Here's a look at more of the pillar. As you can see, the "plates" are a prevalent theme and surround all the animals and structures. Remember, these were carved in rock. Leaving all those plates was not only easier, it looked good. You really have to appreciate the creative art for what it was.

Not similar at all.

Exactly. The carving is not similar at all to a real stegosaurus and the plates are obvious artistry prevalent all over the pillar. I know you desperately want to force the square peg in the round hole here and embrace your delusion but denial isn't a response nor is it an excuse to ignore hundreds of peer reviewed research papers on dinosaurs over a silly carving. If that's a stegosaurus then an iguana is a brontosaurus.

I'm up for a good explanation. But pointing out random filler elements in a carving and saying they're the same thing as obviously uniform and consistent elements attached to the back of a creature of some kind doesn't cut it. Try again. Point out to me that it's like a dragon. A recognized mythical creature of the culture that still has distinct features. Like a dragon being long and scaly and breathing fire. Show me that parallel. People carve images of all kinds of stuff.
And it's not like paleontologists have found every extinct critter. Maybe they had a kind of camel rhino around within the cultural memory. Show me that. Debunk harder.

That would actually make much more sense, at least for the latest nazca one, because of the eye and tail.
Maybe it would that is if it looked like a chameleon. Unless
chameleons at the time this glyph was created looked like a
Stegosaurus? It's a Stegosaurus. Can't believe anyone would
even try to pull that crap.
Any adult that's having trouble with it being a dinosaur can
have any little kid set 'em straight.

Maybe some little kids should set you straight and explain that Stegosaurus had spikes on its tail, bony plating on its back, longer body, longer neck and smaller cranium. They would also likely mention that zero Stegosauridae fossils have ever been found in South America, making it even less likely to be depicted.

He also stated the university carbon dated everything to only 10,000 years . Not millions. That right Ten Thousand years.

Good thing there are less ambiguous remains showing that humans saw stegosauruses. Like from Italy we have this ancient carving:

That's even worse than the other one. Desperate times when you religion is dying so fast in the west.
Gotta love creationist liars that never stop embracing myths over scientific research.

Here is a link to similar discovery s in Mexico. Its a good read and very controversial to some in the Catholic church. Mexico Discoveries
