Seminar 3 - Dinosaurs and the Bible — Kent Hovind

You know for many years the existence of dinosaur fossils was thought to be a problem for creationists and for the biblical account of creation. Hi, my name is Eric and what you're about to see is a powerful seminar that combines the last 30 years of research done by Dr. Hovind.

It's in a field called cryptozoology. Which is the study of hidden animals. The seminars titled dinosaurs and the Bible. Welcome to our third videotape our session on dinosaurs and the Bible. And we'll just refresh for the folks that haven't been here yet.

This is not my wife. That's just a picture of her. We live in Pensacola, Florida. We have three kids all married and the dog died. I made it. I'm home free. It's wonderful and all three of my kids work for me and two grandkids and more coming all the time.

This fellow a National Pornographic a geographic, I mean says. No human being has ever seen a live dinosaur. But I'll hold on just a minute. Does he know that or does he think that? He thinks that there's no way anybody can know that unless they talk to everybody that ever lived.

Did he talk to you before he wrote that? Did he talk to Adam and Eve before he wrote that. I doubt it. He says nobody's ever seen. Well, he might believe that but that's not part of science folks. The Bible says in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and the Bible says pretty clearly in Exodus 20 in six days.

The Lord made heaven and earth the sea and all that in them is. What do you suppose he meant by that? He wrote that on a rock with his finger. That's part of the Ten Commandments. It looks to me like he's trying to tell us so he made it all in six days.

Which means Adam must have seen dinosaurs. Bible says there was no death till Adam sinned. Your textbook says dinosaurs died before man got here. Somebody is seriously wrong. We're going to discuss today who it is.

I'm the last session we talked about how what the Garden of Eden was like the Bible says when God made the world he said. Let there be a firm amount in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters.

There used to be a layer of water above the atmosphere. Some people think it was ice. I don't know if it's a solid liquid or gas. I don't know water comes in three flavors, but somehow there was water up there.

How it was up there. I don't know the Bible says it was and I believe that I think there are some reasonable theories. Of how it might have been up there could have been ice suspended by the magnetic field of the earth.

That's one theory, but the Bible says there was water above the firmament. Also The Bible says most of the water that's now in the oceans used to be under the crust of the earth. If you read Psalm 24, it says the earth is the Lord's he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods.

Psalm 136 he stretched out the earth above the waters. Most of the water that's now on the surface oceans used to be in the crust. Big sub training water chambers. I think when Adam and Eve were here the world was mostly land and a small percentage of water today.

It's 70 water and mostly land and even that land that we have is only 3 habitable for mankind. 3 of the world's surface is habitable for mankind. Most of its ice caps deserts under underwater. God designed it to be inhabited.

What we see today is a junkyard compared to what Adam and Eve saw. So there was water under the crust of the earth that water That's on that used to be under the crust came shooting to the surface when the fountains of the deep broke open.

So from the creation up until the flood things were very different. During that time everything lived over 900 years. You could learn a lot in 900 years. Did you know that Adam spoke every language in the world?

There's only one but he spoke it, okay. Reptiles never stop growing. It's just a simple biological fact reptiles grow all their life. People stop growing when you're 16 or 18, you're gonna quit growing.

At least vertically some horizontally afterwards, but reptiles never stop growing. Now what would happen to a reptile if you put him in the Garden of Eden and let him live to be 900 years old. You'd have a big lizard a really big lizard.

Dinosaurs were giant reptiles that lived with Adam and Eve before the flood. They did not live millions of years ago. They were pre flood not prehistoric. So if this is all true, did Noah take dinosaurs on the Ark?

They asked Billy Graham were there dinosaurs on Noah's Ark? He said no apparently not. Noah's Ark did not include dinosaurs because they were extinct before man got here. Oh Billy now you got death before sin.

I love Billy Graham praise God for the good. He's done before. He's wrong about that one. Dinosaurs on the Ark and hoping hope he kept the woodpeckers in a steel cage of some kind. Some people say. What do you mean dinosaurs on our kind of big aren't they?

