Well, the home movies Alphys found in Asgore's castle of New Home included a tape of Toriel and Asgore planning to have a baby, presumably Asriel.

Which suggests that Asriel was concieved after the monsters moved to New Home.

Now, by saying that the waterfall statue must have been made after the Barrier, we're making an assumption. The humans pushed the monsters into the Underground realm before casting the Barrier.. which would mean that there must have been an opening to the Underground at that point.

Of all the places to seal the monsters, why pick the Underground? Why give them such a huge underworld lair with diverse climates that could accomidate every type of monster? Seems rather nice of the humans to give the monsters so much space to live.

Gerson remembers when the Barrier was cast. But Undyne says that the origin of the waterfall statue was lost to time. If Gerson remembers all monster history since the barrier, shouldn't he also recall the origin of this statue?

This amazing underground realm may have existed long before the Barrier. And while the waterfall glyphs do mention the Barrier, they don't mention this particular statue. It may have predated the arrival of the monsters themselves.
