I have to say, humans never cease to amaze me with what they can think up. Sometimes, though, certain things seem to be a bit too well thought up to be fairy tales. And, these things/creatures, tend to be brought up in many different parts of the world at different times in history. Who can explain exactly how this happens, and how it can come to be that two completely different places with no contact between them can have such simular stories, if they are not based, at least partially, on something real?
For example. Dragons. China has had their dragons for thousands of years. Europeans have had dragons for almost as long. These are dating back far before there were open trade routes between china and europe, and I find it hard to believe that single people would be able to bring back such tales as to have the stories spread so far and wide. Is there any possibility that giant lizzards (GIANT!) existed, or were they like monitor lizzards, only exaggerated? What is your opinion?
