Dinosaurs never existed

You could instead argue that ancient civilisations named Dinosaurs "Dragons", considering that the term Dinosaur would not have yet existed but to claim dinosaurs never existed is just silly.

My point was they never found any "skeletons" before. Not even when Egypt made big pyramids. I don't know which civilization calls them dragons, maybe in a manga book but this is real life. You base your facts on skeletons that they themselves say it's not the real thing at the museum

Did you do a search to see if your view holds water? A basic search pulls up evidence suggesting that the Romans did in fact have fossil dinosaurs or prehistoric mammals. Paleontology or proto-paleontology in the form of antiquarian curiosity goes back as far as the Stone Age. It's only modern paleontology, complete with focused literature, that begins with the Enlightenment.

Sure they did, back up your claims with facts. I researched and the only fossils they found are fish fossils, or maybe you're referring when they found skeleton of boars but modern scientists are twisting their words by saying it's too big for a boar so it belongs to a giant elephant dinosaur.

If you are a devout Christian or Muslim, yeah this is actually what you should believe except Victor and Yana part. That would be Adam and Eve

I am a Christian, although I have never deviated from my faith. It's none of your business and don't get involved in it, especially Protestants. But Victor is a religion... He knows everything. I think we all descended from Victor.

Augustus's biographer, Suetonius, apparently wrote of Augustus's antiquities, which included remains of "giants." Pliny wrote of the bones of "sea monsters." There are ancient depictions of Stegosaurus in Asia, likely representing a reconstruction. Modern paleontology was largely inspired by Native Americans who regularly found fossil remains and who were in contact with scientists such as Cuvier.

Because they all died off in the Flood of Noah, masses of carcasses congregated in certain areas, like in some parts of the US, where there are huge dinosaur graveyards of thousands of carcasses.

Various ancient cultures speak of dragons. It makes that "dragon" was the term they used to describe a dinosaur.
