The Dashanpu formation at Zigong was not discovered until 1972:Rock wrote:So how do you explain the magnificent dinosaur museum with dozens of fully intact dinosaur fossils in Zigong? Why did the Chinese give this site a pass before the museum was created?momopi wrote: The ancient Chinese found dinosaur bones and thought they were dragon bones, and used them in traditional Chinese medicine to this day. They'd grind up the dinosaur fossil and eat it. At one time China probably had lots and lots of dinosaur graveyards, but the bones were eaten so they're not easy to find these days.
Does the PRC government allow for the use of dinosaur bones in traditional medicine or is it an underground activity? And how are Chinese med practitioners able to get steady supply of extremely rare dragon, err, I mean dinosaur bones? I'll ask about this next time I visit the corner vendor in my neighborhood. But it sounds pretty far-out, wouldn't you agree?

Initially the PRC government did not value the find, and the fossils were saved by a dedicated team from Beijing Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology. If it was found 100 years earlier, I think whatever they dug up would've ended up in someone's stomach. Dragon bones were not limited to dinosaurs, they pretty much ate any fossilized animal bone & teeth, including Shang-dynasty oracle bones up until the 20th century. Any fossil digging in China today require government permit, and I wouldn't trust any vender selling dragon bones as authentic.
There ya go, your solution for being "free" is right there. Your dream is to be self-sufficient like the Amish right? Talk to the folks over at BHM and start learning how to homestead:odbo wrote: b) the origin of the occult (eclipse), and of the main religions. I never said this or the ouroborus is used or talked about in the religions themselves. If anything they link to the snake using some other animal. The same way there are a thousand symbols, synonyms and codewords for Satan (including snake/serpent). I don't care what the Inuit believe! You can't take anything from people who have nothing, like the Amish, thus they are free regardless of where their religion originates. Who's taking things out of context here? Arguments due to lazy posts or unrealistic expectations for posts are so typical of internet conversations. Everything must be absolute. "Oh, you can't say all American women are bad. Not all of them. You're sexist!.. blah blah blah". Not sure what you want from me, to write a book of religious history? I'm trying to cut through the bullshit. At first glance the Catholic church is into God and Jesus, but you look into it, and it's pagan sun worship, and if they worship anything about Christianity it's the death of Jesus.
