Stegosaurus in Cambodia. Debunking a Forbidden Artifact
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 09. 2024
- In the temple of Ta Prohm, located near the city of Siem Reap in Cambodia, tourists often get dumbstruck by a mysterious artifact. One of the carvings on the temple wall looks like a stegosaurus, a reptile that became extinct dozens of millions of years ago.
So, are we to believe that a real stegosaurus roamed the jungles of southeast Asia only a few hundred years ago? Or is the temple itself millions of years old?
Alexander Sokolov, editor of "Scientists Against Myths", decided to take a closer look at the oopart.

Implies it’s a lotus when it looks nothing like the other lotus carvings.
Also, what a "real stegosaurus" looks like. How many times have scientist "revised" what dynos looked like? That said, this is no smoking gun against the prevailing theories, but it is interesting.
Oh man, I was at Ta Prohm and I didn't see the stegosaurus! Seriously folks, if you haven't been to Cambodia and seen the Ankor area you are seriously missing out. Super friendly people and fantastic food. Do NOT eat in your hotel! The Kmer empire (802-1431) was huge, long lived and nobody teaches about it in the West.
Sorry, but until we beat CO2, I ain't flying again. It's indefensible, IMHO.
@@spacelemur7955 The answer to CO2 is solar, wind, and nuclear. Until people stop voting for the representatives of the fossil fuel industry, the problem isn't going to be solved. You not going on vacation or exploring your world isn't going to change a thing.
@@oscargordon Me alone, no. A billion of us not flying, yes. It's all about the number of people who try. I can't complain about CO2 while not doing whatever I can to reduce my output.
Love this channel, it really helped me to separate fact from all the nonsense on CZcams. Massive respect to SAM.
You should listen to arguments from many sources.
Though these people are very good at some issues they are very unscientific on others.
Notice how they mock and lie about people with a hypothesis that might not been established or proven.
Like if someone speculate about the origin of Atlantis they make a video about how everyone who search for it believes in space aliens and take drugs.
They would've said the same things about those who searched for a real Troy, which is now proven to have existed.
They said the same about those who argued that civilization must be at least 10.000 years old. Now that's proven too.
This video I think they are right about. When they say that Atlantis never existed I say I don't know. I really don't care either but I think it's interesting when we figure out new things about our past and I'm not against people searching for it or have new ideas.
@@chrissibersky4617 Oh I have listened to arguments from more sources than you have had dinners.....this channel only deals in provable and verifiable FACTS....sorry to disappoint you.
@@dazuk1969
Yes. I agree that they do a good job at presenting what is established but they also attack and ridicule anything that isn't. Like they want to freeze history and stop progress.
I'm subscribed here but I'm also subscribed to progressive history channels and those never talks about aliens or the supernatural (except in the context of religious beliefs) or Egyptian light bulbs or Aztec flying machines.
I don't mind to hear scientific explanations, or debunking, of those things.
Hes good isnt he i love these videos
I didn’t hear any facts. Just some opinions that didn’t really make sense lol
Dude, thats not how pseudo science works, you cant compare one carving with the others, especialty not if the other carvings doesnt support the dinosaur fact.
To do it right you have to "analyse" the carving isolated and out of context from everything else, unless its fits in the dinosaur theory.
Love your work and common sense.
Thank you
Your misleading people about basic animals and people
hey, guys and gals! really appreciate the work you do to debunk so many of the myths and misconceptions rife in our world. dinos when that was carved? bull....!
it can be debunked with one simple question: Where are all the other dinosaur carvings?
But we humans know what stegosaurus look like; yet they died out millions of years before we evolved... The ancient Khmers shifted millions of tons of earth, perhaps they found a fossil too....
You didn't give proof. Those artifacts may not be lotus petals.
I saw the diorite vase is still in progress, what an amazing effort! Cant wait for it to be finished.
you will wait next few years; channel should rename to: pseudoscientists confirms "myths"
@ Siema antoś, dalej bawisz się w pisanie bredni? Cóż za żałosna egzystencja... 😄

Well observed. But next time make a few close-ups of the described artifact and give us viewers a couple seconds to look at it in detail ourselves. Without shaking. Thank you! Subscribed
If it's a rhino where's the horn
If it's a stegosaurus where's the tail spikes?
@rayman11 it’s possible there was a species of Stegosaurus without tail spikes. Also whoever made the carving could have made it either from memory or they heard about the creature from someone else and made it off the description they were given.
@@rayman11 There is a spike on the tail...
@@videomonster9778 in what world is that a spike? If that's a spike why aren't the shapes that look exactly like it right next to it also spikes?
@@rayman11 You can clearly see a spike on the tail, its not meant to be some highly detailed image...Plus the one on the tail is much smaller than the others just like the dinosaur.
First comment! Hello from kampot, Cambodia
Hello from Russia!
Hello to you both from Australia ✌
Hi from India. There is a similar temple carved into a mountain her called Ellora caves around 1000CE. Wonderful location as well as thousands of myths. The architecture is outstanding though. There is a temple that is carved from the top of the mountain and drilled downwards. Beautiful, silent and peaceful location. Interesting from an Archaeological standpoint too. Maybe one day you can visit.
