This was posted on one of the videos on the channel of archaeologist Flint Dibble (yes that is his real name, his dad is also an archaeologist and his brother’s name is Chip).

As it said, he debated Graham Hancock on Rogan because he felt Rogan’s audience needed to hear from an actual archaeologist about the nonsense Graham Hancock was pushing and hopefully get them interested in real archaeology, which I feel is a solid reason for going on Rogan and doing what he did. Too bad more actual experts aren’t asked to go on Rogan.

      Umm, I guess that depends on my level of technology. If I had some sort of suit that would withstand the pressure and would let me breathe indefinitely under water, then Large Mosasaurs or Livyatan which could get up to 59 feet.

      And if that technology is unavailable, then a Spinosaurus for the land and a Quetzalcoatlus for the air. That way, I have the smallest chance of being attacked by other dinosaurs.

      And just for fun I know it’s not a dinosaur but I would LOVE to ride or touch or encounter a Arthropleura Read more here: https://www.geologyin.com/2020/05/largest-land-dwelling-bug-of-all-time.html

      Millipedes are so god dam cute!

          Whoa whoa whoa. I was under the impression that I would be riding a dinosaur for recreation, not prehistoric warfare. You just go around firebombing dinosaur equestrians all willy nilly?

          Why not a pterodactyl?

          Because quetzalcoatlus existed.

          It probably ate pterodactyls if it could catch them.
