Maybe medieval people happened upon a T-Rex fossil and came to a relatively logical conclusion that dragons existed.
I’ve read a couple books on this actually, thats exactly what happened. Also cyclops are from looking at bones from a certain type of baby elephant. The giant note hole and tiny eyes made it look like a single eye.
Yep, can confirm! And what’s even funnier to me is that back in the dark ages, Greek people used to find a lot of prehistoric bear skeletons – and those look exactly like human skeletons, except they’re like eight feet tall or something – so they naturally assumed those were the heroes of legend, and made armour and clothes for them and reburied them with the most splendid and sacred religious ceremonies they could think of? Fast forward five centuries, Athens’ all modern and rational, philosophers and scientists aren’t taking any shit from anyone – but the problem is, people will randomly find graves containing giant-ass warriors, so that’s something that can’t be explained away and yeah, demigods were a thing and yeah, they used to be eight feet tall and sorry I don’t make the rules.
Some scientists suspect that the origin of the cyclops myths came about because of elephant skulls, which are vaguely human in shape but with a honking big hole in the middle for the trunk but easily mistakable for an eye socket without any flesh
remember back in m*ddle sch**l when ppl would say “oh so you called me a b*tch? well b*tch is a dog, dogs bark, bark is on a tree, a tree is nature, and nature is beautiful, so thanks for the compliment ;)” bc that’s what some of you guys’ arguments sound like

The fact middle school is censored is adding an indescribable aura to this post.
Libra views the world through a multitude of lenses. They not only see life through their own eyes, but they can see life through everyone else’s life as well. This is why Libra is able to intellectually grasp many different viewpoints on a single subject.