Ellora and Ajanta caves, India.
So many historical places throughout the country
@S F With great pleasure we will visit Ellora and Ajanta caves, India
Well yeah, bUt ThEy cOuLDn'T hAve cArVEd iT wItH CoPpEr cHiSeLs! 🤣 Excellent capsule debunk!
Sure about that?
Compared to what we "think" or "imagine" or made and educated "guess" of what it would look like. Perhaps that carving is what they really looked like when alive.
So he didn’t debunk anything…he just said “oh, well I think it’s a rhino.”
It looks more like a rhino than a stegosaurus
@@rayman11
Rhinos don’t have triangles on their backs, nor do they have long tails. Are you blind or just ignorant?
@@abducteeofearth1703 the other carvings on the column have foliage in the background.
It looks nothing like a stegosaurus
@@rayman11
The triangles are on the animal. Not in the background. The stegosaurus THAT HAS A LONG TAIL. Because Rhinos don’t have long tails, dumbass.
@@abducteeofearth1703 how do you know they're on the animal instead of following the pattern of being in the background.
Long tail=\=stegosaurus
The carvings head is too big, the neck is too short, the body is the wrong shape, the tail droops down instead of sticking straight out. It's also too short. The "plates" are the wrong size, shape, number, and orientation, the legs are the wrong length and thickness, it has ears, no beak and no spikes on its tail.
Dumbass.
As I explained in other comment, Stegos weren't native to Cambodia. That would explain the lack of other sources depicting them. However, they were native to China. The most distinguishable part of them, visible even in a fossil, are the plates. When the Chinese discovered the fossil, they described it as a "large, rhino-like animal" to the Cambodians, who associating it with living evidence, basically drew a rhino with plates.
Wrong , your in denial also do you see a horn in the front like a rhino ? Of course not and geography could place a dinosaur they found in china as well in Cambodia like they didn’t walk or migrate . Come on get out of denial
@@danielwadding8642if its a stegosaurus where are the tail spikes?
It is criminal how few views this valuable channel has. Hopefully it will pick up at some point!
Probably a hippo given Cambodia's very wet climate.
Good to see you are at locations
It being a depiction of a wild Hippopotamus's living in Cambodia at any point in history is a likely as people seeing a Stegosaurus.
Looks nothing like a hippo or a rhino ! But looks just like a Stegosaurus
Hippos - Africa ,not S.E.A.
Please show me an actual photo of a stego instead of our interpretation compared to their interpretation
It is possible that they found a fossil or they drew it from the descriptions their elders told them from some kind of stories
The other carvings don't look at all the same they aren't leaves clearly they are plates on that dragon whoops sorry I meant "dinosaur"
All the other carvings have leaves in the background, so whats your point?
Don't believe your lying eyes people...
this is not a stegos.. but a watee buffalo. i visited few days ago and i examined all carving and its just far away to say that its a stagos...
Gobekli Tepi is the site of creation of all things
How do people believe this in the first place.
As I have commented: they have IQs under 75, and a woeful education such that around 90% of what they think it utter garbage.
Peoples believe Because rhinos dont have long tails
And stegosauruses have small heads and thagomizers, so some hit-and-miss. Looks like confirmation bias to me.
@@GyanTvAmit and stegosaurus has tails spikes and a beak, what's your point
@@rayman11 he is scared 😂 lol
It may not be stegosaurus
But definitely not lotus on back theh are back plates
Damage control?
Excellent work!
Thank You..tired of the crap about this being a dinosaur.
It's definitely a stegosaurus.
But it is a stegosaurus there's no question about it it's proof that Dinosaurs lived with humans.
It's a stegosaurus carved on the temple
@@nemanjajovanovic8295
It is.
@@nemanjajovanovic8295
K. Bye.
@@nemanjajovanovic8295 yes it is sir the Bible says Dinosaurs and Humans lived together

Cool artist it sure is
Nice 👍

When you will try to explore about Snatan dharm means Hinduism you will get more amaze things than this it's really Unbelievable Dharma.... Ved puranas Temple in india aree Mysterious and Unbelievable..❤
The true question is, what was the all too accurate inspiration for this carving?
Stegosaurus was not native to Cambodia, but neighboring areas in China. It's possible that the Chinese saw fossils and described them to the neighboring Cambodians. Being the plates the most distinguishing part apart from being a "large beast like a rhinoceros", they ended up just drawing a rhino with stego plates. At least that's my theory.
@@arcturus4762 I say your theory is the most probable, if, the carving is not a fairly recent addition for tourist attention.
I cannot think of any other dorsally plated animal that would have influenced the artist.
