Cryptid Profile: Mokele-mbembe and the “Lost” Dinosaurs of the Congo
TREY the Explainer・2 minutes read
Claims of living dinosaurs worldwide are often attributed to misidentifications, hoaxes, and cultural influences, with expeditions in Africa yielding no concrete evidence of cryptids like the Monquilium Bimbe. Despite the allure of discovering living dinosaurs, the lack of concrete evidence raises questions about the validity of these claims, suggesting further pursuit of these cryptids is likely futile and a waste of resources.
Insights
- Many reported sightings of living dinosaurs, particularly in the Congo Basin, have been debunked as misidentifications, hoaxes, and influenced by cultural myths, casting doubt on the credibility of these claims.
- Expeditions searching for cryptids like the Monquilium Bimbe in Africa, led by individuals with questionable credentials, have failed to provide concrete evidence, with paleontologists debunking supposed findings like plaster footprints and blurry videos, leading to skepticism about the existence of these creatures and questioning the validity of further pursuit.
