Does anyone know what is up with the giant pile of shit when you try to look up anything related to cern. Its like I’m looking up “area 51” or something.

    Some things have become impossible to search for because of this. Like, i was curious if there might have been fossils found in pre-technological eras and if maybe they were related to the presumption of some mythological creature, but the moment I start trying to search anything about it every single link is some creationist insisting that humans and dinosaurs lived together a few centuries ago or something.

    The Internet has become a bit polluted.

      On Monsters: An Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears Stephen T. Asma

      This book covers this. The answer is yes. Elephant skulls likely informed the Cyclops myth. Griffins were likely from bones found in mountains in Arabia or something, it’s been a second since I read it.
