in an Air Force rescue raft bound for a sunken ship a few miles off the coast. Midway out, we were caught in a storm and dragged out to sea. When the storm cleared, we were in a dense fog... We began to hear strange noises, rather like the splashing of a porpoise... also a sickening odor like that of dead fish. The noise got closer to the raft and it was then we heard a loud hissing sound. Out in the fog we saw what looked like a long pole, about ten feet high, sticking straight up out of the water. On top was a bulb like structure." Like a light bulb? Round with a beak on it. "It bent in the middle and went under. It appeared several more times getting closer to the raft." "The silence was broken once again by something out of the fog. I can only describe it as a high-pitched whine. We panicked. All five of us put on our fins and went into the water….'Keep together and try for the ship,' I yelled. After we were in the water we became split up in the fog. From behind I could hear the screams of my comrades one by one. I got a closer look at the thing just before my last friend went under. The neck was about twelve feet long, brownish- green and smooth looking. The head was like that of a sea-turtle except more elongated, with teeth.…There appeared to be what looked like a dorsal fin when it dove under for the last time. Also, as best I am able to recall, the eyes were green with oval pupils." His four friends were all eaten by the sea creature. He heard them screaming as they went under. He said, "I finally made it to the ship, the top of which protruded from the water, and stayed there for most of the night, early that morning I swam to shore and was found by the rescue unit." The only survivor.
Dinosaurs are still alive and still dying. In 1977 a Japanese fishing boat brought up a dead plesiosaur. In 1994, on Mystery lake, in Russia, a 39 foot long carcass washed on shore. In Arizona two cowboys shot a pterodactyl. Some Sioux Indians found a thunderbird/pterodactyl with a 20 foot wing span hit by lightning. The list goes on. These stories are not talked about often and eventually forgotten because the millions of people who have never seen a dinosaur refuse to believe them because they do not fit in with the belief that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago.
Here is an interesting fact. Gargoyles were given that name because a man once slew a dragon, cut off its head and stuck the head on the corner of his house top. He named it the Gargoyle.
Dinosaur Sightings Today
The question isn’t “how did the dinosaurs go extinct?” but “did the dinosaurs go extinct?” I understand that all of this may be sounding more and more crazy to you if you were taught evolution and never heard any of this before. Today, there are still tales told of creatures living in the swamps and rivers of central Africa. The animal is called, "Jago-Nini" which means "giant diver." Although the actual creature had never been seen by western eyes, explorers were told that it, "Comes out of the water and devours people." Footprints were examined by western scientists which were, "about the size of a good sized frying pan in circumference and it had three claws instead of five."
Many tribes are familiar with this elusive animal so the creature goes by a variety of different names including "dingonek," "Ol-umaina," and "chipekwe." Despite great efforts explorers never saw direct evidence of the creatures existence for themselves, only hearing the tales from the natives
An exception was when, in 1932, British crypto zoologist Ivan Sanderson was traveling in Africa and came across large hippo-like tracks in a region with no hippos. He was told by the natives that they were made by a creature named the "mgbulu-eM'bembe". Later Sanderson saw something in the water that seemed too large to be a hippo, but disappeared before he could investigate further.
The best known reports about this kind of creature came out of the Congo after the turn of the century. A German explorer, heard stories about an animal that was "brownish gray with a smooth skin, its size approximately that of an elephant." The creature had a long flexible neck and ate a vegetarian diet. The natives called it mok'ele-mbembe.
As more and more of Africa was charted and explored the dinosaur tales faded away. However, in 1980, Dr. Roy Mackal, a biologist at the University of Chicago and James Powell, a herpetologist, decided to go and take another look at the source of the mok'ele-mbembe tales. As with earlier explorers they failed to see the creature themselves. However, they did interview several people who had, and also heard about a creature with a long neck and tail that was killed by natives along Lake Tele in 1959.
According to the story, anyone who ate of the creatures meat, died. Witnesses said mok'ele-mbembe was about thirty feet long. Of that, ten was head and neck, the rest was body and tail. Mackal and Powell suspected that the creature was a small relative of the Apatosaurus. A second expedition the next year added nothing but some strange footprints.
Shortly after Mackal's second expedition a group from California, reported seeing and photographing a large creature in the Lake Tele area. While the descriptions matched those heard since von Stein, the photos turned out to be inconclusive.
James Powell, an American explorer visited the area and showed pictures of various known animals to the inhabitants which they correctly identified. When they were shown a picture of a sauropod dinosaur they identified it as Mokele M'Bembe the large animal living in the nearby swamps and river systems.
Other creatures fitting the description of the Mokele M'Bembe have been sighted in Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Albert and Lake Tele. Both the indigenous African population and the foreign settlers have seen what seems to be some sort of relic from the prehistoric past. The eyewitnesses have carefully described animals that are nothing like the known animals of Africa, but very similar to dinosaurs known to have lived in the past. Whatever is lurking in the jungles is most likely to be shy and wary of humans and is said to shun any contact with people, making further proof very difficult to find.