Well. The big ones were big. But the little ones were little and Noah was 600 years old when he built that boat. I just bet he was smart enough to figure out you don't have to bring the biggest ones you can find.

Bring two babies. Hmm, just be sure to get a pink one and a blue one. That'll be important later. There's all kinds of reasons for bringing babies on the Ark. You bring babies because they're smaller.

You know, the biggest dinosaur egg ever found is smaller than a football. You bring babies because they weigh less. They eat less. They sleep a lot more they're tougher. You know kids fall down and bounce and get up and keep running.

Adults fall down and break or lay there for a while. Plus you bring babies because after the flood they're gonna live longer to produce more offspring and that's why you're bringing them. So it makes common sense to bring babies.

Why would he bring big elephants on the Ark? Why bring big drafts bring babies? Hello? Plus he only had to bring two of every sort. Not two of every single variety just two of the basic kinds of animals.

He said in Genesis 7 bring them after their kind. After their kind after the kind after the kind. I mean the Bible is pretty clear there was the basic kinds of animals and only those in whose nostrils was the breath of life and.

Only those on dry land. No one did not have to bring any fish on the Ark. They had plenty of water outside. He also didn't have to bring any bugs on the Ark as bugs don't have nostrils. They breathe through their skin.

Hyspericals. Hey bugs can survive a flood just fine. Unfloating log mats or floating dead carcasses or something or burrow in the mud. Go any place where there's been a flood after the water runs off walk out into the mud and tell me the first thing you notice.

Bugs by the gazillions, right? Noah brought two of the basic kinds of animals on the Ark. Noah probably never saw a chihuahua in his life. He just brought generic dogs like our dog Nicky. We had Nicky for 12 years before we even knew what kind he was a.

A friend of mine came to my house when they said, oh, hey brother. Hope and you got a canard Lee. I Said what? They said your dog. That's a canard Lee. I said really he said yeah, look at you can hardly tell what kind of dog it is.

I mean if you have a full-blooded canard Lee at home, there we go. So just generic animals this Mexican textbook says the horse and the zebra had a common ancestor. I agree and It looked like a horse.

Four-wheel drive genuine leather upholstery all the standard equipment, you know, it was a horse kind of animal. So the basic kinds that were on the Ark not every species. Skeptics will say how did he fit those millions of animals on that little bitty boat?

Now hold on just a minute. He only brought the land animals. Okay, bring those with nostrils. No bugs bring babies. That's common sense bring two of each kind not every single species or variety. Plus how many were there many experts will tell you there are about 8 ,000 basic kinds of animals in the world.

Just basic kinds of animals. I talk pretty fast. I can get going 300 words a minute when I get excited, but did you know if you just talk 60 words per minute? You can name all 8 ,000 animals in a little over two hours.

Some people say Adam couldn't name all the animals in one day. Are you kidding he can name in about an hour dog kind cat kind hippo kind giraffe kind elephant kind. Plus Adam had an IQ of who knows what I mean, he came pre-programmed straight from the hand of God.

He could walk talk name the animals and get married all first day really smart fella, okay. Plus how big was the Ark? The atheists will say he couldn't put those animals on the Ark and I say really how many were there?

They say we don't know. Oh, well, how big was the Ark? They'll say well, we don't know. All we know is he couldn't do it. Oh I see. Is that the way this works? Yeah, well beats what they believe. They believe 18 or 20 billion years ago.

Nothing exploded in the Big Bang and made everything. Mm-hmm, and then 4 .6 billion years ago the earth cooled down and a rocky surface was created. Yes, boys and girls the planet earth cooled and a rocky surface was created.

This is what the textbooks teach and as earth formed it was like the moon. It was hot and there were large pools of bubbling lava, but slowly rocks absorbed the oxygen. Notice this textbook says the percentage of oxygen was zero, but the rocks absorbed it.

