Dinosaurs lived in Mesozoic. Some of them were
giant, wild and brutal, some were living in the water, and some were able
to fly. They could have been the real models for dragons and monsters from
myths, legends and fairy tales. But men are said to never have lived
together with dinosaurs which extinct about 60 million years ago. There
are some rock drawings in the Cosquer Cave in Southern France that look
like renditions true to nature of dinosaurs. There are also two
controversial collections: the collection from Dr. Javier Cabrera, Ica,
Peru and the collection from Waldemar Julsrud, Acambaro, Mexico. Those
collections of strange objects raising the question if dinosaurs and men
lived together. The collection from Ica contains stones and figures made
of clay that belong to Dr. Javier Cabrera. The motives show fabulous
beings, unknown landscapes and regions, operations and many dinosaurs and
other bizarre and monstrous creatures living together with men with big
eyes. The exact place where the objects have been found is unknown.
Scientists declared the collection fraud. The collection from Acambaro,
Mexico, is detailed documented. First findings were made in 1944 by
Waldemar Julsrud. Thousands of figures have been excavated near the city
Acambaro and in the North West of Mexico City between 1944 and 1952. The
collection is said to have contained more then 75.000 pieces, today there
are about 33.000 pieces. There are foreign men and strange monstrous
creatures. In 1954 an examination was made by the Instituto Nacional de
Antropologia e Historia (National Institute of Anthropology and History of
Mexico), head was Dr. Eduardo Noguera, historian. In a report it is stated
that everything was done correct during the excavation. But offi cially
archaeologists were critical. In 1968 there was an age dating made that
resulted that the material has to be 6.500 years old. The Applied Science
Centre of Archaeology of the museum of the University of Pennsylvania
dated the same objects. The high age was confirmed: they dated the pieces
to 2.400 to 2.700 b. C. This result was certified with 18 control
measurements. Recent examinations showed that some of the figures are old
and authentic and some of them are modern. This means that the collection
contains ancient and modern pieces in a wild mixture.
