1841 is when the word "dinosaur" was invented to describe all the fossils discovered. Prior to 1841, they were always called "dragons" worldwide. Dragons were mentioned by Marco Polo (late 1200s AD), Herodotus (400s BC), and book of Job (Job 40:15-24) as the "Behemoth" and (Job 41:1-11) as the "Leviathan" as dwelling with humans. Polo claims China emperor had a "dragon" pulling his chariots. Herodotus refers to flying dragons with 'bat-like' wings who lives in caves of India and 'pestered the elephants'.
@@clublouie Glad I'm not only one who heard about this. Scientist Sir Richard Owen is guy who invented the word "dinosaur" in 1841.

Recent discovery of intact mammoths and soft tissue of dinos kinda adds insult to the 'millions of yrs ago' version of story.
It's like the word unicorn that was used to describe a one horned rhino in the 19th century it is found in the dictionary of that era. There was also bicornus or something I believe for 2 horned rhino. There are also old drawings of dinosaurs found in Peru which are the exact same as we believe them to have looked

Just after the turn of the century, at the beginning of the 1900s, a genealogy survey was being conducted in Wales. In one region, all of the oldest residents, related stories of the dragons which were native to the area, when they were all still young children. They described them as being covered in reflective scales, which gave them a shimmering jeweled appearance, of shifting, refracted, colors. Approximately eight, to ten, feet long (including the tail), with a six, or eight, foot wingspan. They said that they mostly just glided, from tree to tree, as they flew. They did not spit any fire, or venom. Basically harmless to humans, they equated them to being a damn nuisance predator, like a fox. Routinely killing chickens, and attacking new lambs. The local people there didn't recognize them as being anything extraordinary. They viewed them as a threat to property, which needed to be eliminated. The story goes, that they were basically hunted into extinction by the local farmers. They were easy to kill, and apparently couldn't replenish their population faster than they were being exterminated. I've often wondered if this story was true, and if so... how very sad.
There are 4 foot long gliding snakes so if that was true it was either they saying that one of these gliding snakes were larger than they really are or it’s a undiscovered snake but unlikely. Assuming your telling the truth.
That is one of the most annoying facts about so called mythical creatures. Some of them were real. Humans were annoyed or frightened. Humans killed them. Then got the nerve to say that the creatures never even existed.

