Oopart - Angkor Wat Dinosaur Carving

Oopart stands for Out of Place Artifact, in other words an artifact that doesn't fit or belong to where it was found, confusing matters.

Various groups hang on to cases of oopart as evidence of their beliefs, as evidence against mainstream ideas and so on, myself I just find it interesting.

Angkor Wat Dinosaur


Above is an image of a carving found at the temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, some believe it to show a stegosaurus, evidence that dinosaurs lived along side humans no littler than 1000 years ago. Strictly speaking I don't know if you could call it oopart, there's bugger all info on the subject apart from those with agendas and the image above seems to be one of only a few available, I'd expect more photos seeing that it's a tourist spot.

It does seem out of place if you look at it as a dinosaur, but for me I can liken to any number of other animals.

Cryptomundo has a nice write up from when the story was hot, seems to be no new news on the subject in the 2 years since then.
