Any mythology must at some point in time be rooted in something that actually exists in the world.

Thank You for this video, I have enjoyed learning from it. The Cherokee have many dragon stories as well, it is called an uktena and in the middle of its head is a crystal. Indv is for snake and sometimes is used interchangeably. Many of the stories indicate that should an uktena be seen swimming in the sky or water it, means that something bad is about to happen. The person(s) who see the uktena usually die. Another story says that should someone succeed in acquiring the crystal from the dragon, they will gain various magical powers. There is one story where the rabbit challenges the dragon to change it form, it finally does and changes into the dragon fly. It tries to change back to its original form and cannot. The dragon became what is known as the snake/dragon doctor.

It's weird, but you can actively look at several tribes around the Great Lakes & artifacts/ pictographs across a long time & actively see them create their own dragon concept right in front of you. They basically combined a snake monster with horns & a wildcat monster & essentially got a dragon. Both were associated with water & the written legends of different tribes across the region would flip flop between all three versions for the exact same being, even up to the present day.

Rewarding to finally see a quality dragon-documentary on KZread.

I was thinking about this last night. Before watching, my theories is that it has at least a couple layers: there's the dinosaur bones stuff, the sea serpents possibility (as seen with the kraken/giant squid), some association of the dragon as the devil, a representation of certain 'myth' civilizations (the serpent as a sacred symbol of knowledge, like in the greek emblem of medicine), and, lastly but definitely not least, the dragon/serpent as a symbol of a plasma event (see Thunderbolts Project)

That was a damn good doc. Definitely one of the best on dragons and mythology in general 👌 👍

I've seen so many videos on this subject, but yours is exactly what I was looking for. The way the myths and etymology of all the different cultures relate to each other. Dragons aside, it is fascinating, how it suggests that our myths and religions have a common ancestor. The idea that civilization migrated east, rather than from east, can even indicate a connection to Atlantis. Some people believe, that the survivors of Atlantis came to Ireland, where they became known as the druids, which then lead to the spread of civilization throughout Europe.

A wonderful video and thank you for putting this together! I'm personally sympathetic to the Jungian/mystic concept of the dragon as the all-encompasing aspect of the ego and how it is necessary to keep the psyche together and guard the true/original self of an individual (i.e. the gold/treasure), but it can get lost in its guardian role and become a tyrant (the illusion of ego-as-self being represented by the serpent/dragon eating its own tail). As such, the hero (self in the present) has to 'slay' or subdue the ego-self to return back to who that individual truly is and remind their dragon (ego) of its original function and purpose :)

I’ve been wondering if the myths that started over 6000 years ago (maybe even older), if people stumbled across dinosaur bones, not knowing what they were; some lizard like, some with wings, others with tremendous rib cages and tails making them longer than several buses. What would early humans have conjured up in their heads after stumbling across the skull of a T-Rex with all those nasty teeth?

Look into it. Knowing that everything else we've been told was a lie why would it be that hard to believe that dragons were real instead of "dinosaur"