@@jontraz5993pssssh I don’t know what you’re talking about. I only see “were dragons real?”. It’d be best not to imagine such a grammatically incorrect sentence.
That lends to the fact that it's only a story rather than real animal. Most likely through trade routes these stories would spread. Rather than specific traits being different (such as wing shape, size, and color) but instead it's stuff that's specific to the culture
@@Hu54644 The word Dragon original meaning was snake. The defiinition oof snake at that time in today terms meant reptile. As time progressed the word for snake was replace and the word Dragon started to mean giant reptile ( and by giant I would say it meant a reptile that could be a danger to a 12 years old child) . This meaning remained more or less the same until around 1400 AD . In the late medieval age with the advent of hieraldics and embelished stories from people that never saw a dragon dragons started to combine and get supernatural powers. As a note the standard dragon would have 1-3 heads most ( unless it was a moral story never meant to be literal) and if it couls spit anything it was poison . The cases where dragons could spit fire are extremely rare and with the except of the Leviathan most probably just spit something that could easily catch fire not fire itself ( and considering the lighting was done by torches...). About flight some dragons could fly but they were described either not having any limbs apart from wings ( which is unrealistic) or gaving only 2 extra limbs ( what we would call a wyvern - and darwinists probably would call a pterodactyl) . The six limbs dragons only started appearing again during the medieval time around 14 century. By the pre-medieval definition some crocodiles and some snakes ( like the Anaconda, Python, Boa) can be considered dragons. As a note some dragons had decorations you could say on their heads. This lead to people to say that certain lizards that looked similar but where more smaller could also be considered dragons even in the medieval age. In conclusion even if the term was not very well defined the definition would be a reptile large enough to eat a 12 years old child.
Nah the fire benders wiped them out. Uncle Iroh found the last ones and earned their respect then learned the true form of firebending. He told the fire nation that he killed the dragon so he could protect them
There was a news report in the 1960s about an eagle attacking a small child and trying to fly off carrying the kid but the parents or someone scaring the bird into dropping the child. I think it was in the midwest area of the USA. Also there was a report about a small plane pilot in Alaska saying a bird flew by him and the pilot swore that the bird's wingspan was almost as big as the plane's wingspan.
The lack of fossils could just mean there was only a small population of dragons. How many fossils of galapagos tortoises do you expect will be dug up thousands of years from now?
Paulafan5 not rlly. I mean yes but no. It’s a fantasy show. She’s not takin dudes out 10x her size w her bare hands. Ever hear of David n Goliath? Tiny dude killed a giant dude w a rock.
Herodotus the Greek historian wrote about dragons, flying serpents, some with legs, some without. The apocrypha mentions David killing a dragon. Marco Polo wrote about seeing what we would call a dinosaur. Strabo, another Greek historian wrote about dragons and flying serpents in India. And the Chinese wrote about using dragon blood and bone in certain medicine. Just look up dragons in history and follow the rabbit hole.
About Marco Polo and chinese dragon bones - it's sort of true. Dinosaur fossils were often found in modern northern China and Mongolia since antiquity (at least those finding were written down, older ones should definatelly be done as well, but in that time there were no writting).
@@alexmalyarchuk1723 yup, and what about the Incan burial stones that depict humans riding on dinosaurs. Hundreds of years before the first fossils were ever discovered.
@@southpawhammer8644 not Incan stones, but Ica stones (hence Ica province in Peru). Most of them are fakes, made by Basilio Uschuya in 1960's and later popularised by Javier Cabrera Darquea. Uschuya had admitted, that he made them up. Some are real thing, made by precolombian cultures, but those ones has no pictures of stegosaurus and other "dinosaur pictures".
@Southpaw Hammer Ica stones are not the only fraud of such type. Earlier, in 1945, there was huge shouting about Acambaro statues from Mexico - about 30 thousands of small teracota figures, many resembled non-avian dinosaurs. All of them were "found" by Waldemar Julsrud. In 1960's scientists made final verdict - those figures were made in 1930's, not earlier. So Ica stones were not the first attempt to made name and fortune for "occasional" finders.
Raptors/birds of prey are actually the closest living relatives to dinosaurs. Obviously crocs/gators are real close too but not as close as those types of birds
Eagles are like 10 lbs and can pull goats off cliffs. I can't imagine those goats are less than 40lbs if not twice that much. So a 35lb eagle would be terrifying!
An eagle that just ate 2 lbs of meat won't be able to fly himself，let alone carry a goat while flying. The most you'll get is eagles pushing baby goats off a cliff or falling together with a baby goat
It's actually very creepy though. The burden of proof that these civilizations communicated somehow, or passed down the same stories someway is just too large. Some weird shit happened for sure
@@thegreatfooch Graham Hancock, dude. His stories about exactly about that (and other amazing facts about ancient cultures. If you do not know him, I highly recommends his chats with Joe.
This is actually most likely what happened, and the myth of them breathing fire comes from the pockets of natural gas left from the decomposition coming in contact with their torches.