I Wondered about that when I said it's a college textbook. Yeah, there was nothing there but they absorbed it all right. So the rocks absorbed the oxygen and then it began to rain on the rocks. Oh man oceans formed as it rained for millions of years millions of years of torrential rains created great oceans and Swirling in the waters of the oceans is a bubbling broth of complex chemicals.

Progress from a complex chemical soup to a living organism is very slow. Well, I guess it is. It's totally stopped doesn't even happen. That's how slow it is. This book says the first self-replicating systems must have emerged in this organic soup.

So their theory says 20 billion years ago big bang 4 .6 billion years ago the earth cooled down. It rained on the rocks for millions of years turned them into soup and the soup came alive three billion years ago.

And that first life-form found somebody to marry. Now there's a good trick and something to eat of course and slowly evolved into everything we see today. So great great great great great great great great grandpa was soup.

They asked me to speak at this college in Boston one time. They said you can speak to our students if our professors can ask you any questions. They want because we'd like to show the students how dumb you Christians really are.

I? Said I would be honored to come for that. Like I Got there and there were six professors and all their students in the room. I felt like Daniel in the lion's den, you know. I Said folks I got my charts out here.

And I said I believe the Bible the Bible says God made everything six thousand years ago forty four hundred years ago. There was a big flood. You know destroyed the world. Noah saved two of each kind not every species.

Just the basic kinds on the ark now since then there's been a lot whole lot of varieties produced. You know big dogs little dogs curly hair straight hair no question. But just basic kinds on the ark and then I told him what they believe.

Because most of them don't know what they believe. You got to tell them. You guys believe 20 billion years ago a big bang 4 .6 billion years ago the earth cooled down it rained on the rocks for millions of years.

Turn them into soup and the soup came Alive three billion years ago. One professor was getting kind of upset about that time. He said Hogan you realize there are hundreds of varieties of dogs in the world.

I Said yes, sir. There's a bunch. He said you mean to tell me that all those dogs came from only two dogs on Noah's ark. You expect me to believe that. I Said sir, would you look at what you're teaching your students?

You're teaching your students that all the dogs in the world came from a rock. They didn't have any more questions after that. I Was in a debate one time and afterwards this lady come up to me, and she said.

She was obviously upset. She said tonight. You said that we believe we come from a rock. We do not believe that. I said ma 'am just calm down. You're about to blow a gasket. You know I Said ma 'am do you believe in evolution?

She said yes, I do. I'm a professor here at the University. I said okay, then tell me where did we come from. She said we came from a macromolecule. I Said and where did that come from? She said from the oceans.

From the prebiotic super. I Said where did that come from? She said well it rained on the rocks for millions of years. It was so cool. You can see it was slowly dawning on her. You know I do believe I come from a rock don't I?

Yes, ma 'am you certainly do. Yeah, I found her life verse saying to a stock. Brought my father to a stone. Thou hast brought me forth. There's grandpa. Yep, I found my daddy's life verse. Lord have mercy on my son for he is a lunatic and sore back.

Anyway, the Bible says the earth was filled with violence. Everybody was wicked all flesh had corrupted his way everything was corrupt and God said to Noah the end of all flesh has come before Me the earth is filled with violence through them the old I will destroy them with the earth.

Make thee an ark. And so Noah said to his boys boys go for wood. We got to build a boat. And so they went and got all this wood. And he built this big boat. Now after the flood was over. Noah's son had a son and named him Arphaxad.

Why would anybody name a kid Arphaxad? Can't you see that kid in kindergarten? What's your name son? Arphaxad. You know how to spell it. No. Nobody does. What's your name. One day little Arphaxad is getting big enough?

He's sitting on grandpa's lap like kids do and he looks around he says hey grandpa. I have a question. How come we're the only people in the whole world? Where is everybody? Eventually that thoughts gonna cross his mind and grandpa was gonna tell them the story about the flood.

Actually his daddy's gonna live long enough to tell that story to Abraham Isaac and Jacob. They lived a long time back there folks right after the flood and today there are 270 surviving flood legends.

