This is only mind blowing because popular media likes to show every dinosaur at once. Like there's a lot of things depicting stegosaurus fighting T-Rex; but these animals never would have met. They're from entirely different periods.
We live closer to the time of T-Rex than T-Rex lived to the time of Stegosaurus.
67 million years separate us from T-Rex.
83 million years separate T-Rex from Stegosaurus. (150 million years between us and Stegosaurus)
on a similar note: When cleopatra lived, the pyramids were already ancient
There were still mammoth when the pyramids were being built.
This makes me wonder if there is any possibility that someone who worked on the pyramids knew what roast mammoth tasted like. I suspect the possibility is 0 due to geography, but maybe someone got sick of being cold and happened to be an architect?
There are people around right now who know how roast mammoth tastes.
