The continental drift theory has many flaws. After the last ice age, I believe these lands got engulfed by rising sea levels. The continents we see today are the only ones not submerged. As a matter of fact, when the Earth was hotter, there was even less land!

I have a modern replica of one of those figurines (I was married to a Venezuelan, went there often).

I remember reading and article in Reader’s Digest in 1962 or 63 about continental drift (and the scientific establishment’s pooh-poohing of the idea).
I feel as if I’ve grown up with Continental Drift, reading article after article that changed it from a fringe idea to the mainstream of science.

Of course this is the kind of early article that Erich von Danniken would later cite as ‘proof’ of alien visitors.

That dinosaur statue is remarkably similar to a llama statue I saw somewhere. The coincidence is amazing, it must have been a distant predecessor (or maybe a llama statue).

It says that the continents were connected as recently as 250 million years ago and then says that humans lived there. Not only lived there but made dinosaur statues. Did they really believe humanity was that old?

Here is the first page of Bennett’s paper about the findings.