@@arcturus4762or the Dinosaur walked to Cambodia to enjoy the warm weather . Just quit being in denial and it makes sense
@@blackhawk7r221your in denial too, come on allready
Rhino dont have big and long tail 😏but i like your inferiority complex
Stegosaurus had tails that stood out straight and had giant spikes on the end. So it can't be that either
@@rayman11 yeah man
They have found 80 so far . Scientist think they are 150million years old so it must be weird to see the truth carved out so spot on with all the people and other animals
Source for the 80?
Also, if its a stegosaurus, why does it look nothing like a stegosaurus
@@rayman11 Google . Is the source so even you scientists can’t dispute it
@@rayman11 it look everything like a Stegosaurus you need to learn how to use your words properly my unbelieving friend
@@danielwadding8642You need to learn what a stegosaurus looks like. Here's a hint, they don't look like they came from a coloring book.
Google isn't a source, google is a search engine that sends you to sources. Do you not have an actual source?
@@rayman11could be a sister spieces of stegosauraus that is still not discovered, could be some imagination as well but can't deny that it looks like a dino
shame of Cambodia. that absolutely fake renew decoration.
Can't see thagomizer on the tail, ergo, not a stego! ;)
Agreed. Point to you. And a bonus point for the reference.
Up
I call be on being debunked
LOOK AT THE TAIL !
The tail that looks nothing like a stegosaurus tail?
Perhaps in the context of medium were to be applied as in, If it were drawn with crayons and found in a children's coloring book the image could be extrapolated to be a stegosaurus. But children did not carve this stone. Thanks for the work your doing!
That’s actually amazing artwork , what a amazing artist probably the best one in the village so he got to do it
It's clearly a depiction of a Steg. Sorry. This is a failed explanation in your video. Move on.
Thank you. Look where the plates start & end. LOOK AT THAT TAIL !
Where is thagomizer?
Then explain why it looks nothing like a stegosaurus
Definitely a Stegosaurus people really tried to believe him , that’s sad
❤❤❤❤🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭
Even if was supposed to show a stegosaurus, it still doesn’t proof man and stegosaurus ever met. It could have been a reconstruction from fossils just as any modern drawing of stegosaurus.
Reconstruction from fossils? They weren't that skilled with archeological technology. That building has tons of animals carved. They saw it then carved it.
🦕🦖🤣
Please GET YOUR HANDS OFF IT im sick of people rubbing their hands over ancient artifacts over time it ruins them
EDIT: Im buddhist, this is a Buddhist temple not hindu. There are no accounts or sutras involving a stegosaurus and it's not how locals in cambodia interpreted it , it was how dope and opium affected hippies interpreted it in recent times
😂lol why you buddhist always jelouse on hinduism,this temple belongs to hinduism king jaivardhan build this temple as hindu but his sun become buddhist and destroy hindu idols,you can still found samudra manthan story of hinduism carved on wall of this temple,so dont lie
Both false religions, nevertheless the Dino carving is cool and changes the narrative that scientists started pushing in the 20th century.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 only if you ignore the fact it's not of a dinosaur
@@rayman11 except it very much is. You'd have to be in an insane amount of denial to say that isn't a dinosaur.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 is that why it looks nothing like a dinosaur?
Still looks like a stegosaurus
Not really
@@drywall1873it’s spot on a Stegosaurus, person is just being a hater
@@danielwadding8642its missing tail spikes, also the proportions are off, also its the wrong shape.
It looks like a stegosaurus from a kid's coloring book
@@rayman11 the stegosaurus from the kids coloring book is spot on
@@rayman11 wrong shape What ? You make 0 sense
I am a creationist. The angled view from the left looks even more like a Stegosaurus! However, I also believe that we shouldn’t accept or discard the carving as a particular animal without a thorough analysis.
It doesn't look like a stegosaurus from any angle
What’s funny is the artist could have been looking at an anteater when he sculpted it! I agree that some art is to interpretive to stand as evidence for something and this is no proof of any particular animal.
That "stegosaurus" is an elephant
Elephants don’t have any of those features! You’re in denial too . Grade school messed you all up bad
Lol sincerely this pure nosense 😅 debunked what? You see a rhino other people se a steg, never see this but sincerely for me look more like a steg than a rhino, why they draw triangles above a rhino? 😂 “debunked” lmaoo
The other carvings along the pillar have leaves in the background.
If it's a stegosaurus, why does it look nothing like a stegosaurus?
@@rayman11are you blind it looks just like one and fits the description with google
Google pic search says Stegosaurus. Google knows the truth
@@rayman11are you just trying to be a hater because it’s pretty obvious
@@danielwadding8642 have you ever seen a stegosaurus fossil? This carving looks nothing like one.
The head is too big, the neck is too short, the "plates" along the back are the wrong shape, size, and orientation, the tail droops down instead of sticking outwards, the body is the wrong shape, the legs are the wrong heights, and its missing the thing its known for. The tail spikes.
Also, that's not how search engines work. *Google* doesn't say anything, it leads you to websites that say things. In your case, websites made by people who also don't know what a stegosaurus looks like
Javan Rhino
Stegosaurus dead on
@@danielwadding8642 Not even remotely.
Either your being sarcastic, or didn't watch the video.
