The fabulous fake or aztec sioux warrior rides the triceratops . Carved & left in ancient inca tombs, peru. In 1571, the spanish conquistadors brought back stories that there were stones with strange creatures carved on them found in this region of peru. Today, more than 100 such stones have been found by dr. javier cabrera. Non-native archaeologists, anthropologists, museums, etc. , ignored / appropriated / misinterpreted american indian participation & legends. Created their own explanations for american indian legends & mythologies. American indian ideas of extinction / deep time / ages of giant beasts on land & in water. People of the past were just as interested in gigantic bones & tusks as modern visitors to museums. Fully aware of every rock & bush and creature around them.
