[QUOTE="Ydars, post: 4146244, member: 62992"] Cavemen and Dinosaurs NEVER co-existed. The only mammals around at the time of the Dinosaurs were egg stealing animals rather like rodents. The time when we evolved is separated from the time of the great Dinosaurs by more than a hundred million years! If they had not died out, mammals would have never got beyond the stage of rats. Could people please realise that alot of their "knowledge" is actually nonsense that comes from films distorting reality for artistic reasons. Similarly with the "Dark Ages"; they were NOTHING of the sort. In Ireland, art, literature and science all flourished. The Dark Ages is a MYTH invented by Victorian archeologists who loved the Romans too much and didn't know enough about antiquity. The problem was, we have few written records of the time and the buildings etc don't survive well because most were made of wood but 5th-8th century was anything but Dark and it certainly wasn't that violent. Sorry to rant but it does sadden me that people learn their "history" "biology" and "anthropology" from movies instead of actually finding out for themselves from real trusted sources. You have to understand that most of what passes for information in this age is MISINFORMATION. [/QUOTE]
