We do now know that dinosaurs were the forbearers of birds. Those that told us they were reptiles still continue to push that however. They were warm blooded and it is now thought they had some sort of pre feathers.

I believe the same thing applies to archeology, The Experts claim to have an answer to every question and impute things on the ancient cultures that they have no way of knowing.

The Experts claim to have an answer to every question

That's not my experience at all. "The Experts" are extraordinarily cautious to make assertions even when they're well supported. They talk about "models" and are happy to revise and update their positions when contrary evidence emerges.

Pseudo scientists have answers for everything.

At every period of human history experts have claimed to have all of the answers to every question. They've never been right about that but people assume now they are. Dinosaurs are a case in point, as egypt, peru, et al are.

This is straight from the Pseudo Scientist playbook, well established Graham Hancock shtick.