I read a book that postulated this theory, and the authors added in that the fire-breathing bit was achieved chemically. The caustic liquids were kept in two organs similar to the way a stomach and a gizzard have separate jobs to do within the digestive process. They pointed out that some reptiles spit venom, and dragon fire was a similar adaptation. Once the dragon died, the chemicals also helped dissolve the hollow bone evidence.
Dragons could have been 100% real, maybe not fire breathers but probably acid spitters. A giant flying reptile that could regurgitate acid could have totally been possible
Absolutely reasonable. It only makes sense that it was exaggerated but with basic reason or logic while also giving in to belief you can determine what seems realistic when toned down or what's complete bs. Bigfoot for me is a no. But dragons is a yes because there are more animals that resemble the concept of a dragon. Ie: Eagles and Komoda dragons so years ago I could consider an animal like a dragon but I don't want to believe that some big strong d!ck having ape man is running around in the woods still to this date.
@@stuartlittle69420 yeah bigfoot is definitely not real, there's a lot of conspiracy about a giant humanoid but a lot of it may be from large ape sightings
@@sigmachadtrillioniare6372 true! And the scaly throats probably produced enough friction to cause just a slight enough spark to combust that acid! I mean who knows how these ancient things evolved :0
Joe : its only 40 pounds, thats not that bad Also Joe : Eagles so light and yet so strong well Imagine a 40 pound Eagle then? If a 5 pound Eagle can carry away a 10 pound salmon then a 40 pound Eagle can carry away a 80 pound child in theory....
Not really how physics works. A 40 pound eagle with the same proportions would only be about 3 times the size and be able to carry (as lift is directly to proportional to wing surface area) 30 pounds, so not even able to get off the ground. In order to lift 80 pounds it would need to have a wingspan around 50-60 feet
@@VortexMMA_ My first calculation (the one that couldn't fly) was for an eagle 3 times the size because thats how big a 40 pound eagle would be with the same proportions. Square cube law means increasing size increases the mass exponentially, hence why it needs a ridiculous wing span to lift 80 pounds.
English Dragons and Chinese Dragons are highly unlikely to have existed It is theorised Dragons came from a mixture of our 3 greatest threats back when we were prey Birds Reptiles (snakes mostly) And Leopards When you bring them all together, you get a dragon
Dragons were the ultimate blend of all our Predators. The scales like a Snake, the claws like a big cat, the head like a gator, the wings like a huge bird. If you catch my drift
This actually comes from a book written in the late 90's. The man who wrote the book actually broke down the science, and science after him only tends to support his theory more and more. Few thoughts. Dinosaurs closest relatives are birds, and we are now aware they are all feathered animals. Birds are the ones with hallow bones. He theorized that some species actually do have ventral sacks which operate off of acidic digestive systems. A combination of a ventral sack and hallow bones would allow a larger dinosaur to fly instead of glide. the highly acidic stomach required for a ventral sack also produces a lot of hydrogen. Hydrogen is flamable, and with a mechanism to produce a spark like an eel, could turn them into an effective bire-breather. But yeah... the book was interesting, and it was surprising that the man that wrote it did the math on it. It was a theory to which the author himself didn't seem to portray as a 'belief'. **Edited: Someone revealed the book name: The Flight of Dragons by Peter Dickinson. Just putting this here so people stop asking. Interesting read.
That is so interesting! I thought dinosaurs most closely related animal were crocodiles and lizards, reptiles in general. Amazing your explanation about how it could be possible that they actually spit fire!
@@princessadora Completely incorrect. T-Rex, for instance, closest ancestor is the chicken. A close second is the Ostrich. In fact, most modern paleontologists are certain that almost all dinosaurs were feathered as well. This was first published in SCIENCE magazine in 2008, and is now widely accepted as fact, btw, in the paleontology community. I get it is weird to hear, having seen the same depictions of reptilian dinosaurs for your entire life. In fact the term raptor, means "bird of prey". So many paleontologists believed this was true long before it was proofed (both by fossil record and genetically), and considered fact by everyone. This also makes almost every dinosaur movie you've ever seen, utterly incorrect in the visuals used to portray dinosaurs as reptiles.
the dragon breathing fire is a direct link to the komodo dragon lizards who have so much bacteria in their mouths, that being bitten by one would leave your flesh looking and feeling as if it had been horribly burned
I like to believe dragons may have existed but not in the way we think. It's possible that lizards during ancient times were more massive than crocodiles and komodos. I bet some didn't even fly and some were smaller but with long bodies and hollow bones which helped them glide across the sky giving the illusion that they were flying. It's also possible that these dragons may have been already close to extinction by the time civilizations started writing stories about them.
Why would any of these be truly extinct when the Mokelle M'Kembie (Brontosaurus) is so prevalent to South American Amazon tribes that they see them on an every-other-year basis, get sick, and die when they eat them; my literal SRGT. Slaughter USMC Nam-Vet father said he had seen dinosaurs in the jungle but as a Christian Bible thumper rationalized that therefore, the planet was only several thousand years old not Millions like science says; he was VERY out-dated and narrow-minded Bipolar son of a bitch fool, lord rest his soul.