we Brits have the Lambton Worm a myth from Durham in the East of England which goes as follows: John Lambton does not catch anything until the church service finishes, at which point he fishes out a small eel- or lamprey-like creature with nine holes on each side of its salamander-like head. Depending on the version of the story, the worm is no bigger than a thumb, or about 3 feet long. In some renditions it has legs, while in others it is said to more closely resemble a snake. At this point, the old man returns, although in some versions it is a different character. John declares that he has caught the deviland decides to dispose of his catch by discarding it down a nearby well. The old man then issues further warnings about the nature of the beast. John then forgets about the creature and eventually grows up. As a penance for his rebellious early years, he joins the crusades. Eventually, the worm grows extremely large and the well becomes poisonous. The villagers start to notice livestock going missing and discover that the fully-grown worm has emerged from the well and coiled itself around a local hill. In some versions of the story, the hill is Penshaw Hill, that on which the Penshaw Monument now stands, but locally the credit goes to the nearby Worm Hill, inFatfield. In most versions of the story, the worm is large enough to wrap itself around the hill seven times. It is said that one can still see the marks of the worm on Worm Hill. The worm terrorises the nearby villages, eating sheep, preventing cows from producing milk and snatching away small children. It then heads towards Lambton Castle, where the Lord (John Lambton's aged father) manages to sedate the creature in what becomes a daily ritual of offering the worm the milk of nine good cows, twenty gallons, or a filled wooden/stone trough. A number of brave villagers try to kill the beast, but are quickly dispatched. When a chunk is cut off the worm, it simply reattaches the missing piece. Visiting knights also try to assault the beast, but none survives. When annoyed, the worm would uproot trees by coiling its tail around them. It then created devastation by waving around the uprooted trees like a club. The story is set (apparently) in AD 1200-1300 After seven years, John Lambton returns from the crusade to find his father's estates almost destitute because of the worm. John decides to fight it, but first seeks the guidance of a wise woman or witch near Durham. The witch hardens John's resolve to kill the beast by explaining his responsibility for the worm. She tells him to cover his armour in spearheads and fight the worm in the River Wear, where it now spends its days wrapped around a great rock. The witch also tells John that after killing the worm he must then kill the first living thing he sees, or else his family will be cursed for nine generations and will not die in their beds. John prepares his armour according to the witch's instructions and arranges with his father that, when he has killed the worm, he will sound his hunting horn three times. On this signal, his father is to release his favourite hound so that it will run to John, who can then kill the dog and thus avoid the curse. John Lambton then fights the worm by the river. The worm tries to crush him, wrapping him in its coils, but it cuts itself on his armour's spikes. As pieces of the worm are chopped off, they are washed away by the river, preventing the worm from healing itself. Eventually, the worm is dead and John sounds his hunting horn three times. Unfortunately, John's father is so excited that the beast is dead that he forgets to release the hound and rushes out to congratulate his son. John cannot bear to kill his father and so, after they meet, the hound is released and dutifully dispatched. But it is too late and nine generations of Lambtons are cursed so they shall not die peacefully in their beds. That is how the story ends.

I'm firmly convinced that the dragon has roots with the draco constellation as a symbol of the hidden dangers and cycles of nature. Jörmungandr encircles and gnaws on the roots of yggdrasill the same way that Draco sits in the middle of the equinox cycle. Dragons guarding hoardes of gold refers to the countless treasures lost to floods, fires and larger cataclysms. Regular occurrences of comet trails and it's explosions would serve as a constant reminder of the ancient dragon that ended the ice age, preventing myths from changing too much in symbology across the world due to being based on recurring phenomena.

Character development

Personally I have a feeling that the dragon is, at least partly some kind of representation of elements of masculinity. In most of the dragon slaying stories I can easily see them as "the noble masculine force conquers the tyrannical masculine force", either externally or as an internal process. In a number of these stories, the dragon submits, or is bound by the hero, which to me sounds a lot like an internal, noble battle where a man makes his darker aspects submit to his "higher ideal". I think the story at 38:48 shows this wonderfully. He forces the dragon to submit and then wears it for protection. What else is a man doing when he encounters his capacity for violence and destruction, but then trains and disciplines himself? It's the same thing. I'm not suggesting my interpretations there are strictly correct; but I am confident in saying that if one tries to find strictly "grounded" (oh, they found some dinosaur fossils) interpretations to myth, you will never really get anywhere. Myth that lasts so long resonates deeply with some core element of a people across time.

Reptiles are to my mind contenders for the origin of dragons. Apart from snakes, we have lizards, some of which are referred to as dragon lizards, and can account for a dragon's scales. But an interesting one is whether the lion could be involved. If one has a look at the Cymru flag and it's dragon, and compares it with the Scottish Lion and the Eleanor of Aquitaine Lion insignia, one can note the similarities. Maybe St George's dragon was actually a lion. Lions have claws like a dragon; and if you get close enough to it's mouth, the hot breath will seem like it's breathing fire; further the leap of a lion can seem like the beast is flying towards it's prey (hence the concept of wings); and when St George slew the dragon, maybe he slew a lion. Food for thought.

Really love your content. Keep it up mo chara. 😊

Regarding, date of Rigveda I just want to add that as per recent discovery of existence dried of river of swaraswati ( previously considered to be mythical) and other archaeological finds, the new theory regarding that Rig veda is much older is gaining strength there by making Indo-european culture much older. Rig Veda describes Swaraswati in details and Swaraswati River dried up hundreds of years before 1600 BC.

really nicely researched and liked the subtle use of alpha and omega at times.

