Dragons of Mythology | Fire Breathers & Wise Serpents

In every mythology of every culture on earth, there exists a story of a dragon. They all bear unifying traits, yet no two are exactly alike in either appearance nor behavior. Some are winged fiends that breathe fire or venom, such as the Wyvern or Cockatrice. Some are serpentine beings filled with wisdom such as the Chinese Lung. Some are seen as gods or demons, while others are large enough to fit the whole of the earth in their coils. This program will detail a handful of the most famous and most magnificent dragons of myth and legend!

    Thank you for the early birthday gift. After all, tomorrow is my big day - the day I turn 21. I adore the cockatrice the most. I found it not only bizarre and deadly, but I found it fascinating and beautiful. Thanks to you, I learned some new dragons as well and revisiting the cockatrice and Beowulf’s dragons. The Western Dragon, doesn’t matter the subspecies of them, has been a part of my Celtic, Nordic, and Anglo-Saxon ancestry. Keep up the good work! Hope to see another video of yours next week!

    What I don't understand is that why both European and Chinese dragons are called and translated "dragons" ("Long" translates into dragon in Chinese, which is also used to call the European dragons in China) in both languages? They are two completely different creatures apart from flying and fire breathing, that look or represent nothing alike. If this was a one-way translation error (a language simply translating a word into something similar enough to the translator) it would make sense, but the fact that this occurs both ways despite of the total difference of the two seems so amazingly unlikely and yet it is how we translate them. Anyone knows more about this?

    Is it just me or can we maybe sympathize a little bit with the Wyvern or the Lambton Worm? I mean, on one hand I get that they grew to be destructive in their respective environments, but on the other hand, their stories are pretty sad. I especially feel for the Wyvern, who was raised by a young girl when it was a baby and then it ended up being slain by a knight when it was an adult, basically for being a wild animal in a domesticated environment. Poor thing. 😔 And the Lambton Worm? Well gee, if I was a small animal just minding my own business in a pond and was suddenly caught on someone's nasty fish hook and then tossed down a well, I'd be pretty pissed off, too. 😅

    Guys! Im guessing we are all here because we LOVE dragons! I have recently made a discovery that sounds so ridiculous when I explain it I would call myself a crazy person if I heard what Im about to say. But we all grew up with the tales of old/ Dragons, giants, beasts of unimaginable proportions. LEGENDS! We have all asked the question at some stage I would imagine. If they were real where is the proof? The answer is, they are literally EVERYWHERE. The problem is once you see them youre going to try to say its bullshit. But, I only ask that when I tell you where some of these now dead legendary animals are, I ask that you dont just look at the shapes. Please zoom in and examine the details. There is still visible bone structure that hasnt degraded yet. One of these animals is Leviathan. Measuring 14500 kilometers in length with a head over 1000 kilometers high. These measurements were done using google earth. His Head starts beside Wake Island Just below hawaii you will see his skeletal remains just laying there beneath the sedimentary ocean floor is the resting place of the leviathan. Zoom in closely, look at the spine still intact and the fins are 100 kilometers in length alone! The Kraken is laying next to Leviathan. The Continent of Australia is the resting place of the Kraken. It IS the Kraken. Again Look closely zoom in and you can perfectly preserved details of tentacles all connected to the main continent and you can even follow the tentacles to the very tips and they match EXACTLY with living specimens today! The truth IS out there. :) seriously you owe it to yourselves. . The ancient Scandinavian lore says it was so large it could cover continents. I live in new zealand. New Zealand is Part is a tentacle. There are some "calcified concretions" scientists have said formed randomly perfect however if you examine the landscape these Moeraki Boulders are not what they are said to be. They are cephalopod remains. Specifically the acetabulum which is the round muscle that controls the suckers on the tentacle. These monsters are every where. The Hafgufa a giant fish Thor embattled. The body is Novaya Zemlya. Look at the details of the landscape as you would a small fossil through a microscope. there are veins, flesh fins and even the tail crosses over tot he mainland of northern Russia. It is also the Giant fish with an island on its back that is mentioned in the story of St brendan holding a sermon on the back of this fish. Remember these are fossils, and this explains why we think they are myths now. But theyre there.
