Apparently Ark Encounter will soon have a diorama of Romans fighting a carnotaurus in the coliseum.
Apparently Ark Encounter will soon have a diorama of Romans fighting a carnotaurus in the coliseum. I wasn't convinced they were part of the same display until I noticed the gold/bronze sheaths on the carnotaurus's horns.
That's... Awesome. I mean horrible that it's being presented as fact, but still... totally rad.

That's insanely badass.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of David Drake's book Birds of Prey which has time travel and Romans fighting an allosaurus. I made it into a D&D 3.5 convention game for Gen Con many years ago.
ReplyDeleteThey basically stole your adventure idea.
ReplyDeleteAlso, kudos to the sculptor. It's hard to tell from that angle, but it looks really accurate. You can just barely see the tiny arm, and from fossilized skin impressions we know it was covered in bumpy osteoderms.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the Christians in my adventure and the original book were murderous cultists.
ReplyDeleteI'd go to the Ark Encounter, but I'd blow a gasket arguing with the staff. The model is cool, though...
ReplyDeleteI'd go. Do they allow booze on premise?
ReplyDeleteI would go, but I'm 100% unwilling to give them any of my money. Ditto to the state that decided to grant them tax exemptions even though they refuse to engage in equitable and fair hiring practices.
ReplyDeleteMan... I seem to have this soapbox surgically attached to me...
Dyson said it so I don't have to.

Not a very good ark then, is it!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that'd be a fight in some computer game.
ReplyDeleteIt seems Christian history is way more exciting than science history. They take the best parts and add ghosts, zombies, and dinosaurs.

I blame Australia for the whole situation Tony Demetriou. You sent us Ken Hamm.
ReplyDeleteWell, y'know, Australia is a problem for him. Would have to explain some tricky questions about monotremes, non-flying-but-still-winged bats, and the like...
ReplyDeleteMuch easier to pitch this to USians. He's all yours!
Apparently, the Sumerians looked on in confusion as God created the world...
ReplyDeletewow where did they get this idea from?
ReplyDeleteNot the Bible.
ReplyDeleteChris Tamm Bishop Ussher made this determination based on biblical chronologies. It isn't specifically cited in the Bible. But a 6,000 year old earth demands that humans and dinosaurs coexisted...
ReplyDeleteso he is a bit thick then