So Tien Long is associated with Draco, where the great unblinking cats eye nebula is. Drako can also be seen as "watcher", "one who sees" like an igigi, in a sense. Is this the same channel that pointed out that YHWH has draconic influences? Apsu and Tiamat are consort dragons, I've heard, just like Fuxi and Nu Wa. It makes a lot of sense that the term dragon derives from a word for snake. The serpent was associated with immortality in both the Sumerian and Greek versions of the myth.

26:00 - the figure with the serpent coming from his shoulders also corresponds with "Zahhak" of Iran, and there is a Eastern European/Russian variation, connected to Baba Yaga (her apparent son) but his name escapes me.. begins with a "K" I believe. (Not sure if you cover them, only have gotten as far as this point) I think this figure ties to Liber-Dionysus and his Babylonian counterpart Ningishizda. (I think Bacchus was Selinus) Baba Yaga potentially connected to Hectate, and associated with the maiden, the mother and the crone. And Hermes, being extracted from Babylon as Nabu, is stated to have serpents growing from his shoulders in some renditions. I think the "Serpent" represents the "rebels", a crest and iconography/symbol. Many forms of fiction depict Hermes as subservient to Zeus, but I don't think that was the case. I think there was a divide between followers of Enlil and Enki, and Hermes/Nabu/Thoth/Lugh was on team Enki.

@@thatguyharambe8757 yes that is what I am alluding too. Depictions of Gods/beings with wings or feathered is related to Shamanic practices, with out of body astral travelling, or your soul leaving the physical body is depicted as bird like. Your spirit form shown as winged, and bird like.

Seems true, as such a meaning was later yoinked by Christianity to portray Angels as winged, being able to traverse spiritual realms, and thus by Demons (fallen Angels) having impotent wings incapable of flight suggesting being bound to one realm. Fascinating comment, best one I've read so far.

You're voice alone is worth listening to, however the research is outstanding! Thank you, Sir

What a rad channel - thanks for this.

Cannot wait! So pumped!

I am someone who enjoys the different folklore of dragons and have a Chinese Water Dragon tattooed from just above my elbow winding up and around my shoulder with the head on my chest. On my other arm same location and size is Koi fish swimming and a Lotus blossom. I'm surprised that you didn't mention the tie between the dragon and Koi in Asian folklore about the Koi having to swim upstream as the Salmon does and the struggles it endures to reach its final destination and the Koi finds himself at the Dragon's Gate, a waterfall that the Koi must swim up into the waterfall as his last and most difficult task and when he does conquer the waterfall it ooens into a beautiful lake and the Koi can finally die in the place of his birth. But from the death of the mighty Koi and his battles is rewarded by reincarnation as a water dragon who flies out of the lake with friction fire flowing from his legs joints and he flies among the countryside spreading wealth, health and prosperity among the local towns and villages. I have to question the dragon mythology and ask if there has to be something somewhere that proves dragons existed. The fact that in every part of the world throughout the existence of man, no matter their beliefs, religions, whether they lived inland, mountains, lakes, rivers, oceans, deserts, forests, were farmers, hunters, fisherman, everyone has dragon stories, similar or exactly same names although different languages from different parts of the world. There must be some actual dragons that roamed the Earth, crawling, swimming, and flying. Whether spitting poison or breathing fire. The common themes and descriptions are just too similar to be coincidence. Besides, there are no such things as coincidences. Everything happens for a reason.

excellent stuff, thank you.

Good job on this one bro

Beautiful work my friend, thank You very much :-)

My favorite uploader has once again appeared! You and survive the jive are my favorite history uploaders, because you focus on European history, even though this ridiculous taboo exists surrounding it

Excellent work!

Another absolutely stunning and spellbinding story! Thank you so very much from Giuseppe in Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦❤🌹😊

I appreciate ur videos so much, they're greatly improving too, thank you!

While I don't agree with some of the information (associating Tiamat with Info European mythology but), I'm a huge dragon girl so I love the video in general!

Very entertaining, realy enjoyable well made docu

I would suspect the flowing and winding of rivers aligned with the imagery of snakes, combined with the flash floods that rush down mountainsides after a storm. giving them the water/river/storm association.

