You know, these ancient legends about monsters coming out of the sea, as an explanation of how traditions such as firecrackers on a certain night got started...
Here in England there are ancient mentions of similar things. One king went to defend a coastal village from a sea dragon, but was swallowed whole. There could be some embellishment, but given the fact we know there are enormous skeletons that we call dinosaurs, combined with endless records of encounters with such creatures, in all parts of the world, maybe it's not entirely myth.
A huge jawbone, that supposedly belonged to a whale, was found high up in the Himalayas. One explanation/theory I've heard is that the mountain range was once the sea bed but was pushed up when India collided with Asia. It's feasible, as other marine fossils were found - even around Everest's peak. Though this is also true for other mountain ranges (which, to me, alongside almost 300 ancient accounts worldwide, and the relatively recent discovery of hydrogen pockets equivalent to twice the volume of water that we find on our surface oceans, gives credibility to the possibility of a global flood that covered the peaks.). Another theory is that whale's ancestors were legged amphibians, and followed the rivers inland... Maybe it wasn't a whale jaw at all, but belonged to something else. Something as large as a whale, that walked on land... I know the supposed time periods aren't even close that humans could have coincided with monsters like that. But I reckon we've made mistakes/left out important factors in dating methods, or something is being covered up.
Bro left an entire encyclopedia on conspiracy theories about whales on a video about learning Chinese language 😂