They're still telling the story about the flood. In many cultures that have never heard of the Bible. You know the Hawaiians Had a legend that said the first after long after the death of Kunihana the first man the world became a wicked terrible place.

To live there was one good man left. His name was Nu 'u. He made a great canoe with a house on it and filled it with animals. The waters came up over all the earth and killed all the people. Only Nu 'u and his family were saved.

Interesting one family saved in a giant canoe. That sounds kind of like the Bible story doesn't it? The Chinese have a story called the hiking classic. It's one of the oldest stories in the world. It says the father of their civilization is a guy named Fuhai.

The story says Fuhai his wife three sons and three daughters escaped a great flood after the flood. They were the only people alive on earth and They repopulated the world. Well now that sounds kind of like the Bible story too, doesn't it?

The Tolec Indians in Mexico have a legend that says the first world lasted 1716 years and was destroyed by a flood that covered the highest mountains. Only one family named Cox. Cox survived 1716 years.

Well, you know the Bible dates add up to 1656. But that's not bad for a legend. 4 ,000 years old. I just suspect maybe even the Atlantis story is another flood legend. As far as the people on the ark were concerned the whole world sank beneath the waves, you know.

Why would there be 270 surviving flood legends today? Oh I think it's because there was a flood. That's my theory. If you look at the country of Turkey on the far right hand side, there's a mountain called Mount Ararat.

On a Turkish map. This is called Noah on gum sheet, which means Noah's big boat. They've got signs you drive right up to it this way to Noah's big boat five kilometers. Bible says the ark rested in the seventh month.

No, that's interesting. Some of the skeptics will say no the flood lasted a year. The flood didn't last a year. Noah was in the ark for a year. But parts of the ground probably only underwater for a few weeks or a few months just long enough to ground everybody.

The ark actually hit bottom in the seventh month now, why didn't he get out to the 13th month? We cover all that on video number six all the reasons why he stayed in the ark. But Bible says the ark rested in the seventh month upon the mountains a plural mountains of Ararat.

The Bible does not say the ark landed on Mount Ararat. It could have. I don't know. But it doesn't say that there are at least four theories of what happened to Noah's ark. Some people says say they took it apart and used the lumber for buildings.

After all when Noah got off the ark, how big were the trees outside about this big right pretty tough to build a house out of. Some people say it rotted it fell apart. It's gone. Could be some people say it's still on the mountain and they're always going over there looking for it.

They always come back and say boy. We just almost found it. We'll try again next year and it could be. I don't know other people think it's not even on the mountain. It's down in the valley. Those who think it's on the mountain go over there looking for it and they always say it could be here could be here could Be here.

They're always looking for it and I'm not against that at all. But I just am telling you there's no absolute scientific proof that it's even on the mountain. Other folks think it's not even there. They think it's down in the valley because the chances of something landing on a mountain as the mountains are rising or the waters running off.

Chances are close to zero. Try it in a bathtub bring something up under a floating object. It'll float off to the side. It's more likely to land in what's called a nested area between a bunch of mountains and the water can slowly drain off.

Many people think that the 1960 photograph showed a boat shaped object that could have been Noah's Ark as. They examined it then in 1978 an earthquake lifted it up out of the ground or the ground fell away or whatever happened.

It's now sticking up out of the ground about 10 feet or 15 feet. They think that's Noah's Ark right there that boat shaped object. I've had people tell me that's not Noah's Ark because when mud flows around an object it makes a teardrop shape.

Well, I understand that I taught physics on how that works at the front end of a airplane wing is rounded the back end is pointed. But this one's facing backwards. There are two more teardrop shapes like that.

But the round end is uphill on this one the pointed end is uphill. This is not a mud flow. Many folks think that's Noah's Ark. I knew Ron Wyatt. He died in 99, but he was a good friend of mine. We differed on quite a few little things, but he was a good guy.

