Dinosaurs in Mesoamerica. Does this help the Book of Mormon?

Post by _SatanWasSetUp »

This website makes a very solid case for dinosaurs in Mesoamerica during Book of Mormon times. Check out this website.

I was especially impressed with this piece of Mayan pottery. It seems to be airtight proof that dinosaurs existed during the Mayan timeframe. Ths dinosaur pottery was from 100 AD, right smack in the middle of the Book of Mormon time period, only about 60 years after Christ visited. Does this help or hurt Book of Mormon archeology. Could Curelom and Cumoms have been dinosaurs?

Here is a picture of a Nephite riding a dinosaur. Could these be the "horses" mentioned in the Book of Mormon? Joseph Smith would not know what a dinosaur was, and it would've looked like a horse to him.

Those Mesoamerican dinosaurs look really cool, but they're nothing compared to the velocirapture.

Dinosaurs lived with man, but we drove them to extinction. In the end, they will have their revenge.

The ica stones are known to be fraudulant. I've seen video before of the guy carving the images in and then selling them as authentic.

OK. but what about the picture of the Nephite on the dinosaur, I suppose that's a fraud too? Are you up to date on the latest scholarly findings in this area?

LOL on that one, SWSU!
