Since I've been working on a revision of our John Hammond article, I felt I should make this topic.

One day I read on JPLegacy that there was a panel in Jurassic World that said that Hammond was born in the year 1913 instead of 1928, which is the date the Masrani backdoor gives. Curious and wanting to see if this was true, I did some research and found an image on the "Google Photos" section of JurassicWorld.com. It is of the Innovation Center's poster about the timeline of neopaleontology and sure enough it lists Hammond's birth year as 1913 as you can see in the photo to your right.

I personally believe this date to be false as in the section about Hammond it claims that he was the "creator of Isla Nublar" and that "[Hammond] spared no expense to bring Jurassic World to life." This really reminds me of the claim on JurassicWorld.com that the Pterosauria: The IMAX Experience is so loud that it attracts male Tyrannosaurs, a claim that appears rather sensationalist given the evidence we have that shows no signs of male T. rex ever being on Nublar. Plus, InGen's been known to lie and keep things hidden from the public. Like how Dr. Wu kept many of the animals used in Indominus a secret or how InGen tried to cover up the deaths of the 1993 incident. They could have easily made a fraudulent year of birth for some strange nefarious reason, probably because of his involvement with Jurassic Park since the Masrani backdoor says the year "1993" has restricted information and the poster that says he was born in 1913 omits his involvement with the first park.

So does anyone want to share their thoughts on this?
