this is a sculpture in scotland made 1500 years ago by scotsman indicating a beast in the loch

Looks like an alligator to me.

They also say it looks like the chupacabra. I don't recall anyone knowing exactly what a chupa looks like..

Well, it does have the 'horse head' often described being on Nessie. Other than that, I suspect it's just a fanciful depiction of some animal or mythological beast. They weren't too bothered by accuracy; People knew what the artist was talking about then, so the artist's work was accomplished. The thought that we'd be arguing over this 1500 years later by pushing buttons and looking at a glowing box would have blown the poor guy's mind.

Read down, "The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of St. Columba by Adamnan in the year 565 AD. The monster apparently attacked and killed a man who was swimming in the River Ness."

That's right about 1500 years ago. Assuming this is the first recorded sighting, I'd be willing to bet there were more before that too.

It is a shame that the legends of the Picts are forgotten. They probably had many tales of the creature. There was a stone with the creature that was supposed to have been carved by them wasn't there?

Lapi'che

El Chupacabra is small i thought.. and your right, it looks like a alligator lol.

That could just as easily be any representation of a "dragon" as these creatures were believed in by mankind since the dawn of civilization. Virtually all legendary dragons, even flying ones are connected with watery places as well, and virtually every deep body of water in Scotland, and virtually every else also had its dragon/monster legends and modern sightings.

Unless the stone actually had an insription to specifically say it was the specific "dragon" of Loch Ness, there is no way to confirm it represents this creature.

It just seems you like to add you're dragon theory to most anything on these boards. You could put all kind of evidence up!
But, this still does not make all these myths/legends dragons, It's just you're opinion.

It has a horse head but looks kind of like an alligator..

Looks like a long-faced baboon to me. I love how people associate a concept with ancient architecture, and damn those old, dead people who never seem to make an exact representation of something because things always look super distorted!

I wish the picture wasn't cropped so tightly, it's easier to interpret things when they come with the context intact.
