Be careful staring into the void!

T-Rex had only 2 fingers. This shows three, so this is likely a really fat Allosaurus

There were even dinosaurs there!!

That would be paleontology, not archaeology

“People say it’s just like Jurassic Park. It isn’t”

I bet you warn about Land Wars in Asia, don’t you?

My favorite has always been Pterodactyls

I know, but it looks like a related/similar game

Re-live the dream!

So, RFK?

I met a traveller from an antique epoch,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of fossilized bone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered skull lies, whose frown,
And cracked jaw, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its evolution well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The claw that mocked them, and the tooth that fed;
And on the footprint, these ideas appear:
My name is Tyrannosaurus, King of Dinosaurs;
Look on my skeleton, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Ooo! That last one has long fascinated me. It’s a Siphonophore called Praya Dubia. They can get as long as 160 feet long!

I’ve known about Chauvet cave for years, and I’m still in awe every time I see a picture of it. To think most images in this cave are around 35,000 years old. Human history (written history) is maybe 6,000 years old. This is more than 5 times older than that. Humans existed, and were creating things like this, for 30,000 years before the written word.

Pablo Picasso visited the Lascaux Cave (also in France, but much younger), and said the following:

“We have learned nothing in twelve thousand years.”
― Pablo Picasso

I linked this above, but check out Cave of Forgotten Dreams documentary on this cave.

Yes, this is that one.

The amazing paintings in that cave don’t stop there.