Man I love your channel. Dragon blood runs through my veins.

the term "dragon" does indeed mean "to stare", but it also means "serpent" or "giant seafish" and it also means "huge serpent" in other Latin. thought i might throw in some more details. wikipedia may not be reliable, but it's the best we've got. 3:09 i remember reading somewhere that the Emperor of China had a snake on his banner; but added parts of other animals as he conquered other places (they had animals on their banners, too), creating the eastern dragon.

Very nicely done sir! Two things I would like to mention: Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory and Uther's shape-shifting. I believe that the first could help explain the similarities of the myths. As form Uther, was his shape shifting not a result of the Merlin's magic? Peace and roses, Deb the TN Scary Lady

His shapeshifting as a result of Merlin seems to be a later idea. The earliest poem about him is from Taliesin, and it is clear there that he has magical abilities

Dragons being a real creature is the simplest answer. Modern humans think they know all things that have ever existed, but that cannot possibly be true.

Nice! Well done.

I'm glad you addressed the complete gap between Sumerian and the sematic languages at the time! There's theories that I find most fascinating that the Sumerians were a people living in the Red Sea area that were displaced by the great ice melt at the end of the younger dryas therefore giving rise to their story of the great flood that for them was very real sending them north bound out of those valleys and meeting up with the sematic speaking peoples moving south from the Taurus Mountains right around the time they show up on the archaeological scene ~5000BC

Lightning, long and serpentine, roaring from the clouds, dancing back into them or lancing down and striking with fire. It heralds storms, would be seen almost anytime a water spout appears, can be revered or feared. Sometimes with many heads, sometimes with one.

I wonder if the fiery dragon getting slain releasing the waters corresponds to the Younger Dryas Impact event and the glaciers giving way after these fiery comets hit the ice packs causing oceans to rise and villages around the world being swallowed by the sea?

woooow thanks so much for this!

"Canst thou restrain the sweet influences of the Pleiades, ..." The Mesoamericans had the feathered serpent and the Pleiades as a rattle snake associated with the number seven. In Gobekli Tepe one of the central figures stands on seven birds of the Pleiades and holds a dragon or fire fox. The flying serpents and dragons are all about the comet and superbolides of the Taurid Stream which seems to emanate from the Pleiades within the Taurus Constellation. The sky was known as the waters and this natural phenomena comes from the deep ocean and circles around. Compare the 2013 Russian meteor with two smoking vortices to the two Chinese dragons chasing a bright pearl. See my work if incredulous.

I never thought of associating dragons with the pleiades

I wonder if an event such happened in Siberia a few years ago when a large meteor or small asteroid crossed the sky on fire with terrible noise had an influence on dragon myths. Surely such events happened all over the world in prehistoric times.

WOW ! It was so interesting ! It's amazing to see there are dragons all around the world. I would noy have thought there would be similarities between japenese and celtics dragons ! Thanks you so much for that video !

I love Dragons as close ally and friend

Well done, thanks.

WONDERFUL NARRATIVE.... BEST INFO ON DRAGONS I'VE HEARD... AND I'M OLD LMAO !! thanks so much.

Nice Skyrim footage! 🐉

Many blessings people . Love this video .

Sir, I anxiously await your deep dive into the Mesopotamian overlap… In an effort to help, there is a primary source tablet on Lilu that describes a tree, a bird, and a serpent… How is it that a primary source Mesopotamia tablet is describing Yggdrasil the world tree?

Instant like and subscribe from me. I love these topics, I research them heavily. I even watch Jackson Crawford for Old Norse language and myth. I'm really enjoying this, just wanted to say thanks for your work, I'm going to post this in my group where I talk about dragons all the time...

Since you love "Dragon Topics & Research them Extensively," may I present "Mudfossil University" to you, (to which I am subscribed) Roger Spurr is the host of this "KZread Channel" there are remains of "Giants & Dragons" all over "The World" the largest of the Dragons is one laying on the surface (desert) of Morocco stretches almost "West to East Coast" around 1000miles. When this thing was alive it could block out "The Sun" it's depicted killing a "Giant Fish" both have been long dead for centuries, interesting channel and information, try it out you'll find it like myself unbelievably great

Adam means "neck." I have been binge watching your channel. I really enjoy your content.

14:50 Xenogears music playing while you're speaking about dragons. Makes me wish to see a story mixing dragons with Xenogears.

Thank you!!! Um... if I may... rabbit holes are awesome. So.. I would be up for all of it! 😁
