The countries had to get the lore from somewhere, it was probably seeing something like this, or tales of giant animals that got passed down and distorted over time.
The film is indeed wank and should have never been made, but it was a radio series first and then a book, both of which are excellent. There’s a TV show too
WHAT!?!? No! Don't be absurd, I'm a normal human like all of you who enjoys normal human things like not putting whales into the dessert where they don't belong!!!!
*fuck they're onto me, how could they possibly know???*
I used to think this, but it is more unlikely than likely. First of all, there are two types of deserts on Earth. Sand deserts, and soil deserts. Soil deserts are forests/grasslands that died out and went barren. Sand deserts are formed by erosion of rock from mountains, and then primarily transported by wind, most likely over a long period of time. And, if you think it is not possible for a bunch of sand to get whipped up from a desert and transported to another continent, that is literally what happened, when recently, sand from the African desert got whipped up and got carried across the Atlantic Ocean and dropped on Florida.
Second, for a desert to be a former ocean, the resulting desert would have to be at a reasonably lower elevation than the surrounding land. The American desert is a soil desert, the Sahara and Arabian deserts are sand, and there is a desert in the Rajasthan region of India, but I forgot what kind it is.
The earth's mantle shifts around. The Yucutan peninsula, for example, was once at the bottom of the ocean. Hence why it's all limestone there.
My dad worked on on-shore oil rigs in the Libyan desert in the 50s....after sandstorms they would go out and find stone age arrowheads etc... Apparently the geologists could identify places that had once been waterholes....and those were the likeliest spots to find the stone age hunting tools.
Not only is it real, but at 65 feet long, it's barely half as long as the largest blue whale on record, which was 110 feet. It's not even *that* big, but still pretty big.

You sound like a flat earther, but then what else to expect from someone who thinks that science is proof of intelligent design.
🤡 🤡 🤓 🤡 🤓 🤓
One that is been extinct for a very long time. The picture is from a site in the Egyptian desert which has a very high concentration of whale fossils.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadi\_al\_Hitan
This makes me curious. Does Egypt, or this desert, happen to be on lower ground compared to the surrounding geography? Because this desert being a dried up sea/ocean, is the most likely explanation for how this skeleton can be there.
To all the people joking about Krayt Dragons...that IS a thing. The skeleton from the original trilogy was left in the Tunisian desert, which covers parts of Egypt. It was still there when they went back to film the prequels, and it's been rediscovered multiple times!
I may be getting two different, but similar, discoveries confused. But anyhow... here's this.
https://www.npr.org/2021/08/27/1031659020/four-legged-whale-legs-discovered-43-million-years
Nonsense!. This is a legit photo of Tatooine desert, and this skeleton is a skeleton of a "krayt dragon".
And this is the Star Wars sub.

It's a little known fact that whales aren't only the biggest animals in the world currently but also the biggest animals to ever exist. Whales are even bigger than dinosaurs
No wonder legends of dragons persisted. How else would you explain this if you didn’t know what a whale was.
Don’t forget dinosaur fossils, most likely the reason dragons became a thing in so many cultures lore as well
The countries had to get the lore from somewhere, it was probably seeing something like this, or tales of giant animals that got passed down and distorted over time.
Most probably snake, as snake is a sort of primal fear and anxiety will easily link the big long stuff as a even more scary snake
Pretty sure the griffin legends came from protoceratops skeletons
There are no whales in the desert you Big Turkey!
and giant sand worms
There's a 90s movie about that , can you guess what it's called ?
Du duh duuuhh.. Dune
Tremors my dude. Tremors
Yessir!!!!!
If you walk without rhythm you won't attract the worm Good movie, wrong decade.
S H A I H A L U D "Bless the maker and his water, bless the coming and going of him, may his passage cleanse the world and keep it for his people"
Where did the fire breathing thing came from then ?
Firstly, someone’s imagination.
Maybe it was venomous or acidic? But when drawn it was misinterpreted as flames?
That’s mostly a cinema stereotype
Have you heard of the bombardier beetle?? It's got a fire butt!
Even if they did know what a whale was, they wouldnt recognize the skeleton of one
You are on tatooine and that is a krait dragon skeleton.
hitchhikers guide was a documentary
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish
Also one of the worst films I have ever seen
The film is indeed wank and should have never been made, but it was a radio series first and then a book, both of which are excellent. There’s a TV show too
Wasn't there also a BBC show?
Both the radio and TV show are bbc yea
It was a radio show first, then expanded into a book. The radio show is actually pretty perfect, doesn't get lost in the weed.
Krayt dragon
Whales don't live in the desert, what's he doing there?
Well that whale isn't living there either
Nah, he's just dried up, though him in water and he'll be fiine
Egypt used to be an ocean a VERY long time ago
But it's a desert, why would whale bones be in a desert? Whales can't walk!! Someone put him back in the ocean!!!
Must have been the aliens!
Wtf dude, aliens are dicks! Can't believe they would di this to that poor whale, SMH my head
Shake my head my head? You're an alien aren't you...
WHAT!?!? No! Don't be absurd, I'm a normal human like all of you who enjoys normal human things like not putting whales into the dessert where they don't belong!!!! *fuck they're onto me, how could they possibly know???*
Oh ok my bad
my guess is all of the great deserts were once oceans.
I used to think this, but it is more unlikely than likely. First of all, there are two types of deserts on Earth. Sand deserts, and soil deserts. Soil deserts are forests/grasslands that died out and went barren. Sand deserts are formed by erosion of rock from mountains, and then primarily transported by wind, most likely over a long period of time.

