Speaking of Temples With Images of Dinosaurs Carved in Stone

In the comments of this post on Cryptomundo, In Search of Living Dinosaurs, the following was mentioned:

There are also temples in Asia that depict dinosaurs carved into the stone and pillars that match scientific drawings of what dinosaurs actually looked like. How can they be so accurate?
