Are dinosaurs like dragons or are dragons like dinosaurs?
Throughout the world there are the fossils of saurians. The word saurian is actually taken from the Early Greek “sauros” which translates to both Lizard and dinosaur. The earliest of reported and written word of Dragons to come outside of oral mythic tales came when fossilized Dinosaur bones and skulls found in the wilderness of Yin China. The dinosaur fossils were sold to apothecaries as “Dragon-bones” approximately 2500 years B.C.E. The fossils were written about as Dragons by scholars and images were painted by artists using the bones as models. Large curved Fangs, multiple horns, and claws were added to earlier images.