He loved the Lord. He and many other folks thought that was Noah's Ark. They did a lot of studies on that so yeah, we think that's the ark. They say it collapsed on itself folded out to the side is with ground penetrating radar.

They found what they said were deck timbers in there. They found iron rivets and bolted this thing together. They've got some in the museum south of Nashville. I've held the mute rivets in my hand. Go to Cornersville, Tennessee.

As soon as you get off the interstate this whole abandoned gas station that they've converted gas station right there into the museum about Noah's Ark. The government of Turkey said yep, that's Noah's Ark down in the valley.

They built a visitor center. Now there been some creationist organizations to say no. It's not Noah's Ark and we don't like you because you even say it might be okay. I'm sorry, you know I ever start working for you.

I'll do what you say, but meanwhile, I'm gonna tell folks I think it's a possibility that it could be Noah's Ark. The Bible says the ark will be 300 cubits long. Now cubit is elbow to fingertip. I'm 6 1 my cubit is 21 inches.

The standard Hebrew cubit was 18 inches. The standard Egyptian cubit is 20 .6. That boat shaped object is 20 .6 inches times 300 or 515 feet long. So that doesn't prove it's Noah's Ark, but it could be it's in the right place.

It's about the right shape and it's about the right length. It's about two-thirds the size of the Titanic makes it about almost two football fields long pretty good sized boat in that region. They found 12 big rocks that weigh about 9 ,000 pounds apiece.

These rocks have holes in the top. Apparently that hole was to hold a rope and This rock was held over the side of the boat 10 or 12 or who knows how many they found 12 could have been more. That's called a drogue stone.

If you hang a bunch of rocks all around the boat, the boat becomes more stable during stormy weather. It's like a whole bunch of shock absorbers to keep the boats flat, you know, keep your platform flat.

If it really gets windy. They'll drag behind you and it turns the boat perpendicular to the waves now. You can't roll over capsize. That's real dangerous in high seas. One atheist wrote me a letter and said Hovind I heard your seminar about Noah's Ark having rocks hanging all over the side.

He said you are so stupid. Don't you know if he had rocks hanging all over the boat? It would slow him down. I wrote back and said where was he going? He's not trying to go anywhere. I'm stupid. Yeah, I debated a former preacher turned atheist and He said you can't build a boat more than 300 feet long because it'll break going over the waves.

He said they built a ship one time that had six masts, you know a six master and there's you know. The twist of the boats about it leaked all the time. They finally had to give it up. Noah's Ark didn't have any masks.

Hello. It's designed to float not to sail. All right, probably a big barge of some kind. I don't know. He said the boat, you know when the waves come up it bends and breaks in the middle. But a lot of boats over 300 feet long have been built out of wood and survived.

The Chinese had some really big ones many years ago out of wood. Plus if you put a moon pool in the boat that solves the problem a moon pool is a hole in the floor with walls. Up on the inside, of course, so the boat doesn't say and as though as you go over the waves this relieves the stress now the water come actually comes up inside the boat partway a Moon pool is a pretty cool idea as the water goes up and down in that hole.

It would be relieving the stress. Good great place to dump your garbage too, by the way inside the boat out of the ring. Thirdly it acts like a giant piston to pump fresh air in and out of the boat every time you hit a wave.

Remember what he had in the basement. You might pray for a good wave once in a while. Yeah. So anyway when the dinosaurs got off the ark what happened to him if the Bible story is true as I say that it is Noah had to have dinosaurs on the ark.

So what happened to him? What made the dinosaurs go extinct that's a question they're always asking the kids in school. There are at least 16 theories floating around the textbooks. They'll say kids. Maybe a meteor struck the Yucatan Peninsula 65 million years ago.

Well, another guy from Indiana's got a cool theory. He says the dinosaurs killed themselves off with their own flatulence. He said they couldn't stand the heat. I Don't know what to do about a theory like that.

But what made the dinosaurs go extinct? Hey, yeah, they're asking the wrong question. The question is not what made them go extinct. The question is did they go extinct? You know, the liberals are really good at getting us to argue about the wrong topic.