In the continent of South America, there are also tales told of a creature like mokele-mbembe. One account comes from Franz Hermann Schmidt, a German traveler in South America. In 1907, Schmidt was traveling along the Solimoes River in Colombia along with Captain Rudolph Pfleng. Pfleng and Schmidt encountered some huge tracks along the shores of a small lake. Nearby trees were stripped of bark to a height of 14 feet. The following day, Schmidt, Pfleng and their Indian guides saw a dark shape among the trees on the shore. A large tapir-like head was suspended on a snake like neck more than 10 feet above the ground. The creature advanced towards the party but did not seem agitated. It was some 8 or 9 feet tall, with clawed flippers in place of legs. The explorers opened fire on the beast and it dove back into the water.
A report from Karl Shuker mentions an account of an Iguanodon encountered along the Magdalena River in Colombia, but no details are available. In 1931, Harald Westin saw a creature comparable to the African nguma-monene along Brazil's Rio Marmore, a 20-foot long creature which resembled a legged boa constrictor.
Leonard Clark describes a creature more like Mokele-Mbembe. He reported that he heard tales when traveling up the Rio Perene in Brazil. He was told of herbivorous creatures which sounded much like prehistoric sauropods. Finally, in 1975, a Swiss businessman was told by an elderly guide, Simon Bastos, of a creature like that reported by Pfleng and Clark. The long-necked creature had destroyed Bastos' canoe after he had landed along a riverbank. He was later told that such long-necked creatures frequented deep water holes, and rarely came out on land.
A more popular of South America's supposed "dinosaurs," the Argentine lake monster Nahuelito, is known to dwell in and around Lake Nahuel Huapi. Several reports originate from zoologist Clementi Onelli. In 1897, a Chilean farmer in Patagonia reported hearing the sounds of something heavy being dragged along the pebble beach near White Lake. Sometimes, at night, he said, he could see a long-necked form in the water. A man named Vaag discovered animal remains and spoor along the banks of the Rio Tamanga. Onelli was convinced that the traces Vaag found were those of a plesiosaur. Onelli revealed a third sighting in 1913, when he said that a similar report surfaced from the Santa Cruz area.
In 1922, a fourth report was brought to Onelli's attention. A prospector named Martin Sheffield encountered a similar monster in the hilly Chubut Province of Patagonia. Sheffield's creature had a swanlike neck and moved like a crocodile.
So your probably wondering why you never heard any of this. Its out
there believe me but its not taught in schools. The devil doesnt want
people to believe the Bible so he spreads lies like evolution. The
Bible and God are not aloud to be taught in schools because God and the
Bible go against evolution.
Ill admit people lie and not all
stories you hear are true. But people arent claiming theyve seen a
dinosaur to make money or nothing. Most sightings remain untold because
people know they will be ridiculed by the world. In the world we live
in now, saying youve seen a dinosaur is like saying you saw the tooth
fairy. You get laughed at.
Look it up on the internet for yourself. You won't be disapointed. You will get lots of stories, sightings and peoples thoughts about the subject from all perspectives.
Dinosaurs in the Bible
Listed below are just some of the verses in the Bible which speak of dragons.
Deuteronomy 32:33 - Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
Note that this verse says, "the poison of dragons".
There is a difference between poison and venom. Poison must be touched or consumed to be fatal, while venom is injected by a bite or sting. A poison dart frog is an example of a poisonous creature and a rattle snake is an example of a venomouscreature. According to this Bible verse dragons or at least certain dragons had poisonous flesh. When I read this verse it reminded me of a story told about the natives who killed and ate a dinosaur that lived in the swamps. The natives claimed that all who ate the dinosaur died. Well, Deuteronomy 32:33 explains why.
Job 40:15-24 - Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eats grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in the navel of his belly. He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastens not; he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He takes it with his eyes: his nose pierces through snares.
Behemoth is believed to be one of the big long-neck dinosaurs.
Job 41:1-34 - Can you draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down? Can you put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? Will he make many supplications unto you? Will he speak soft words unto you? Will he make a covenant with you? will you take him for a servant for ever? Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your maidens? Shall the companions make a banquet of him? Shall they part him among the merchants? Can you fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? Lay your hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight o him? Nine is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? Who has prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. One is so near to another that no air can come between them. They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. By his neesing a light does shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. His heart is as firm as a stone; yes, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. When he raises up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. The sword of him that lays at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. He esteems iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laughs at the shaking of a spear. Sharp stones are under him: he spreads sharp pointed things upon the mire. He makes the deep to boil like a pot: he makes the sea like a pot of ointment. He makes a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholds all high things: he is king over all the children of pride.
Leviathan is some type of fire breathing sea dinosaur.

If you would like more references, Dr. Kent Hovind is a creation scientist that I really admire. I got a lot of my information from watching his dinosaur seminar movies. Contact him by e-mail at dino@drdino.com and check out his web site at www.drdino.com.
I also got my information from Ken Ham (another creation scientist), the Bible, and internet search for living dinosaurs. I researched from all perspectives.
