i have so many questions!

everything that happened has happened before

If you want, but more likely it was just “I want to draw/paint a winged unicorn skeleton” and they either meant to cover it up later but forgot, or they wanted to see if anyone would notice.
 
It’s also possible that they found skeletal remains that resembled alicorns, but were incomplete, so the scientific community theorized what the missing parts would look like based on the closest relatives available for whom the appearance/structure of those parts was known (again, like tyrannosaur arms) or other clues (if they found Tempest’s skull, the obvious breakage would tell them that the stump wasn’t her natural state and she once had a full horn).
 
 
@IceKitsune  
Or it could be an alternate timeline or distant future where sapient ponies either evolved into rainbow-colored humans (weird as that might be), or the change was made via some sort of magic long since lost.

@Scrounge
 
So somewhere in the EQG universe there’s an artist having Lovecraftian dreams or delusions of magical ponies, and has created images based on what he saw?

@Animanga21  
True, but it’s unlikely to be a photo of the actual ground, given the technical difficulties getting such a shot would involve (among other things), meaning the two complete skeletons shown aren’t necessarily indicative of complete skeletons that have been found. The first Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons were discovered around the turn of the century (1900s), but it took until 1989 for the first complete T. rex arms were found and identified. So even if there’s no errors or intentional artistic embellishment, some of it may still be theoretical.
 
(Or it could just be an easter egg, but where’s the fun in that?)
 
 
@CoyoteCrow4  
That would explain why we never see a human Sunset.

@Scrounge  
A little, but it’s still a picture in a museum, suggesting that bones like that have been found somewhere in the world at some point.

Yeah, the thing is…
 

 
…The picture frame changes the context a little bit.

oh frak they’re all a bunch of toasters
 
@EyeGuy  
Lemme guess: Starlight?  
That would be a bloody brilliant Series Finale.
 
…Come to think of it, has anyone done a GIF/video of Twilight and Spike getting zapped back to the future by Starlight where it’s spliced with them appearing in Monkeyworld from the first Equestria Girls movie?

Each tribe would eat a magical pony before they procreate, that’s why there’s human versions of each character.

It’s just a gag

@SeraphimDawn  
Being Immortal does not mean that one is invincible. I mean Wolverine is effectively immortal with his regenerative powers but can be killed if blown up hard enough or by decapitation (IIRC anyway) or with a special sword.

This also implies that alicorns CAN in fact die…

@Background Pony #0652
 
Looks more like Luna’s proportions to me. Or maybe Cadance if you squint at it.

So the mirror is a time machine instead of a magic portal?

Nice to Celestia getting some screen time.

So then the Canterlot Seven aren’t alternate universe versions but more like… reincarnations? Sunnybuns being the odd one out, of course.

@IceKitsune  
considering the size of it, i would go with it being a pre sapient creature.
 
but mostly its jsut a gag XD

Possible, but I doubt it.

Or it could be just a gag put in there by the animators, just saying.

This can’t be right.
