Um I'm not really vested in this, but what stick? You mean the clear as day tail with the completely obvious stupid tail scale bumps along it?

I'm going with a long-range feather tickler--he's probably on his way to Tickle Town to participate in the Ticklefest. (I see feathers, not flames, on the end of it)
Of course, it could be anything (especially since, if you actually look at it, it appears to be its tail)--neither you nor I know for certain. But, while I was being facetious (or "feces-ish," as I like to pronounce it), it really does perplex me that you always think you are 100% correct all of the time, and in such an arrogant way. Why do you do that? It's quite unnecessary on this thread, and quite frankly, on this site.
No, I just know that tail isn't an oar

A self proclaimed d-bag should understand why nobody wants to discuss the fine points of history and the relics which tell the stories from the past with him. You might be right, but you would need to bring sources to back it up. D-bagging makes nobody care about what you are saying.
You are debunking claims which aren't even being made. If you were really interested in this stuff, you would know that there is a vast history of cultures who describe a feathered serpent who changed the course of humanity. Whether that is consistant with what we know about the world today is irrelevant. The stories are there.
Lizardman and his Flying Machine

But please don't confuse someone like me with the other people who claim to be something else....I am a straight shooter and will tell you how I see it, nothing more!
That thing (you guys call the lizard mans tail) ...
Sorry but that is exactly how I see this and if I am not right, I would gladly admit it....

These relics are depicting Quetzalcoatl.
en.m.wikipedia.org...
A very rich and colorful mythology of a feathered serpent god, Who taught the south american ancients about societal concepts. There are thousands of carvings also depicting him in several dif forms, including a dragon, an alligator, half lizard man, and a glowing white man. You should familiarize yourself with the myth before trying to debunk it.
Also depicted in many carvings is his flying machine. It is part of the story.
In addition to his guise as a plumed serpent, Quetzalcóatl was often represented as a man with a beard, and, as Ehécatl, the wind god, he was shown with a mask with two protruding tubes (through which the wind blew) and a conical hat typical of the Huastec people of east-central Mexico.
I'll read all of your posts in an Elmo voice and see if that helps

I think you're right that's probably Quetzcoatl aboard his flying machine, in the first example feathers can be seen on the arms, the aerodynamics reminded me of the gliding methods of flying Lizards and squirrels and such forth, that and the feathers made it obvious as a flying machine.

Yes i guess that's his tail.

Given the absence of rubber, buoyancy, paddle, water...i don't think so.
Quetzalcóatl ruled over the days that bore the name ehécatl (“wind”) and over the 18th 13-day series of the ritual calendar

Very similar to the stories we find from Sumer.