Never in my life have I considered the possibility of dragons actually existing, but now that I’m thinking about it more…it actually doesn’t sound THAT crazy. Especially considering the depictions of dragons that span across multiple cultures and societies.
Every depiction of a dragon comes from a story, or a myth, why didn't any historian at the time write about this dragons? If you are writing the story of Alexander, (the anabasis of Alexander by Arrian for example) , shouldn't Alexander have encountered dragons more than once? If he did, why not write about it? If it's because there were just another animal at the time, are you telling me that dragons existed and never attacked an army ? And Where are the fossils of dragons? And when and why people stopped thinking that dragons existed if they had to live with them? I don't think that a dragon is a very forgettable creature... And all of this without even mentioning the scientific questions, just the logical ones....
@@Name-cz5jj The Japanese army had to abandon Burma because many soldiers were devoured by crocodiles. That is just the example in the top of my head, if a fucking dragon existed and it's hungry, why not eat some soldiers? And where did he nest? Are you telling me that never s group of soldiers got to close to a dragon nesting zone?
Well consider this. There are almost definitely entire orders of animals completely unknown to science, based on the implied gaps in the fossil record.
Also think about it like this if they did have hollow bones not only would they not fossilize but they would be lighter meaning the possibility of flight was increased. Also It is theorized they did not fart & waste that gas rather save it in their body like another set of lungs & use that methane combined with a spark from them grinding their teeth together to create fire. It is theorized they searched for or a mineral that would cause this spark the same way goats seek out salt
@@geronimogarciazeballos9521 The historian Cassius Dio recorded that the Roman army killed a dragon during the invasion of Carthage and sent the hide to the Roman Senate.
Why does it seem so far-fetched that Dragons actually existed? So many stories, from so many non-connected groups of people, all depicting the same stories... Giants, Dragons, world-wide flood, dinosaurs. All stories told by people on different continents, all unconnected. Seems crazy to doubt.
Lots of people and cultures shared mythos, mermaids are a biggie and many others too. In terms of dragons, I think it's just a case of plenty of animals that look like dragons (from dinosaurs to marine reptile) were found abd people spun their stories. They used to think megladon teeth were the tongues of serpents for example. It's a nice story but I very much doubt fire breathing dragons existed as we know them.
@@fawnieee Mermaids are a relatively modern story. Around 1000 B.C. is the first tale and the stories spread with trade around Asia and Europe. There are Dragon stories from all over the world, long before trade routes reached around the world. The stories from South American Tribes, North American Indians, Europeans, Africans, and Asians, all describe similar beasts that resembled what we now know as dinosaurs.
Jason Dougherty I am willing to admit that a real life dragon is 100% possible knowing how little we actually know about the earth before our dominance. Now it is incredibly hard to believe that they could shoot fire but a real animal is 100% possible. A tiny tiny fraction of animals that have ever existed were actually fossilized. So we know that we are missing a lot of the earths history pertaining to living breathing creatures.
@@fawnieee i saw a theory that explained the fire breathing dilemma. What if it was some sort of venom that when irritated the skin and gave the sensation of burning. After many stories and translations people correlated that to fire.
'Dragons' as a concept isn't that crazy. Some Pterosaurs were the size of a modern day giraffe with massive wings. I believe Quetzalcoatlus was the largest animal to ever fly. Well, according to the fossil record.
The cowned eagle has in recent history killed human children as 7 years. It kills its prey by swooping down and puncturing its throat or skull. I've used them and a few others as the basis for dragons in my writing. Vultures and other similar birds will spit out stomach acid in self defence. And in most cultures I believe dragons would breathe poison gas or spit acid. I also throw in some other creatures as inspiration for dragons like bombardier beetles which kill predators with steam and giant deathstalker scorpions which literally spray their kurtoxin at their targets. And plenty more wildly fantasy sounding animals.
That's some bullcrap man. The Anglosaxons were prehistoric (Mesolithic to Neolithic) unless you mean the medieval ones; in which case why haven't the Romans or Frisians reported terrorbirds?
Jude Rogina a month later when I’m watching this video i am very happy you said that because I noticed that too lol. Sounds like something my dumbass would say
He was saying like an eagle because they say birds such as eagles have hollow like bones so they don't fossilize.. So if dragons did exist they may have had those same types of bones which dont fossilize so we cant have proof of them thru fossils. Yeah man.
we have bombardier beetle, fire/bullet ant, snakes, blood squirting lizards etc. so maybe dragons had something like venom /acid/ etc that gives a burning sensation. So i do agree that there existed dragons. maybe multiple species depending on geology and environment, just like how we have many different sub/species of animals that we have today.
I'm a New Zealander. I live in a small city at the top of the south island called Nelson. I went on a school trip over to the Golden Bay which is a 2.5 hour drive west of Nelson.

