Question

...which later became a religion says that they are most advance races inhabited earth long before dinos which they became gods to certain races like the mayan, greek ...is it possible?

and where i can find this studies?

Answer 1

gods never did exist, only God existed then and now.

Answer 2

Sorry pal, but the Greek, Mayan and ancient Egyptians didn't know about dinosaurs.

If they found any evidence, yes, the said the gods put it there and it's some monster or something to teach them a lesson

Answer 3

Well, in ancient Greece they thought the dinosaur bones were actually "Giant's Bones". According the Greek Myths, before humans the land was populated by a race of giants, who were so warlike they had to be destroyed. When they found a dianosaur fossil, they just assumed it was the skeleton of a giant.

There are various different versions of when humans were created. But from what I can tell, the Giants were supposed to be around at the same time as the Titans.

Answer 4

Well, most likely those gods lived before the dinasaurs, I can imagine (and I don't know if its true or not, that remains a mystery) that it probably went gods, Sea Creatures and the sea creatures evolved into large land creatures, but as the water decreased so did the animals size...I dunno..

But anyway, yes the gods probably came before the earth itself...

Answer 5

no sorry buddy the Greeks & Mayans religious beliefs came way after the dinosaurs

Answer 6

The Gods came about 4000 years ago, so they were after the dinosaurs. :)

Answer 7

No.  Not according to most acadmics, at least.  If you're looking for resources on such studies, you'd be best to look into authors and pseudo-scientists upbraded for their odd theories, like cryptozoologists and pseudo-archaeologists like Graham Hancock.  Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago.  Modern Homo sapiens sapiens entered into the picture a mere 250,000 years ago.  Check the zeroes.  But I understand where your coming from...I think.  The field of Mythology and Folklore is complex and vast.  You're dealing with culturally specific stories with no clear-cut boundaries affecting human consciousness on the some of its most deepest levels: relationship to environment, perception of the cosmos, relationship to culture, an self-identity.  Stories of gods and goddesses weren't just there to explain natural phenomena, but also as a means for people to gather around, symbols that conveyed a sense of identity with a culture and perception of the world.  Gods weren't people, and Mayans, ancient Greeks, ancient Slavs, Scythians, Sarmatians, you name it most often did not think so.  They perceived the subtle processes of life around them and personified them to make them a little bit more relatable.  And I'd watch out for calling these people "races," which is a touchy term, connoting cultural evolutionist tendencies.  Furthermore, people, whether they be Mayans, ancient Greeks, or whoever are not automatons of their belief systems.  These people certainly hadn't thepolitical structure for strict dogma, but amorphous conceptions of any "truth."  And belief systems, just like cultures, are never constant.  They die out, as did these people.
