- Schlagbohrer 2mo agoI assume the global mythology around dragons comes from finding dinosaur bones
- s1artibartfast 2mo agoSeems like many bones would do. Whales would be a lot more common i imagine.
- lesostep 2mo agoWell, eastern dragons always reminded me more of a giant oarfish. And some central europe dragons weren't that far off, being described as flying snakes. I think "every culture has a dragon" is kinda misleading. "Every culture has a creature that got translated as a dragon" seems closer to the truth. The creatures themselves have a great variety between them.
