I was probably told this or read it some stage in my Geology course but I do not remember just now.

1677

In 1677, Robert Plot is credited with discovering the first dinosaur bone, but his best guess as to what it belonged to was a giant human. It wasn't until William Buckland, the first professor of geology at Oxford University, that a dinosaur fossil was correctly identified for what it was.

Dinosaur bones have been discovered for centuries longer, even before Romans took a turd dump in Briton.
Hence where the Legends of DRAGONS came into being from Europe to Asia.