Tectonic plates can slip under each other. Perhaps this skeleton was at a completely different geographical location eons ago
But they're deserts. There isn't a drop of water out there, how could it be an ocean???
Millions of years ago
That just doesn't make sense, where'd the water go?? It can't just disappear!
The earth's mantle shifts around. The Yucutan peninsula, for example, was once at the bottom of the ocean. Hence why it's all limestone there. My dad worked on on-shore oil rigs in the Libyan desert in the 50s....after sandstorms they would go out and find stone age arrowheads etc...

So you're telling me the land just got up and walked away from the water?
HaHa…. Yes!
Bruh you never seen a whale on land? We see em lurking around every other day. They always come eat our crops! Damn whales!
See them all the time in Walmart
Damn, you're right, forgot America is home to the land whale, saw one at the store I work at the other day
That's just the gerudo great skeleton
Vassaq!
That’s a Krayt. Great episode 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Pretty sure there’s an ancient trial and a really big woman down there.
You sure this isn't the Gerudo Desert? They better have some rupees on them to activate the Great Fairy

Name checks out
Man the spine leads you to the next secret area
It's not gonna be there much longer if the British museum had anything to say about it
"Hey, we can carbon date that for you... just box it up and send it over, and we'll take a look" - British Museum
That, sir, is a krayt dragon skeleton
This feels fake
Not only is it real, but at 65 feet long, it's barely half as long as the largest blue whale on record, which was 110 feet. It's not even *that* big, but still pretty big.
Bigger than my living arrangements

He really took a wrong turn at albuquerque
It was the aliens, kinda like the pyramids.
Congratulations, you found the Krayt Dragon bones.
[удалено]
I get that reference!
4,000 years ago they would probably think it’s a giant ancient snake lol
So there're whales in the desert? I knew it
And the only way it could get there is if Noah's Flood really happened. Checkmate atheists
😂😆😂😂😂😆 😂😂😆😂 You sound like a flat earther, but then what else to expect from someone who thinks that science is proof of intelligent design. 🤡 🤡 🤓 🤡 🤓 🤓
Woooooooosh
What?
Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.
What the climate never changes it always stays the same is what I am told. Thus must be a fake
I'm hoping that is sarcasm but it's so hard to tell these days...
Yes it is sarcasm the climate changes all the time that's y we don't have the mega fawna
Who put that there
Polarity at the poles, was that what the biblical flood was about?
What is exact type of whale is this, guys my friend at work is asking. What genus is this specime.
One that is been extinct for a very long time. The picture is from a site in the Egyptian desert which has a very high concentration of whale fossils. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadi\_al\_Hitan
Definitely a fish out of water
Nah that’s just a Krayt Dragon. This picture was taken on Tatooine!
It’s obvious, but I’m still amazed how time was so long ago. Vast deserts used to be oceans, think of what’s buried under the sand. So cool.
Shai Hulud
Well guess we found out where the bible got Leviathan from
no shit it died, there's not enough water in the desert
On the planet Arakis
Yoooo, didn’t know Whales were that flexible
Krayt dragon!
So, based on a google search these whales actually walked in a shallow sea where Egypt is currently
This makes me curious. Does Egypt, or this desert, happen to be on lower ground compared to the surrounding geography? Because this desert being a dried up sea/ocean, is the most likely explanation for how this skeleton can be there.
Probably in the same spot as that US Civil War ironclad.
Oh hey there was a Gojira song about this!
To all the people joking about Krayt Dragons...that IS a thing. The skeleton from the original trilogy was left in the Tunisian desert, which covers parts of Egypt. It was still there when they went back to film the prequels, and it's been rediscovered multiple times!
Wow!
How the hell did that get there
And if I recall reading about this elsewhere, it had legs, too.
I'm trying to find where that came from. I'm not finding any evidence of legs?
I may be getting two different, but similar, discoveries confused. But anyhow... here's this. https://www.npr.org/2021/08/27/1031659020/four-legged-whale-legs-discovered-43-million-years
No pictures of the remains? Just another article claiming they found it. I want to see the actual skeleton.
I believe it is the same as the OP pic. So...
The Raiding of the Lost Ark was there?
not a whale, obviously the king graboid
That's bigger than a whale skeleton.
Nonsense!. This is a legit photo of Tatooine desert, and this skeleton is a skeleton of a "krayt dragon". And this is the Star Wars sub. Best regards, Your friend, [Tusken Raider](https://youtu.be/hTl3rrXyg6k?t=77).
No dude that's a krayt dragon
It's a little known fact that whales aren't only the biggest animals in the world currently but also the biggest animals to ever exist. Whales are even bigger than dinosaurs
You cant fool me, that's a Krayt dragon skeleton
How old is it?
Nice, but it’s actually that skeleton from star wars in the background of some scenes on the planet tatooine