There are also fossils of duck-or goose like birds from just before the comet impact. So birds fossils are rare, but they DO happen. And yea this is total bullshit, if you ask me a more likely explanation is that all these cultures have fossil outcrops which include certain species of dinosaur of which the skulls, or other pieces may have inspired these stories....

The “fire” was probably some kind of regurgitated stomach acid that was spit on to people. Food for thought. No pun intended. Lol
That's what I was also thinking, similar to a Komodo but on a much larger scale
The core about the dragon myth is true. Watch the Komodowaran 10 feet and 200lbs (who has the most toxic mouth of all lizards) and imagine there bigger ancestors 30 00 years ago with 900lbs and 20 feet long, that was a dragon without wings.
Or just really bad breath due to bacteria in the mouth that will stop wounds healing if it bites you.
Thought for food... If ur a dragon...
Don't vultures do something like that?
I always figured that the myth of dragons came about because someone found a Dinosaur skull and their imagination went wild.

Just after the turn of the century, at the beginning of the 1900s, a genealogy survey was being conducted in Wales.
In one region, all of the oldest residents, related stories of the dragons which were native to the area, when they were all still young children.
They described them as being covered in reflective scales, which gave them a shimmering jeweled appearance, of shifting, refracted, colors.
Approximately eight, to ten, feet long (including the tail), with a six, or eight, foot wingspan.
They said that they mostly just glided, from tree to tree, as they flew.
They did not spit any fire, or venom.
Basically harmless to humans, they equated them to being a damn nuisance predator, like a fox. Routinely killing chickens, and attacking new lambs.
The local people there didn't recognize them as being anything extraordinary. They viewed them as a threat to property, which needed to be eliminated.
The story goes, that they were basically hunted into extinction by the local farmers. They were easy to kill, and apparently couldn't replenish their population faster than they were being exterminated.
I've often wondered if this story was true, and if so... how very sad.
That depresses me to an extreme level :c
There are 4 foot long gliding snakes so if that was true it was either they saying that one of these gliding snakes were larger than they really are or it’s a undiscovered snake but unlikely. Assuming your telling the truth.
i find it disappointing that those "dragons" didn't spit venom - at the very least.
That is one of the most annoying facts about so called mythical creatures. Some of them were real. Humans were annoyed or frightened. Humans killed them. Then got the nerve to say that the creatures never even existed.

So do gods stories and epic tales. And guess what...
I have a Webster's dictionary from the 1920's. Dragon is defined as a very rare reptile.
the word dragon means huge ( longer than 2m ) reptile. It comes from greek and latin. webster was modified to fit the darwinist agenda
Ok??? 😂😂😂😂 Dum*@$$
9 months later still waiting for the full definition out of your imaginary dictionary
@@Hu54644 The word Dragon original meaning was snake. The defiinition oof snake at that time in today terms meant reptile. As time progressed the word for snake was replace and the word Dragon started to mean giant reptile ( and by giant I would say it meant a reptile that could be a danger to a 12 years old child) . This meaning remained more or less the same until around 1400 AD . In the late medieval age with the advent of hieraldics and embelished stories from people that never saw a dragon dragons started to combine and get supernatural powers. As a note the standard dragon would have 1-3 heads most ( unless it was a moral story never meant to be literal) and if it couls spit anything it was poison . The cases where dragons could spit fire are extremely rare and with the except of the Leviathan most probably just spit something that could easily catch fire not fire itself ( and considering the lighting was done by torches...). About flight some dragons could fly but they were described either not having any limbs apart from wings ( which is unrealistic) or gaving only 2 extra limbs ( what we would call a wyvern - and darwinists probably would call a pterodactyl) . The six limbs dragons only started appearing again during the medieval time around 14 century. By the pre-medieval definition some crocodiles and some snakes ( like the Anaconda, Python, Boa) can be considered dragons. As a note some dragons had decorations you could say on their heads. This lead to people to say that certain lizards that looked similar but where more smaller could also be considered dragons even in the medieval age. In conclusion even if the term was not very well defined the definition would be a reptile large enough to eat a 12 years old child.

are you stupid
There was a news report in the 1960s about an eagle attacking a small child and trying to fly off carrying the kid but the parents or someone scaring the bird into dropping the child. I think it was in the midwest area of the USA. Also there was a report about a small plane pilot in Alaska saying a bird flew by him and the pilot swore that the bird's wingspan was almost as big as the plane's wingspan.
Where is the proof
A golden eagle could pick up a toddler they grab goats sheep for short time and drop them off edge of mountain

