Cryptozoological riddles can turn up in the most unlikely places, but few can be as unexpected as Cambodia’s perplexing dinosaur carving. One of this country’s most beautiful monuments is the jungle temple of Ta Prohm, created around 800 years ago. Like others from this time, it is intricately adorned with images from Buddhist and Hindu mythology, but it also has one truly exceptional glyph unique to the site. Near the temple’s exit can be found a circular glyph containing the carving of a burly, small-headed, quadrupedal beast bearing a row of diamond-shaped plates along its back – an image irresistibly reminiscent of a stegosaurian dinosaur!
