Think about anything prehistoric, giant Lizards like megalania, awesome, massive arthropods like meganura, Arthroplura, and massive scorpions, nature likes to make everything prehistoric giant, want giant birds in real life, the largest one was argentavis, a Titan, or want a bigger albatross, pslegornis, want a giant fish, leedsichthees, giant animals are awesome, and they exist to, or at least they did before they all went extinct, but any animal made bigger is cooler.

Not all stories from the 1,001 Arabian Nights were apart of the original. The french decided to combine other found books in the Middle East since most of the stories from the 1,001 are lost. These published stories were a big hit in France, and Frenchmen went on a hunt to find more hidden books/stories to add to the collection.

This is fun, thanks so much. The world has some pretty cool stories, doesn't it.

The thing about snakes IMO is simply that of all the creatures on earth they seen to have a nature very alien to ours. They’re cold blooded, they have no feet or arms, they’re often predatory and even venomous, they swallow things whole without chewing, they sit perfectly still like background objects and don’t have any natural flowiness of movement, etc. We can instinctively see familiarities in many other creatures, that despite their strange nature we identify with. Mammals are the best example but even many reptiles at least have arms legs toes, and such. Even bugs at least have limbs. Either that or maybe the Devil really became a serpent at some point and we just happen to still hold a grudge!

very nice

The thing about giant birds is fascinating. I mean, in many places there actually did use to be huge birds that some time or other coincided with humans (moas...) , and early hominids were prey to others (Turkana Boy...). But somehow it makes me think that, knowing dinosaur fossils but not evolution and unable to reconstruct dinosaurs from them, people nevertheless saw a connection.