They're always asking me should we teach creation in public schools? I Said that's a good question and I will be glad to discuss it. However, there's another question. We need to ask first. Should we have public schools?

Yeah, let's ask that one first. I praise God for the good godly public school teachers. My mother was a public school teacher and retired my brothers and his 34th year teaching public school. He led me to the Lord.

There are many good godly public school teachers. Okay, but folks the work the books they work from the curriculum is corrupt. Unfixable. I think if you love your kids and you possibly can get them out I don't think it's fixable.

Praise God for the good teachers are gonna slug it out in there and I'm for you. And I want to help. Okay, but I don't think it's fixable. Bottom line. If you want to find out why we have a public school system.

Our Tenth Amendment to the Constitution says the federal government's got no business being involved in education. But we've got a public school system as part of a bigger long-range plan toward a new world order.

That's Karl Marx's idea. Communist Manifesto plank number 10 free public education. We'll cover more on that on Seminar part 5 and also on our college class CSE 102. You don't want to watch that one. That's politically incorrect.

Anyway. When the dinosaurs got off the ark, they faced a very hostile climate. Things had changed. Remember before the flood they lived over 900 years after the flood only 400 and then 200 and then 100.

Something changed after the flood folks the canopy of water. They used to protect them was gone. And you're not gonna make it to 100 or 200 for sure. You might make it to 100, but you won't make it to 200.

Not in this world. Dinosaurs had two serious problems after the flood number one. The climate was a lot different. They just couldn't live long enough to get big enough to reproduce in many cases. So some species probably went extinct in the first few generations.

Second problem, I think was worse. People hunted them. Back in those days. They called them dragons. They didn't call them dinosaur because the word dinosaur wasn't made up till 1841. So for most of human history, they called them dragons.

Dragons are mentioned in the Bible 35 times and As the population began to grow after the flood. The population of dragons began to go down because nobody wants to live next door to a dragon. The same thing happened right here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

How many grizzly bears are roaming loose in the woods in this county right here? Zero, right? How many grizzly bears roaming around Milwaukee area 500 years ago? Probably a whole bunch of them. Well what happened?

As people move in and civilize an area. The big diner the big creatures are ferocious creatures are driven off or killed off. Happens all the time if it came on the evening news tonight that there were five grizzly bears roaming around Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Do you know what would happen by six o 'clock in the morning? Every redneck in four counties would be out with a rifle trying to shoot him. All right, and whoever could shoot the biggest one would be a hero.

They'd put his picture in the paper. Hey Bobo shot the grizzly bear and saved the village. That's exactly what would happen. Well, that's what happened to the dragons man. If you could figure out a way to kill a dragon, you'd be a hero.

They'd tell stories about you around the campfire for generations to come and. There are thousands of stories of people killing dragons. They killed him off for meat. There'd be a lot of hamburger and one brachiosaurus.

They killed him for medicine. It's amazing how many ancient recipes call for dragon bones to be ground up and put in with the medicine. Lots of legends tell of people killing dragons. Gilgamesh supposedly slew a dragon.

A Chinese guy named you slew dragons that were Bothering them as they tried to expand the territory and drain off the swamps and make the land of China livable again. Had to drive off the snakes and dragons.

The Babylonian God Marduk is shown pictured on top of a dragon. Possibly a fire-breathing dragon. You say oh, you don't believe in fire-breathing dragons. Do you? Oh, yeah. Bible talks about a fly fiery flying serpent.

Look at Job has a whole chapter Job 41 about Leviathan the fire-breathing dragon. It says out of his mouth go burning lamps and sparks. A fire leap out out of his nostrils go a smoke. I've seen deacons do that at Southern Baptist churches.

As out of a seething potter cauldron his breath kindle of coals and a flame goes out of his mouth. There really was a fire-breathing dragon in our green series of tapes the topical ones. We've got a whole tape out there hour and a half about Leviathan the fire-breathing dragon.

