Earlier Paleonthologists?

       In 1944 Waldemar Julsrud found a few strange figurines while horseback riding in the mexican region of Acambaro. The small statuettes represented dinosaurs like creatures and humans from all around the world. Julsrud couldn't explore the site but he asked a local farmer to search for other figurines in that site. Surprisingly, the farmer found 32000 de statuettes well preserved. The artefacts were dated with carbon isotopes and was demonstrated that it wasn't a hoax. The statuettes are between 6,500 and 1,500 years old.

       One question raises: Who made the statuettes knowing so well how a dinosaur looked like?
