Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs were hunted to extinction during the ice age. Their meat lasted for generations and thus, farming was born. Humans were able to eventually reproduce comfortably and in large numbers while all that was left were small, relatively uninteresting specimens. There were legendary hunters in those days. Giant killers. Men of renown. The skill of destruction was prized above all else. The technology involved was at its peak. Civilization was built around the value of meat. Great chefs were admired and looked upon with awe. Magical. Almost frightening in a way. They were treated like royalty but kept as slaves. A man could be kidnapped for his ability with a barbecue. Massive pits of oil were produced from the cooking that have lasted to this day.