If you get a Catholic Bible you find the book of Daniel has two extra chapters Daniel 13 and 14 as part of the apocryphal books. It shouldn't be in Scripture. It's interesting reading, but it's not part of Scripture.

It says there was a great dragon in the place and the Babylonians worshipped him and the king said to Daniel behold I'll can't not say now that this is not a living God adore him. Therefore and Daniel said I adore the Lord my God for he is the living God, but that is no living God.

But give me leave it means give me permission Oh King and I will kill this dragon without sword or club and the king said I give thee leave. Then Daniel took pitch and fat and hair and boiled them together and made lumps and put them into the dragon's mouth and the dragon burst asunder.

What a strange story. Let me give you the Hovind translation of what's going on here. The Bible tells us Daniel was a man who understood science. He knew full well that pitch is made from tree sap and it's very sticky.

They used to have whole industries in America just making pitch to use to waterproof chips. They would coat him with pitch made from tree sap particularly pine and Fat is very salty tasting and just about all animals like salty tasting things.

The hunters put out salt licks for the deer right or cat cattle have likes salt licks and hair won't digest. He mixed them all together tossed him in the dragon liked the taste swallowed him, but they wouldn't digest.

And these were the days before Roto-Rooter and so he burst asunder. You figure it out anyway. So now I'm insane. Hussein thinks he is Nebuchadnezzar reincarnated. The guy has a serious ego problem. He thinks he is Nebuchadnezzar brought back to life.

By the way, you ever notice George Bush. I was called him Saddam Hussein. There's a reason for that. I've been told anyway, the word Saddam means Prince Saddam spelled the same way means horses rear-end.

But Saddam thinks he is Nebuchadnezzar reincarnated. He's got his picture in front of Nebuchadnezzar on their currency over there. They're gold coins. He spent a fortune rebuilding the ancient city of Babylon, did you know ancient Babylon has been rebuilt?

They always knew where the city was. It was destroyed about 600 BC. But when Babylon was that, you know just buried in the sand forget about it. They dug it out and the sand had really preserved the bricks extremely.

Well, the old brick walls of the ancient city of Babylon were very well preserved in the dry sand over there and they found carvings of lions and carvings of Dragons, how did they know about dragons in 600 BC?

Well that had been almost 2 ,000 years since the flood so from the flood up until you know Nebuchadnezzar reign is 1 ,800 years probably most dinosaurs were gone by then. But I think a few were still around and he had one in a cage apparently in 300 BC.

Alexander the Great reported his soldiers were scared by dragons when they conquered part of India. This Roman mosaic was made in the 2nd century after Christ it shows two long-necked dragons fighting or kissing.

What that would be necking wouldn't it? Anyway, how did the Romans know about dragons in the 2nd century after Christ? St. George is famous for slaying dragons in 275 AD. He finally got killed because he was a Christian.

Beowulf slew dragons got to try to read the Beowulf story in Old English. We sell the book only because it's such interesting reading. The Old English is I think impossible to read. That's English folks from 1 ,500 years ago.

Our language has changed a little bit. Okay, probably the peak of the English language was about 400 years ago and Shakespeare and God chose to use the King James and all that stuff about that time. But the peak of the English language, but the Beowulf story says Beowulf killed Grendel the dragon.

By pulling off one of its arms and the creature bled to death. Strange story. You know, they found a Babylonian cylinder seal showing a guy pulling the arm off a dragon. There are dragon legends from countries all over the world.

Ancient pottery like this one probably one of the oldest pieces of pottery on planet Earth from the first dynasty of Egypt shows two long-necked dragons. Looks like dinosaurs to me. There's another one showing two long-necked dinosaurs holding a sheep between their mouth between their mouths.

This hippo tusk was found in an ancient Egyptian tomb from the 12th century BC. Chosen animal with a long neck and a long tail. Why would there be dragon legends from countries all over the world? Thailand has many legends of the dragon.
