    You got it all wrong, it wasn’t “rule” as in “management” it was “rule” as in “radical, rad, excellent, *guitar riff*”.

      If there’s a secretary bird today, who knows what was their highest position then?

      There even was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that means they had at least one monarchy!

        It’s too bad the Stenograsaurus never reached it’s evolutionary peak, just think of the records we could have had from that time!

    I didn’t know they had a ruler. I thought they were an autonomous collective.

      Surely the lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult to hold a ruler long enough to measure the Earth precisely.

      They probably didn’t have rulers. Or compasses. It was such an early era that geometry wasn’t invented yet.

      Dinosaurs had a stagnant civilization that needed external aid to destroy itself. We need no stinking asteroid for that!

        If they had elevators that could handle Brachiosaurus then let the trash burn and pee flow in the streets.

        You barely know a thing about them* They survived hundreds of millions of years as the dominant species and to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren’t ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

        I’m not an expert but I know enough to know there’s a lot more out there.

          I think the word you’re looking for is descendants. Ancestors are the ones that come before.

            It’s is a crazy switchup, they once terrorised the mammals and now the mammals have factory farmed them in the most brutal fashion possible. I really doubt it but I wonder if somehow we mess as humans mess up so bad or something happens that allows a new species to dominate again even if not intellectual but just physically.

    Their rule was so administratively superior that they did not need to have any physical records of anything they did, thus baffling archaeologists, accountants and managers worldwide
