Previously, Argentine archaeologists found a 220 million-year-old dinosaur fossil site in a park west of the capital, Buenos Aires.

According to preliminary investigations, there are 10 well-preserved dinosaur fossils in the dinosaur site, so it is called a dinosaur tomb by the majority of netizens.

If we extend this problem to aliens, it would be quite ridiculous, because there are too many presets, and there is no evidence for each ring, for example: whether aliens exist or not, we have no evidence; aliens also have burial habits? We also have no evidence. Aliens running so far to Earth? Reason not found. Why these are buried, it is not clear.

But in fact, it would be better if we put our views on people.

Some people boldly speculate that in ancient times, there were also human beings, and from the birth of the earth to the end, there were human beings living, and the earth was built for human beings. And each period of the earth is 100 million years, and the first 50 million years of the earth this time are the coexistence period of three different sizes of human beings, so giants are universal. Dinosaurs are the domestic animals and food sources that giants make.

If you follow this line of thinking, things will be logical. It is a bold guess that dinosaur cemeteries exist because their owners did it. Giants are five meters tall, and dinosaurs are either their mounts or pets. It is the same as how we feel about cows and horses, and it is not difficult to understand this behavior.

In fact, the so-called dinosaur tomb in Argentina is actually a small dinosaur fossil site. This small dinosaur fossil site has been found in many parts of the world.

For example, China's Chongqing Yunyang dinosaur fossil group has 17 fossil-rich communities within the range of 150 meters long, 2 meters thick and 8 meters high; dinosaur streams in Kugou Village, Zhucheng City, Shandong Province, have excavated a dinosaur fossil corridor with a length of 500 meters and a depth of 26 meters, and found more than 7,000 dinosaur fossils, including at least 10 dinosaur species such as large duck-billed dragon, horned dragon, tyrannosaurus, ankylosaurus, and osteopoda. In China's Xixia and some parts of North America, there are a large number of dinosaur fossil groups, and through the form of dinosaur remains, surrounding stratigraphic sediments, etc., it is possible to determine the reasons for the formation of some dinosaur fossils and even the death of dinosaurs.

For example, the world's largest dinosaur cemetery discovered in Alberta, Canada, in 1997, was a massive flood that caused the death of dinosaurs, and this 2.3-square-kilometer fossil bed about 76 million years ago buried thousands of dinosaur fossils, which belonged to a plant-eating horned dinosaur known as "Centrosaurus", which was about the size of an ox.

If we ask who buried these creatures, we can only make some inferences based on what we currently know.

To explain the accumulation of bones in Argentine dinosaur tombs, scientists speculate that there was a period of time when it was very dry, there may have been a fairly rare water source here, a small lake, herbivores flocked here to drink water, as the lake evaporated and dried up, some weak dinosaurs died around the lake.

There are many sudden catastrophes in nature that can suddenly lead to mass deaths of dinosaurs or animals, such as disease, floods and droughts, and even asteroid impacts 65 million years ago. A large number of dinosaurs that died at the same time will generally be found together and excavated together to become dinosaur tombs.
