How Did the Ancients Know About Dinosaurs?

A few years ago I went into a 13th century Church in Estonia. Inside were mid 17th century paintings of various Bible scenes. I stopped in my tracks when I saw this painting from the Book of Job. It wasn't the Renaissance clothing everyone was wearing but what was behind them. The painting was hanging there a century before the first dinosaur fossils were even discovered yet they showed Job 40 perfectly with Brontosaurus’s.

How did they know?

“Look at Behemoth,which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.
What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly!
Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.
Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron.
It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword.
The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.
Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.
The lotuses conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround it.
A raging river does not alarm it; it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth.
Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?
Job 40:15-24

While in Cambodia I made sure to visit a temple that was built around 1100 AD. How’d they know what a Stegosaurus looked like?

I tried Googling that picture and can’t find any reference to it

Where is it from?

Yeahh...I think we been had....extensive search turned up nothing....would like info on painter....name of painting and exact location...I have been assured that it is a fake by several..but..who knows..after all..would a poster of the OP's reputation perpetrate a fraud....just to pump the idea that Behemoth was a dino?

I did look at the 2nd photo..of the church where the painting is supposed to reside..noted that the style of the frames appear to be different...and the painting is not photographed in situ.

BTW..I learned that Job is the oldest Book in the Bible--figures...the first story...is not Genesis...but the tale of how God and Satan played with a man's life..for a wager!

Shades of Trading Places!

They most likely found fossils. It doesn’t take to much to do that. Between Jacksonville and Tyler Texas you can fill a dozen 1 qt mason jars with fossilized sharks teeth in about three hours of looking and zero digging. At lake Opossum Kingdom you need only walk the shore line to find fossilized Nautilus shells, barnicles and so on. And up around Blanco Texas it’s the same. Fossils are all over the place.

A fossil of a Dino is typically scattered pieces over a large area buried in the ground.

To be sure, but they still had to excavate for construction just like we do. And they weren’t morons, they had the same brains that we do. I see where you are coming from though. Even if they found intact fossils, how would they know those old bones made a brontosaurus shaped critter?

They had certainly seen enough skeletons to literally know heads from tails. And can easily figure out what goes in between. There isn't a whole lot of variation in that regard.

I don't know that they went so far as to do a whole lot of complete excavation, and reassembly. But they certainly took notice of what they saw. Probably the source for many a dragon legend.
