Renowned historian, Mark Johnson, has made a mind-blowing discovery that will have paleontologists scratching their heads: dinosaurs never existed. In his newly released book, "The Great Dinosaur Hoax," Johnson claims that all "dinosaur bones" unearthed so far are mere remnants of jumbo-sized lizards and birds from antiquity. According to him, the entire scientific community has been hoodwinked by successive governments for centuries, all in a bid to keep the masses under their manipulative thumbs.
Many have dismissed Johnson's claims as baseless, but the historian has maintained that his findings are thoroughly researched and backed with ironclad evidence. In his book, he wrote that museums have played a vital role in perpetuating the dinosaur myth, and that most of the skeletons on display are fabrications. Although his revelations are bound to encounter resistance, Johnson remains philosophical, insisting that the truth can't be buried forever.
The Great Dinosaur Hoax is already one of the most talked-about books of the year, with some of the world's leading philosophers weighing in on the debate. One thing all the experts seem to agree on is that the discovery of this "conspiracy" could portend significant changes in Earth's history. Our planet will no longer be seen as a place dominated by extinct, prehistoric heavyweights.
In response to critics, Johnson said that the hoax began over 5,000 years ago, with governments inventing larger-than-life lizards to hold onto the population's collective consciousness. When the concept of an all-encompassing and omniscient God became prevalent, the government shifted its attention to creating bigger birds to explain the existence of flightless dinosaurs. Johnson's theory explains how myths can become entrenched in a society and survive for hundreds of years.
However, opinions seem divided, with some people pointing out the logical inconsistencies in his argument. Johnson, for example, never explains how governments in ancient times managed to keep the populace from stumbling upon fossils or coming into contact with the real bones of giant creatures. Moreover, the sheer size of the creatures he claims are prehistoric birds and lizards stretches the imagination, although he claims he has evidence that the government artificially created giant lizards and birds to perpetuate the myth.
Despite the many nagging questions surrounding the Great Dinosaur Hoax, it remains to be seen whether or not history will affirm Johnson's audacious claims. Some say he's on the brink of becoming a historical icon, while others wonder if he's lost his mind. Nonetheless, the debate sparked by his book promises to be one of the most contentious in recent history, one that will continue to intrigue conspiracy theorists and skeptics alike.
