Cool

It's probably the same thing as the 'human and dinosaur footprints together' in Paluxy. Someone wanted it to be true so they kept digging out 'what shouldn't be there' until they had the tracks they wanted. Same thing here.... fossil bones are easy to damage when being dug out.

Oh well. Baffling of "tribal folk" has always
been a simple thing, and has led many of the
worlds religions...

That doesn't surprise me. After all, one of the tabloids discovered the skull of Satan in the mid 90's, so anything is possible.

Ok... that's another possiblity I hadn't considered.

BTW, does anyone else get really annoyed that people keep pulling this Dungeons & Dragons garbage of referring to a 'race' of Cyclopses?
