I was just wondering....does goblins,fairy,unicorn,dragons and etc really
existed?!?!?! there're were some where they say that dragon did existed?
then what about the rest of the myth creatures? do they REALLY exist..? thx!
Well i heard the dragons were inspired from the bones of the dinosaurs. When
people found the first bones of a T-rex or other flesh eating dinosaurs they
thought big creatures existed in the past and that they still exist to this day.
I don't know how it came that they can spit fire or anything else but it's a
pretty good subject for a movie or a story.
Do dragons and other myth creatures really did exist?
NO. or at least that's my opinion. But our culture is rich in these subjects and
that's a good thing.People need a good fantasy story or movie from time to time.
Imagine yourself when you're old telling a dragon story to your nephow. That
will be a great memory that you and your nephow will both treasure.
Well most mythical creatures are based on actual animals that once existed and
in that way they sort of do or did exists albeit in a much exaggerated forms
like Kazakian said. Take vampires for example. The idea behind them is traced
back to a historical character called Vlad the Impaler who was supposedly known
for some truly horrible atrocities. I'd suggest looking up some of these
creatures to find out what inspired them before making the determination that
they did/do of did/do not exist.
Every culture I've ever heard of, across the globe, has some sort of dragon-like
creature in their myths-from the ancient Aztecs to the Europeans to the
Japanese. Perhaps they were inspired by dinosaurs... but they must have been
inspired by SOMETHING, because every culture has dragons in its myths.
...Either way, I'm glad that there aren't any dinosuars now. The little-bitty
ones might be okay, but I wouldn't want to have a T-Rex wandering about in my
front yard. ^^;
No. They didn't exist, and they still don't exist.
Interesting thing about the dragon, yes....one of the more frequented
mythological creatures in several cultures....
I know that in Greece and Rome the dragon is basically a glorified snake (or
hydra - one snake with several heads). Later on they took over the Babylonian
and Syrian monsters (Leviathan, Behemoth, Ti'anan, etc.) and demons and
basically "draconized" them.
Some cases could of course be due to the discovery of dinosaur bones, Iguanas
(the big ones), and later, the Komodo dragons.
But ist not always dragons that play the central role. Other mythological
creates include your everyday animals: insane bulls and boars and wolfs. And
eagles...and a GIANT turtle (just read Sinbad). Then you get the hybrids - the
minotaur (half bull, half man), the basilisk (half snake, half chicken), chimera
(half lion, half snake, half goat [or any other halfs of your choice]).
Dunno much about the fairy folk...there's to much of them. I do know however
that orcs are an invention of Tolkien - the only form prior to him is the Orcus,
or underworld, of Roman mythology. Also where orca (killer whale) comes from.
umm..... mythical creatures don't exist..... though that thing on discovery
channel said something about dragons, they don't exist..... they're fictional
creatures from novels...... Unless you like a real dragon, the komodo dragon. it
has no wings and doesn't spit fire though. Chimeras in greek mythology..... read
some mythology to satisfy your thirst for knowledge
Oh, you're ending it now? But I
wanted to post. lol
Anyway, in all seriousness, in Carl Sagan's the "Dragons of Eden",
which is basically a collection of coherent and intelligent speculations on the
development of human intelligences, Sagan does comment on how cultures all
around to world have some form of fear in regard to reptiles... Also he mentions
how baboons have an innate fear of snakes. Which leads back to the whole dragons
in culture thing. I think the whole "Dragons" idea came from some of
the old reptiles or the unearthing of dinosaur bones by the ancient cultures.
