Same explanation can be drawn from dinosaur bones leading to every culture on Earth having some form of dragons.

So you’re telling me ancient Greeks, some of the most intelligent and prolific philosophers in history, can’t tell the difference between a human skull and a small elephant? As I remember, cyclops are basically just humans with one eye in the center of the heads. That being said, the differences between a cyclops skull and a human would skull would have but minuscule differences. Contrary to what is taught today, ancient peoples were not stupid.

Your whole website is absolute BS. I literally found a blog saying that pineapples were "ancient roman" because the native americans came to europe..? The romans had a hard time crossing the channel but you still assume that native americans came with their canoes all the way across the atlantic? Your whole website is just a giant circlejerk its an absolute nightmare