Herodotus the Greek historian wrote about dragons, flying serpents, some with legs, some without. The apocrypha mentions David killing a dragon. Marco Polo wrote about seeing what we would call a dinosaur. Strabo, another Greek historian wrote about dragons and flying serpents in India. And the Chinese wrote about using dragon blood and bone in certain medicine. Just look up dragons in history and follow the rabbit hole.
About Marco Polo and chinese dragon bones - it's sort of true.
Dinosaur fossils were often found in modern northern China and Mongolia since antiquity (at least those finding were written down, older ones should definatelly be done as well, but in that time there were no writting).
@@alexmalyarchuk1723 yup, and what about the Incan burial stones that depict humans riding on dinosaurs. Hundreds of years before the first fossils were ever discovered.
@@southpawhammer8644 not Incan stones, but Ica stones (hence Ica province in Peru). Most of them are fakes, made by Basilio Uschuya in 1960's and later popularised by Javier Cabrera Darquea. Uschuya had admitted, that he made them up. Some are real thing, made by precolombian cultures, but those ones has no pictures of stegosaurus and other "dinosaur pictures".
@Southpaw Hammer Ica stones are not the only fraud of such type. Earlier, in 1945, there was huge shouting about Acambaro statues from Mexico - about 30 thousands of small teracota figures, many resembled non-avian dinosaurs. All of them were "found" by Waldemar Julsrud. In 1960's scientists made final verdict - those figures were made in 1930's, not earlier.
So Ica stones were not the first attempt to made name and fortune for "occasional" finders.
@Jason Berryman Leaving the city of Yachi, and traveling ten days in a westerly direction, you reach the province of Karazan, which is also the name of the chief city....Here are seen huge serpents, ten paces in length (about 30 feet), and ten spans (about 8 feet) girt of the body. At the fore part, near the head, they have two short legs, having three claws like those of a tiger, with eyes larger than a forepenny loaf (pane da quattro denari) and very glaring."
The jaws are wide enough to swallow a man, the teeth are large and sharp, and their whole appearance is so formidable, that neither man, nor any kind of animal can approach them without terror. Others are met with of a smaller size, being eight, six, or 5 paces long; and the following method is used for taking them. In the day-time, by reason of great heat, they lurk in caverns, from whence, at night, they issue to seek their food, and whatever beast they meet with and can lay hold of, whether tiger, wolf, or any other, they devour;
"After which they drag themselves towards some lake, spring of water, or river, in order to drink. By their motion in this way along the shore, and their vast weight, they make a deep impression, as if a heavy beam had been drawn along the sands. Those whose employment is to hunt them observe the track by which they are most frequently accustomed to go, and fix into the ground several pieces of wood, armed with sharp iron spikes, which they cover with sand in such a manner as not to be perceptible.
When therefore the animals make their way towards the places they usually haunt, they are wounded by these instruments, and speedily killed. The crows, as soon as they perceive them to be dead, set up to scream; and this serves as a signal to the hunters, who advance the spot, and proceed to separate the skin from the flesh, taking care immediately to secure the gall, which is most highly esteemed in medicine.
In cases of the bite of a mad dog, a penny weight of it, dissolved in wine, is administered. It is also useful in accelerating parturition, when the labor pains of women have come on. A small quantity of it being applied to carbuncles, pustules, or other eruptions on the body, they are presently dispersed; and it is efficacious in many other complaints.
The flesh also of the animal is sold at a dear rate, being thought to have a higher flavor than other kinds of meat, and by all persons it is esteemed a delicacy." (The Travels of Marco Polo, © 1948,Book 2, Chapter XL, pg. 185-186)

I read a book that postulated this theory, and the authors added in that the fire-breathing bit was achieved chemically.
The caustic liquids were kept in two organs similar to the way a stomach and a gizzard have separate jobs to do within the digestive process. They pointed out that some reptiles spit venom, and dragon fire was a similar adaptation.
Once the dragon died, the chemicals also helped dissolve the hollow bone evidence.
Convenient.
Interesting theory
Very similar to the reason why there has never been a human skeleton found, as when a human dies the stomach acid dissolves all the evidence.
I assume this book was bought at the scholastic book fair lmao
No it’s not even a book he’s talking about the dragon documentary but that was proven to be all fake
Dragons could have been 100% real, maybe not fire breathers but probably acid spitters. A giant flying reptile that could regurgitate acid could have totally been possible
Absolutely reasonable. It only makes sense that it was exaggerated but with basic reason or logic while also giving in to belief you can determine what seems realistic when toned down or what's complete bs. Bigfoot for me is a no. But dragons is a yes because there are more animals that resemble the concept of a dragon.

well Imagine a 40 pound Eagle then? If a 5 pound Eagle can carry away a 10 pound salmon then a 40 pound Eagle can carry away a 80 pound child in theory....
He almost said they are light for their weight.
Not really how physics works. A 40 pound eagle with the same proportions would only be about 3 times the size and be able to carry (as lift is directly to proportional to wing surface area) 30 pounds, so not even able to get off the ground. In order to lift 80 pounds it would need to have a wingspan around 50-60 feet
@@VortexMMA_ My first calculation (the one that couldn't fly) was for an eagle 3 times the size because thats how big a 40 pound eagle would be with the same proportions. Square cube law means increasing size increases the mass exponentially, hence why it needs a ridiculous wing span to lift 80 pounds.

