Were dragons ever real?

To the right is a picture of a dinosaur fighting a mammoth from the book Buried Alive by Dr. Jack Cuozzo (click to enlarge). It was taken by the author in the Bernifal Cave, one of the caverns in France that is renowned for Neanderthal artifacts.

In 600 BC, under the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, a Babylonian artist was commissioned to shape reliefs of animals on the structures associated with the Ishtar Gate.

How do cultures share the same creature? 200 BC- Norwegian Relic How do cultures share the same creature?

100 BC Nile Dragon being vanquished for killing the kings daughter.

The bronze styling on this artifact suggests it is from the Zhou Dynasty (1122 B.C. – 220 B.C.) or possibly from the Han Dynasty (206 B. +C. – 220 A.D.). It displays numerous characteristics of the beaked dinosaurs

Another fascinating Chinese artifact is the Late Eastern Zhou Sauropod (Fang Jian) Ornamental box. Displaying a tridactyl foot, a long neck and a head that resembles a Brachiosaur, this depiction is compelling.

About 4,000 years ago, the Hongshan culture in China produced many wonderful jade dragon carvings

The ancient Sumatrans produced multiple pieces of art depicting long-tailed, long-necked creatures with a headcrest

This pottery was created around 550 B. C This pottery was created around 550 B.C., and depicts the Greek hero Heracles rescuing Hesione from this “monster of Troy.”

The picture above right (click to enlarge) was drawn by North American Anasazi Indians that lived in the area that has now become Utah approximately 150 B.C. – 1200 .

Sioux Indians further west, when interviewed by ethnologists, described Unktehi as an immense reptile or serpent with legs. He was shaped like a giant scaly snake with feet and a notched backbone or crest like a giant saw and had a heavy spiked tail.

Middle Mesa at the Wupatki National Park has a petroglyph that appears to be a depiction of a fire-breathing dinosaur. Middle Mesa, Colorado.

(Philostratus, Flavius, The Life of Apollonius of Tyanna, 170 AD (Philostratus, Flavius, The Life of Apollonius of Tyanna, 170 AD.) Pliny the Elder also referenced large dragons in India in his Natural History.

Ceremonial Burial Stones that are likely from the Nazca culture.

From the Amazon rainforest that is said by secular archaeologists to be thousands of years old. Amazingly, one of the pictographs shows nine warriors hunting what appears to be a dinosaur.

Medieval depiction is seen at the Palau de La Generalitat in Barcelona Spain. St. George’s Chapel contains an altar cloth illustrating St. George’s slaying of a dragon.