Yeah and a 30 ton eagle can lift the statue of liberty

If you think about it pteridactle are dragon's
This actually comes from a book written in the late 90's. The man who wrote the book actually broke down the science, and science after him only tends to support his theory more and more.
Few thoughts.
Dinosaurs closest relatives are birds, and we are now aware they are all feathered animals.
Birds are the ones with hallow bones.
He theorized that some species actually do have ventral sacks which operate off of acidic digestive systems.
A combination of a ventral sack and hallow bones would allow a larger dinosaur to fly instead of glide.
the highly acidic stomach required for a ventral sack also produces a lot of hydrogen.
Hydrogen is flamable, and with a mechanism to produce a spark like an eel, could turn them into an effective bire-breather.
But yeah... the book was interesting, and it was surprising that the man that wrote it did the math on it.
It was a theory to which the author himself didn't seem to portray as a 'belief'.
**Edited: Someone revealed the book name: The Flight of Dragons by Peter Dickinson.
Just putting this here so people stop asking. Interesting read.
That is so interesting!
I thought dinosaurs most closely related animal were crocodiles and lizards, reptiles in general.
Amazing your explanation about how it could be possible that they actually spit fire!
i doubt that. they're serpents not birds.
dragons are a mix of 7 different animals including the eagle.
@@princessadora Completely incorrect. T-Rex, for instance, closest ancestor is the chicken. A close second is the Ostrich.
In fact, most modern paleontologists are certain that almost all dinosaurs were feathered as well.
This was first published in SCIENCE magazine in 2008, and is now widely accepted as fact, btw, in the paleontology community.
I get it is weird to hear, having seen the same depictions of reptilian dinosaurs for your entire life.
In fact the term raptor, means "bird of prey". So many paleontologists believed this was true long before it was proofed (both by fossil record and genetically), and considered fact by everyone.
This also makes almost every dinosaur movie you've ever seen, utterly incorrect in the visuals used to portray dinosaurs as reptiles.

I like to believe dragons may have existed but not in the way we think. It's possible that lizards during ancient times were more massive than crocodiles and komodos. I bet some didn't even fly and some were smaller but with long bodies and hollow bones which helped them glide across the sky giving the illusion that they were flying. It's also possible that these dragons may have been already close to extinction by the time civilizations started writing stories about them.
Why would any of these be truly extinct when the Mokelle M'Kembie (Brontosaurus) is so prevalent to South American Amazon tribes that they see them on an every-other-year basis, get sick, and die when they eat them; my literal SRGT.

Never in my life have I considered the possibility of dragons actually existing, but now that I’m thinking about it more…it actually doesn’t sound THAT crazy. Especially considering the depictions of dragons that span across multiple cultures and societies.
Every depiction of a dragon comes from a story, or a myth, why didn't any historian at the time write about this dragons? If you are writing the story of Alexander, (the anabasis of Alexander by Arrian for example) , shouldn't Alexander have encountered dragons more than once? If he did, why not write about it? If it's because there were just another animal at the time, are you telling me that dragons existed and never attacked an army ? And Where are the fossils of dragons? And when and why people stopped thinking that dragons existed if they had to live with them? I don't think that a dragon is a very forgettable creature...
And all of this without even mentioning the scientific questions, just the logical ones....
@@Name-cz5jj The Japanese army had to abandon Burma because many soldiers were devoured by crocodiles.
That is just the example in the top of my head, if a fucking dragon existed and it's hungry, why not eat some soldiers? And where did he nest? Are you telling me that never s group of soldiers got to close to a dragon nesting zone?
Well consider this. There are almost definitely entire orders of animals completely unknown to science, based on the implied gaps in the fossil record.
Also think about it like this if they did have hollow bones not only would they not fossilize but they would be lighter meaning the possibility of flight was increased. Also It is theorized they did not fart & waste that gas rather save it in their body like another set of lungs & use that methane combined with a spark from them grinding their teeth together to create fire. It is theorized they searched for or a mineral that would cause this spark the same way goats seek out salt

Why does it seem so far-fetched that Dragons actually existed? So many stories, from so many non-connected groups of people, all depicting the same stories... Giants, Dragons, world-wide flood, dinosaurs. All stories told by people on different continents, all unconnected. Seems crazy to doubt.
really ??
Lots of people and cultures shared mythos, mermaids are a biggie and many others too. In terms of dragons, I think it's just a case of plenty of animals that look like dragons (from dinosaurs to marine reptile) were found abd people spun their stories. They used to think megladon teeth were the tongues of serpents for example.
It's a nice story but I very much doubt fire breathing dragons existed as we know them.
@@fawnieee Mermaids are a relatively modern story. Around 1000 B.C. is the first tale and the stories spread with trade around Asia and Europe. There are Dragon stories from all over the world, long before trade routes reached around the world. The stories from South American Tribes, North American Indians, Europeans, Africans, and Asians, all describe similar beasts that resembled what we now know as dinosaurs.
Jason Dougherty I am willing to admit that a real life dragon is 100% possible knowing how little we actually know about the earth before our dominance. Now it is incredibly hard to believe that they could shoot fire but a real animal is 100% possible. A tiny tiny fraction of animals that have ever existed were actually fossilized. So we know that we are missing a lot of the earths history pertaining to living breathing creatures.
@@fawnieee i saw a theory that explained the fire breathing dilemma. What if it was some sort of venom that when irritated the skin and gave the sensation of burning. After many stories and translations people correlated that to fire.
'Dragons' as a concept isn't that crazy. Some Pterosaurs were the size of a modern day giraffe with massive wings. I believe Quetzalcoatlus was the largest animal to ever fly. Well, according to the fossil record.
Tru, just without fire and extinct since 66 Ma

Here after the gargoyle’s on the view went on a rant about this.
Dragons maybe but joy is proof that there are gargoyles
Yes, dragons existed. They are just called differently now: dinosaurs.
Most likely a combination of man’s innate fear of snakes mixed with finding dinosaur bones.

Correct…..dragons are now called dinosaurs. 100% correct. 👍
Ha! Ask your mom about my dragon last night haha
The cowned eagle has in recent history killed human children as 7 years. It kills its prey by swooping down and puncturing its throat or skull. I've used them and a few others as the basis for dragons in my writing. Vultures and other similar birds will spit out stomach acid in self defence. And in most cultures I believe dragons would breathe poison gas or spit acid.
I also throw in some other creatures as inspiration for dragons like bombardier beetles which kill predators with steam and giant deathstalker scorpions which literally spray their kurtoxin at their targets. And plenty more wildly fantasy sounding animals.
The Anglo Saxons did document large "terror birds" That the armies would repeatedly have to kill because they would devastate their crops.
@John Macmillan That's pretty cool
terror birds scare the shit outta me in ark
That's some bullcrap man. The Anglosaxons were prehistoric (Mesolithic to Neolithic) unless you mean the medieval ones; in which case why haven't the Romans or Frisians reported terrorbirds?
@@choonbox Anglo-Saxons are prehistoric? You're funny.
Dat dere vulture
Who’s here after Joe trolled the View
Joe: stoned as f
Also joe: “Like an eagle”
Jude Rogina a month later when I’m watching this video i am very happy you said that because I noticed that too lol. Sounds like something my dumbass would say
He was saying like an eagle because they say birds such as eagles have hollow like bones so they don't fossilize.. So if dragons did exist they may have had those same types of bones which dont fossilize so we cant have proof of them thru fossils. Yeah man.
The patron saint of England is called Saint George. He was famous for slaying a dragon. The flag of England is called The Saint George Cross 🏴
@fredirecko it’s just because dragons are awesome 😎🏴🐉 I still can’t decide if I prefer western or eastern dragon bodies 🤔
A lot of bullshit came from England relax
1:15 Best part
Guest: “Yeah dragons existed blah blah...”
Joe: “......whuuuuuut.....? 😦”
we have bombardier beetle, fire/bullet ant, snakes, blood squirting lizards etc. so maybe dragons had something like venom /acid/ etc that gives a burning sensation.
So i do agree that there existed dragons. maybe multiple species depending on geology and environment, just like how we have many different sub/species of animals that we have today.
I'm a New Zealander. I live in a small city at the top of the south island called Nelson. I went on a school trip over to the Golden Bay which is a 2.5 hour drive west of Nelson. We went on a walk through the national park and found remains of a moa just off the path. It was cool. Also is caves on top of Takaka hill. Huge limestone caves underground at the top of the hill. There are moa bones in there too. Another little story to add is while on another school trip to haast on the west coast of the south island we got told story's about the haast eagle. The local maori think a couple of them are still alive in the mountains of the fiordlands national park which is the bottom west of the south island. The moose he talks about in the podcast is in that area too. Its the most dense bush we have in nz. Some of it never explored.
Wake up early morning, wake and bake, check TH-cam, “were dragons real”
Oh ok.
Drumstixx that sounds like a great idea

When I used to work second shift I used to wake and bake all the time. But now that I'm on first shift. Can't do it anymore. Get wayyyyyy too paranoid.

Seriously though, criticizing someone for smoking weed in the comment section of a joe rogan video about dragons?
What a div
Don’t worry guys, he’s just jealous he woke up with a lump on his balls instead of a pre-roll.
They wouldn’t have bones that would fossilize.
Joe: “so they’d be like an eagle.”

What he said wrong
@SilentBob420BMFJ you may, or may not believe me because this is the internet, but, I am a Palaeontologist; and I can undeniably state there are bird fossils, one of the most famous one in archaeopteryx. There are also fossils of duck-or goose like birds from just before the comet impact. So birds fossils are rare, but they DO happen. And yea this is total bullshit, if you ask me a more likely explanation is that all these cultures have fossil outcrops which include certain species of dinosaur of which the skulls, or other pieces may have inspired these stories....
My mom used to say dragons used to exist a long time ago when dinosaurs were around and she would go on to say they also survived the ice age but went extinct during medieval Times
